The Cottage

Sandbox world

A house you can walk into — and the clearest thing here to remix.

What it is

The Cottage is a house you can walk into, 2,888 blocks in a 49 by 39 footprint. It is the smallest of the sandbox worlds and the clearest one to take apart.

What is in it

There is an interior, and getting into it is the whole of it. Being an enclosed building makes it the best demonstration of why the collision mesh is built greedily rather than per-block — a wall is one collider, not four hundred.

Controls

What you need to start

MoveWASDArrow keys work too.
JumpSpace
Sprint / lock onShiftA latch, not a hold: tap once to arm sprint and a camera lock-on together, tap again to release both. Neither carries over into the next world you open.

Sprint is a latch rather than a hold — tap it once and it stays on. Every control, keyboard and touch, including respawn, restart and the camera keys, and all of them rebindable.
