Build something playable

Craftly lets you build a Minecraft plot and give it behavior with physical codeblocks. You can start with a welcome message, then add scores, rounds, custom items, reusable methods, and your own classes.

These docs cover the features available to ordinary players and plot creators. Some tools require ownership of your plot or access granted by its owner; each guide explains that requirement.

Your first session

1. Find your way around and create a plot.
2. Learn Build, Dev, and Play.
3. Make your first interaction.
4. Understand the editor and variables.
5. Use expressions to calculate values and insert them into messages.
6. Progress to methods and classes.

Find a specific feature

The reference lists operations, conditions, events, game values, types, commands, and settings. Search by the full in-game label or operation identifier. Reference pages describe current behavior; examples show editor configurations rather than text you paste into a programming console.

Reading the examples

Event: Player Join
  Call Method → Event Target → Send Message
    Message: "Welcome to my plot!"

Each indented line is a block or an input on a block. Place and configure it in Dev mode. Quotation marks around a displayed String usually distinguish it from a menu label; enter the contents without those outer quotes. Expressions inside a String remain part of its contents.

About this edition

Reviewed against the current Craftly implementation on October 24, 2026. These are player instructions, not plugin installation or administration instructions. If an older tutorial disagrees with a label here, use the current in-game menus and consult troubleshooting.
