Worlds: Loading

Loading worlds in-game

When in your server, navigate to:

Esc Pause menu -> Worlds -> Load World

The "Select A World" menu will open. Refer to the Selecting a world section for more information.

Caution

Save the current world manually before loading another world into your server! The game will not automatically save your progress for you when you load another world. Even if you turned on auto saving for your server, it may not be granular enough to capture and save smaller changes.

Selecting a world

Discover tab

The Discover tab provides access to the Gallery, where you can explore curated worlds uploaded by users of varying experience levels and selected by staff. The gallery is the number one official destination for world downloads.

Staff Picks

An entire section dedicated to worlds curated by the staff of Brickadia due to their great quality or significance in the community. Want the best of Brickadia? Look in this section.

Who's playing what in Brickadia? This section shows worlds currently popular right now in the community, ranked by likes and views recently accumulated.

Looking for something that stood the test of time? This section houses the top worlds of all time, ordered by the most likes, then most views.

New

The literal newest worlds for you to browse. Will you get lucky and find an underrated gem? This section might be the best place to do so.

To search worlds in the gallery, click the Gallery button on the top-right corner to browse all worlds with keywords and filters.

Click on the Search... box and start typing away. Think about a specific kind of world.

Filtering search results

Tags

Worlds must match the exact tags selected in the search filters menu. For example:

  • Filtering by Megabuild and Showcase will only show worlds that have both the tag Megabuild and Showcase
    • Worlds with the tag Megabuild only will not appear in search
    • Worlds with the tag Showcase only will not appear in search

For more insight into the tags and their closest definitions, check out the Tags page in the glossary section. The page contains historical context that is vital to understanding "why these tags specifically?".

If the worlds in the Gallery do not fulfill your purpose or give you joy in any way, why not just make one to your liking from scratch?

Click the New World button on the top-right corner, which will bring up a dialog to select an environment where your new world will take place.

Select one of the environments to house your world in. You cannot change this after selecting the environment!

Click the Create New World button to confirm creating a new world. Since you're currently in your server, this will instantly take you to your newly created world.

My Worlds

Additively loading a world using a command

Additive load allows you to merge the contents of two separate worlds together by appending another world with the current one on your server.

  • Appendable

    • Bricks on the global grid
    • Entities
    • Brick grids
  • Not appendable

    • Map and environment settings

search: exclude: true


Open up the console using the ~ key or the F6 key when your Brickadia client is open.

If you want your console output to be visible during this process, press the ~ key or the F6 key again to show the console output.

Finally, press the ~ key or the F6 key for the third time to close the console.

Since the dedicated server is a command line program, you can get straight into using console commands.

Type in the following command:

Command
BR.World.LoadAdditive "Path" [Offset X] [Offset Y] [Offset Z] [orientation]

This will save the current world as a new world.

Arguments:

  • [Path]
    Path to save the new world in. No need to add .brdb at the end of the file name.
  • [Offset X] in micro-units
    The offset of the world that will be additively loaded, on the X-axis.
  • [Offset Y] in micro-units
    The offset of the world that will be additively loaded, on the Y-axis.
  • [Offset Z] in micro-units
    The offset of the world that will be additively loaded, on the Z-axis.
  • [Orientation]
    Input an integer value from 0 to 23. Leave blank to load the world in its original orientation.
List of orientation numbers

A list of all numbers that correspond with certain orientations and rotations:

  • 0-3 (+X):
    • 0: +X (no rotation)
    • 1: +X (+90 degrees CW)
    • 2: +X (+180 degrees CW)
    • 3: +X (+270 degrees CW)
  • 4-7 (-X):
    • 4: -X (no rotation)
    • 5: -X (+90 degrees CW)
    • 6: -X (+180 degrees CW)
    • 7: -X (+270 degrees CW)
  • 8-11 (+Y):
    • 8: +Y (no rotation)
    • 9: +Y (+90 degrees CW)
    • 10: +Y (+180 degrees CW)
    • 11: +Y (+270 degrees CW)
  • 12-15 (-Y):
    • 12: -Y (no rotation)
    • 13: -Y (+90 degrees CW)
    • 14: -Y (+180 degrees CW)
    • 15: -Y (+270 degrees CW)
  • 16-19 (+Z):
    • 16: +Z (no rotation)
    • 17: +Z (+90 degrees CW)

BR.World.LoadAdditive "island" 0 0 100

This appends the contents of the world named "island" into your current world with an offset on the Z axis of 100 micro-units.

BR.World.LoadAdditive "island" 0 0 0 10

This appends the contents of the world named "island" into your current world with the world facing the positive Y axis with an added 180-degree rotation.

Warning

Part of your world may be buried under the ground. Make sure to give additional offset to the Z-axis.

BR.World.LoadAdditive "island" 0 0 100 10

This appends the contents of the world named "island" into your current world with an offset on the Z axis of 100 micro-units and facing the positive Y axis with an added 180-degree rotation.
