How to buy a parcel

How you can buy a Cryptovoxels parcel via primary sale or secondary sale

How to build

Where can you build?

• In a Parcel that you own
• In a Parcel that you're a collaborator on

• In a free Space

Cube (texturable)

A Cube is not actually a voxel, but a feature - which means you place it and modify it like a feature. This means that the build/paint/erase tools used for other blocks do not work on these.

What makes the Cube different?

• You can pull images from the web or womps and use as the texture
• You can toggle collision (if off, avatars can walk through it)
• Tints and textures can be different per every Cube used
• You can add a feature ID to it for scripting
• You can add a script to it
• You can rotate a Cube
• You can resize a Cube
