Your child just plays. Tap Play → pick Creative or Survival → go. Nothing below is required.

These settings are all optional — use them if you'd like to:

• ⏱️ Set a daily time limit
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Turn on multiplayer — the public Commons (no code) or a private world (share a code with people you know)
• 📊 Link a Family Code to watch activity from your phone
• ☁️ Back up progress · 🍇 enter a supporter code · 🖥️ adjust sound & brightness

The website (vineblocks.com) only holds optional extras — safety info, giving, and the dashboard. Everything needed to play lives right here in the game. Full map at vineblocks.com/how.

Set a daily play limit. When it's reached, the game gently winds down with a restful verse — teaching that rest is good and holy (Genesis 2:2–3). Pair it with Screen Time / Family Safety as the hard backstop.

Daily limit:

No chat, no names, no typing — ever. Players only see each other move and send a few pre-approved emoji (👋 🙏 ❤️). It's off by default and behind a quick parent check.

To play together: tap the green button → answer the quick math → tap Join the Commons (or create a World Code to share) → tap Done and start playing. You'll see each other once you're in the world.

Which should we use?
• Playing with people you know (family, cousins, a church group) → use a Private world — trusted-only, and the owner can even allow free building.
• Want to drop into a public space with anyone → use the Commons — safe by design (no chat, Build-Kits only).

🌍 The Commons — one big public world everyone shares. Safe by design: no chat, and everyone builds only with Build Kits (whole approved structures). No code needed — anyone who taps this joins the same place, so it's the easy way to play together.

🌍 Join the Commons

🔒 A private world — just for people you know (cousins, a church group). One person taps Create and shares the World Code; everyone else types that same World Code and taps Join.

One private code for your family. It keeps your progress safe across devices and powers the optional parent dashboard. Keep it private — never share it. (To play with others, use the shareable World Code in the Multiplayer section above.)

Moving to a new device? Enter that device's Family Code to bring your progress over:

📊 Parent dashboard (optional). Grown-ups: go to vineblocks.com/dashboard, enter this same Family Code and set a PIN, to see play time, missions & Scripture — anonymous numbers only, never a name.
