Creating a blank world
A world is your persistent save. Creating a blank one is the quickest way to start playing: you give it a name, pick the game it's for, and it's ready to host rooms right away.

Create a world
- Go to Worlds → New world.
- Name it — this is just for you, to tell your worlds apart.
- Pick the game. Only games that keep a persistent save show up here (for example Minecraft and TeamSpeak). Games that don't keep a save — like Counter-Strike — aren't world-backed, so they don't appear.
- Pick the version (Minecraft only). One option is marked Recommended — that's the default and a safe choice if you're not sure.
- (Optional) Set a custom address so friends always join the same hostname.
- Hit create. Your new world appears in Worlds, empty and ready.
That's it — the world starts out blank, and the actual map is generated the first time you open a room against it.
What's pinned to a world
A few things are fixed when you create the world and can't change afterward:
| Pinned at creation | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Game | The world is built for that game's save format. |
| Version (Minecraft) | Every room you open inherits it, so a save can never be loaded on an incompatible version. |
| Region | Where the server runs. Rooms for this world always run in this region. |
The name and the custom address aren't permanent — you can rename or clear the address later.
If you want a different Minecraft version later, just create a new world with that version selected. Worlds are free to create; you only pay while a room is running.
A blank world starts empty. If you already have a Minecraft save you want to play on Lanzinha, don't create a blank world — import it instead so your terrain and builds come along.
After it's created
Once the world exists you can:
- Open a room against it — that's when the map generates and billing begins.
- Give it a custom address if you skipped that step.
- Watch your storage and quota as worlds grow.
- Export or delete it whenever you like.
