Growblox Beginner's Guide: How to Play
Last updated:
Growblox is a Growtopia-style sandbox on Roblox: you break blocks to collect seeds and gems, build your own world, and trade with other players. This guide covers your first hour, from picking a skin colour to locking your first world.
Step 1: First-time setup
When you join for the first time you choose a name and a skin colour, and you can check the keybinds (Punch, Jump, Move Left, Move Right, Move Down). Every key can be changed later, and there is a Reset Keys button. The Options menu also has sliders for SFX, music, bubble opacity, graphic detail and touch buttons, plus a Low Graphics option that helps older phones.
Step 2: Learn the controls
| Action | PC | Mobile |
|---|---|---|
| Move | Left / right keys (rebindable) | Arrow buttons |
| Jump | Jump key | Up-arrow button |
| Punch / break / harvest | Punch key or click | Fist button |
| Choose item | Bar at the bottom | Tap the bar |
| Menu | Menu icon top-left | Menu icon |
The main menu holds Exit World, Respawn, Options, Store, Support, Logout and Daily Quests.
Step 3: Redeem STARTERKIT
If your account is new and at least 30 days old, redeem STARTERKIT for free seeds and blocks. Full list on the codes page.
Step 4: Break blocks, collect seeds
Punch a block a few times and it breaks into a puff of dust, sometimes dropping a seed or gems. Seeds have a rarity number (a Rock Seed is rarity 1, a Wood Block is rarity 2, a Sugar Cane Seed is 24). Higher rarity means slower trees but more valuable drops. When a stack is full you will see "(item maxed)".
Step 5: Plant and harvest trees
Plant a seed on a tile and a tree grows. Hover or tap it to see the timer, for example "Grass Tree – 13 secs to harvest" or "Sugar Cane Tree – 2 hours, 25 mins". When it says Punch to harvest!, punch it to collect blocks and seeds. This is the core loop explained in the farming guide.
Step 6: Do your Daily Quests
Open Daily Quests from the menu. Quests such as "Splice 3 seeds" (250 gems) and "Harvest 10 trees of rarity 30 or more" (1,500 gems) are the best early gem income. See Daily Quests.
Step 7: Lock your world
Save about 2,025 gems for a World Lock so nobody else can break or build in your world. Smaller Small, Big and Huge Locks (100–550 gems) protect just an area. See World Locks.
Mistakes new players make
- Spending gems on seed packs before you own a World Lock.
- Building in an unlocked world where anyone can break it.
- Trying to trade code items before level 10.
- Dropping items for strangers who promise to "trade back".
