Our Global Community
BuildTheEarth is powered by dedicated regional Build Teams across the globe, each managing servers for specific countries and areas. Many builders start by recreating their own house, school, or neighborhood before taking on larger landmarks. No prior experience is required - our welcoming community provides tutorials, tools, and mentorship to help you grow from your first building to complex cityscapes.

Getting started is simple. Find the Build Team for the region you want to recreate and join their Discord server. Most teams have a quick onboarding process where you build a small trial structure to learn the projection and scaling tools. Experienced builders and staff are always available on Discord to answer questions, provide feedback, and guide you every step of the way.
