World Planner Guide
The World Planner lets you design your Pixel Worlds layout before you build it in-game. The canvas is exactly 80 tiles wide by 60 tiles tall — the size of a standard locked world.
Getting Started
Browse the block palette on the left side. Click any item to select it, then click or drag on the canvas to place it. Each block you place is counted in the Summary panel, so you can estimate how many of each item you'll need before building in-game.
Use the search box above the palette to quickly find any block by name. Click FG or BG above the canvas to switch which layer you're editing.
Tools & Keyboard Shortcuts
B Draw — click or drag to place the selected block
E Erase — remove blocks from the canvas
F Fill — flood-fill a connected area
S Select — draw a rectangular selection
V Move — pan a selected region
H Hand — pan the canvas view
Z Undo
X Redo
P Open Pixel Art Converter
+− Zoom in / zoom out
Middle mouse button or Space + drag also pans the canvas — useful when zoomed in.
Layers: FG and BG
The planner has two independent layers. Foreground (FG) is for solid blocks — platforms, walls, and decorative items that characters stand on or interact with. Background (BG) is for backgrounds, wallpapers, and decorative back-layer items.
Click the FG / BG tab above the canvas to switch between them. Both layers are always visible simultaneously, just like in the actual game.
Quick Palette
Right-click any block in the main palette to pin it to your Quick Palette at the top of the palette panel. Your most-used blocks stay within one click without scrolling through the full list. Right-click a pinned block to remove it.
Pixel Art Converter
Press P or click the glowing Pixel Art button in the toolbar to open the converter. Upload any image, then click and drag on the source preview to select the crop region you want. Adjust the width slider and click Apply to place the converted art on your canvas.
Note: You must drag to select a region before Apply becomes available. Use "Fill World" to auto-size the image to fill the entire 80×60 canvas.
Import & Export
Use the Export button in the toolbar to download your layout as a JSON file. To resume work on it, use Import. You can also share layout files with friends — they just import the JSON on their end.
Decay Tracker Guide
In Pixel Worlds, every world is protected by a lock. If that lock isn't renewed before it expires, the world enters a decay state — any other player can claim it by placing a new lock. The Decay Tracker helps you stay on top of all your worlds so you never lose one.
What is World Decay?
When you place a World Lock or Double World Lock in your world, it protects the world for a set period — roughly 30 days for a World Lock and 60 days for a Double World Lock. If you don't re-lock the world before the timer runs out, the lock expires.
An expired world lock doesn't immediately delete the world — it just means anyone can enter and place their own lock, effectively taking ownership. All your blocks and items remain, but the new owner controls the world.
Adding Your Worlds
Click the + New World button, enter your world name, and set the expiry date — this is the date when your current lock runs out. The tracker saves everything locally in your browser, so your data persists between sessions without needing an account.
Tip: Add all your worlds at once and set reminder dates a few days before actual expiry — gives you a safety buffer.
Color-Coded Status
Green — More than 7 days remaining. No immediate action needed.
Yellow — 3 to 7 days remaining. Plan to visit soon and renew your lock.
Red — Less than 3 days remaining. Renew immediately — this world is at risk.
The badge counter on the Decay Tracker nav button shows how many of your worlds are in critical (red) status.
Tips
Check the tracker after every game session to stay aware of upcoming expirations.
Set the expiry date a few days early as a personal reminder buffer.
If you have many worlds, sort by soonest expiry to prioritize.
Double World Locks (DWL) give 60 days and are more cost-effective for worlds you don't visit often.
Farm Calculator Guide
Farming is one of the primary ways to earn BC (Byte Coins) in Pixel Worlds. The Farm Calculator estimates your earnings for any setup — seed type, number of blocks, harvest frequency, and booster multiplier.
How BC/Hour Works
The calculator multiplies your seed value (BC earned per harvested block) by your block count and booster, then divides by the harvest interval to get BC per hour. It also shows earnings per harvest, per day (assuming 3 harvests), and per week.
For example: 200 Dragon Seed blocks (8 BC each) with no booster, harvested every 8 hours = 1,600 BC per harvest, or 200 BC/hour.
Lava Rock (~1.5 BC/block) — Starter-friendly, lower returns.
Note: Seed values are estimates based on common PWE prices and may fluctuate. Always check current exchange rates in-game.
XP Calculator
The second calculator estimates how long it takes to reach a target level. Enter your current level, target level, and your expected XP per hour. The calculator uses the standard Pixel Worlds XP formula to compute the total XP gap and time needed.
Tips
A 2× booster effectively doubles all earnings — use one if you can afford it.
More blocks = more BC per harvest cycle, but also more upfront seed cost.
The "BC Per Day ×3" figure assumes 3 harvests per day — realistic for active players.
Time your harvests to when you're online — letting crops sit unharvested doesn't earn more.
Recipes Guide
Pixel Worlds uses a mechanic called splicing to create new items. Place two seeds in adjacent seed slots in your world. After a growth period, a new combined seed grows. Harvest it to get the spliced item.
How Splicing Works
Every recipe has exactly two parent seeds. When those two parent seeds are planted side-by-side, there's a chance to splice and produce the result seed instead of the normal harvest. Higher-tier recipes require previously-spliced items as parents, meaning you need to build a crafting chain step by step.
Grow times range from under 1 minute for basic combinations up to several minutes for complex chains. Items marked Farmable produce BC when harvested — these are the most valuable for income.
Reading Recipe Cards
The item name and image are shown on the card.
Parent seeds (the two ingredients) are listed below the name.
Grow time tells you how long to wait after planting.
The tier badge (T1–T6) shows how many crafting steps are needed from base seeds.
The green Farmable badge means this item gives BC on harvest.
Search & Filter
Use the search bar to find any item by name. The category buttons let you filter by tier (T1 through T6), show only Farmable items, or view your Saved starred recipes. Tier 1 recipes use two base shop seeds; higher tiers chain multiple splices.
Crafting Map
Click any recipe card to open the full Crafting Map. This shows the complete ingredient tree — every intermediate step needed to produce the final result, traced back to base seeds (shown in green). Use this to plan complex crafting projects and estimate ingredient quantities.
Tip: Star important recipes with the ⭐ button for quick access in the Saved filter. Great for items you craft regularly.
Event Guide
Pixel Worlds runs seasonal and holiday events throughout the year. Each event has a task list — completing tasks earns event tokens, which you exchange for exclusive limited-time items at the event store.
Task Types
Daily tasks — Reset every day at midnight UTC. Complete these every day to maximize your token income over the event period.
Weekly tasks — Reset once per week. These typically require more effort but give significantly larger token rewards.
One-time tasks — Complete once per event. Always prioritize these at the start — they give the biggest single reward and are easy to miss.
Maximizing Rewards
Complete one-time tasks immediately when the event launches. Then establish a daily routine to knock out the daily tasks — even spending 10–15 minutes per day adds up significantly over a 2–4 week event.
Focus on tasks that match how you already play. If you mine regularly, mining tasks are essentially free tokens. Don't force yourself through tasks that require a completely different playstyle unless the reward is worth it.
Tip: Some events have a "play every day" bonus — simply logging in counts. Don't skip days even if you can't do all the tasks.
Reading the Event Guide
Each task entry shows the task name, the action required, and the token reward. Tasks are grouped by type. The event guide also notes which items from the token shop are generally considered the best value — usually limited cosmetics that won't return in future events.
Tips
Event items spike in value near the event end as supply runs out — sell excess tokens then if trading.
Guild members often coordinate on efficient task completion strategies.
Check task requirements before spending BC — some tasks need specific item types or actions.
Event worlds (WORLDNAME + EVENT) often have community gathering spots with tips.
