Basic Climbing Guide

Getting Started with Climbing

Place buttons and framed blocks on vertical surfaces to create a climbing route. Jump toward a hold to latch on and begin your ascent. Different button types behave differently—stone buttons restore stamina when you rest on them, making them ideal recovery points. Crimson buttons require you to press jump to secure a grip. Polished blackstone buttons crumble after three seconds, forcing quick decisions. Warped and bamboo buttons drain stamina, so move through them quickly.

Watch your stamina meter constantly and plan your route between safe resting holds. Use specialized blocks to overcome obstacles: kick off red sandstone in item frames for horizontal boosts across gaps, and navigate around packed ice sections that slide you downward. Master your timing and movement to reach the summit.
