The menu, also referred to as the main menu or the world menu is the menu that allows players to join different worlds, including servers. The menu received its most drastic redesigns in version 1.3 and version 1.5, with the introduction of servers and cloud servers respectively.

Currently, the menu lists all worlds played on, both single player and servers, in a sliding list. The two right-most options allow players to join a world and create a world.

Single-player worlds have two button when viewed, Options and Play. Play loads the world, while Options allows the world to be deleted, renamed, or to host that world using Game Center and Local Network on iOS devices.

Multiplayer worlds have two buttons when viewed, Options and Join. Join joins the world, while Options allows players to forget the world, removing it from the menu, change their avatar picture, and invite others to the world.

Join World

Main article: Multiplayer

Under Join World, two options are initially presented: Advanced and Join Random World. Join Random World joins a random public cloud server. Advanced contains additional options to join a world: Game Center (iOS only), Local Network (iOS only), Online IP/Port, and Search. Search allows players to search for cloud servers by owner or server name, sorted in descending order of number of players.

Create World

Create World allows players to create a single player world or cloud server. Single player worlds can only be named during creation. Cloud servers require a name, world size, privacy settings, and initial world credit to be set prior to creation.
