Let's make building easier

Tessera was built with the limitations of Minecraft in mind, If felt extremely limiting to only build one block at a time, so I decided to fix that.

Tessera comes with a variety of building tools to significantly speed up building. Use the boundary tools, copy/paste, repaint and many more to make building as easy as possible!

Multiplayer

With LAN multiplayer, you can play with others too

Host a world for others to play or join one hosted by someone else. Anyone on your local network can play and build in your world!
