General informationTop ^

Metaforge can be accessed through Trove itself, it is mostly used for creating Dungeons, but it is possible to edit all sorts of blueprints and qb files in there.

While logged in, type /mf or /metaforge to see a pop up message asking you if you want to close Trove and open Metaforge. Typing /mf while already beign in metaforge would make you reload it. Only way to exit metaforge and return to real Trove would be to Exit the game and launch it again. For the account entering metaforge counts as logging off.

Upon entering, you spawn as a Knight class in the middle of completely flat white square 250 by 250 voxels with the Building Inventory filled with items required for Dungeons.

It is not possible to switch a class or use skills in Metaforge, but instead the knight has 100 jumps and some very useful commands and hotkeys to work with.

While in Metaforge, one can use F9 to switch to Flight mode, F10 grants free camera movement.

To work on something in Metaforge you can either load a blueprint it, or start creating something right away.

If you start on blank, you would need to /save Name_of_your_creation your progress, that would create a blueptint named Name_of_your_creation in your Games\Trove\Live folder, unless you specify a full path to the file.

If you wish to work on a blueprint or qb that already has something in it, you would need to load it in first. To do so you can simply drag that file from the folder into the Metaforge, or you can type a chat command /load Blueprint_Name , but it must be located in Games\Trove\Live folder to load in unless you specify a full path to the file. Dragging in works from any location.

To save changes to blueprint or qb you are currently working on type /save.

Block placing and removing works exactly same as Build Mode in Trove does. But in Metaforge you can also /floodfill a cluster of same colored blocks with an item you have active on your hotbar and /replaceblock with same effect but only for one exact block you are pointing at.

Metaforge Command listTop ^

To sum it up:

Following commands do work inside of metaforge but better used outside of it because of default Knight class in Metaforge.

On top of that, you can use a special /wadd command to add anything to your inventory. For example, typing /wadd placeable/deco/easel_01 would add 1000 of Artsy Easel decorations to your building inventory. You can find paths to items on top of their personal pages on Trovesaurus.

Those added items would only exist in Metaforge, exiting or restarting it will clear the inventory back to default items. It is also possible to drag .prefab files from Extracted client folders to Metaforge, that would have same effect as /wadd but could be more time-saving.
