Infinite Craft harbors the ultimate opportunity for players to unleash their creativity, with its seemingly endless pool of blocks to grow. While you do indeed start with just four element blocks initially, including Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, you can take these and expand your pool of words as you please by merging the original few in various ways. Considering all of the possibilities, you may quickly find yourself overwhelmed. This rings especially true if you're relatively new to the unique browser game or are used to playing through more linear experiences.
It's not often that you come across a game dependent entirely on an AI's choice of results from word equations, after all. Despite there being just four starter element blocks to choose from, Infinite Craft doesn't guide you when you first play nor does it explain how the word generation works. You are thrown into the depths of its creative chaos without so much as a mission or objective to work toward.
If you find yourself lost amid Infinite Craft's sea of possible block combinations, don't worry. We've all been there. To try and help you out, we've compiled a helpful guide here to give you a head start and provide some goals to aim for in-game. There are all sorts of fun ideas to try and tackle, from crafting your own name to collecting every single Pokemon block.
Infinite Craft Ideas & Goals
It's exciting to give yourself goals when playing any game, but it can be equally as daunting to actually figure out what you should be doing first before you're able to tick off any personal objectives. It's all the more challenging to take your first in-game jump when it comes to an experience like Infinite Craft, as there is no clear guidance or official tutorial to push you in the right direction. We know how hard getting started can feel, so we've gathered some of our most useful beginner tips and tricks for you to try out before establishing more concrete goals.
What to Do First in Infinite Craft
The first thing you should do when you load Infinite Craft for the first time is... anything and everything. Combine your starter element blocks with each other to get all sorts of great building blocks, including those such as Lava, Plant, and Steam, as we show in our handy table below. Once you've exhausted your starting supply of blocks, merge the new ones you've created with one another and the four base elements themselves to produce even more fresh blocks. If you keep combining blocks, you'll eventually have a large word bank to choose from.
| Item 1 | Item 2 | Result | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Earth | + | Earth | = | Mountain |
| Earth | + | Fire | = | Lava |
| Earth | + | Water | = | Plant |
| Earth | + | Wind | = | Dust |
| Fire | + | Fire | = | Volcano |
| Fire | + | Water | = | Steam |
| Fire | + | Wind | = | Smoke |
| Water | + | Water | = | Lake |
| Wind | + | Wind | = | Tornado |
You'll also be able to easily make more logical decisions when you have more blocks available, as the path to most words is intuitive. Gather as many general blocks as you can and go from there. For instance, if you're looking to craft a video game-related term such as a console name or an iconic title, you can do so in far fewer steps with a block like Video Game itself handy. Similarly, having Planet handy opens up routes to more interstellar terms such as specific celestial bodies or components of the solar system. Our table below offers a few such general blocks to pursue as well as their corresponding equations.
| Item 1 | Item 2 | Result | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zoo | + | Life | = | Animal |
| America | + | Japan | = | Anime |
| Paper | + | Paper | = | Book |
| Angel | + | Devil | = | Human |
| Meme | + | Human | = | Internet |
| Internet | + | Swamp | = | Meme |
| Bjork | + | Iceland | = | Music |
| Count | + | Count | = | Number |
| Madden | + | Football | = | Video Game |
Other good general blocks to have under your belt include cities, continent names, forms of media, genres, specific species, and other such group terms. You can check out our in-depth guide covering all recipes and combinations available for more key blocks to master. Now that you know various starter combos and how to obtain some of the most versatile blocks though, you may know what direction you want to take in-game whether that be crafting your favorite celebrities or trying to get as many video game titles as possible. If you don't know where to go from here, read on below.
What to Do Next in Infinite Craft
Are you an established Infinite Craft fan now but you feel like you've exhausted your creativity? With such a boundless game, it can be difficult to choose what to do without a bit of guidance, even if you're a hardened expert. We've put together a few goals to work toward here, many of which may further spark your creativity and inspire future ideas. Some of these are easier to achieve than others, but most will keep you occupied with clear goals for a solid amount of time.
Whether you're a new player or a dedicated regular, you probably haven't tried to make your name in-game yet. It took me 20+ steps personally to make "Anna," but I eventually did it and it still stands as one of my most memorable Infinite Craft accomplishments. When I first got into the browser game, I never really considered that I could actually even do so. It feels obvious that you can come up with famous people, but it seems far less so that you can also make your own name.
Another favorite goal of mine is more out-of-this-world and has to do with interstellar blocks rather than those containing terms about anything earth-side. It's also a fairly easy one to aim for after gathering a good pool of blocks in the beginning. The goal is to craft the entire solar system, which you can do soon after getting a Planet block from a combination of Dust and Earth. Learning how to make every planet in Infinite Craft may not seem like an easy feat, but it's actually relatively simple and genuinely relaxing.
If you want to start with a goal that's closer to home so to speak, then you can have a go at creating as many countries as you can before branching out to space. Once you figure out how to make Country in Infinite Craft, going for more specific nations becomes much easier, too. You can combine the Country block with other words that remind you of a place to try and get it as a new block, or use more general blocks such as Continent to do the same. Give yourself a more narrowed-down goal for an even clearer objective, like "make every country in Europe" or "obtain every Asian nation as a block."
Another idea to help ignite your creativity, one especially good for you if you're a fan of gaming in general, is to try and make every first-generation Pokemon. There are a whopping 151 little pocket monsters to aim for if you're going for this goal, which means that it's a great one if you're looking for an objective that will keep you occupied for longer. After you learn how to make Pokemon in Infinite Craft, you'll be well on your way to catching them all.
If you want another game-related goal to trek toward, why not try your hand at crafting every Blizzard game possible? From shooters like Overwatch to beloved MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft, there are various Blizzard Entertainment-developed game names to try and create in Infinite Craft. In that same vein, you can also try to get every title from another developer. For instance, you can attempt to make every Nintendo game. After all, Pokemon isn't the only Nintendo name available to craft in the browser game. Try Animal Crossing or perhaps Mario instead.
While making your own name in-game is a rewarding challenge in itself, you may also want to make all of the celebrities you love to give yourself a bigger pool of recognizable names as blocks. You can create all sorts of famous names in Infinite Craft, from pop stars like Taylor Swift to actors such as Keanu Reeves. Similarly, you can also try to make your favorite movies and TV shows and build up a word bank including both films as well as their respective cast members.
These encompass just a handful of the possible Infinite Craft ideas and goals that one can strive toward. If you've checked off most of our suggestions here thus far, you can always continue combining words that seem to fit well together (or alternatively, those that don't for even more randomized chaos). Before you go and fully unbridle your creativity, here are just a few more possible objectives from our end to try and make in-game.
