The items listed in this section are for the construction of buildings, or whatever else your imagination can conjure. The blocks and other items listed here come from both gathering and building. Provided you have a powerful enough weapon, you can tear down walls of the shelters and ruins found in each chapter and claim them as your own.
Blocks You Must Gather
The creation of many types of blocks is beyond the ability of even the greatest Builder. What can’t be built must be knocked loose of its environment before you can use it. Some materials are more durable than others and require powerful weapons (or cannons, or wrecking balls) before you can add them to your inventory.

Mineral Veins
Mineral veins are found throughout Alefgard, but only in Free Play Mode can you use them as building material. Once you create the Hammer of the Builder, use it to knock veins (and basalt) loose instead of cracking them open to get the ore from inside. When it comes to building, veins are the same as any other block, except they’re a bit flashier.

Temporary Block Modifiers
Temporary block modifiers change a single layer of earth blocks in a 5x5 area. The change will not affect earth that has been raked, but it will continue to cover earth blocks even if something is set on top of them. These are temporary modifiers because the growth vanishes if the block is knocked loose from its position.

permanent block modifiers
Unlike temporary modifiers, which only change the look of blocks, earth blocks hit with permanent block modifiers become an entirely new block. Once changed, there’s no going back to earth blocks, no matter how many times you hit the block.
Flooring modifiers change a single layer of earth blocks. The effect spreads out in a 5x5 shape and goes under walls. Cladding modifies contiguous blocks set on or above the floor. Where flooring is limited to a flat 5x5 square, cladding will go up and down and even around corners.
