Launcher
BrickHub Launcher
Central hub for login, installation, updates and game launch. The launcher checks versions, downloads files and can repair damaged installations.
Includes: token login, version check, download system and repair tool.
Overview
Features & modules
BrickHub combines launcher, online backend, Build Mode, multiplayer and future shooter matches into an independent platform with a clear structure and original style.
Build Mode
Map editor & blocks
Players can create, edit and save custom maps using blocks. Size, height, material and environment form the basis for custom arenas.
Status: core functions in Alpha.
Multiplayer
Build together
Build Mode changes are synchronized between players. Placed and removed blocks appear in the same world state for connected clients.
Focus: stable synchronization and clean join behavior.
Save/Load
Save, load & snapshot
Maps can be saved and loaded later. Joining players receive the current state through a snapshot system.
Important for joining, map persistence and later matches.
Energy
Batteries & charging station
BrickHub includes a battery system with its own UI. Batteries can be managed, charged and used in Build Mode.
Status: currently being implemented.
Play Mode
Shooter matches on custom maps
After the Build Mode foundations, created maps will be used in Play Mode with spawns, weapons, hit detection, health, armor and respawn.
Planned: Deathmatch, team modes and private lobbies.
Backend
API & data storage
The backend manages accounts, logins, versions, player data, friends and online status. Launcher and game communicate through the BrickHub API.
Active: login, token validation, presence, friends and version endpoints.
Social
Friends & presence
Player states such as Online, AFK, In Game and Offline are managed through a heartbeat system. Friends list and social menu prepare shared play.
Goal: see friends, invite them and later join directly.
Server
Dedicated servers & rooms
BrickHub is planned around a dedicated server model with room creation, master API and separate game server processes.
Target: clean separation of client, master service and game server.
Style
Original BrickHub style
Blocks, UI, icons and assets follow a simple, clear BrickHub style with readable shapes and consistent visual language.
Goal: recognizable, lightweight and game-friendly.
Community
