Kick
Left-click near the ball. Look at the ground for a soft touch along the grass; raise your head for more power and height.

Player guide
Controls, game modes, levels and ranked: everything you need for your first matches.
Getting started
Join the server
GoalBloc runs on Minecraft Java Edition 26.3, on computer, with no mod to install. Add the address in Multiplayer, then join.
Controls
One ball, a few gestures
No item to hold: everything is done with the mouse and your view, like a real kick.
Chip
Right-click near the ball: it goes up steeply, to lob a keeper or clear a defender, with the same power as a kick.
Curl
Flick the mouse sideways as you click: the ball curls the way your view turns. The harder the kick, the more it curls.
Deflect and control
Click a ball in the air to deflect it, with your foot or your head. Click low just as it lands to control it and play on.
The F key
Against the bots, F asks a teammate for the pass. At the training centre, F restarts the drill.
Game modes
Where to play
Casual and Ranked
Join a queue and play against other players. Ranked opens at level 5 and your rank follows your results; casual keeps its own hidden rating, so matches stay balanced.
Versus bots
Pick the format, the level (Amateur, Semi-pro, Pro, Expert), the match length and your position. With Club+, 11v11 against Expert bots: corners, throw-ins, offside and two halves.
Training centre
Shooting, passing, dribbling, goalkeeping, headers, teamwork, attack and defense, each at three levels. Every drill has medals to win and keeps your personal best.
Custom games
Create your own game with your friends from level 10, or with Club+. Basketball and hockey games are created with Club+, and everyone can play them.
Build zone
Take a free plot around a pitch and build your stadium in creative mode, with tools to fill, copy and undo. Stadium contests let everyone rate each one.
First visit
The beginner demo
On your first visit, a guided demo with a Coach teaches you the controls and the rules, step by step. Finish it to unlock the queues and the other modes. It gives 100 XP the first time.
You can redo it whenever you like with /fb tutorial.
Progress
Level and XP
Casual and ranked matches, the bots, the training centre and the demo give XP towards your footballer level, which is never reset; custom games (basketball and hockey included) and 11v11 give none. A casual or ranked match gives 100 XP, 50 more for a win, plus a little for your goals and assists. Matches against bots and training series give XP too, a bit less each time you repeat the same one on the same day.
Ranked opens at level 5, about an evening of play. The same XP also moves your season pass forward.
Ranked
Positions in ranked
In ranked 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4, pick a main position and a backup one before joining the queue, or “Any”. Teams are drawn with the positions, and yours is shown before your name during the match. 1v1 has no position.
Leaving a match
Disconnections, forfeits and departures
- A disconnection keeps your place: come back and you are on the pitch again. In ranked, the match pauses for 20 seconds, once per team.
/fb leaveduring a match is final: it asks first, then counts as a loss.- In casual 2v2 to 4v4, a bot can take the place of a player who leaves, and gives it back if they reconnect.
/ffvotes to forfeit for your team, after 2 minutes of play.- Leaving ranked matches again and again is desertion: see the rules.
