Shell

Build a fitted cover over the selected faces. Hair, hats, armor, mushroom caps.

Shell builds a new piece shaped exactly like the faces you selected, floating the Thick distance above them (1 to 4 blocks). Select the top of a head and Shell it: instant hair. The shell follows curves, offsetting smoothly over a sphere’s scalp instead of staircasing. Shell sits in the top group on the Grow card:

Shell is the fourth action on the Grow card.

It’s a piece like any other

The shell arrives as its own separate piece, which is the fun part:

Not happy with the thickness? The hint says it best: “Shelled! Nudge its rings, or undo to try another thickness.”
