Ultimate Build
Created by B0BBA, Ultimate Build is a sandbox building game that was created in December 2008. Considered to be one of the biggest building games of its time, Ultimate Build gained more than 6 million visits on ROBLOX over the course of its lifetime. Around early 2015, the place was made uncopylocked[1] — but on June 3rd 2018, the game was made both private and copylocked.[2]
Ultimate Build
Gameplay
The essential gameplay of Ultimate Build is using the tools and bricks given to create anything to the player's heart's content. But typically this includes building rockets, rides, structures, and contraptions of horrifying qualities.
Map
The map consists of three large pieces of land, and an ocean that surrounds it. On release, spawn included five spawn points and (eventually) four pieces of text that listed the available commands. But in mid 2009, the spawn would be moved below and away from its original position. This new place, the spawn room, instructed players to touch any wall in the room to be teleported to the build area's "Spawn Temple."
VIP
On release, Ultimate Build provided a VIP T-shirt for players to buy. Originally, VIP only provided explosives and a hidden observation deck. But shortly after release,[5] an independent VIP island was created that allowed users to build independently from the rest of the server. However, nothing stopped other players from just building or floating to the area. The VIP teleport would be moved to the spawn room following its creation, removing the small red-door VIP room.
The new VIP island also gave users three givers: A "Prototype Tool" which would be a predecessor to B0BBA's eventual addition of ROBLOX's Classic Tool on Ultimate Build in late 2011; A "Shield Giver" which was unfinished; and "VIP Tools"

Tools
Certain tools were added and or moved during the course of Ultimate Build's history. Around 2011, ROBLOX updates would start to break certain tools — which would lead to B0BBA putting in ROBLOX's Classic Tool in late 2011. This included a Material, Color, and Surface picker alongside a Grab and Resize tool.
VIP Tools: CanCollide, Face, Fly, Lock, Reflectance, Speed, Superjump, Teleport, and VIP Transparency
The normal transparency tool can only use values 0 to 0.5, as the entire range is a VIP only feature.

Trivia
-
The Shield is missing a vital script called "Shield." When fixed, the giver attaches a block that looks like a Hover, and is clickable, on the player's back.
