How to make The Forge in Roblox! [Part 1: Mining] (Roblox Studio Scripting Tutorial 2026)

Yo, what's going on? Today's video I got

how to make the forge um Roblox. Uh this

is part one in the series and stuff

stuff like that. Sorry again guys for

the time in between videos. Got a wisdom

teeth for move a week or two ago. So had

to recover had to recover from that.

Couldn't really talk. But yeah, um happy

new year to everybody. So hope

everybody's having a great 2026 so far

as you guys already know or if you're

new around here. As long as you show the

series love and support and it continues

to receive love and support, I will

continue. keep series going. If not, I

would not continue the series. It's that

simple. But yeah, I've heard a lot about

the forge. People wanted me to make a

video on it. So, this is part one. Um,

seems a pretty cool game. Pretty chill

RPG and stuff like that. Simple

mechanics. So, yeah, let's go and get

straight into it. Okay, so for the first

video, I'm just going to cover basics.

Just making a mining system. So, a few

things I do already have pre-made. Um,

first things first, let's just let's

just make a rock. Let's start off very

simple, right? Let's make a rock. So,

what I'm going to do is I'm going to uh

go go up here to the top, click right

here. I'm going to click spear. We're

just going to make a very basic rock.

Okay. So, for anyone who's new here, I'm

just a scriptor, not a modeler, not a

builder, none of that. So, every all

demonstrations will be very simple, I

should say. So, we're just going to make

it black. Um material just, you know,

we're making a rock. So, make material

rock, right? Um

and then you want to make sure it's

anchored, right? And then you could just

go ahead and just name it rock. Right?

Then we're going to need to add three

things. We're going to need to insert

three things into it. So first we're

going to need a number value. This is

going to be the health. Right? So number

value, rename it to be health. Now I'm

pretty sure as you guys can tell um when

a player tries to mine said rock and

stuff, it's going to slowly chip away at

the health until it reaches zero. So you

can set this to whatever you want it to

be. I'm just going to set it to be uh

15, right? It's completely up to you

guys for whatever number you want it to

be. Then we're going to insert a bool

value, right? And then we're going to

set we're going to call this is minable.

And then make sure it is set to true,

right? Cuz I'm I'm guessing there will

probably be objects that are um maybe

that might have like a health that might

have like a health value that may not um

that may not be minable. So just make

sure it's set to true, bull value. And

then obviously if it's set to true, then

that means players can mine it. And then

for the last thing, we need a hit box,

right? So, let's insert a part into the

rock, right? And then we're just going

to design a little hitbox. So, you can

set this transparency to 0.5 for now,

right? Um, this is what's going to

detect when the player is making contact

with it. Um, now, keep in mind, it's not

going to be the player's pickaxe. It's

going to be the player's body. So, you

just want this to be So, you want this

to be around it, or well, the player's

hitbox, I should say. Not the player's

body, the hitbox. So, you just want it

to be kind of around it. So something

like so yeah something like that right

but it doesn't have to be exactly like

mine can be however you guys want it to

be and then what you guys can do is call

this object pit box right few important

properties disable can't collide make

sure it's anchored and then set

transparency to be one and then just

like that we are done with our rock

right then we're going to need a remote

event to communicate between the server

and the client so head on over to

replicated storage click the plus icon

insert a remote event rename this remote

event to be core event Right. Then from

there, um, let's go ahead and let's work

on our hot bar. As you guys know,

there's a custom hot bar where you can

equip like your axe, um, any weapons you

have, stuff like that. So, let's head on

over to starter GUI. Hit the plus icon.

Screen GUI. Um, rename this to be core

GUI. Disable reset on spawn. Then, what

you want to do is you want to insert a

frame. This is going to be our hot bar

frame, right? I'm going to drag this

down to the bottom middle. And then I'm

going to set the size to be like 500 by

100, something like that. Then just have

it in the middle. Right. Boom. Then I'm

going to insert a UI grid layout into

it. And then you guys can set this to

whatever you want it to be, but what I

chose to go with was 8, 0. And then for

the cell size, um, I went with 80 by 80.

So boom. Right. So then now it'll

automatically size and position

everything you um, insert into it. So

then hot bar frame. You can set this

background transparency to be one. Then

you can insert a text button. And then

we only need one for for the first part

of the series um first video. So I'll

rename this to be pickaxe

text button. Right? This should be for

our pickaxe so players can equip and

equip their pickaxe. Right.

Going to make the background color nice

black. Set the background transparency

to be like 0.5.

Um, and then from there

you can clear out the text.

And then, um, this is Well, you know

what? Just do it anyway. So, then we're

going to insert a UI corner, right?

Insert a UI corner into it, right? Then

from there, we're going to go ahead and

insert a text. Well, we're going to need

two, but for now, we'll just do this

one. We're going to insert a text label,

right? And then we could call this

number text label, right? So this just

going to be the number at the top. This

is going to be the first item in our um

what is this code again? Yeah, hot bar.

Um so we're just going to set the text

to be one. So scale text. Text color

will be white. Text stroke color will be

black. And text stroke transparency will

be set to zero. And then obviously we

just need this to be a lot smaller. So

let's try like 20 by 20. Yep. 20 by 20.

Just like that. And it's in the corner.

Perfect. Okay. Then we will set the

background transparency to be one. And

then boom. Yep. Perfect. And then now we

just need a name text level. So we will

um I'll just duplicate this. Control

plus. So select it. Control + D or just

home and then duplicate at the top left.

We'll drag this down to the bottom

middle. So align it at the middle. If I

can get it right. What is the

Okay. So we'll do that. And then you you

just want to re um we just rename this

to be name text label, right? And then

here you're going to put whatever the

default pickaxe is in your game. I'm

just going to call mine rusty axe, but

it's up to you guys. I'm going to call

mine rusty axe. And then I just need to

make this wider. So like 100.

And let's see. No, that's too wide.

80.

to go up a little bit

or no I think that's fine. Yeah. And

then something like that. Okay. All

right. And then we are done with the UI.

Okay. Perfect.

So from here um the next thing let's

head on over to server storage. As you

guys can see I have a rusty axe already.

Drag this over to workspace to show you

guys if it if it will let me.

What the?

Okay, there we go. All right, so as you

guys can see, we have an axe. Okay, so

it's guys, it's really not that it's

really not that hard. Just literally go

to the toolbox, search for an axe if you

don't have an axe model, and then just

turn it into a tool. It's not that it's

just not difficult. Or just search up a

an axe model or pickaxe model. It

doesn't really matter. All All you

literally have to do is just plus icon

tool, name it whatever. Make sure it has

a handle. This is the This is just

literally This is just a regular part.

That's all this is. This is just a

regular part. This is where the player's

hand is going to be. So, it has to be

named handle and it has to be has to

literally named handle and inside of the

the tool, right? And then the P and then

this part is just the actual model

itself. This is just like a 3D mesh. So,

yeah, it's very simple. Um once you have

that, again, make sure the names match.

See how see how the names match? So,

once you do that, you're going to head

on over to um server storage because

obviously we want to store all this

stuff properly, right? So inside of

server storage plus icon, insert a

folder. Rename this folder to be items.

Then insert a folder into that folder.

And then you can just name this folder

axis. And then you can put your rusty

axe in there. Whatever your starter or

default ax is in your game. So we'll

just have that there. Um,

and then I do have two sounds. Again, I

got them from the toolbox. Just search

axe sounds. One's hit, one's swing. So

one is when you, you know, just swing

the the pickaxe. Otherwise, when you

actually hit something, you literally

just go literally go to the toolbox, go

to sounds, search back ax, and then just

um click them and then just make sure

they're in they're inside of sound

service. That simple. Okay, so open up

starter player. Now, let's get to the

scripting. So, starter player scripts

plus icon local script. Rename the

script to be core script in parenthesis

put local. We'll be here for just a few

minutes. So, let's create a few

variables. First, we're going to create

a variable for the user input service.

We're going to say local UIS is equal to

game get service includation marks user

input service. Then we're going to

create a variable for our remote event.

So core event is equal to gamerelicated

storage way for child core events. Then

we're going to create a variable for our

local player. So say player is equal to

game.local

player. Then we're going to set up our

first function. So core event onclient

event connect function in parenthesis

put event type. So it'll be the specific

event. Then press enter. Then we'll say

if event type is equal to in quotation

marks disable backpack. Keep in mind we

have a custom um backpack hot bar or hot

bar whatever you want to call it. So we

don't need the default Roblox enabled.

So enter. Then we will simply then we'll

simply just say local starty. It's equal

to game.st starter GUI colon set core

GUI enables. Then you just say nm.coregy

core GUI type backpack, false, right?

And then on to our next function. So,

first we'll create a variable be a

boolean. So, axe equipped is equal to

false. This is what we'll use to check

if whether or not the axe is currently

equipped. So, that we know if the

player's um either trying to equip the

axe or they're trying to unequip the axe

when they press the one key. So we'll

say UIS to input began connect function

in parenthesis put input comma processed

enter and we'll say if input do user

input type is equal to nm user input

type keyboard and not process which

pretty much just means the player is not

typing in chat when they press the key

enter. Then you'll say if input keycode

is equal to nm.keycode this can be

whatever you want it to be. I'm just

going to set mine to one enter. Then

you'll say if axe equipped, which is

just the same as saying if axe equipped

is equal to true, which means the you

know players ax is currently equipped.

Enter. Then you're going to say core

events fire server inclution marks

unequip

unequip. Wait, unequipped. Yeah, no, I

spelled that right. Unequip axe, right?

And then axe equipped will be set to

false. And then we'll just do the vice

versa. else if not axe equipped then

core events fire server equip

axe right and then you'll say axe

equipped is equal to true and then boom

it's just that simple now we can move on

to the server script all right let me

just make sure everything okay we are

good okay so then heading over to server

script service one last thing that I

already have done is an animation again

I got this from the toolbox I get

literally everything from the toolbox

except for the script that's literally

just it but yeah So just search up uh

like pickaxe animations and stuff like

that and then just find you an animation

and then so you just simply click right

here animation. Click that rename it.

Throw your animation ID in there. You

can't use my animation ID. It literally

will not work. You have to your own

animation ID. So then um click the plus

icon server script service. Insert a

script and then just drag your animation

inside of the script. All right. So

we'll rename the script to be core

script and parenthesis put server.

Right? We will delete print hello world

and then we will create a couple

variables. First create a variable for

the sound service. We say local

ss is equal to game get service. Sound

service for our sound effects. Remember

down here. Then for our next variable we

will we will create a variable for our

remote event. Core event is equal to

game. Replicated storage for child core

event. Then we'll create a variable for

our items folder. So items folder is

equal to games server storage for child

items. Then we'll go ahead and set up

our function. So gameplayers player

added connect function in parenthesis

put pl which is just short for the

player who joined the game. Um and then

we're going to create two variables.

First in or inventory folder, right?

This is going to this is a folder that's

going to keep track of um the the so

first the ores the player currently has

as well as the names of or not the name

the amount of them but also the names as

well. So or inventory it's equal to

instance new it's going to be a folder

or inventory.name is equal to quotation

marks or inventory.

Then or inventory.parent is equal to

player. Then we're going to create a

variable called equipped ax. So we know

like what um axe the player currently

has equipped or

Yeah. Yeah. Cuz it's Yeah. It's called

axe. So pickaxe axe. We'll just we'll

just call it that. Yeah. So we'll just

say equipped axe is equal to instance

new. This should be a string value,

right? Equipped axe.name is equal to

equipped axe. And then equipped axe

value should be rusty.

Remember, you want your names to be

consistent. So, whatever you name this

is what it should be here. So, rusty

axe,

right? Then equipped axe.

Is equal to player,

right? And then [clears throat] you're

going to set up a function player. Added

connect function in parenthesis put

character enter. And then we're going to

disable the backpack. So, go every time.

Make sure it's fire client singular.

We're going to disable the backpack each

time. player, comma, disable backpack.

After that, we're going to create a

hitbox for the player so that they're

able to, you know, be able to uh mine

things in combat and as well as I I

don't know. I don't think you can fight

other players, but I know you can fight

NPCs. So, we're going to create a

hitbox. So,

hitbox equal to instance new incl.

And then you're going to say hitbox.name

is equal to incl.

You're going to say hitbox.ed anchored

is set to false.

Hitbox can collide is set to false.

Hitbox.mmassless

is equal to true.

Hitbox.transparency is equal to 1.

Hitbox size is equal to vector 3 new. In

parentheses, put five, 6, 2.5.

Hitbox color is equal to color 3 new.

I'm going to make mine red, but it's up

to you guys. one comma 0 comma 0. Right?

Just going to be for testing purposes.

And then you're going to say hitbox

pivot 2 character humanoid root part C

frame. Then you're going to um weld it.

So we need to create a weld weld

constraint. So weld constraint is equal

to instance new. Weld constraint. Welds

constraint.Aart

zero is equal to hitbox. And wells

constraint.part part one is equal to

character dot humanoid road part. So now

they're welded together. Then

hitbox.parent

is equal to hitbox. And then boom, we

are done with the first function.

Now on to the um equipment equip and

unequip ax as well as being able to mine

things with with set ax. So we're going

to say core events on server events

connect function in parentheses put pl

for the player then comma event type

enter create a variable for the player's

character. So character is equal to

player character right then you're going

to say if event type is equal to

quotation marks equip ax enter

then you're going to say you're going to

create a variable for set x assuming we

can find it of course. So we're going to

see item folders.axes

find first child player.quipped

axe dot value. So if we can find set ax.

So if axe then you will say axe is equal

to make sure you clone it right. And

then you'll set its parent to be

player's character.

Then we'll say axe.act or I'm dot

activated which means the player just

clicked while they had the tool

equipped. connect function close

parenthesis. Press enter. Right? We're

going to play the swing. We're going to

play the swing animation. So, we're

going to say going to create before

animation track. So, it's equal to

character.humoid.animator

load animation. In parenthesis, you're

going to say script.axwing animation

at play. Right? Then you're also going

to play the sound effects. So, SS.ax

swing play. Right? You don't have to

have sound effects if you don't want to,

by the way. Um,

and then we're going to do some ray

casting. So, first let's get our start

position. So, start position

is equal to characterhumanoid

root part.h hitbox.position.

Then we're going to get our direction

which is equal to character.humoid

root part.h hitbox C frame.

V vector. Right. Then we're going to set

up our raycast parameter. So we're going

to say raycast params is equal to

raycast params new close parenthesis

raycast params filter type is equal to

nom.cast filter type.exclude and then

raycast params dot filter descendants

instances equal to special brackets. And

then you're going to say character colon

get to descendants right

and then you're going to finally create

our array. So ray is equal to workspace

ray cast start position, direction. Very

important. You need to multiply this

times something because what what's

going to happen is the ray is not going

to make it that far unless you like

multiply the direction. So I'm going to

set this to be five. You guys can mess

around with this number. The greater the

number, the further the range out. For

example, if you set this to if you set

this to be like five, then that means a

player can mine it when they're like

standing, you know, pretty close to it.

They don't have to be right up on it,

but pretty close to it. If you set it to

like 30, then that means that player

will be able to mine it from like all

the way over here. So yeah, choose a

number that worked for you. Then comma

raycast prams ray. Then from there,

we're going to use an if statement.

We're going to say if ray and

ray.instance, which means it made

contact with an object and

ray.stance.name

is equal to object hitbox, right? And I

specifically named um I wanted the part

the hitbox for the rock the rock the or

whatever you want to call it to be named

object hitbox because I'm not I don't

know I don't know if in the game you can

hurt other players. I don't know if

that's how that works. So that's why I

just wanted specifically to just be able

to just mine for now

press plus I don't know if you could

even use a pickaxe as a weapon. I don't

know if that does damage to NPCs but

anyway. So then we're going to create a

variable for our object [snorts] is

equal to ray.instance.parent parent

because remember the hitbox is a child

of our object, right? So then from there

um

you're then going to use n you're going

to say if object find first child we

need to make sure you know is when it

has this value and that is set to true.

So object is minable value is set to

true. Enter. If it is then we'll play

the sound effect.

Axe hit. So we hit something,

play will take away from its health.

Object.alth value is less than equal to

five. You can set this to whatever you

want it to be. Completely up to you

guys. Then we'll say if object health

value is less than or equal to zero,

which means it needs to be destroyed.

Then we need to we need to see if the

player already um has one of the um one

or more of the um objects inside their

or inventory or inventory. So if

player.org

inventory

find first child object.name

enter. Then all we need to do is simply

just do this player.org inventory

regular brackets. And then you're just

simply going to say object.name go on

the outside do value plus equal one

because they now have um an extra one

now or another one. However, if it's

not, we need to create the value. So if

player do or inventory

find first child object.name enter

then we're now going to create that

value. So we're going to say or is equal

to instance new. This is going to be a

number value. Right? Did not mean to do

that. Going to be a number value. You're

going to say orname is equal to

object.name.

Or do value should be one.

And then or.parent should be player.org

or inventory.

And then after you're going to skip

this. You're going to skip this end.

Is that's after? Yeah, that's Yeah,

that's after. Then you're going to

destroy the object regardless of whether

or not uh whichever one it goes. You're

going to destroy the object. And then

all right. [snorts] Then after that,

you're going to skip five ends. So very

simple. One, two, three, four, five.

Then you're going to press enter. You're

going to say else if that's how you

spell that. Else if event type is equal

to in quotation marks

unequip axe enter. Then you're going to

again create a variable for the axe is

equal to this time it's character find

first child player.equipped axe. Got to

make sure they still have it value. If

it's found then axe will be destroyed.

Very simple. All right, guys. Let's go

ahead and test to make sure everything

works. As always, if you guys want

access to any one of my scripts or

models, just simply read the description

to figure out how to gain access to

that. That goes for this video or any of

my other ones. What is that box? Oh, I'm

stupid. My bad, guys. My bad. This is

supposed to be supposed to be worlds

constraint that parent.

I've never even seen that error before.

My bad. But yeah, so just read the

description to find figure out how to

get access to that. Okay, so if I press

one, as you can see, I can equip,

unequip, equip, unequip. I'm able to

equip the axe. If I left click

box is not a valid member. I don't have

a hit box.

It's not good.

I think I think I know what it is. Hold

on. Reset my character. We're going to

be here for about 10 minutes because Oh,

okay. Never mind. And then if I have it

I think I know what it is.

No, I don't know what it is. Huh. That's

so weird. Why don't I have a hit box?

Why am I missing a hitbox?

I am so stupid. I never parented the

hitbox. My bad, guys. My bad. That's on

me. Oh, I see what I was supposed to do.

Never mind. I see what I was supposed to

do. Okay. I was supposed to do. Yeah, I

see. I see now. Okay. Right here, you're

supposed to hitbox. E equals to

character.oid

root part. Then we'll get down parent.

There we go. There we go. My bad, guys.

I forgot to parent this stuff. That's

why. That's why I had hitbox because I

was supposed to do that first but then I

got confused. Okay. Now, if I hit play

and I spelled it wrong. Fantastic. Okay.

Okay guys, make sure you didn't spell it

wrong.

Speed uppercase R. Okay. Now, let's hope

for the best.

Okay. There we go. Okay. As you guys can

see,

well, and here as well, you hear the

sound effect. Now, if I go over here,

we'll look at the rock and notice the

health, right? Boom. And you can hear

the sound as well.

Boom. Boom. Destroyed. Right. Then if I

go over here, my ore inventory, you'll

see I have one rock. So yeah, guys, this

is part one to how to make the forge. If

the series does well, I'll continue with

more videos. As long as the series gets

love and support, I will continue with

more and more videos and stuff. Let me

know if any bugs you guys find, anything

else you want to see, even if it's not

related to the series and stuff. Again,

sorry for the delay of the videos. I had

my wisdom teeth from moved not too long

ago. Hope everybody's having a great

2026 so far, and I hope you guys enjoyed

the video. If you did, definitely leave

a like and subscribe and I'll see you

guys in the next video.
