Community:Sketchu Spring
Sketchu Spring ist eine Nur-PC-world, erstellt von Sketchu. Sie ist eine expansive Welt, die einige Orte, versteckte Geheimnisse und Geschichte bezüglich der Umgebung dieser beinhaltet. Sketchu Spring wurde Ende 2018 veröffentlicht.
Standorte
Sketchu Spring findet primär in einer massiven Wüste statt, die sich auf einem Kontinent namens "West Corobi"[1] befindet. Der Horizont wird verdeckt durch ständige Sandstürme.
Karte
Die folgenden Inhalte zeigen die Karte komplett mit Wahrzeichen und allem. Wenn du die Welt selbst erkunden möchtest, erweitere mit Vorsicht.
Die Quelle
Die Titularquelle am Spawn.
Die Dock direkt außerhalb der Quelle, an der Spieler als erstes spawnen.
Der Spawn-Standort, ein kleines Dorf von Mynok, einer Spezies bestehend aus oval-geformten Köpfen, die größer als deren Körper sind. Einige Mynok-Avatare, die eine Vielzahl an verschiedenen Outfits und Aussehen beinhalten, können im größten Gebäude gefunden werden.
Rechts vom Spawn befindet sich ein Spawner, der fliegende, samenähnliche Fahrzeuge spawnt, die dazu genutzt werden können, in der Welt umherzufliegen. Der lilafarbene Musik-Orb kann typischerweise unterhalb der hölzernen Plattform gefunden werden.
Das Portal
Das Portal ist ein Ort innerhalb der Quelle und befindet sich hinter einer großen Felsformation. Im Portal gibt es ein rundes Monument mit einem Loch für Portale, davor befindet sich ein Tastenfeld mit verschiedenen, Nummern repräsentierenden, Symbolen. An der Seite gibt es eine Steintafel, auf denen Codes eingemeißelt sind, die zu verschiedenen Orten der Karte führen, und einen Chiffrierschlüssel, der dazu benutzt werden kann, die Codes auf das Tastenfeld zu übertragen.
Wenn Codes erfolgreich in das Tastenfeld eingetragen wurden, öffnen sich portals zu anderen VRChat-Welten.
Statueninsel
Ein abgelegenes Plateau, weit südlich vom Spawn entfernt. Hauptmerkmal ist ein Schachbrett mit großen, interagierbaren Statuen, die als Schachfiguren dienen. Der grüne Musikorb befindet sich hier, gestützt durch eine erhöhte Reihe von Felsen. Im Norden des Gebiets befindet sich eine Brücke, die zu einem der vielen Trugbilder der Insel, einer gigantischen Golemstatue, führt.
Mindaro's Schrein
Befindet sich in den dunklen Sandstürmen östlich des Spawns. Das Gebiet besteht lediglich aus dem Schrein, eine kleine Ruinenanlage mit einigen Podesten, die den Charms von Mindaro korrespondieren. Die Charms müssen auf den entsprechenden Podesten platziert werden, die den Symbolen entsprechen, die zu leuchten anfangen.
Das Wandgemälde
"Das Wandgemälde" ist eine kleine Ruine, die sich direkt südlich des Schreins von Mindaro befindet. Das einzige, was sich hier befindet, ist ein Wandgemälde, das einen unbekannten Charakter darstellt, der gegen Alabaster kämpft, dessen Hand sich nach diesem ausstreckt.
Mushroom Rocks
Found in the far northeast of spawn within a canyon is Mushroom Rocks, tall mushrooms dot the area, along with a small pond with a grassy area around it. The blue Music Orb can be found in the pond.
Imp Cliff
Far west of spawn is Imp Cliffs, taking place in the canyons of a large plateau, it's primary feature is the arena where several weapon props can be found. There is also small systems of tunnels in the walls of the plateau leading to various small rooms meant for the inhabitants. Nearby is the largest peak with an elevator leading to the top. The top reveals a large crater with a wooden dock leaning out of it.
Spike Rocks
Found north between Imp Cliff and The Spring can be found a grassy area with strange spike-like rock formations. Mysteriously, there is a question mark baked into the terrain. The orange music orb can be found here behind one of the spike formations.
Skeleton Ruins
Found southwest of spawn within the dark sandstorm, a gigantic skeleton can be found here alongside a mural depicting Alabaster and Mindaro.
The mural with Alabaster depicts the Mynoks of The Spring along with an unknown tall figure, presumably the one depicted in the mural near Mindaro's Shrine, and the Imps fighting against Alabaster, the scene below it depicts trees and plants being ripped from the ground, with the next scene after that depicting a desert, with Alabaster buried beneath. It could be assumed this implies that Alabaster, either upon death or right before death, turned the land into a desert.(Speculative)
The mural with Mindaro depicts them presenting several charms, directly hinting towards the charms needed for each pedestal at Mindaro's Shrine
Mindaro's Respite
Upon completing the shrine, a portal will open behind the pedestals leading to Mindaro's Respite, completing the shrine will make it appear for all users in the instance.
Features
Flying seeds
In multiple areas of the world, spawners can be found that spawn seed-shaped devices that when sat in, can be controlled by the interactable handle to fly across the world. When a user exits a flying seed, it will instantly despawn. Flying seeds can be used as an effective method of traversing the world as they are significantly faster than the user's walk or run speed.
They are controlled by moving the controller interactable inside the seed, holding interact will cause the seed to move in the direction the controller is pointed.
These may be difficult to control in desktop as it requires holding the controller which could potentially make it difficult to see where one is going.
Fast travel
Fast travel points can be found across the world, when interacted with, it'll unlock a diamond behind spawn on the air balloon. Unlocking a fast travel point unlocks it for all users in the instance. They are visible from the distance due to being rendered over the sandstorm. Fast travel points are not persistent and will have to be unlocked again once entering a new instance.
Due to how fast travel points work, a desktop user may not hold an interactable object and use the fast travel point at the same time. Making it difficult to take objects found in the world back to spawn and to other areas.
There are a total of 5 fast travel points that can be found across the map.
| Fast Travel Point | Location |
|---|---|
| Statue Island | Unlocked by default |
| Mindaro's Shrine | Found outside of the shrine |
| Mushroom Rocks | Found near the pond |
| Imp Cliff | Found near the arena |
| Skeleton Ruins | Found near the murals |
Music orbs
Across the world, 4 orbs that play a track of music can be found across the world. At least one of these orbs must be brought to Mindaro's Shrine to complete the shrine, as hinted towards by the Skeleton Ruins mural. When all orbs are brought together, they create a full song.
Music orb Locations
| Orbs | Location |
|---|---|
| Lilac orb | Underneath The Spring's docks, usually by the elevator. |
| Green orb | On top of a small rock formation at Statue Island |
| Blue orb | Found in the pond at Mushroom Rocks |
| Orange orb | Near one of the spike formations in Spike Rocks |
Mindaro's Charms
Mindaro's Charms can be found across the desert, appearing as small multi-colored orbs with an object inside of them.
These charms can be taken back to Mindaro's Shrine and placed on the pedestals, where a portal will open to a secret area once all the charms have been collected. This can be difficult to do without a user in VR, as desktop users aren't able to respawn or interact with other interactables such as fast travel points while holding an object.
Charm Locations
| Charm | Location |
|---|---|
| Star | Grassy Spot near Mindaro's Shrine |
| Teardrop | Imp Cliff's highest peak |
| Pebble | Skeleton Ruins behind the ribs |
| Diamond | Small Ruins between Skeleton Ruins and Statue Island |
Mirages
Mirages can found across the desert, appearing as landmarks that vanish upon getting close to them. There are a total of 4 mirages that can be found across the world.
Found south of The Spring
Found across the bridge north of Statue Island
Found south of The Mural
Found north of the Rock Spikes

Trivia
- The lilac Music Orb found at the Spring initially spawns on the wooden platform, however often rolls and falls underneath the wooden platform on world load.
- In the thumbnail, the land around the Spring appears to be grassy, this is a hint towards the secret quest in the world that leads to a trigger to turn the desert surrounding the spring into a grassland.
- Mindaro and Alabaster's gender and pronouns are intentionally vague, leaving them up for interpretation.[2]
- The name of the continent the world takes place in is called "West Corobi, " as seen in the secret "w" world unlocked by finding all the orbs in Sketchu Spring.[1]
