How to create a custom game

Join PlayUHC's hub.
Right click the compass in your hand ("Game Selector").
Choose a game mode. Usually, Scenario Madness is used for UHC games.
Click the sign item ("Custom Game").
Set up the game settings, like team size, border size, etc. These settings may vary depending on the game mode!
Click the green glass pane ("Start!"). The server will be created and it will load. It usually takes about 20 seconds. You and everyone in your party will be teleported to your custom game once it's loaded.
After you're on your custom game server, you can edit the scenarios with /scen
When you're ready, start the game with /start. This will start a 30 seconds countdown. Alternatively, you can use /start [seconds] for a countdown of the specified seconds.

/scen: view and edit scenarios
