Update 1.2 is out, please read here.Please note, AfterBlock version 2.0 is in development, a re-write of the main system. Feel free to ask questions here.
If you're STILL getting a startup error, the cause might be that the name you input is different than the one you wear on the BL ID. Change the BL ID nickname to the AB one, and you might get it to work. Otherwise, ask Sheath.

AfterBlock is a multipurpose program designed for fans of the game Blockland by Eric Hartman. It is the only 3rd party Blockland tool that includes both productive tools and games, themed entirely like Blockland to bring a piece of the building game we all love onto our desktops.
AfterBlock is composed of "apps" which all have a purpose, offering fun and productive features. Whenever there is an update, all you have to do is click the update option in AfterBlock and get the latest apps, fixes, and features.
AfterBlock is a wonderful, novelty, fun piece of free software that brings a bit of Blockland onto your desktop.
