Wait, I'm confused, will the blockland files stay there after install, or will they be created on runtime each run?

They will stay there, each time you load up the launcher, it will check the master server for any updates. If there are any, it will download them. The files stay, they are updated when they need to be. If there is anything missing, it will be re-downloaded when you run the launcher.

Only the files that are updated will be downloaded through the launcher, instead of downloading the whole version like always. Pretty sure this was explained a bit more somewhere in the OP or one of Badspot's reply's.

The launcher downloads the game to %userprofile%/My Documents/Blockland/ (windows) or /Users/<username>/Documents/Blockland/ (mac) and runs the game from there. Everything inside the Blockland folder is the same. There should be no compatibility problems.

Will users be able to edit the path?

I am still confused. All of the game files are going to be located in My Documents on Windows? I need to play the game through there if I wish to use the auto update feature?

Multiple accounts, yay.

The launcher downloads it there, but I think you can still play as normal.
