Go to your blockland folder and click dedicated.bat Then you can join it.

You MUST have two computers for this to work well.

Can somebody explain to me why you need two computers for this to work well?

He's correct in a way. It's best if you have a separate computer you can dedicate entirely to hosting a dedicated server.

basicaly, you can run dedicated.bat, or just blockland, with the dedicated.bat file, you don't have to be at the server and render it, and can join it with a blockland file, although either way your computer needs to be connected to the internet and running
or...
you can pay for somebody else to host it

Can't you get a thing that hosts it as long as it stays up?

That's basically what i do, and i don't have any problems out of that.

first - you dont NEED 2 computers, but it helps.

Best option for single computer is to get a dual core (or more than 2 cores if you can).
You will want 2GB of RAM or more (4GB is ideal - more is always better).

Then install blockland like normal, make sure it works.  Make sure you can host normal servers with little or no lag to you.

Then goto where blockland is installed, edit (or copy) dedicated.bat  and change it use whatever map you want.  Then run it.
Start blockland like normal and connect to your own dedicated server (if you sort by ping it will be at the top of the list).
Load whatever you want, and wait for people to join.

Lastly: DONT TURN OFF YOUR PC.  if you do, the dedicated server will go down

most of the PC/laptops used by blockland players can barely run a single copy of blockland.  If you run a dedicated server, you will be running 2 copies of blockland.  One for the dedicated server and one for your own to play like normal.

Now if you have a dual-core or better PC, then you can probably handle running both a dedicated server and normal blockland on your PC at the same time.

the dedicated server doesn't use much computing power though, it's just a server, it requires almost nothing for the computer to do compaired to a normal BL opened, as it doesn't have to render the server
