There is?

hit F1 at any time and click "2. Getting into the Game"

or you could just buy a server from the hosting services, that seems to be easiest

Helpful, but not worthy of being stickied if that's what you're aiming for.

This is my cut-and-paste tutorial that I give everybody in the Help forum:

Creating a Dedicated Server (for Windows)

First, make a copy of your Blockland shortcut. Then right click on the new copy of the shortcut and go to Properties. Click the Shortcut tab.

The target field will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe"
To make this launch a dedicated server, add the -dedicated parameter to the end. It should now look like this:

Code: [Select]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicatedYou can now launch the server using that shortcut, but I recommend that you read below first.

(Optional) If you wish to start a specific game mode, add the -gamemode Name_of_GameMode parameter to the end of the target. If you don't do this, the server will default to the standard/custom mode. (which allows you to set your own add-ons and customize everything)

(Optional, but recommended) Set your dedicated server to use its own directory. (if you don't do this, it will use your current BL directory) Add this parameter to the end of your shortcut's target: -profilePath "C:\path\to\server folder"


Setting Up Your Server

Before you perform these steps, you should start your server at least once and then close it - doing so will create the pref files for you to edit. Note, these steps should be performed while the server is closed.

To change server settings, open the file called "prefs.cs" in the "config/server" folder.

To change which add-ons are enabled, open the file called "ADD_ON_LIST.cs" in the "config/server" folder. A 1 next to an add-on indicates it is enabled while a -1 indicates it is disabled.

To install new add-ons, simply place them in the add-ons folder.


Shutting Down Your Server

This might seem trivial, but most people don't know how to do this properly.

To shut down your server, enter quit(); in the server console.

So outdated, Now all you do is check that box-make a normal server set up the way you want it then turn it off and start the dedicated shortcut file in your desktop.
To find it, go to Filter in join server and then hit "Dedicated" and "empty" but only to make them checked, finally you look for it in the list and it should be there.

OP, lock this loving OD topic and stop posting stupid stuff.
