Add-On Workbench
Add-On Workbench enables you to make Add-ons without any scripting or having you thinking what that string ment and is quite simple and does require little or no scripting knowledge. The current Add-on Workbench allows you to: Make playertypes, make simple bricks, description files, and package your Add-ons with Add-On Packager Plus or just a normal export.

Screenshot Viewer
Screenshot Viewer is a simple utility to view your screenshots from ingame. Also with the option to delete them.

SkyServer
SkyServer is a useful utility to create servers. How? SkyServer will swap server files to get the correct settings for your server, its like using your favorite web pages (somewhat). By "building" your server, SkyServer fetches your previous server preferences and archives them with a few other files so when you activate the selected server... your server preferences are swapped with the ones in the archive, which of course may be delete if unwanted.

Clan Agent
Clan Agent is the best way to manage your clan's everythingelse. Currently it can only create and modify member profiles. By making a profile, you can set ranks, status, names, and IDs and in which can be modified if those change.

My Server
My Server is a simple utility to watch your server on the Blockland website.

Dedicated Server Generator
Aside from SkyServer, Dedicated Server Generator is a batch generator. The batch files are for hosting servers as Internet or LAN and different maps, it does not swap server preferences like SkyServer.

Could there ever be a program you don't think is crappy?

The whole interface looks horrible.

I wouldnt say crappy, they look like they have legitamate work put into them.

Theyre still everywhere though.

I know people will consider it biased for me to comment, but I can't help feel a little bit of AfterBlock has begun to shine through Platinum Blockland ever since I released AB. For example the welcome on Platinum is very AB-ish. For example AB shows my character and has a casual speech-like explanation of the startup process. Suddenly Platinum now has a very similar startup in that respect, something the older versions never had until AB came along. I don't get why Platinum suddenly needs to go through an introduction process when it never had to before... the earlier versions detected my Blockland folder fine.
And why exactly does Platinum have to restart after the intro? AfterBlock only does that because it reads preferences on startup so it needs to be relaunched, is there a similar reason here? Seems odd.

Its no problem, I'm not saying it matters but it feels like AB is having an influence on your work, in unnecessary ways.

Ok so there is... Rtb, Cloud, AfterBlock, Stealth and now PB, Any More? What is somebody gonna make a" Blockland Organiser" Organise All your Blockland things in one place, even tho they have all the same use!
