First of all, this is my first tutorial. Hope you like it. Second of all, most people already know this but I'm just telling new players.

If you want to download add-ons from the Add-Ons Folder in you need to download it to your Documents folder (in there you should find Blockland folder with the Add-Ons folder). Then when your about to launch game, click Add-Ons, and check the Add-On you got! This is simpler with Return To Blockland but if it's not your type, then that's how you do it.

WHERE TO FIND YOUR BLOCKLAND FOLDER ON WINDOWS*: (username with Blockland installed)>My Documents>Blockland

* Where to find it on Mac is unknown for me cause I have no Macs.

If you find Blockland.exe (in your Programs folder) don't use that one. It is the launcher and basic program.

TECHNICAL HELP? PM me!

THE NEXT SECTION IS BASICALLY FOR NEW PLAYERS WHO JUST GOT BLOCKLAND

What do I do after I bought Blockland?
You should get an Email to the Email address you bought the game with. Find that Email from Blockland and you will find a code. Open up Demo Blockland. Copy and paste the code into the correct area and you have activated your "account"!

How do I change my name?
At the bottem of the screen you should see two buttons: Key and Name. Click Name and change your name!

How do I host a good server?
Well, I'm not going to spend much time saying this but, you might want to get Return To Blockland so you can download Add-Ons easier.

RETURN TO BLOCKLAND: returntoblockland.com

How do I talk with the Console?
If your hosting a server click ~ and type in the Console:
talk("TEXTHERE");

If you are using a dedicated server, type in the Console (not in-game) the same thing.
Console Commands List

How do I host a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a server that you can LEAVE. Basically with Blockland should come to Dedicated server programs. Internet and LAN. Use Internet. From here on out watch this video.

I can't host a server. What's wrong?
You might need to Port Forward. Here is the tutorials:

WINDOWS
MAC

If that doesn't work, try re-installing Blockland.

You need to stop being so handicapped.

And as for everyone stop making so many help/tutorial/guides when you have no clue what you are talking about.

No. It's full of ambiguities and inaccuracies. Guides should be comprehensive, step by step and not contain sections that say

When the answer can usually be found just by searching for about a minute.

There should also be a requirement for guide writers to be able to form understandable sentences.

I don't understand why you see the need to instruct people on how to use the console when you haven't instructed them how to host fully (Port Forwarding, UPnP etc.)

Also the ability to edit in the help forum is non-existent; try to avoid spelling mistakes.

Your description of a number of things only applies in certain circumstances, and with a little bit of research you could cover a number of other bases, why not do that?

I'm getting slightly irritated at the amount of people trying to post badly thought through tutorials. If you look through this forum you can probably find at least 2 on every topic you can think of.
