This is somewhat irrelevant, but wouldn't a dedicated server use less processing power/memory than a full Blockland client running?

However, running a client as a server is most efficient.

That's if you go into Blockland's pref files or use console to set the max players to 99.
The real definition is a server that doesn't require the host to stay connected to the server. So you could leave and the server won't shut down.

Yeah but new users wont know how to edit the pref, let alone opening the pref file. By default standard server lets you do 32 and dedicated lets you host 99 players, so I guess I am not entirely wrong. And the other part you said only works if the person is running the server on a seperate computer, I didnt add that so it wont cause confusion

I cant say anything about that one, I have never used that.

Attend to the diagram of letters
B = memory needed to load the engine
E = Everything else that needs to load
Not precisely proportional
Client (9)
BBB
EEEEEE
Server (4)
BBB
E
Client-server (10)
