but damn, why did you get off blockland for few years?
I'd say that's more than a few years. That's almost a decade.
Welcome back though.
I think events were here by 2008, but there you go. That was in V9, which came out August 2008.
We have brick physics, which came out in V11, back in March 2009.
Port-forwarding is no longer required (but may be for some users), instead you can generally just host by pressing the start server button.
We no longer have maps, but we do have shadows/shaders, plus a changable environment (change the floor/sky/water textures, add water of various heights and speed/direction, change the colours of the sun/light, day-night cycle, so on).
There are default doors, default bots, default water bricks, and ModTerrain bricks (these are large modular bricks, of various shapes and sizes, designed to be put together to create brick-based terrain. You can even build other bricks on/in them).
Really, to get up to date, have a read through the
Blockland News Archive.This covers all the updates up until 2013, when Blockland became available on Steam.
For updates after 2013, have a look in the
Development Board.There's some overlap between 2011-2013 too.
