I kept having issues with Greek's script and felt it was overdone a bit, wrote my own and made it a bit lighter.
Automatically sets the server root directory and server number (via $Pref::Server::Port, this should be a unique number) as well, all that really has to be passed as an argument is the gamemode.
Requires xvfb, wine, and screen.
Just drop this into your Blockland server's folder, chmod +x run.sh, and ./run.sh -g [gamemode].

If you use PM2 for process management, you can use this if you want, instead:
pm2 start wineconsole -n BlocklandServerName --interpreter bash --cwd $(pwd) -- --backend=curses Blockland.exe ptlaaxobimwroe -dedicated -gamemode [gamemode]
