BEFORE YOU BUILD

A few good
questions.

Still curious? Visit Leeroy Servers .

Does my computer need to stay on?+

Yes. Your Minecraft server runs on your computer, so Blockyard and the computer need to stay running while people play.

Do I need to install Java first?+

No. Automatic Java mode downloads and verifies a compatible Eclipse Temurin runtime for your server. You can also choose your own Java executable.

Will my friends be able to join?+

People on your network can connect using your computer’s network address. Internet connections need a reachable public address and an open server port. UPnP can help on supported routers; some ISPs use carrier-grade NAT, which may require another solution.

Why use the installer instead of portable?+

The installer extracts the app once and adds shortcuts. The portable edition needs to unpack its files each time it opens, which can make launches noticeably slower. Both editions use the same server-data location.

Is it ready for my only copy of an important world?+

Blockyard is early access. Bugs can cause crashes, configuration changes or lost files. Keep independent, tested backups of worlds and configurations before using or updating it. There is no built-in automatic backup service.

Does Blockyard upload my worlds?+

Blockyard has no built-in world sync, analytics or account system. Your server data stays on your machine. Downloads and Minecraft services make network requests; see the privacy policy for details.
