![]() Users were also able to add friends and view a tab on them, allowing said player to view what server their friends are on and join them. Alongside this, there was a chat system implemented that allowed players to have private chats as well as converse in public chatrooms. Download the file named iosceneblb-v2-0-0.zip from the downloads in this release. A mod manager was added, allowing the user to download, enable, disable, and delete add-ons. The export option is under File > Export > Blockland Brick (.blb). RTB's in-game features vastly improved Blockland's appeal. Unapproved Add-Ons can, however, still be used. ![]() This was to prevent any damaged or harmful add-ons from being available for (easier) public download by reviewing the code of an add-on, and then deciding if it is of high enough quality to be presented on their downloads system. RTB was moderated by Ephialtes, Lub, Space Guy, and a few other less-active users. ![]() Many theories have been made on why RTB was shut down, one of the most popular being that Ephialtes decided to quit blockland and no longer wanted to fund RTB. The website no longer exists and when trying to turn on the add-on, it will not connect to the RTB servers (since they no longer exist). Prior to March 1st, 2014, on the RTB website a notice was posted saying "This service will be unavailable from March 1st, 2014, please download anything you wish to keep before this date". After the beta test period was over, the update was released to the public boasting a totally revamped chat system, no longer relying on the often-down IRC system, and a miniature social networking feature allowing for a friends list, and allowing friends to easily connect to one anothers' servers. Information on the beta can be found at the ingame manual. In late 2011, a beta for a later version of RTB was released to a select 50 members. At the time, it featured an ingame portal to the RTB website, in which the users could download mods from, a colorset manager, easier Add-Ons manager, and a portal to the IRC chatroom, #rtb. Return To Blockland as a content manager was released in late 2008, when Ephialtes, it's creator, posted it on the Add-Ons board. Until an easy to mod game is created that is based around Blockland's building style, along with a toy-like artstyle (and a handful of glitches that are just humorous and add to the game), I don't think Blockland will be able to be replaced.This article is about an Add-on, meaning it has to be downloaded from a third-party and does not reflect the default content of the game. Without add-ons, the game wouldn't be as amazing as it turned out to be. On top of that is how easy Blockland is to mod, and how integral that is to the entire game. Other building games such as minecraft have that creative fluid that Blockland has, but it's an entirely different beast primarily due to the building process I outlined a bit earlier, and the fact that voxel based building is simply not as intuitive as ghosting based building. I don't think Blockland is a game I can properly replace. So often games rely on you moving to place blocks whereas in blockland you can simply throw your camera wherever and build what you want to build anywhere without moving an inch, and know exactly how you're doing it too. It's so simple to build, it's intuitive to build, and you can do things so quickly with complete control over every part of the building process. I want to say Blockland has had the easiest to understand creative formula of any building game I've ever played.
