The developer of Block Story , Xcellorator, has stated that online multiplayer will not be officially implemented because the game's core architecture was built specifically for single-player . Adding it would require rewriting roughly 90% of the code .

If you are looking for a way to experience Block Story in a multiplayer format, here are the current options: 1. (The Official "Successor")

Instead of modding the original game, the developers created , a standalone MMO specifically designed for multiplayer . Availability: It is available on PC, Android, and iOS .

Features: Includes quests, leveling systems, and party mechanics for up to five players . Download: PC users can find it on the Official Website . 2. Existing Multiplayer "Fixes" & Discussions

While a full "multiplayer mod" that adds server support to the base game is not widely available, there are community workarounds for similar issues in related games or versions:

Version Mismatch Fixes: Players often face issues joining lobbies due to mod metadata. Deleting the .metadata folder in the mod directory can sometimes resolve version mismatch errors .

Community Interest: There is ongoing discussion in the Official Discord Server regarding fans wanting to develop third-party multiplayer mods, similar to those created for games like Subnautica . 3. In-Game Paper and Books (Vintage Story Comparison)

It is common for users to confuse Block Story with Vintage Story regarding "paper mods."

If you are looking for a mod to produce paper to share stories or server information, the modBooks and Th3Expansion mods for Vintage Story allow for crafting paper and writing shared books on multiplayer servers .

4) Install client-side mod

  1. Close Block Story and any related launchers.
  2. Extract the mod archive.
  3. Follow mod README; common steps:
    • Copy mod files into the game’s “mods” or “data” folder.
    • Replace or merge configuration files if instructed.
    • If the mod includes DLLs, place them into the game executable directory (Windows) or appropriate library folder.
  4. If a patcher/installer is provided, run it with administrator privileges.
  5. Start the game once to allow the mod to initialize, then exit.

The Future: Is Official Multiplayer Coming?

Interestingly, the success of the Block Story multiplayer mod has put pressure on the original developers. In recent social media posts (archived on Reddit), the dev team hinted that they are "looking into netcode" for a potential sequel or major update.

However, until an official announcement drops, the mod remains the only way to experience Block Story with friends. It has its bugs—occasional rubber-banding and rare crashes—but the sheer joy of building a kingdom with a partner outweighs the technical hiccups.
