Nicknames and avatars can be chosen at the server connect menu. The connection option may be used to connect to locally-hosted worlds as well.

*Before [[Game updates/20140402|version 1.5]], a third-party service known as [http://blockserver.net BlockServer] could also be used to allow players to host servers. | |||
*BlockServer was discontinued after version 1.6, and all existing worlds were either deleted or manually migrated to the cloud by the owner. | |||
*Android devices with the same version of [[The Blockheads]] as an iOS device could join a locally hosted world run by iOS by using the local IP of the iOS device and the default port. They could connect to the server by using the IP/Port section in the Advanced... section of the Multiplayer menu. | |||
