- A Steam key can be redeemed if you already own the game at Blockland Steam Conversion page.
- Purchasing the game on Steam will not provide you with a Blockland key, which may be limiting if you plan to host a dedicated server or play the game without Steam.
- Demo version of the game can be downloaded at Blockland Download page along with portable edition of the game (key needed).
