A '''server''' is an online [[world]] that allows multiple players and devices to play together. Unlike other forms of [[multiplayer]], all players can freely connect, reconnect, and disconnect. A local network game is similar to a local server in that it could be used as a server if set up correctly. Starting in [[Game updates/20140402|version 1.5]], servers may also be 4x or 16x larger.

As Mac servers lack owners, all owner commands are instead accessed from the chat in the server app.
Owners of Mac Servers can be set using the /SET-OWNER command.
 
===Super Mods===
[[File:Supermod_milla.png|thumb|right|Super Mods are identified by a red background. ]]
Super Mods have absolute power on all cloud server worlds on The Blockheads. Super Mods are part of The Blockheads Team and have the ability to set or remove owners of a cloud server and do various tasks that only Super Mods can do.
 
Super Mods can not be Muted, Reported, Banned or Kicked as indicated in the thumb on the right.
 
Current Super Mods:
* Dave Frampton (majicDave)
* Camilla Koutsos (milla)
* NoodleCake (NoodleKing)
