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. | A '''server''' is an online [[world]] that allows multiple players and devices to play together.
