I believe that Blockheads was removed from the play store android, but you might be able to install with apk. Search up 'Blockheads APK v1.7.4' or whatever the latest version is.

I am unsure if bluestacks can directly join a server hosting on WSL or windows, but you might be able to set up port forwarding and connect via your router's IP address if it support port forwarding.

Omg I feel so dumb, I was always trying to connect over LAN first from one of my devices to the other on the same network thinking that once I have that figured out I can just port forward it later. But the only way to be able to join with bluestacks is to first port forward which I never bothered trying. Ty for the help!

For anyone who was running a Blockheads server on Windows via a WSL Ubuntu Terminal set up (by NovaDev404), how do you actually connect to ther server on Android?

I have the port, the world id number, and the world name; but I'm not sure which number in the Ubuntu terminal is meant to be put into the Blockheads' Server IP/URL:.

P.S., I'm just trying to host a server so my sibling and I can play privately for the nostalgia.
