The Blokhaven client
The site is where you build a figure, kit it out and talk to people. The client is where you will walk around in the worlds other people have made. It is a separate application because a world wants a window of its own rather than a browser tab.
Checking for builds...
What it will look like
These four figures are being rendered in your browser right now, out of boxes, from the same catalog data the client would use. They are not screenshots: there is nothing to screenshot yet. Real pictures replace them when there is a build.
What it will need
These are targets, not measurements. Nobody has run the client on anything, because there is no client. They say what it is being built to run on, and they will be replaced with real numbers.
- Windows Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
- macOS macOS 12 Monterey and later, Intel and Apple silicon
- Linux A 64-bit distribution with a recent glibc
Installing it
Your operating system will probably warn you about the download. That warning is correct and you should read it rather than clicking through it out of habit.
Code signing certificates cost money every year, and until Blokhaven buys one, Windows SmartScreen will say the publisher is unknown and macOS Gatekeeper will refuse to open the app on the first try. That is the system doing its job on an unsigned binary, not a sign that the file is safe or unsafe. The way to know what you have is the checksum below.
- Windows: SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway, once you have checked the SHA-256.
- macOS: the first open is refused. Right-click the app and choose Open, which offers to open it anyway, or allow it in System Settings under Privacy and Security.
- Linux: make the AppImage executable with
chmod +xand run it. No installer, nothing written outside your home directory.
Checking what you downloaded
Every build is published with a SHA-256 digest. Running the command for your platform prints a long string of hex, and it should match the one on this page exactly. If it does not, delete the file: either the download broke, or what you have is not what we published.
certutil -hashfile Blokhaven-Setup.exe SHA256
shasum -a 256 Blokhaven.dmg
sha256sum Blokhaven.AppImage
This page is served over HTTPS, so the digest you are reading has not been altered in transit either. That is the whole point of putting it here rather than beside the file.
Updates
The client will check for a new version on launch and tell you what changed before it installs anything. It will not update itself silently, and it will not update itself while you are in a world.
Every version stays downloadable from this page, so a release that breaks something for you is something you can step back from rather than wait out.

In the meantime
Everything on the site works today, in the browser, with nothing to install.
