  • The race may have multiple paths, either stemming from spawn or stemming from somewhere along the main path.
  • Often, finishers are rewarded with certain power-ups or weapons at the finish line (sometimes, an additional challenge must be completed for rewards).
  • There is often a "main block area", designed for block fights and PvP. Most of the time, the main block area is a short distance from spawn, so players cannot instantly respawn into the area.


Server modifcations

Block is often played on regular ddrace/ddnet servers. But there are also block specific extensions in mods.
