Manual Usage

Some users may not want to bother with this program and will want to use an already generated URI.

[!IMPORTANT] Account authentication with this method will not be present. You will have to login inside the Roblox app for that.

[!NOTE] You should read Bloxstrap's deep dive on handling URIs to understand the values that are being used.

Basis

There will be two elements to this URI:

  • roblox-player: Makes browsers and other applications understand that Roblox wants to be launched
  • placelauncherurl: The main part that tells Roblox what game, private server, or friend to join

Your final URI will look like something like this:

roblox-player:1+placelauncherurl:https://assetgame.roblox.com/game/PlaceLauncher.ashx?placeId=1818

The default value for roblox-player will always be 1.

The value for placelauncherurl will change depending on what you want to join to, but will always have placelauncherurl:https://assetgame.roblox.com/game/PlaceLauncher.ashx?.

Joining a Game

You will need to add placeId=[game-id], where [game-id] is the ID of the game you want to join. See here on how to get a Game ID.

Final URI: roblox-player:1+placelauncherurl:https://assetgame.roblox.com/game/PlaceLauncher.ashx?placeId=[game-id]

Joining a Private Server

[!NOTE] Private server access code must exist within the Game ID. Access to private server is required. Using the private server ID from a generated link will not work.

You will need to add both placeid=[game-id] and accessCode=[private-server-access-code] to the URI, separated with an &. See here on getting a private server access code.

Final URI: roblox-player:1+placelauncherurl:https://assetgame.roblox.com/game/PlaceLauncher.ashx?placeId=[game-id]&accessCode=[private-server-access-code]

Joining a Friend

You will need to add only userId=[friend-id], where [friend-id] is the user ID of the user you want to join their game.

[!NOTE] Having placeId with userId may cause the game with that ID to be joined instead of your user you want to follow.

[!NOTE] The user must have permissions to be followed, and must have access to the server they are in.

Final URI: roblox-player:1+placelauncherurl:https://assetgame.roblox.com/game/PlaceLauncher.ashx?userId=[friend-id]
