How do 24/7 Minecraft Servers Work?

Minecraft servers are commonly advertised as 24/7 servers or can accessed 24 hours a day. If you're on a Minecraft server like one block, it means that your friends can play while offline. When you login to the game, you will see the changes which have been made.

It is unlike singleplayer, where if you logout, it is not possible for any changes to happen. This also means that players from different parts of the world can play on the same server.
