What is Skyblock? Skyblock is a floating island survival map. On the server, your team will be assigned an island where you’ll be tasked with a list of goals to accomplish (with meager starting supplies) to win the challenge. As previously stated we’ll be using an adaption of Skyblock 2.1 with additional goals to make the experience slightly more challenging.
Rules:
- Teams can be 1-3 players.
- Do not purposely jump off the island to regenerate your health.
- Do not attempt to make a bridge to the Island Hub, neighboring islands, or map edge. Each individual island is roughly 2,000 minecraft blocks away from the other. If you are found attempting to bridge islands or the other two areas stated you will be disqualified and removed from the whitelist. This rule goes for Overworld and Netherworld islands.
- Overworld island can extend up to 100 blocks out from the bedrock block marking the center in any of the 4 compass point directions. You are not restricted as far as height is concerned.
- Netherworld islands can extend up to 40 blocks out from your nether portal in any of the 4 compass point directions. You are not restricted as far as height is concerned.
- If you somehow spawn on a neighbors island either jump off or use their cb to return to the Island Hub to access your island.
Notes:
- Anvils and enchanting tables will not be provided for you this time around. You can purchase both, as well as a brewstand, at one of the Xp Shops for 50xp levels. KeepInventory is set to false so you will lose your xp when you die.
- Two XP Item Shops have been set up to allow you access to materials you wouldn’t normally have access to during single player survival. One item, the brewstand, is required for you to meet certain challenge goals.
- Instead of doing a pumpkin trade for dirt like we’ve done in the past you may purchase grass blocks from one of the two xp shops. One shop specializes in animals. If you are having a hard time getting animals to spawn on your island (and with the way the map is set up you shouldn’t have issues getting them to spawn naturally if your island is set up to spawn them correctly) you now have the option to purchase animal spawn eggs for an xp cost.
- If you fail to set up your cobblestone generator correctly and lose your lava you will be given only 1 replacement lava source.
- If you fail to set up your nether portal correctly you will not get a second chance to do so.
- If your tree fails to produce saplings the admins will not give you saplings. You may ask other challengers if they have any they’d like to donate to you. **Helpful tip** Natural leaf decay seems to increase your odds of receiving saplings. A little patience goes a long way.
- If you lose the sand and cacti from your sand island the admins will not replace them. You may ask other challengers to donate sand/cacti should this happen. **Helpful tip** Approaching the sand island from below is the safest option.
- If you lose the mushrooms from your nether island the admins will not replace them. Again, you may ask other challengers for donations.
- Your starting chest only has 2 items in it. As you progress to your sand island and nether islands you’ll “unlock” more chests with additional items.
- If for any reason you lose your snow blocks they will not be replaced by the admins. You may ask other challengers for donations.
