SkyBlock

​

Hey there,

lately we added SkyBlock into our server and thus far it has been a hit! Thank you all for playing and giving us ideas for the server.

This thread is going to tell you some essentials of playing in the SkyBlock server.

Connecting
You can connect to the SkyBlock server using the server changing command (/server) and choosing SkyBlock. For your convenience we have also added a direct connection IP address, which you can use too. The IP is skyblock.bcsn.us

Starting the game
When joining the SkyBlock for the first time, you will be spawned in the spawn world. You can start your game by typing /island or by clicking the signs under the big “PLAY” text.

Currently there is three island choices to choose from; the original, the easy one and the hard one. When you have chosen the island to start on, you will be spawned in your island. You are ready to start your wonderful SkyBlock experience!

Game essentials
The purpose of the SkyBlock is trying to survive in a harsh island you’ve been given. Probably the first things you should do is a cobblestone generator so you can expand your little island. If you have no idea how to make a cobblestone generator, take a look at one here.

But where do I get money to buy things? you may ask. The cool thing with our version of SkyBlock is that we have challenges (/challenges). With completing challenges you will be granted money, blocks, experience and much much more! There is different level challenges, so you need to do the lower level ones before you can get into the harder ones.

ChestShops
We added ChestShops into the SkyBlock! This allows players to create ChestShops selling and buying different things at their home island. To create a shop, just place a sign on the chest and write the following in the sign:

1. Leave the first line empty, the plugin will put your name on it automatically
   
   
2. Write how many items you want to buy/sell
   
   
3. Price line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You need to have a price indicator (like 'B' - price that will apply to items BOUGHT by PLAYERS - or 'S' - the SELL price) near the price - the prices are separated by a colon )
   
   
4. Last of all write the item ID on the last line.
   
   

Useful SkyBlock Commands

• /island - teleports you to your own island
• /challenges - shows you the challenges
• /is warp <name> - warps you to someone else’s island, if they have a [WELCOME] sign
• /is invite <name> - invite a friend to your island
• /is help - see all the island commands
