    SkyBlock is great; however, there are a few things I'd personally change;

    -The amount of players per team. The current is 4. I'd suggest making the Maximum 5, as well as letting the island owner promote 1 other island member, such as the Party system on Creative.

    -PVP. Currently, in settings, one can set "PVP" and all players on the island can PVP. I suggest adding a feature to allow just the players added to the plot to PVP, this way we can have fights without players randomly warping & getting into it.

    -Creepers. Currently, if a player warps to your island, and fights a Creeper, and it blows up, oh well. This could cause very easy grief. I suggest adding a feature where the player that warps to you island is basically invisible to mobs, nor can it fight mobs. Maybe make it toggle-able in the settings?

    -Trapped Chests. On Creative, we can (or used to...) be able to open Trapped Chests on other people's plots. I believe this could be useful for trading items and even having donation chests.

    -Denying. Currently the closest thing we have to denying a player on S.B. is /is expel (name). However, all this does it kick the player from the island, if they want to return, they can just re-warp. This could be useful to stop players from griefing your island (-cough cough- *Creepers*), and collecting your items as u mine n stuff.

    -Items. This leads me to my next point. If a player is sitting there, mining wheat, and another player appears and grabs all of it, oh well. I suggest adding a feature where players warping to your island can't pick up items. I understanding "well what about trading!", do it at spawn. I would also suggest making this toggle-able

    Thanks for reading *and potentially adding* these features. I love the game, and hope my island (Isla Vas Empire) will survive and thrive. :)

    Sure

    No. If you decide to have a warp, that's your problem. It is supposed to be at least as hard as regular skyblock.

    Those being accessible was a bug. If you want players to donate items, put a hopper.

    This is what /is ban is for.

    May I suggest something?
    First thing I noticed that was a little bit off from other servers: The minishop
    Basically, what I've seen on other servers is the buy/sell plugin. Maybe you're already implementing that and I have no reason to suggest it but I thought I'd throw it out there.
    What it is is a branch off of spawn and the title (like the PLAY sign) SHOP. It's a large shop with almost everything you could need but reasonably priced. Not this $150 for 1 piece of grass. For shame.
    You could sell stuff too. It was usually half price but for stuff like cobble you didn't really get much money out of it as you had to pay. Nowhere near close really. Grass was pretty high in price but it was for like 8 for probably $75 or something. It's been a long time and that server has long since been reset.
    With this buy/sell thing, it was easier to have your own shop.
    I'm really bad with words when I want to suggest something so try to piece it together as best you can.
    Anyway, there would be a wide range of blocks from like $25 per 6 blocks of stained clay and such. They sold fence, wood, saplings, etc. Yeah, I suppose that defeats the purpose of some challenges but trust me people (or at least I) will still do them.
    I hope you decide to add this in <3

    Also quick question - do animals automatically spawn when you have grass and such or no

    I got to admit people warping to my island to get in the way or steal my cobble got annoying
    So thats why my warp is just a platform for them to sit on.

    We have added the ChestShop plugin so you can make awesome shops in your island. You can sell and buy stuff from and to players.

    What comes to the prices of items my personal opinion is that they are pretty well balanced. Of course dirt and other valuable items for SkyBlock are more expensive than some other items. You get money and some valuable items from challenges (/challenges). Some tweaking has to be done of course and that can only happen with time.

    I am also working on adding voting perks to the SkyBlock server. Some ideas I've had have been money, more restarts, decorative blocks (colored clay, for example) and other pretty awesome features.

    Thank you guys for your feedback on the SkyBlock server and as always, keep awesome and have a nice day at BuildCraftia. We'll see what the future holds for this game mode.

    In theory, it'll attract more players, so maybe BC becomes more popular?
