You heard it from the title, Skyblock has arrived to the Network! You’ll be able to get there using /skyblock. It is worth mentioning much like the previous announcement that the server will be in the BETA stage for a while, to make sure everything works properly and to add more ranks, island presets and challenges as time passes.

Commands you have access to by default includes:
– /sethome [name]
– /tpa [name]
– /tpaccept /tpdeny
– /tpahere
– /back
– /msg [name] [message]
– /report [message]
– /status [ticket ID]
– Lock Chest, Doors, Furnaces etc.
– /lockette
– /auctionhouse

For now, there are 3 ranks to obtain – Novice, Adept and Expert, all with their own prefixes and perks, written up in the spawn area, and from the challenges that are set up it is possible to go to the Nether and End dimensions with enough hard work, so good luck to all who want to speed-run it!

I’m open to make changes with enough feedback, so if there’s anything anybody feels needs changing to make your experience better, please say something in the Skyblock Text Channel of our Discord Server!

(On a side note, SniperTown is now fixed)

Have fun!

Hey everyone! Today I have a very important announcement.

Due to many reasons discussed within the staff team, we believe it’s time to add a brand new server to our list. So without further ado, we are proud introduce Skyblock!

This is something a lot of people have been suggesting for a while now, and we feel that now is as good a time as any to add a Skyblock Server to the Network.

This doesn’t, however, come without first mentioning a few minor details about plans for it, and the current state in which it stands.

For now, we are releasing it as essentially a “BETA Test”, where we haven’t quite nailed down the fine details of the server, which pretty much means it’s unfinished. But with your feedback, we can over time change Skyblock into something unique – Part of the server that will appeal to and attract a larger audience of the Minecraft Community.

Due to it being a brand new part of the Network, it will be frequently updated with new Challenges, Island Presets and additions that you, the Community, might suggest!

Once the BETA stage is over (once we feel the server feels full enough to run by itself without need for immediate attention) the server will be RESET, and will continue to do so every half a year. This is because we want to give Skyblock more of a “Seasonal” feel, where every 6 months we add new content for people to have a go at, so it doesn’t get boring with it being the same thing forever.

We will be releasing it very soon, so keep a sharp eye out for the announcements so that you know when you can get yourself an island! Any questions or suggestions you might have, feel free to post them in the new Skyblock Text Channel of our Discord Server!

Enjoy!

That’s right, I did it early!

All shop prices, buy and sell, have been changed to better fit the current economy. You should find it easier now to use the shop to buy the things you’ll need for your builds. There are a couple things that have been added to the shop as well – You can now buy Quartz Blocks and Saddles for all your building and horse riding needs!

And as such, some items have also been removed. You can no longer buy Dyes, Nether Quartz (The Crystals), Beetroots or Chorus Fruit, nor can you now sell Jukeboxes, Bread or Nether Stars. The reasons for this are either the item saw no use in the shop, or there is now an easier/cheaper method to buy or sell the item.

If you come across an issue with using the signs, or if there is a price that feels out of place, feel free to tag me in the Discord and let me know!

Overall, from setting up a new layout to manually changing every buy and sell sign, this took me between 7-8 hours to do. As such, I hope that everything I’ve done will be appreciated. Thank you to the staff who gave input on the new prices, and thanks to everybody else for staying patient!

Enjoy!

I’ve been listening to various comments about /warp shop being insanely overpriced in the past few weeks and decided it’s time for a change.

What’s happening?
So on December 18th at around 3 PM GMT, I will be rearranging the layout slightly in /warp shop, as well as making huge changes to the prices. This is to make everything more affordable overall, and make it easier for the players who weren’t here during the glory days of being able to make millions daily, to buy the things they might need for various builds, or just overall gameplay. I’ve been going through these price changes for some time now along with some of the other staff and we think the prices are reasonable enough that the money you earn from selling things in the shop and converting tokens into money (at /warp token) can make a difference to what you’re able to buy, whereas with the current prices you aren’t earning much nor can you afford much.

How long will it take?
I cannot give an estimated time for how long this will take, as it could last anywhere between a few hours to a couple days. During this time, it is recommended to not use the shop to buy anything, as I don’t want anybody to waste their $ on something that will, in moments to come, get its’ price drastically changed.

To conclude, I’d just like to say that we do listen to and appreciate the feedback of the community. Though we may not be able to make immediate changes, we are working on various ongoing projects as well as having some planned as well that we hope everybody will enjoy!

Thanks as always,

I’d like to start this off with an apology, as the Scavenger Hunt has been delayed due to various reasons. We need more time to discuss how the whole thing should work and to make it a fair experience for everybody participating, so we’re moving it to later on when we’ve had the time to develop the idea and execution of the contest.

The Haunted House contest is still on track, and should be ready for plot claiming at the scheduled time – Details on the contest and the prizes will be announced later on, so look forward to that!

Again, apologies to those who wanted to participate, and we will try to create a fair and functional Scavenger Hunt in time.

Since we didn’t get much feedback on having the Ender Dragon dropping an Elytra in Pure Survival to add both renewability and a faster way to get around the world, we as a Staff Team had to make the decision ourselves. So we did!

You can now respawn the Ender Dragon as you normally would (via 4 End Crystals), and when it dies it will drop an Elytra! So if you want to put the effort into grinding Ghast Tears and finding the portal yourself, you can now actually get some form of reward from it 😀

Any feedback about this addition we will gladly listen to in the #suggestions-feedback section of our Discord.

Many hopes that this feature will make for a good addition to Pure Survival overall, and good luck to those who fight the dragon for it!

We’ve been discussing a certain feature within the Staff Team which involves adding renewability to Elytras in our Pure Survival server, and we’re now open to opinions about the topic, since it has gone around certain individuals we feel that it’s easier at this point to have input from everybody. We’re mainly looking for feedback from people who already actively play on the Pure Survival server, but all feedback will be taken into account when making this decision.

Now, for the part you’re all probably dying to hear. Why exactly are we deciding this as a possible feature?

With 1.14.4 having broken the Nether Portals network system, different portals lead to different places, they don’t lead to places they’re intended to go. The main method of quick transportation around the world has been essentially removed temporarily. We may see this come back with 1.15, in which case we may consider removing this feature, however for now it would be very beneficial for players that live long distances to meet up with other players on the server, which is where the idea of Elytras came up.

Since the End is mostly raided and because it has a fairly small world border, Elytras are very hard to come by – Essentially becoming unobtainable. As a vanilla part of the game, we feel it would be a good idea for it to have some form of renewability. It won’t be insanely easy to get, however – It will be dropped from the Ender Dragon, which requires you to collect Ghast Tears from the Nether in order to craft the End Crystals required. It’s still a grind to get, but it adds a way to get an item which has a big impact on transportation throughout the world. It adds replayability to the Nether and End, gives a reason to use Firework Rockets and allows you to travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time.

There have been arguments against this as well, such as keeping Pure Survival as “Pure” as it can be, which is fair to say as it’s a server that we are trying to keep as Vanilla as it gets without any additions.

Either way, whichever side of the argument you’re on, we want to hear your opinions in the #suggestions-feedback channel of our Discord, as it matters a lot more about what everybody else thinks. If you want a voice on this addition, now is as good a time as ever.

Thanks to all who take their time to write their input on this feature.

We’ve finally gotten round to fixing a couple things on our Survival and Pure Survival servers.

In Survival:

– The Biome Warps menu has been fixed (/warps).
– Removed some data that applied to the old world.
– Shop Map Typo in spawn fixed.
– Firework Maker no longer charges for fireworks.

In Pure Survival:

– Added /music GUI and permissions.
– Donators can no longer mount pets for the meantime.
(This is because people were exploiting pets for superspeed and flying, which gave donators a huge advantage over other players and made Pure Survival a lot less, well… “Pure”)

Any other bugs or issues you come across please report to us either on the Forums or in the #suggestions-feedback channel of our Discord.
