You didn't describe the castle. You gave coordinates that are outside the boundaries of the Skyblock I downloaded. This is NOT in the default download.
Are you on the server? Then someone made it. Are you on a single player world? Then someone else in your house may have done it.
I'm sorry I shall give more detail
The castle was huge and made with diamond block flooring (I think or it was wool) inside were credits to sky block
I am on a singleplayer world and I live alone so no one could have changed it (plus my computer is password protected)
I found it when 2.1 had just come out but i dont remember if i had upgraded to 2.1
I wanted to see what the world around sky block looked like so i downloaded a second map and used SPC to explore the second map when I teleported right next to a castle and the coordinates were well out of the spawn area ( forgot the exact but it was more than 1000 blocks away)
the size was around 50x50x45so im pretty sure it IS in the default download as it has the thank yous and credits for skyblock INSIDE the castle
How big should the pond be? Is there a minimum size to spawn squid?
You only *need* one block of water to spawn a squid, but the more the merrier.
I made an excessively large 64x64 pond, one l block deep. It spawned squid maybe once a Minecraft day. You can make this much easier by making a, say, 8x8 pond that is 8 deep. You only have to place water in the top level and let it flow downward. squids will spawn in flowing water.
it'll take a while, but you'll eventually get squid.
Quick little question about the server. If I invite someone to co-op with me, and we both eventually decide to reset the island - would I be the only one able to reset it? I don't want my co-op partner(s) to ruin what's been done.
Yeah. I was banned for griefing the nether port and I don't know why. I'm pretty sure only signs can be placed by admins there and it said that you could take some of the wool and all I took was like twelve pieces.
Does anyone know if there is going to be an update for 1.3? I really, really like the idea of a skyblock challenge that implements trade.
If this has already been mentioned, please let me know. I didn't bother reading the 444 previous pages of commentary
There are several alternate maps which have implemented villagers. Some time ago Noobcrew suggested he was going to release a "3.0" version of this map, but so far he hasn't and it seems unlikely he will do much of anything more here either. About the only change he has even made for months is to announce the support of an "official" Skyblock multiplayer server.
In short, I doubt anything official will be presented. There have been several proposed "3.0" maps that have been posted, none of them accepted by Noobcrew.
Hello, I need help for unbanning? I heard somewhere that i should come here and post an unban-request, that includes why i was banned and from what server I was banned, so here they are:
> I was trying to type commands like "/Home" and "/trade" into the chat bar, instead of into the command bar, and I got banned for spamming. (Sounds dumb Right? This was when i didn't really know about the command system)
>The server I was on had the IP address of :SkyBlock.net.
Thank you for your time and consideration, please keep me up to date on whethter or not you can unban me or not. THANKS!

Thank you TheJupiterSailfish for the first series of SkyBlock!
Check out his channel for part 2,3, etc.
Note: Removing the block that you spawned on, and not placing a block back (So if there is no block on your spawn point) then dieing may spawn you elsewhere as it is too small to pick a spawn close by. So it will spawn you on the mainland, and it will be impossible to get back. Be careful! (This problem is fixed for the versions that are above this spoiler.)

Are you having issue's downloading the map?
You might click download in mediafire and it will just refresh the page, and not let you download or just show the ?processing download request? instead of providing an option to download.

Change the biome for SkyBlock 2.0/2.1:
To switch the snow biome to a non snow biome.
Download the level.dat that corresponds with the version of SkyBlock you are playing, and replace it.
Note: You will have to skip challenge #32.
Make sure you replace the level.dat before you start the map, or place everything that is in your inventory in a chest. If you do not do so, your items in your inventory will be gone.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Read the title of each spoiler. View the contents of a spoiler to answer your questions. Not everything will be here, as this map is meant to be a challenge, so not everything can be answered.
Here is a video from KerflumexedPenguin about the basics of SkyBlock. Thanks "How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"
This is a very simple fix. To stop your water from re-freezing, as this is in a Tundra (snow) biome, simply place a block above your water source, or a torch next to the source. There are alternative downloads for the level.dat file, but this will eliminate a challenge and therefore you can't complete them all.
"How do I light a Nether portal without Flint & Steel?"
This is very simple to do, but it may take a few tries. The basic idea is to get your lava to light a piece of wood or something else flammable, and have the fire spread through the portal frame so it ignites, therefore activating it.
Step-by-step guide by iiTzWho
"How can I make an infinite water source with only one ice block?"
You can't. The solution is to go to the Nether, using the guide(s) above - once you're there you will find a chest with the second ice block, and many more necessary items to finish all of the SkyBlock challenges. (Items included in the Nether are 27 blocks of glowstone, brown and red mushrooms, the chest, second ice block, sugar cane, and birch sapling).
"My Sand island fell ... can you put a layer of sandstone on the bottom?"
This is a very easy fix as well. If you want to be able to collect of your sand (to finish challenges), build down below the layer of the spawn island with the bedrock by 2 levels. You can do this by using "water scaffolding" (If you don't know what this is, YouTube or Google it) then build over to the sand island. Once your over there, build a 3x3 or larger platform directly under the sand, and it will all fall down onto your platform where you can safely collect it.
Note: Be careful while using water scaffolding! Make sure the water can't form back into ice or you will fall into the void! Also, make sure you collect the cactus block on the sand island, or it may fall into the void when the sand falls.
"Can you fix the snow biome please?"
It's actually not broken, it's meant to be in one to replace it, read the spoiler above - "How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"
"Can you reduce the amount of wool for the tasks?"
There are easy ways to get all of the wool you need, and more! You can create a spawner designed just for spiders to get plenty of string.
Here is somewhat a guide by PopuptwoRS. Thanks
"How do I get gold ingots?"
Go to the Nether (with guide above) and make a platform there for zombie pigmen to spawn on. Kill them for gold nuggets. Once you have 9 gold nuggets, place them in a crafting table in a 3x3 fashion, which creates one gold ingot.
If you love this map, and wish to support, copy the code below and place it in your signature. =)
On your skyblock server, i was muted. Here's the story. There are these abnoxious people that T A L K L I K E T H I S. i tried to say "please mute the people that talk L I K E T H I S." and guess what happened next, they muted me. I was just giving an example of what the people talk like so they know who to mute. WTH :'(
I've tried redownloading it a few times, but it's the exact same map every time. Anyone able to help?
I just downloaded the map about a minute ago to confirm it is working, and opened up that map. I can promise you that the map (at least the one I downloaded) seems to be working just fine. Since there are several versions of the map on original post, I can't be assured as to which one is you are specifically referring to, but I would suggest that you may be having problems with simply installing the map in the first place, and placing the files in the wrong spot. BTW, I downloaded the "non-hardcore" Skyblock version 2.1, as that is the most recent version developed by Noobcrew.
I'd suggest creating a new map and then opening up your ".minecraft" folder to see how those files are organized and to see where everything goes.
I'm sorry I shall give more detail
