Ive been playing on this map for a few hours straight, but I'm having one significant problem. Sugar cane and pumpkins. I cant seem to find them, when everyone else has them. Any help?
EDIT: I found sugar cane in the Nether, but I'm still having problems with finding pumpkins.
Wait some time and try again. This map is popular enough that it seems to be hitting some bandwidth caps on whatever ISP Noobcrew is using to store the map file itself, thus sometimes people do seem to have problems being able to obtain it. Trust me when I say that there are people who can download the map every day, but problems downloading the map does seem to be a recurring theme.
Actually it is. Riddle: Two challenges are the key to obtaining the item that you seek.
Thanks, I'll have fun thinking about that.ED
EDIT: I only found one, and that told me s#!t, just to make 5 gold ingots. No hows or anything. I don't really know the Zombie Pigman spawning requirements, does that have something to do with it?
Quick question, this applies to the server or the map its self, how can I get animals to spawn such as cows, pigs, etc?
I already know how to make a mob trap, I just need animals to spawn.

Grass, light, distance, and time.
You need grass or no animals will spawn, ever.
You need daylight levels of light, or lots of torches.
You need to be 24 blocks away or more.
You then need to wait. And wait. It can easily take *weeks* in-game to get animals. When you do, they tend to spawn in groups. Then, herd them away from the spawn in their own area to get your actual farm going, and hope a new animal type spawns.

Will I be able to spawn villagers if I build a village?
No. Villagers only spawn when chunks are created (which isn't happening here) or 2 villagers get together (which can't happen here as you don't have any villagers to start with)
As bad as I feel about posting this as it's the first post I'm making on these forums (hopefully the beginning of a long and illustrious career in forum posting) I've been playing and recording my adventure on this map and feel like sharing it.
I'm always looking for suggestions, I'm trying to limit myself to recording maybe 1 or 2 videos per play so I don't miss out on other suggestions but love this map so can't help myself some times >.>

Actually, Villagers are also spawned when xamount of houses are built, however, I forgot how many houses per villager it was.
When playing on the server, dont forget you need the right biome. As you may spawn in a ocean/desert/river.
One thing I just found out about a river biome, is that snow golems leave a trail behind them in that biome. It turns out that on one of the Skyblock servers I have a swamp biome and a plains biome with a river biome in between running through my island. Having that little pocket of snow was a huge surprise to me and let me build a snow farm.
I would have preferred a Tiaga biome instead, but it is a pretty fair compromise all things considered. I just can't make ice though.
One slight problem on the server, need a mod to fix a grief where I am. They broke the cobble generator, no lava is left. Luckily my chest was protected, though.
I'll edit this when it's fixed. EDIT: Fixed by Kl3x, thanks!
I am proud to present to you skyblock 3.0 it is my own variation of skyblock. it doesn't have any goals or anything. it is just a map i made by deleting the skyblocks and then putting in my own blocks and creating a completely different looking island, that has many suprises such as a tall mysterious pillar, and large drop that has a small island at the bottom, a mysterious house and many many more suprises. Here is a download link. http://www.mediafire...xgjz9uy07is2rri
The mysterious pillar: The pillar is made of dirt then has a cobblestone room at the top that has a chest with some helpful materials inside,not going to tell you whats in the chest ;D.
The house: The house is suppose to be like my house, but enter IF YOU DARE!
The 'ledge': the 'ledge' is this part that jets out from the side. you have to take 'the plunge' to get to 'the ledge'.
The Plunge: A huge drop that has water at the bottom. Be careful though, the water sometimes turns into ice.
The center: the center of the world is full of lava just like the earth! Dig 3 blocks of dirt from the top of the island and you will get a surprise!
There is a secret area in the dirt house on 'the ledge', not to be confused with the mysterious house made out of wood, that is also on 'the ledge.'
Been playing for about an hour now!
Generator is covered by half slabs, stone stairs leading everywhere. Lost my pumpking seeds 2 melon patches no wheat yet tree farm water source 20+ torches etc.
When I joined the server for the first time, I was muted permanently for saying "Hello" twice after somebody else said 'Hello". I logged on an alt and asked for help for over 15 minutes - even PMing the Moderators. They never replied to me.
After about 20 minutes, I said "Moderators.. Omfg." and was permanently muted.
Get better moderators.
I wouldn't know crap about the moderators cause I can't get on the server, but knowing a lot of games this is true.
Also, I was in the nether to farm some gold, when- heh- a GHAST spawned. It blew up the portal blocks and then re-lit the portal.
EDIT: This has happened twice now, and note to Noobcrew, you should add some challenges involving Magma Cubes, since they spawn if you make an area.

EDIT: Oh, they don't anymore.
I have never played on the server, so I didn't forget that, I didn't know it.
