Sorry if I got my details confused. I always thought the floating sand was the original. In any case, it's by far my favorite, for the reasons I mentioned before. I'm a latecomer to Skyblock and even Minecraft in general. I resisted playing it at first because I had no clue what to do, and now I think it's like the highest form of Minecraft. I play on multiplayer Skyblock servers too, on Noobcrew's server even, but nothing beats the single player map experience. Mob spawning isn't all that reliable, or available without a spawner, on a lot of servers.
Are you sure you actually added the new floating islands... because I can't find them!! Please Halp! I've gone 100+ blocks in every direction including up and down and in the nether and now I'm starting to veer diagonally and can't find anything but clouds.

Thanks so much for this idea! After a bit of work, I managed to implement it with only 8 command blocks, where only 6 are active all the time. I'll probably update the map tomorrow. The current setup is that when a mob gets hurt (because targeting naturally spawned dead mobs is impossible) there will be a 1/20 chance of dropping. This should result in getting the item once per two mobs or so (with fists, so using better damaging tools will get you even less items). This does mean that by instant killing the mobs you wont get any items at all.
I dont know how to get blazes, they spawn in the nether and you spawn in a box of nothingness, you need to do something about this.

You can still spawn in blazes. Since you know the seed (by doing /seed) you can look up where a nether fortress is supposed to spawn, make a platform there, and wait for blazes to spawn.

We just hit 10,000 downloads! Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate it that so many people play a map that's just skyblock with a few new features
One thin I always thought the original skyblock needed was an enchanting table to go along with the bookshelves we have to make. You should consider adding that if you do another update to the map.
I have checked this map out and want to give it a try. 3 beefs I have with it though are this,
1. Snow Biome for the main island is a must otherwise just take the snow challenge out altogether, no one is going to build a 1000 long slab walkway just to get snows balls
2: Same as above but with the nether, the main spawn has to be a Fortress otherwise grinding Wither skulls is simply never going to be worth it to anyone.
3: If you did indeed add tiny islands I have not seen them and they 100% should be visible from the main spawn otherwise no one is going to wander for years for them. If you want this map to be popular you need to make it both fun and accessible it is already challenging enough for most.
I do love this map and that is has been updated but those are my main issues. The amount of stuff you will be able to do with Skyblock now with Villagers alone is going to be amazing.
Always loved SkyBlock, except for one thing, and that is that the challenges having been listed online, or being printed out, never was enough for me. I wished that the challenges were made into Achievements, to be added to the Achievement file in the SkyBlock world. Can you mod the SkyBlock world, so that when somebody makes a Bed, or cooks some Stone to make into 40 Stone Bricks, that an Achievement would pop up on screen, and added to the file? You could also delete ones out of the Achievement file, like making 1000 Rails, for traveling 1000 blocks from start. Even Sky Factory needs an updated Achievement file, going beyond the vanilla one. THANKS so much for keeping SkyBlock alive. Really need the pop-up achievements really bad, before I can download this. Been playing this since Oct 2011.
I am going to try playing with Achievement files in test worlds, but it requires, either modding Minecraft, or editing the JSON file. I have a link to Minecraft Achievements on the wiki site > http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Achievements
I've been trying to get squid to spawn with no success. I have followed the rules according to the Wiki with regards to the levels at which the squids spawn, but it has been hours with not one single squid. I put the lake at least 24 blocks away from the spawn point with the lowest level of the lake at 59 and the top at 62. Has the Squid AI changed with Minecraft 1.10.2? I opened one of my vanilla single player games and there are no squids in the plains biomes there either. Am I doing something wrong?

In one of the islands.
You are very short with 100 blocks.

Nevermind. Now playing the updated 3.04, restarted from scratch.
You should have had a brown mushroom and a red mushroom in your starting chest. I hope you didn't eat them.
There are multiple tiny islands which have a designated biome

How do you get to the End?
Also, what do you think about having a witch hut on one of the islands to build a witch farm?
Go to the nether; there you'll find end portal blocks

I agree with the 3rd point, but I don't think the 1st and 2nd points are good; it's better have these islands closer, though.
