SkyBlock 2.0/2.1 is now out!
Changes from SkyBlock 1.0/1.1 to SkyBlock 2.0/2.1:
Travel to the nether!
Make your way to the floating sand island.
Begin with a bucket of lava and a block of ice. (The other items are obviously spread out upon the sand island and the island in the nether)
More challenges to complete.
(The end dimension was not added in this update, because there was some problems and it would have only been available to 1.9 PR players, But it will be added in the future. )
Could you make the SMP spawn point on the island? or make a SMP version that would be nice
There are some plugins that let you set one spawn point. SMP spawn radius is 20x20, so making a 20x20 version of skyblock would make it less challenging. But I do plan on making a SMP version in the future, after I finish 2.0/2.1
if you want to include the nether just add 10 redstone to the chest and in the nether you could put precious stuff like iron gold redstone and possibly diamonds.
why iron? And I don't like putting stuff in that involves bugs, cause sooner or later it will be fixed. :]
Hmm. Maybe the bone too (or just a piece of bonemeal)? I think it would be kind'a helpful to be able to grow a 2nd tree to make a couple more stone tools(assuming there will be a tree near the spawn). But yeah, I think the seeds and such should be scattered on the separate islands
Took wrong picture it's suppose to be 1 ice block instead of 2. ( The 2nd Ice block will be in the nether) You can easily make a small platform in a few mins, kill a skeleton and you can get bonemeal that way. :tongue.gif:
Does this look like a good set of starting items in the chest for the next version? :tongue.gif: (The rest of the items are separated between the other islands)
:tongue.gif: a 1000x1000(approx) empty void-ness seems fine to me lol
Thats 300mbs for the main world, the end, and the nether. :tongue.gif: I think I made a 3000x3000 before to test it and it was 900mbs for the main world and the nether then it would be 450mbs more for the end. :dry.gif:
One question: If I expand the island far enough, will I eventually find other land, and if so how long might that take?
500-600 blocks away, It's impossible to not find land in minecraft lol wish I could make the area larger, but that would just make the file size bigger. :dry.gif:
I wonder if I have the right version, I donwloaded 1.1 but I have some redsotenes there, and I dont have melon seeds, its that ok?
you downloaded the previous version, I don't know how you missed it but it said:
PLEASE READ
Some of the 20 challenges, are not available in these previous versions as the chests include different items. Some people have requested the 1st versions that were made in minecraft beta 1.7.3, so I posted them here. If you would like to Play the current versions, they are above this spoiler..
Sooo Noobcrew,
This map is so much fun, that I have decided to finish the map in
1. The 1.8.1 update
2. the 1.9 release
3. In hardcore in both as well, Shall have 4 videos up soon for ya to see :happy.gif: is going to have fun for the next few days
Hey Noobcrew, if your reading this. Well I was just wondering, as the creator of the map you've obviously seen a lot of peoples ways of survival on our tiny place we call home, but I was just wondering if you've ever seen anyone split their lava like I've done . I was just curious if anyone has done this and you would be the perfect person to ask.
Thanks if you looked Noobcrew =)
Wow thats pretty cool, Weird how I was just listening to the same song that's in your video at the same time. So I was trying to find out where the noise was coming from lol.
That sounds good - but maybe since the distance between the main island/mainland is I think around 500 blocks each way, maybe it could be a bit more, maybe like 200 :tongue.gif: (100 cobblestone isn't really hard to make). Of course though your map :wink.gif:
Yeh I first had it at 200, but then changed it to 64 because there is no support under the sand, its just a floating sand block. So if people mess up, they don't have to make a huge amount of cobble to get back to it. :tongue.gif:
Since alot of people have been requesting other islands off in the distance, and more sand. I was thinking of one sand island 50-100 blocks away from the main island to add to the next version of SkyBlock which will be released on the weekend. What do you guys think?
(I don't think im going to add any dirt islands as I think the amount of dirt already on the main island, is reasonable)
How did this map get so popular? I remember when it was still in its fledgeling stage and I didn't download it because it looked like a really lazy attempt to make a survival map. Am I the only one to still not have downloaded it?
This map has gotten so popular by captainsparklez, and being posted on the home page of minecraft.fr, minecraftforum and reddit. I don't think you would appreciate it at all if I went to your map and said that your map looks like a really lazy attempt at survival island, that comment was somewhat disrespectful to me and believe it or not I actually did put alot of thought into SkyBlock then you could imagine, for example the amount of dirt (1.0 is harder (around 25 dirt) and 1.1 is easier (around 75 dirt) ), a small amount of items but with tons of possibilities, 1 sand to make the challenge of cactus green dye harder, and so on...

Very detailed, thank you for the review and taking your time to write some tips that will be helpful to people that are confused. :smile.gif:

Make sure the area that you want the mobs to spawn is 24 blocks away.
