Has the new skyblock come out for minecraft 1.2.5 or have you stopped publishing
Noobcrew hasn't posted here for a couple of months (or anywhere else in the Minecraft forums for that matter), but that doesn't really matter.
This is a map, and maps aren't tied to a specific version of Minecraft. This map is becoming increasingly out of date as new features are added to the game like the cocoa beans dropping from jungle trees (jungle trees aren't even on this map), a lack of villagers, and other small things that could certainly be added to this map. But that is more added blocks and doing new kinds of things. The basic challenge that this map offers is still available and will likely be something you can do in the future. Almost all maps from earlier versions of Minecraft can be used in the current version of Minecraft. Backward compatibility is something both Notch and the current set of Minecraft developers have worked toward, where people playing on maps generated with Alpha versions and sometimes earlier are still actively being played upon today.
if you build to the main land in this map if you luky. you will find a fortress

Could someone tell me where the stone is? If you need a cobblestone generator, and you need the ice, crap. I used it when I wanted my trees to grow, because I can be a bit of a noob sometimes.

You need the ice, or more importantly the water it becomes. I don't know how you "used" it for the tree, but if it's gone, you cannot complete anything for this map.
Start over from scratch, is the best option I believe.

So I was playing the 2.1 map and I was at the point where I needed to make a path to the sand island and start farming. So I build a one block wide bridge to it, grab the pumpkin/melon seeds and obsidian and break down the chest, grab the cactus and I put them all in my original chest, after expanding it with the second. Then I take my bucket, grab the water and place it next to the sand island on the bridge in order to scaffold and create a platform underneath, all textbook stuff. After walking back to put my ever-so-precious bucket away, I accidentally hit my lava in the cobblestone generator, and because my hunger bar was deteriorating and health was low from fall damage I die before making it back to my water that's now on the bridge. Still it's no big deal. All that was in my possession at the time of death was half a stack of cobble and 2 torches. But then I respawn, and the entire sand island is gone.
Can anyone explain this or am I just the victim of an unfortunate glitch? I haven't left anything out in the story, that's all that happened to the best of my knowledge.
Edit: Also, this was during the day, so I don't believe it could have been an endermen. Unless he somehow spawned during the night, then was teleporting around for a while where I couldn't see him at all, and then grabbed the block while I was away to drop the whole island.
Wow amazing job on this!!! my only question is how did you come up with this idea? ITs GENIOUS!!!
I have to thank captain sparklez for getting me into skyblock also. YOU ROCK SPARKLEZ!!!!!

No, this wasn't endermen (although I would love to have a single torch on the sand island to keep them from running off with sand blocks). The problem here is likely where you placed the water. If you had the water or any other block touching the sand except directly under the stack of sand (with hopefully some cobblestone), the sand is going to fall down.
The problem is the issue of "block updates" where a "change in state" also triggers an evaluation of all nearby blocks as well. This can be Redstone, a Piston, or anything else which changes states... which unfortunately also includes water blocks.
If you try this again, I'd suggest placing the water block at least two blocks from the sand, or at least have a space between the sand and anything else you place until you can get under the sand. Sometimes sand behaves a little weird, where it doesn't trigger the sand to fall even if you take a block out. When that happens or like when you originally placed the water, consider yourself lucky.
For myself, I like to build down near the original dirt island and then build across to the sand island afterward. It is nice doing that to also collect all of the dirt as well, so it deals with both islands at the same time.

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.)

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.

Why isn't my hunger changing? I've been playing for 50 minutes straight but my hunger haven't changed a bit. I moved and dig and DID TONS of stuff, so don't think I just stood there, but my hunger isn't decreasing.
That's why you get there and clear it out in the first day
