Am I being dumb? The enchanting table and jukebox both require diamonds to craft, but I don't know of any way to obtain them. The villagers in 1.7 (and 1.8 for that matter) will buy diamonds, but they don't sell them. There's nothing to mine obviously. Just wondering if I'm missing something (not out of the question by any means!)....

thanks for a great update/homage though!
Normal skyblock has no way of getting diamonds without bridging out to the mainland.
I'm guessing you haven't reached the end yet/haven't seen the end (you can get diamonds in the end).
Finally got back to recording after the "New Puppy" chewed most of the wires in the home office
Here is our first episode of "The End of Skyblock". I hope we do your map proud...most-likely won't, but we can hope (We're running it on a Minecraft 1.7.10 private server)
After a quick poke around, this looks like a very nice "just updated enough" skyblock. One minor suggestion / quibble: now that we can make mossy stone and mossy brick in 1.8, vines are more valuable. If I recall correctly, the only way to get vines in this map are off a jungle tree, and if my tests are correct, only the 2x2 trees generate vines.
Since getting four jungle saplings from the initial two is very much luck-based, what about either increasing the jungle sapling count, or putting a vine in one of the bonus chests? Maybe replace the lapis block in the 1.8+ version of the map with a vine, since 1.8 priests will sell lapis shards?
In any case, thanks for putting this together! Now I can use the newer features without cheating.

Thanks for a great revamp of Skyblock!
Enjoy!
Thanks, guys. This video looks great, much better than your prior start!!
I like the edited-together style, better I think than a split-view or something. Keep it going!

Glad you like it!
Didn't I put 2 jungle saplings in the chest? I thought that was an OK compromise between the need to get 4 and the risk of low drops.
We will have to do a lot of testing for a 1.8 version of this map, since enchanting and trading has been totally revamped. I'm not sure all what changes will be necessary, I'm not going to start testing until 1.8 is finalized/out.
Sorry for the lack of updates to my Let's Play series, I was out of town for a couple weeks! Here is my latest episode where I start my village/iron farm:
hi, just started with minecraft and i'm having a problem with this map, i hit the button in the beggining and it does nothing, soo i cant get teleported to the island and start to play, anyone had this problem or just me?

I hope the new update won't need us to start from scratch...I don't know if I can grind all that cobble again...

Hello everyone! I'm back with more episodes. This time I built the mob farm and gold farm in a rather quick pace and get started with setting up the iron farm.

Hello everyone! I'm back with another episode. This time, I try on some designs that would be good for the central hub area of my island and talked a little bit about updates on the map and such.
Plus a sneak peek of what's to come in the next episode:
When its released for 1.8 snasphots plz add a slime block island.
PS:I use 14w32d.
Right now you can spawn slimes either in the swampland biome, or in any of the nearby slime chunks. I don't know for sure exactly what I'm going to do for 1.8, but since we can already get slimes, there isn't much need to include a new "island" for that, in my opinion.
So I'm working on a small update with some very minor changes (removing the bed is the main change).
Tannah (check out his let's play series of this map here) found that at least one of the original chests is a trapped chest (the one on the End portal island, I think). Anyone else found any issues that need fixed in the current version?
Has anyone made it to the end yet, and want to give some feedback (in a spoiler tag, or via private message)?
I'm up to episode 15 of my Let's Play / Director's Commentary, check out the whole series here:

One of the nearby slime chunks is in a Flower Forest biome and I tried building below y=40 and it didn't work, but when I built out to the nearest slime chunk in a Plains biome, it spawned naturally. Could someone verify if the slime chunks would be erased if you mcedited in a biome with a supposed slime chunk in it, or was it just me?
thanks for a great update/homage though!

(No, haven't been to the end yet... working on villager trading and was going over the challenge list and was puzzled.)

I'll just be posting the links here because the thumbnails has spoilers...
Started a series on your map and I am really liking it so far. 5 episodes up already, check it out!
If you enjoy, maybe add it to the front post to share it around?
Cheers!

Pretty much classic custom map survival I played in Beta!
Thanks for bringing it back!

I'm still working on a few challenges. I still need a Dog and to fight the Wither Boss to get the beacon.
