    how do you get to the sand island before night i just can't do that -.- at night enderman keep stealing my sand and sand island just falls down AAAAGGGHHHH!!!

    ps: i restarted map 14 times (yes i actually DID restarted it 14 times(!!!) (3 useless hours).
    pps: please don't tell me to read FAQ on the first page 'cause it doesn't contain any useful info.


    You're dead wrong on that, but I'll help you anyway.

    Break 4 of the wood in the tree. Make them all in to planks (16 planks) and make a workbench (you have 12 planks now). Then make some wood from 2 planks (10 planks left, 4 wood) and make a wooden pickaxe (Still have 7 planks and 2 wood).

    Place the lava and the ice block so they have 2 blocks between them, against the side of your island. on the side facing the sand island. Place a dirt block above and another below the ice block. Break the ice block. Between the now-water block and the lava block you should get some cobble. Dig down in the dirt so that cobble is in front of your face.

    Use the wooden pickaxe to break 3 cobbles, and then go back to your workbench and make a stone pickaxe. use that stone pickaxe until it's gone, and you should have 100 or so cobbles.

    You should still have plenty of time, so ride the water down 6 blocks and make a ledge. Get on that ledge and then build a thin bridge all the way over to the sand island. You should be low enough to be below the sand island. Make a platform, then stand back and break one of the sands. The rest (and the cactus) will fall. take the cactus, empty the chest, and if you have time take the sand, but the sun will likely be setting.

    After this you're on your own.

    what happens when we built a suicide bridge to main land?


    Then the purpose of the map is short-circuited and it gets boring.

    In short: Don't do it. It ruins the experience.

    yes it needs more light. Everything else looks fine. Just get a torch in there and it will turn into a tree in less than 30 minutes.

    A single tree could take days and days to grow, even with a torch. There is no maximum time it will take. Could be 10 seconds, could be 50 minecraft days.
    Adding a torch will double the chances of your tree growing, because it will allow your tree to grow at night. The only way to increase the chances of growing a tree is to increase the saplings. 3 saplings will produce 1 tree much faster than 1 sapling will.

    How do we get animals to spawn? I made a cobblestone platform, then put all my dirt down on it. Grass has grown on all of it, and i used bonemeal to make tall grass and flowers over the whole thing. There is also light in the way of torches and lots of sunlight.

    Similarly, animals could spawn 10 seconds after you put the grass down, or take 50 days (or more) to spawn. It's totally random. Also similarly, the more grass you have, the more likely you'll get some animals. Note: Animals need to be at least 24 (I go 30 just to make sure) meters away from you before they'll spawn.

    I made a spot for zombie pigmen to spawn in the nether and stayed there but none of them spawned does anyone know why this is happening also i was 24 blocks away


    I made a 30-meter tall tower just next to the portal, with a 9x9 platform at the top. It spawned so many pigmen that I got my gold requirement in less than 5 minutes.

    Thanks and sorry for my bad english... Yes "ice"...
    I understand SpeeDCoRe big thanks !

    "If the ice block doesn't have a block underneath it, it disappeares." You teach me something ! I did not know it !


    This map is *supposed* to be hard. Every step of the way should be difficult. You have proven that the map does exactly what it's supposed to do.

    How about this?

    :cobblestone: :cobblestone: :--+: :cobblestone:
    :Furnace: :Furnace: :cobblestone: :cobblestone:


    :cobblestone: :cobblestone: :cobblestone: :cobblestone:

    The furnace is a sticky piston, extended to the right (which is why it's two blocks wide). The torch needs to be attached to one of the walls, not the bottom block. The piston needs to be powered, and then you set up your redstone so as to cut power to it when you flip your switch. The piston will then pull the block back, revealing the torch. Or, if your mob trap has open air above it, you could instead let sunlight in.

    how would the pig zombies spawn in the Nether if there is only a small 9x9 island? use cobblestone?


    You can make a mob spawner in the Nether just like you did in the regular world.

    You can't use water to push them around, but if there are enough of them, they'll fall anyway.

    hmmm, That's odd. It works for one of my friends that downloaded it. I'll look into it.

    I'm goin to sleep now, so I won't reply until Morning.


    I opened it in mcedit and there's NOTHING. Just void and a spawn.

    Also, the world is named "World80" and not "Aero" or something like that. Maybe you uploaded the wrong save?

    I seem to be having the problem in single player that you say happens in multiplayer.

    Spinning around as I fall, i don't even see any islands.

    Ok this is the problem im on the phanmatic minecraft server and my skyblock island is going pretty well. i Want some passive mobs to spawn on my island but they just wont
    iv got 8X8 grass which is fully lit and iv managed to move 30 blocks away from it.So, why wont they spawn?


    It could take days (in-game). In about 10 or so Minecraft days, I got 2 groups of passive mobs to spawn, some sheep and some pigs.

    we need at least 1 iron ingot for flint and steel (portal)
    i know its possible to get lava to light a block net to the obsidian and make hope it spreads to obsidian (like 1:1000 as its a stone) but...

    ...yeah


    Weird, I got it to work 2 out of the 3 times I tried. Within a few minutes it either worked or the first wood block burned away. I simply placed another wood block, and the next time the portal lit.

    I suspect that everybody else's experiences are similar.

    There HAS to be a new Skyblock for the 1.1 update.
    Have a pair of each mob eggs in chests.

    Imagine being able to breed animals in Skyblock!


    You can breed animals now. Animals spawn very rarely, but if you get a patch of grass 30 blocks away from your main living area (just like your hostile mob spawner) and keep it lit (so no bad guys spawn) and you should get some animals within a few minecraft days.

    Yeah... I wanted to avoid doing something like that cause I didn't want a giant pillar of water in my map, but it seems like I will have to resort to that. I may just break out the floor of my covered lake to do this though.


    I made a 64x64 lake. Took forever to build, but it has squid in it more often than not. You need a boat to effectively hunt them, though :smile.gif:

    So now "bug" is a technical term that only applies to insects? This is news to me.


    Yes.

    From the article: "Hemiptera is an order of insects most often known as the true bugs, comprising around 50,000–80,000 species of cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and others."
