THIS IS THE OLD GUIDE PLEASE SEE THE UPDATED ONE HERE

What is Skyblock and how do I play?

Skyblock is a survival based gamemode. When you join Skyblock for the first time, your island is automatically generated, and you can start your island world.

Your initial island size is 100x100 blocks. You can expand this under the island upgrades in your /island panel. You can upgrade through the levels up to a level 3 with an island size of 200x200. The maximum island size you can attain is 500x500 which you can buy from the Snapcraft store using /Buy.

You also don’t have to play alone. You can invite friends to join you on your island and build an impressive Skyblock island together. Initially you can have up to 5 members, including yourself, on your island. The number of teammates can be increased in your island panel up to a maximum of 50.

Getting started:

On your island – you have an inbuilt cobble generator and one starter chest. With your starter chest, you have a few basics to help you get started.

You get a mystery scroll in your starter chest. These range from Common to Special

Helpful hint: If you accidentally turn your lava into obsidian, you can right click the obsidian with a bucket to get your lava back

Your island panel:

To open this panel, simply type /island or /is

Here we have your island panel. As the leader of your island this is where you can configure various island settings.

Job System

The job system is a way for you to earn money while doing things you normally do. You can enlist in 3 jobs at any one time and you can change these up to suit what you are doing at the time.

Alongside money, you get points and job exp. These points can be redeemed in /jobs shop for a variety of items such as armor, tools, spawners, and netherite!
There are currently 17 different jobs to choose from whilst playing skyblock:
- Woodcutter - You chop and plant trees for money
- Miner - You mine ores and minerals - placing ores makes you lose money

Tokens and Custom enchants

Enchant tokens are a currency used to get custom enchants on your items. There are various ways to obtain them, such as mining, killing mobs, crates, and exchanging money or exp. In-game you can exchange 100 enchant levels for 500 tokens or $50,000 for 350. This can be done by using /enchant.

Atlas


In Skyblock, we have a boss you can fight called Atlas. To get to Atlas, you will need to activate an Atlas’ Boss token. To get this token, it is a rare, random drop from cobble generators or mob grinders. It has been recently added to the /jobs shop as a reward for you to buy. It’s important to note that you cannot receive the token when you have a full inventory.

The Atlas boss drops a key which you can open at the Atlas crate to get a variety of rare and useful drops, such as spawner pickaxes, Atlas armor, crate keys and minions.

Minions

Minions are little NPCs you can have on your island to automate various tasks. Currently there are 5 different types of minion.
- Miner – Auto mines blocks from a cobble generator

- Lumberjack – Will chop down and replant trees

- Fisher – Auto fish at a pond

- Farmer – Harvests and replants crops

- Slayer – Auto slays mobs

Hoppers

You can’t craft hoppers on skyblock, instead they are listed in the shop, there are 2 types of hoppers. Vanilla hoppers and Super hoppers. The super hoppers start at level one and can be found under the ‘Special’ tab in the shop. A level 1 hopper picks up items within a 5x5x5 area with the center being where the hopper is placed. This radius increases with each level up to level 4. You can set up an item filter, on these hoppers by shift and right-clicking the hopper and adding the item into the item blacklist.

Artifacts

When grinding mobs or mining, you may also get a random drop of an artifact.

These are rare items that you can sell to others or at /warp artifact. There are a total of 27 artifacts which you can sell for anywhere between $5,000 and $25,000 for a single artifact.

Trading and Selling items

Selling items is the main way of making money here on Skyblock and there are a few ways that you can do that:

Chest shops allow for players to buy (or sell) a specific item in that chest. Chest shops require $1,500 to create and the way you create a chest shop is by typing the command:

/chestshop create <Amount> <Sell price> <Buy price> Then you click the chest with the item you want to buy/sell

You need to input a value for both the sell and the buy price, if you don't want to buy items, just set it as 0.
Auction houses are where you can sell individual items rather than selling in bulk as done with a chest shop. To list an item on the Auction House, you have to pay a small fee of $50.00 to sell an item. To view the auction house and the items being sold, you use the command /ah.

The number of items you are allowed to list at one time depends on your rank. To list an item, you use the command /is sell <Price> - This will list the item in your hand for others to purchase for 24 hours. After that, the sale will expire, and you can retrieve the item by doing /ah expired.
Player trades are commonly used to trade specific items, such as tools and spawners. You initiate a trade by either /trade <Username> or by simply shift right clicking the player you want to trade with.

You can accept or deny a trade by clicking on the [ACCEPT] or [DENY] in chat or by doing /trade accept/deny. Once in the trade, each player can put their items in and click the red glass at the bottom. Once both players have accepted and the red glass turns green, there is a 3 second timer until the trade is complete. This gives you the chance to back out of the trade in-case you change your mind.
The sell chest is a new addition to skyblock. It allows you to automatically sell mob loot and farmables without you having to go into the shop directly.

It will sell all the items at shop price and works best with a super hopper (If you have it at your grinders!).

You can obtain these from the vote crate or by the legendary crate at the spawn.
