Update SkyBlock - Reset | May the 16th 2025

Hello, dear PikaNetwork players.

We are excited to tell you that the new season of SkyBlock is right around the corner.
We will be making some improvements to overall gameplay, server performance, PvP and more!

Are you ready to see what we’ve got planned for you? Read the forum post to know what we have in store for you!

L update. They ruined the PvP first they then are complaining enough players weren't playing. Total L update.

c s b reset

Hopefully there would be a build competition every season to make this gamemode much more interesting

A “meh” reset… skyblock needs reverting back to like 2-3 seasons ago. The last 2 good seasons were the Jungelo key and the Knight key seasons. Back to when we could trade/ sell heads. Back to when we had crate drops in PvP. Back to when sellwands wasn’t classed as a “rare item”. Back to when having 1billion meant you were rich…

Bring back “CLASSIC” skyblock!
Seeing players have hundreds of trillions just makes it feel like OPSB2.0.

That's what I told to theimo, he simply replied You guys wanted this, decide your mind. When I asked who is the "you guys" I didn't get a response. Each season they are ruining SkyBlock.

He claims that SkyBlock was dead when PvP was 1.16 ofcourse a gamemode will die if it lacks something to do. All the other gamemodes are only alive because of payouts. Remove payouts non will play opfac , opsb or SkyMines.

Just bring back the first season of classic SkyBlock when everyone just started non knew what to do. Everyone was here to have fun. The community was enjoyable and fun unlike the current community.

Also there SkyBlock wasn't dead till you forced it to die. You can't blame the people for not playing a gamemode which has no use.

(I only said the first part to you)

This is such a copied message...
I mean what is a clan in SkyBlock lol
yeh fixed

JustThiemo what part do you disagree on regarding my comment?
No one asked to make sellwands harder to get.
No one asked for crate drops to be removed.
No one asked for heads to be removed and the ability of trading/selling heads to be removed.
No one asked for the economy to go into the trillions.
Why remove things that didn’t need to be removed?
Granted, there was problems with heads now and then, but they could have been fixed so easily.
Skyblock was fine as it was in the 2022/23 season and before.
Skyblock needs to be classic again, a nice fun, chilled out game mode.
And I can assure you 99% of long time players will agree.
I’ve been on pika network since 2014, and only mained Classic skyblock.
What if we put up a poll to ask the players what they really want? As all the devs are doing is assuming these changes makes the game better, when in reality, it’s making it worse and less fun.

Usually we do not reply in a public section of a reset, but I feel like this is needed to for once and all end the discussion about how SkyBlock is 'no longer classic skyblock', and the reasoning about certain choices we have made.
TL;DR (too-long didn't read):
SkyBlock changes are made for longevity and sustainability, not just based on nostalgia. Many requested features have already returned.
Player preferences vary, so updates aim to balance content and keep the game engaging.

Heads are already back this season, so are drops in the new warzone. These heads are again used to re-unlock a spawner after purchasing it
Drops will contain small durability sellwands, so I don't see what's wrong with this new season, we don't assume, we verify what we do in a reset. A reset post is merely a small summary of big things to expect, small things are not always mentioned as the forum posts would be too big and nobody would even read them.

SkyBlock was never fine in the early days, it was full of bugs and balance issues, we have no patched those and resolved it, economy with higher numbers is better for longevityof a gamemode, which is what we are going for with SkyBlock. The '99% of players will agree' is a statement made out of thin air, the playercount was higher as Minecraft was more popular (which was due to a worldwide lockdown, and people stuck around), with that popularity declining, so is the amount of players.

SkyBlock was never 'Classic' SkyBlock, because the classic skyblock experience is with a cobblestone generator and no server shop, so asking to go back to 'Classic' SkyBlock is also a question that does not make sense. Just because the amount of money you can obtain is higher than what it was back in the day doesn't make it a different gamemode, this happens with every gamemode, and every game, even outside of Minecraft, the longer you have something, the more features you need to add to make it interesting, the more a gamemode is inflated, we can't simply make everything less, it needs to be balanced around the content, that is called 'power creeping' if you want to learn more about it, here's an article about it: [CLICK]. We can only go back to original numbers if we cut down on features, which would make the gamemode way more stale than the standard players expect to have in a gamemode nowadays.

And then to answer you last question, 'why don't we do what the players want', if only it was that simple, you and your friends are different type of players than lets say Larry and Barry who do not actively use chat, or forums, or Discord, and solely play SkyBlock without saying a word. There is no 'what players want', because each player has a different playstyle, we do what is best to keep a gamemode sustainable for us and for the players.

So yes, I disagree with the statements you have made regarding the SkyBlock gamemode, we are already returning a bunch of features we have missed with the 1.20.4 update we did (2 seasons ago). And they have now returned, the newest season, 2 seasons ago, was one of the bests ones we have had for (C)SB in years, and this is all purely based on statistics.


If you have any other questions or concern, feel free to send me a message on Discord, or tag me in the public Discord and I am happy to talk about why we make certain choices.

You didnt even try it out man, its literally 1.8.9 stuff in 1.20 it cant be the same just try it first it will surely be cool, if not go skymines
Also auto clicker not illegal for no reason breh
You underestimate 1.8.9, theres S tap, W tap, strafing, jump reset, block hit, etc. skill is also needed -_-

I did try it out I played it 2 years and I joined Skyblock because I quitted it as my hands were only spamming even in modern pvp so I quitted it plus all skyblockers can master it in 15 mins it easy to master

Plus most Skyblock players are quitting because of this update I have many people in my friend list on dc and all say to me we are quitting this update is bad and I want them and me to play

Switching to 1.8.9 pvp is dumb I played the first ssn after it switched to 1.16 some of the best gaming experiences It had daily battles between teams, grinding skyblock for just to get gear to pvp. Huge islands with wierd Redstone machines making pots and like public rng machine in which you drop heads for random stuff (my island was never first in spawners but felt lively and fun with lot of member)
Ofc most of the people i met there are now inactive so it could never be the same but I'm sure switching to 1.16 is what bought the plr count from 5-10 to 35+ players (trust me 90% of the players were there to fight ppl) . There were battles between the og 1.8 guys with tons of gear and newer skilled but broke 1.16 mains ofc something like that can never happen in the current situation. Still 1.16 pvp is vital part of the gamemode just bring back a huge pvp arena remove bosses or make them not attack the players having a serious battle. Also please add back the anti cheat and don't forget escaping 5v1 requires skill and is just not as simple deciding to run out of pvp. Every ssn since then you removed the features that made csb csb.
Thank you.,
(My team owned ssn1 if you don't agree your delulu)

I rarely active in forums but I just want to say something since the very thing that make it a csb is no longer a csb like others mentioned.

As someone who used to play in pika csb where back in 2014 era, there's no such thing as opsb mode. Just sb. Having a huge time gap of not playing in between giving me a huge feels in changes.

But yeah. I agree. It wasn't feel like a proper skyblock mode anymore. And also why it has the most least active player on it.

What I really wish is that the island top level is actually based on how huge someone island is and from what material it is build from. More expensive blocks gives higher xp per block when placed. Instead of using spawner as top rank.

And also just remove the ability to buy food from shop. Just put sell options on it so that farm actually means something. Nowdays now one bother building a farm because how easy it is to fill hunger and farm also is worthless to build. Which making skyblock has one less purpose to enjoy.

Old skyblock server I used to enjoy has economy build around farms and grinder without spawner. Mobs actually spawn in island so you had to keep everything illuminated or you'll be attacked.

Dying from falling into void is real. That what makes the skyblock it is. Avoid falling into void while trying to survive.


Ranks isn't easily obtainable. Only real donators can have them and they really worth to have because of the /fly command. Nowdays those ranks seems kinda useless to have unless you have high tier rank. Back then even lowest tier rank already powerful. But now ? Skyvip isn't worth having. Ssnl skyvip is almost trash due how easily to get ssnl ones instead of perm.

And oh. About economy based on farms ? It makes people actually build something in their island just to get rich. You could see every island has at least basic farm because of the mats that required only obtainable through manual farm instead of shops and also used to complete a challenge for rewards. As a bonus you also get foods from it. But now all you can see just massive chest tower and massive stacked spawner just to generate money. Skyblock can ve played just less than a week and then you have no other more goals to do because you already completed it. Max personal lvl already reached. Warden spawner is obtainable through someone that sells them and started to make their own money generator with it. Then all it took just building massive chest tower that leads to extreme fps drop. Well. That what you had to sacrifice for money. And after that ? It just skyrocket afterwards since all you had to do just have a wand and click the chest to sell.

And oh. About the money. It started to become worthless after a while you have so much money. Everybody had the same amount. Getting money become so easy that it started to feel useless having them. Sure you can use it to buy building blocks and again. It is useless as building your island gives no rewards or whatsoever. So people just have a basic platform and build bunch of chest tower and spawner grinder instead. No netherwarts farm. No wheat farms. No cacti farm where you can sell for money. They're worthless and wasting time to build.

So in the ends all that money just accumulating for nothing but buying donator daily kits from anyone that has those and even those ssnl rank kit. All of that for pvp anyway. And oh. Cobble gen is literally useless which was the main core component of why it is skyblock in the first place.

And about the cobble gen. You can sell the ores that generated through it to the shop since they sells for a very good prices. And you can't buy them in shop. Only their block form except for coals. They're cheap.

Even better that because old days use sign shop. You can found some inside pvp area and only people that willing to risk it can sell inside for higher price instead of using normal /sell or spawn sign shop.
