Changelog
Here is your list of changes for this reset. I'd recommend giving it a good read-over to make sure you're familiar with everything you're going to see.
🏛️ New! Spawn
A brand new season can not be properly started without a new map, therefore we will be introducing some brand new builds! This season we have decided to bring you all a medieval/castle/knight-themed map, we hope you all enjoy it.
Thanks to the feedback we received last season, we also have decided to resize the warzone of the map, as many of you thought it was too big for the number of players who were fighting, a reason which encouraged us to decrease its size for this season.

🌇 New! Custom Resource Pack
Classic skyblock will be the first server on the network where we will release a custom PikaNetwork resource pack, with this resource pack are we able to create and provide a lot of new content, from eventually adding new armor and tools and much more!
The texture pack is currently still in its early stages and will be mostly used to give things you will notice an aesthetic overhaul. Everything has been polished and given a much cleaner look.

🎩 New! Custom Hats

🏝️ Updated! Skyblock's version to 1.17
As mentioned above, classic skyblock will also be run within the latest version 1.17, this means we will have our second 1.17 game mode on PikaNetwork. It took quite a while for us to get all of our plugins and functions working properly and as they should be compatible with this new update.
You will be able to enjoy all of the newest blocks, mobs, and features that have been added within the latest update of Minecraft, this update adds amethyst geodes along with amethyst blocks and items, copper ore and its derived forms, deepslate, and its variants, as well as the goat, glow squid and axolotl mobs and much more.

A reset was needed to update everything to the latest version 1.17.
📊 Updated! Player Levels
We felt like the player levels did not fit with the classic skyblock economy.
This is why in this reset we took the time to completely rework the player levels and start from scratch again, all the levels were removed and we have created all levels again.
A lot of new tasks with new rewards have been implemented, and the progress will also make a lot more sense this reset.
🏷️ Updated! Item Renaming
Item renaming has been updated and can now be used on the following items: Shulker Boxes, shears, golden tools, name tags, elytras, banners, totems, maps, books…
  • Also fixed Renaming golden tools which was not working.

💰 Updated! Shops
This reset, we are making adjustments to the economy, because with the 1.17 release, a ton of new content like new mobs, new blocks, and much more it received a complete overhaul. We added over 100 new blocks into the shop. New loot, new categories, new blocks and so much more to find in this new update.
⚙️ Modified! Gameplay Aspects
After receiving some suggestions about changing a couple of these, we have decided to make the following removals in order to make everyone's Skyblock experience better. We have removed a few features which were present on the last map. Here is a list of those removals:
  • Removed the points system.
  • Changed the island team size from 20 default, upgradeable to 8 MAX.
  • Made the max island size 400 x 400.
  • Removed sell multiplier from sellwands.
  • Changed all mob drops prices
  • Removed the spawner value
🧰 Removed! Unstable Game Versions
With the new season, we have also decided to drop the support for any versions below 1.14.
Any versions below 1.14 would case glitchy items, things that will look out of place, and much more, we highly recommend joining with the latest version 1.17 for the best experience possible!

❓Questions & Answers
Why does Classic Skyblock reset?

Classic skyblock is already up for some time. A reset has to happen to change and improve with new features, to make the game more exciting for you all! This then allows you players to have a fresh start and new players can begin to play without any significant disadvantage.
This means all items, money, and the map will be reset. Nothing will be kept leftover from the previous map. Of course, all purchases will be reissued so nobody will be out of pocket in that regard. I know this must be a disappointing revelation for a lot of you, but think about the exciting new changes, the new alliances you can forge, the new map, the new features and updates the different kinds of gameplay, and style is provided with this update will surely make it a worth-while and exciting reset!
Below you can find what you will lose and one for what you will keep
What will I lose?
  • Your islands
  • All items in your inventory and ender chest
  • Any currencies such as money and exp
  • Chatcolor permissions.
  • Seasonal ranks and perks
What will I keep?
  • Purchased Ranks & Rank Upgrades
  • Purchased Perks
  • Won out of crates commands/ranks



We hope to see you on our new ClassicSkyblock server soon!
If you have feedback or any suggestion, let us know we'd love to make this as good as we can.

It wouldn't be ideal for gamemodes such as bedwars & skywars to update to 1.17 anyway
I mean to be honest I wouldn't like to see 1.17 on OPFactions, OPSkyblock, OPPrison and KitPvP as well since I don't think it would get good feedback from player base on those gamemodes

The reset seems very nice and I am excited to see it. However, I would really appreciate it if the PvP is made in the 1.8 style (without waiting between hits) rather than in the 1.17 style.

this seems great apart from the pvp...
if there is some way of implementing 1.8 pvp then that would improve the experience greatly
