We've designed it to be user-friendly, making it easy for players to navigate and make trades with ease.
This plugin is the perfect solution for those looking to trade rare or hard-to-find items with other players.
We know how important trading is in many games, and we're thrilled to bring it back to our community.
We've made sure that this plugin is secure and free from any exploits, making it a safe option for players who want to trade.
New! Anti Cheat
Following exhaustive testing, we are convinced that this new anti-cheat system is a significant upgrade from its predecessor. The improved mechanism guarantees a more equitable and satisfying gaming experience.

Updated! Runes
In this season, we will make minor adjustments to the Runes to ensure their overall balance.
Our aim is to reposition certain Runes across tiers.
These changes are very minor but we feel like it will make a good difference for OpSkyBlock as a whole.
Rune tier changesGolden - Moved to Epic Tier
Pocket - Moved to Godly Tier
Rune level changesVoodoo - Decreased to max level 3
Endurance - Decreased to max level 3
Updated! Spawner Upgrades
We've made some changes to the Spawner Upgrades to maintain a healthy economy and ensure a level playing field for all players.
To accomplish this, we've modified the prices of the upgrades, decreased the maximum level cap, and reduced the maximum multiplier.
These adjustments will help balance the value of Spawner Upgrades in the in-game economy, making them accessible to all players without creating an unfair advantage for those with greater resources.
The new spawner upgrades are as followed:
Upgrade Level I 500 Heads - Exp drops x1.25 | Upgrade Level II 1,000 Heads - Mob drops x1.25 | Upgrade Level III 2,200 Heads - Spawn amount x1.25 | Upgrade Level IV 3,300 Heads - Exp drops x1.5 | Upgrade Level V 4,400 Heads - Mob drops x1.5 |
Upgrade Level VI 5,500 Heads - Spawn amount x1.5 | Upgrade Level VII 6,600 Heads - Exp drops x2.0 | Upgrade Level VIII 7,700 Heads - Mob drops x2.0 | Upgrade Level IX 8,800 Heads - Spawn amount x2.0 | Star Upgrade 10,000 Heads - Exp drops/Mob drops/Spawn amount x2.5 |
Players with a SkyMaster rank will now also be able to purchase any available upgrade within a spawner with the click of one button, rather than having to manually upgrade each tier. With this change we hope to make the SkyMaster rank match its value we intended it to have.
Updated! LeaderboardsWe've added more leaderboards to our server, and we now have daily leaderboards too!
Leaderboards track different aspects of gameplay, including player stats and more. With these leaderboards, you can see how you stack up against other players in various categories, and track your progress over time.
We're also excited to introduce our new daily leaderboards. These leaderboards refresh every day and track the top players in various categories for that day.
This means that players have a chance to see their names on the leaderboard every day and compete for daily rewards.
We believe that these new leaderboards will add a new level of competition to our server and give players even more reasons to play and improve their skills. It's also a great way to track your progress and see how you're improving over time.
Updated! Mob MasteryAnother needed update is an update to Mob Masteries that will add more value to your gameplay experience!
We have worked hard to make significant changes to the masteries, making them more rewarding and beneficial for players.
As part of this update, we've removed one of the masteries completely to streamline the system and make it easier for players to upgrade the remaining two. This change means that players can now focus their efforts on upgrading the two remaining Mob Masteries, which have been revamped to offer greater rewards and benefits than ever before.
Decreased mob kills needed
The amount of mobs needed to be killed to earn a mastery point has been reduced to 2,000 instead of 3,000. Making it a bit easier to earn these mastery points for everyone.
Removed Mob Strife Mastery
We feel like Mob Strife currently in its state has no extra value to offer for players to be upgraded, so in order not to make people waste their precious mastery points on something that isn't helping at all we have decided to remove this mastery for now.
Level and price changes
We also have changed the prices for the other 2 masteries and ensured that they are worth your price. The maximum levels have also been reduced to 4 instead of 5.
The new mob masteries are the following:
 Mob Mafia |  Multi Killer |
|---|---|
Max Level: 4 Costs: 6 - 10 - 14 - 18 Points Level I: 2% chance to drop x3 mob loot. Level II: 4% chance to drop x3 mob loot. Level III: 6% chance to drop x3 mob loot. Level IV: 8% chance to drop x3 mob loot. | Max Level: 4 Costs: 8 - 10 - 12 - 14 Points Level I: 4% chance to double kill, 2% chance to triple kill, 1.5% chance to penta kill. Level II: 6% chance to double kill, 4% chance to triple kill, 2.5% chance to penta kill. Level III: 8% chance to double kill, 6% chance to triple kill, 3% chance to penta kill. Level IV: 10% chance to double kill, 8% chance to triple kill, 4% chance to penta kill. |
Updated! Sell MultiplierWe have made a minor but impactful update to the sell multiplier cap for Sellwands and Sellchest signs! After careful consideration and listening to our players' feedback, we've increased the cap to x4, matching the gamemode.
This change means that players can now enjoy the maximum benefits of the game's economy without feeling restricted by the previous cap.
The improved sell multiplier cap of x4 will make selling items more lucrative than ever before, allowing you to earn greater profits from your sales. Take advantage of this update and watch your wealth grow!
Removed! Mob SuitsWe'd like to inform everyone about the removal of Mob Suits from the game.
While we understand that many players enjoyed these items, we've made the decision to remove them as they added too many different things to the game, which could create an imbalance in gameplay.
Removing Mob Suits will allow all players to grind on an equal playing field, without any one item providing an unfair advantage. This change ensures that everyone has a fair chance to progress in the game through hard work and dedication. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we're confident that this update will make for a better and more balanced gameplay experience overall.
