End of the world
To celebrate the end of the season, we will be hosting an end-of-season event. At around 3 days before the release, we will be placing reset signs at spawn which you can click and claim a number of rewards; Free items, Free gkits, Millions of in-game money, Tons of free experience to level up your overpowered armor. Everyone will be able to finish their rank-ups because you can get everything for free. You can fight with everyone without the fear of losing your gear you have weeks to gather. So clearly this is the event everyone should participate in! Hop on OpSkyBlock and have fun!
Changelog
The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.
Payouts! Island Top Rewards

New! Spawn
A new season means a brand new spawn. This season we will be diving in to a new magical theme, filled with secrets across spawn. Explore the spawn to find out all the features we are offering this season.
A new spawn with a magic theme
The spawn contains an outpost again.
Looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
A new seasonal crate has been added again.
New! Infinite Chests
As recently introcued at OpFactions we think it will be a great addition to introduce the Infinite Chest at OpSkyBlock as well. Each island is filled with thousands of chests to maintain the amount of items being produced by the amount of spawners it has. In order to make things easier to maintain we will be adding an infinite chest.
The Infinite Chest can pick up a select amount of items per chunk. These items will be stored within the Infinite Chest and are ready to be sold from the GUI within.
You can place 1 Infinite Chest per chunk, and this chest can be upgraded with in-game money. Purchasing an infinite chest is not like other gamemodes, the infinite chest is a chest that you bought from the /shop with in-game money as well. This should make it a bit more fun to play, and encourage people to do other things as well, like capturing outposts, as you now will not lose that much time on selling chests anymore. In the Infinite Chest you will have to select which items it will pickup, and after selecting the chest will collect all drops in that chunk.
However, to make things not too easy for everyone we decided that this Infinite Chest (or iChest for short) should have some upgrades, to make it better the more you progress.
The following things can be upgraded:
Sell Timer - The time you need to wait between selling from this ichest. The higher the Sell Timer level, the lower the wait between selling.
Storage - The maximum amount of items being able to be stored in the ichest. Starting at 30,000 at level 1.
Slots - The maximum amount of items this ichest can pickup. Starting at 4 at level 1.
Each upgrade will have a small upgrade timer.
New! Heroic Enchantments
We are once again expanding the content available within the Mining World. The mining world is a big part of OpSkyBlock right now and we are happy we have been able to add features with it. For this season we will be adding a new custom enchantment tier, called Heroic Enchants.
A miner enchant is a new tier of enchantments that you can purchase with experience. These books will contain a small, but overpowered enchantments that will enhance your skill at OpSkyBlock.
But there is a catch, because these enchants are so strong you will need to have Mythical Dust in order to activate these enchants. Mythical Dust can be found by slaying mobs within the Mining World, or simply by mining the ores. Both have a small chance to drop a handful of Mythical Dust.
Upon activating a Heoric Enchant a bit of Mythical Dust is consumed from your dust balance, and the enchant will activate. If you run out of Mythical Dust the enchants will no longer be able to be activated.
Here is a list of Heroic Enchantments that will be added this season:
Revival I-IV - Regenerate health while blocking, after regenerating this will go on a small cooldown.
Expel I-III - A chance to remove all of your enemy's buffs.
Bleed I-VI - Bypass your enemy's absorption hearts and directly damage their normal health.
Spikes I- X - Deal a small amount of damage every time you get hit.
Spread I- VII - More drops from mining world ores.
New! Crop Hoes
We will be making farming a bit more easy and fun to do this season by introducing Crop Hoes. These Crop Hoes will come in different varients all with different type of abilities and levels. Per level on your crop hoe your ability will have a higher chance to be activated.
By default all crop hoes will make the drops go instantly in to your inventory, and the crop will be replanted. These hoes work on normal as well as on custom crops.
In order to increase your crop hoe level you will simply have to use the hoe to farm it.
There are 4 different type of Crop Hoes available, the following are:
Crop Hoe - The default crop hoe, makes crops go in to your inventory directly and replants them.
Shop Crop Hoe - This crop hoe will make the loot from harvested crops be sold directly.
Golden Crop Hoe - This crop hoe will make the loot from harvested crops be sold directly, and has a chance to boost the sell price by x2.5
Greedy Crop Hoe - TThe default crop hoe, makes crops go in to your inventory directly and replants them. There is a chance to double the loot drops with this hoe.
New! Envoys
The community has suggested to make PvP more exciting, and give people a reason to hop in to the warzone, so this season we will be giving you one. The Supply Drops will be revamped in to an Envoy. These envoys will drop around every hour, and will drop a bunch of envoy crates within the spawn warzone. These crates are stacked with good loot to make you even stronger.
Each crate has a chance to spawn in different tiers, you will be able to find a Basic, Epic, Crazy & Legendary envoy crates upon a drop. The higher the tier, the better the loot.
These crates spawn all around the warzone so you have to make sure to cover every possible corner of the warzone in order to get as many drops as you can.
New! Balance Logs
Another great feature that has been suggested by our OpSkyBlock community. You will now be able to view a full log of all of your balance, where it went, who paid you, what you bought and all that just in a simple GUI filled with those logs.
All of these logs will be saved per user and you can review them for the rest of the season. So now if you were wondering if you actually spend all those millions in the /shop, or if you paid them to a friend, you will be able to view it in the /balancelogs.
In there you will find these logs:
Received /pay money
Paid /pay money
Shop purchases
Received money from other sources
Updated! Crates
We will be giving our crates a much needed quality of life change as well. Introducing proper re-rolling, obtaining crate rewards as a delivery & seasonal rewards. These changes were much needed and will be implented within this season.
Delivery - Once your inventory is full all crate rewards will go directly in to your /maildelivery where you can pick them up later.
Re-rolling - You will be able to obtain re-roll tokens to re-roll a crate reward, there is also a small chance to get a re-roll, and this chance will be increased every time you vote!
Seasonal Reward - The seasonal crate will have an OP item that can only be obtained once a season per player, the more keys you open the higher your chance will be for this legendary reward.
Updated! Skills
There will be two new skills being introduced within the new OpSkyBlock season, these skils are the following:
Gambler
This skill allows you to increase the chance of you receiving an extra item from your crate keys, yes you heard it right, double the rewards! This skill can be increased by opening keys, all keys are included for this.
Adventurer
Deal more damage to mobs in the Mining World, and an ability that you will make you take less damage from the mobs within the mines.
These skills will each have their own experience curve and abilities that you can unlock upon leveling up these new skills.
You can view all the skills in the /skill menu, and for more info you can view the /skillsinfo menu. We also fixed the recent issues with the old existing skills, and made the leaderboards update properly for the top players.
Updated! Player Levels
The player levels have received one big update as well, the rewards have been slightly tweaked, the premium rewards have been added for every level and we have decided to clean up the menu as well.
The new player level GUI will show you more info about the levels and will give you a quick and easy overview of Premium Rewards that you can obtain for each level, the new GUI will give you more of a progressive feeling rather than a bunch of glass panes in a menu.
Brand new bracket colors
To show off your premium level pass even more we added new bracket colors that you unlock every 7 levels, you will now be able to show off your level in even more style.
Fixed! Bugs
We did our best to polish and fix as many existing bugs inside the OpSkyBlock server. We have looked through all the bug reports and managed to fix them. If you come across any bug with the new release, make sure to report them at our forums under the bug reports section.
Here are a few of the bugs we squished out:
- Fixed anticheat false kicks
- Fixed spawner class from goldshop
- Fixed bats being all over spawn

- Fixed menus not having next pages sometimes
- Fixed all skills
- Fixed /gift command

- and many more.
Misc. Updates and changes.

Why does OpSkyBlock reset?
