The Chat Games will consist of two exciting challenges: Unscramble and Math.

New! Player Profiles
Introducing the all-new Player Profiles feature!
Say goodbye to the old /stats menu and hello to a wealth of information about every player on OpSkyBlock.
With Player Profiles, you can view an array of statistics, including your wins and losses, points earned, and more.
Additionally, you can filter these profiles by weekly, lifetime, and monthly stats. To access your own profile or someone else's, simply run /profile or /profile <playername>.
This is your chance to see how you stack up against the competition and track your progress over time.
So, get ready to dive into the new Player Profiles and see where you stand in the world of OpSkyBlock!
New! Pet Skins
Ever wanted to give your pet a fresh new look? With these new pet skins, you can. Pet skins can be obtained in-game, or from the store and gold shop.
Each season new skins will be added and the previous skins will become unavailable.
This means these pet skins will gain value over time, as you can no longer obtain them.
You can always take off a Pet Skin and trade it with others when you want to, which makes these skins an essential part of becoming the #1 trader at OpSkyBlock, with your pets having a fresh look.
All of these Pet Skins are pure cosmetical and will not change your pet's abilities or strength.
New! Soccer PvP Arena
Get ready to test your PvP skills with the introduction of the new PvP arena, /warp soccer! Inspired by the popular soccer arena from OpFactions,
Warp Soccer is a flat arena designed for non-stop action. Although smaller in size compared to /warp fps.
The Soccer warp offers players the chance to engage in battles in multiple locations, doubling the excitement and intensity.
So, grab your weapons and gear, and join the fight in this fast-paced and thrilling arena. Show off your skills, and conquer your enemies!
New! Bounties
Have you already made enemies? That was quick! This Bounty system is a great feature for all of you guys looking to get your worst enemies slaughtered by the bravest warriors at our OpSkyBlock server.
Put a bounty on someone's head and make it profitable to kill that person. You can choose any amount of money you want to put on that player as a bounty.
Let's say you want Gunfire to be killed, all you have to do is put a big bounty on his head and the bounty hunters on the server will start looking for him for money.
Once you have placed the bounty using /bounty Gunfire 1000 then the server will take away $1,000 from your balance and will give it to the player that manages to kill Gunfire first.
Updated! Anti Cheat
After extensive testing, we are confident that this new anti-cheat is a huge improvement over its predecessor. With the updated system, you can expect a more fair and more enjoyable experience.
The anti-cheat will be working more effectively and efficiently, ensuring that all players are playing on an even field.
This means that cheating and exploiting will be a thing of the past, and you'll be able to enjoy the game as it is meant to be played.
Updated! Runes
This season, we will be doing minor tweaks to the Runes to make them all a bit more balanced. We will be moving some runes in tiers and we have added another new rune for our players that love fighting others with their axes, and for those explorers in the Mine World.
New runes
Looter (I-VIII) - A new rune that you can apply to your weapons. Gives you a chance to loot double the drops from Mine World mobs.
Ice Aspect (I-III) - A new rune that you can apply to your axe. Gives you a chance to slow your victims when you hit them.
Rune tier changes
Panzer - Moved to Godly Tier
Endurance - Moved to Godly Tier
Swiftness - Moved to Crazy Tier
Runed - Moved to Crazy Tier
War - This soul enchant has been removed from the game.
Updated! Infinite Chest
The Infinite Chest is currently dominating the economy of OpSkyBlock. We are always looking to reward players who grind hard and play a lot to make their Island the number one Island, so that is why we will be tuning down the Infinite Chest by a lot.
Lowering the sell multiplier.
Previously your Infinite Chest would always scale with your sell multiplier, this season we will be lowering that number and making players have to unlock the ability to sell with a sell multiplier from the Infinite Chest. The maximum possible sell multiplier for Infinite Chests will be capped to x4, and can not go above this in any way.
Upgrade the maximum sell multiplier.
Your Infinite Chest will have a new upgrade, the Sell Multiplier Cap. This multiplier starts at 1 and can be upgraded 3 times, to 4. Once you have reached Level 4 of the upgrade your infinite chest will have reached the maximum amount of the sell multiplier cap.
What does this mean?
This means, boosters, and other things boosting your money from the Infinite Chest at the start will not be affected at all. In order to unlock the ability to enjoy the boost from a one-click-sell from the Infinite Chest you will need to do some grinding. This makes the Infinite Chest a more fair tool to help you out, but not boost you from day one.
Updated! Skills
The Skills feature has received a major update to make PvP even more fair and enjoyable.
Axes Skill
The Axe Skills have been nerfed to do less damage to armor, creating a more balanced playing field.
In addition, we've fixed the issue with the Axe Ability activating while using a Sword, ensuring that each skill operates as intended.
These changes are designed to enhance the PvP experience and ensure that every battle is a fair and exciting contest.
Skills Top
With the changes to the Skills feature, we're excited to announce a new command, /skillstop <skill>.
This command allows you to easily view the leaderboards for each skill, see where you stand, and track your progress over time.
Whether you're looking to see who's the best at Axes, Swords, or any other skill, /skillstop <skill> has got you covered.
Updated! Leaderboards
Keep track of your progress and see where you stand among the competition with this exciting new feature.
With /leaderboards, you can view an array of leaderboards for a variety of statistics.
The leaderboards are updated in real-time, allowing you to see your exact position among every player, and who is above and below you.
Whether you're looking to compete with friends or simply track your own progress, /leaderboards is the perfect tool for you.
This new command will give you a proper overview of all the leaderboards within a nicely organized menu.
Updated! Sell Wands
Sellwands are a beloved tool used by many players, and we're excited to announce that we've made them even better!
From merging Sellwands to updating the visual display, here's a rundown of the latest improvements to the Sellwand experience on OpSkyBlock:
Merging Sellwands
Good news for Sellwand fans! You can now merge Sellwands with the same multiplier to combine their uses into one Sellwand. Simply drag them on top of each other for an easier and more convenient experience. Make the most out of your Sellwands and streamline your inventory with this new feature.
Visual Display
The visual display of Sellwands has been updated to a golden hoe to make them stand out more when you're searching for them in chests or vaults. With this new design, you'll never have to search for your Sellwands again.
Uses Warning
We've added a new low-uses warning for Sellwands to keep you informed when your Sellwand is low on uses. This feature can be easily toggled in /settings, giving you greater control over your Sellwand experience.
Sell Summary
Another new setting has been added to disable the sell summary of a Sellwand when it's used. This gives you the option to use Sellwands without the distracting sell summaries, allowing for a smoother and more efficient experience.
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 bugs with the new release, make sure to report them at our forums under the bug reports section.
