Hello, dear PikaNetwork Players.
Here we are again, time for another season of OpSkyblock! This brand new season will be released this Saturday, 25th of September at around 8 pm CET.
This season our main goal was to expand and to polish the features you have already seen being implemented in OpSkyBlock, adding some extra twists to existing features and making things more exicting for you to explore.
Below you can find most of the changes we have made and what has been added, I’m sure I forgot to mention it all but I’m sure giving it a good read over you will be familiar with most you're going to see. If there is however still something you want changing, feel free to mention it on this thread before its release, we can still consider making the change.
We will be looking in to the recently introduced souls, pet improvements, changes to player levels and much more!
Let’s not make it any longer since the details are what you’re interested in! If you want to learn more about the updates, fixes, and new features, read below!

If you want to learn more about the updates, fixes, and new features, read below!
New! Builds
A brand new season can not be properly started without a new map, therefore we will be introducing some brand new builds! This seasons spawn will be Pirate themed, so gather your gold and hop in to this new season in style.
The warzone contains multiple mini-events in which you can compete, which are the following:
- Outpost: Gather your island together every day at 16:00 server time to capture the outpost within the warzone.
- Supply Crates: We've hidden 25 supply crates in the warzone, will you be able to find them all?
New! Mob Suits
Along with this reset, we are introducing a new way to increase the grinding experience. We will be adding Mob Suits. These suits will come in all different types, wear a full mob suit and start grinding out that mob to receive even an extra boost. Obtaining a Mob Suit will not be easy, so you will still have to grind a lot to obtain these precious suits.
- You can earn the special resources to buy these mobsuits from grinding mobs.
- Each mob has their own suit and will boost the grinding of that mob type.
New! Souls FlipJust like with all of our currencies we have added a way to gamble away, or win some extra souls, the /soulsflip! Pick a side, heads or tails and wait for someone to accept your bet, can you hold back your nerves while the coin is flipping? Will you take it all, or will you go back to your island without any souls? The choice is yours.
- You can start a soulflip using the /soulsflip create command
- View all available soulflips with /soulsflip
- There is a minimum bet of 25 souls to start a flip.
New! Cosmetics
We added some cosmetics that you can purchase in-game as well, to spice it up even more. The following category of cosmetics are now available:
Kill Sound Effects
Upon killing a player a soundeffect in that area will play. You can have all different type of sounds selected when you kill a player.
Projectile Trails
Projectiles you throw and shoot will be followed by a particle. These particles come in all types and colors.
Kill Messages
Chat Colors
These two were already added before but they have been placed under the cosmetics category as well to make everything more in one line.
These cosmetics can be obtained through crates, supply drops, and the blackmarket.
New! Custom Enchantments
Three new custom enchants are added within this new season.
Plunderer: This enchant will increase the amount of souls received from killing players and mobs.
Muscular: This enchant will deal more damage to players when you hit them within a combo.
Guarding: This enchant will protect you in battle, a chance to pop you back in to life when you are hit below 2 hearts.
New! Gold Currency
Gold is a brand new currency of PikaNetwork soon to turn global!
From now on, you will be able to buy things directly inside the server at the new Store NPC. Instead of making transactions on the Webstore, all you need to do is transfer funds from the Webstore to the in-game store, and you are set - that is, until you spend it all! Found on our current Webstore at store.pika-network.net, you will be able to purchase Gold to be used in the In-Game Store.
You can purchase Crate Keys, Boosters, as well as Perks in-game in the /goldshop.
More Information:
- Check your Gold balance using command /gold balance
- Spend your Gold in-game with /goldshop
New! Tablist Modification
We have given the tablist a brand new look for this game mode! Instead of displaying the name of 80+ players, you will not be able to see the really useful information regarding your overall gameplay statistics within the game-mode. This information will be as reachable as you clicking the tab button to see it, and some of the visible statistics are the following:
- Money
- Mob Coins
- Souls
- Island Information
- And more…
Updated! Island GenBoxesGenBoxes have recently been introduced to OpSkyBlock and we are giving them some changes, not only have they been fixed completely, they also have been improved quite significant.
- Added Island GenBox upgrade
These upgrades can be found in /is upgrades.
Genbox Upgrade I: 10 Shards. Ability to place 3 Genboxes on an island.
Genbox Upgrade II: 15 Shards. Ability to place 4 Genboxes on an island.
Genbox Upgrade III: 30 Shards. Ability to place 5 Genboxes on an island.
Genbox Upgrade IV: 50 Shards. Ability to place 6 Genboxes on an island.
Genbox Upgrade V: 75 Shards. Ability to place 8 Genboxes on an island. - Added sell all option
You can now sell all blocks inside your genbox storage rather than having to take them out. - Improved existing upgrades
We improved the upgrades that you can purchase on your genbox, the quality upgrade will now spawn more ores and block variants than it used to do before.
We hope with this way we can make genboxes more valuable, another way to grind up some money to be the number #1 in the Island Top.
Updated! Custom CropsAs we have implemented the custom crops, we have also made it more challenging for you all to obtain certain crops, due to the fact that you are no longer able to simply purchase any crop of your desire at the beginning, and you must unlock the recipes for these crops in order to purchase them in the future. We have decided to buff the prices of the custom crops to make it more worth it for you to try and obtain the recipes for these. We also added some crops that require a recipe in order to be farmed, these recipes can be obtained throughout grinding in game
Updated! Blackmarket
The blackmarket is an important part of the OpSkyBlock community. We took the time to expand on the blackmarket.
- We have improved the cooldown of the BlackMarket and the amount of items that are in stock.
- We added more fun and unique items in the BlackMarket that you can grind for.
With these changes we think grinding souls will be worth more, and taking the risk of jumping in to the pvp-arena to get some of these new items will improve the amount of action happening in the OpSkyBlock season.
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 gen boxes
- Fixed auction house resetting bug.
- Fixed being kicked while grinding.

- Updated anticheat
- Updated all plugins
- Added back warp fps
- Updated all /settings
- Added new leaderboards
- Updated auctionhouse.
- Updated command cooldowns
- Added back /trash

Questions & AnswersWhy does OpSkyblock reset?
OpSkyblock 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 al 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 kind of gameplay, and style being 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?

We hope to see you on our new OpSkyblock server soon!
