July 19th, 2024, 13:00 GMT / 09:00 EST / 08:00 CST / 06:00 PST / 17:30 IST
Get ready for a new reset of SkyBlock, a gamemode which has not received an update in quite a while.
We are happy to announce that the reset is finally here, and ready for our players.
With this update we decided to rename Classic SkyBlock, simply just to SkyBlock, as well as a complete overhaul of the core mechanics of the SkyBlock gamemode.
New mob collections, a brand new spawner shop, new spawners, updated transfer shop, minigames and many more updates are coming this reset, so we know it's going to be a good one.
We can't wait to share with you all the fantastic additions on the way. So, why wait?
We're excited to hear what you think of this exciting new season of SkyBlock!
Are you ready to hop into a new season?! Say no more. The update will be released at:

Changelog
The following are the most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and features.
New! SpawnA new SkyBlock season means a brand-new spawn to start your adventures.
We have done a complete redesign of our spawn, more vibrant colors, a more clear layout, and many other improvements.
A new spawn with a Tropical Greek theme.
Looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features. 
A new seasonal crate has been added again.
Inside this new spawn we have added a brand new pvp-arena, for the players who love a fight.
Just walk straight, and you will find yourself the entrance of the arena, where everyone can hop in to for a battle.
The pvp arena is no longer a warzone below the spawn, but a more compact space inside spawn to ensure that every battle is filled with actions.
New! ResourcepackBefore we dive into the details of this new season of SkyBlock, let's first talk about something that makes the whole new season even better: the resource pack.
Make your game more fun with a special resource pack. For this season, we will be starting slow, by adding some emotes to the chat, icons to your scoreboard and tab-list, and special custom textures.
Want to keep things simple?If you like the classic Minecraft look, don't worry. You can still enjoy our game mode without the resource pack.
But, we think you'll have a better time if you try out the resource pack. We believe it will make your experience in the SkyBlock game mode much better.
New! Mob CollectionsCollections in this game are available for every type of mob that can drop a spawner.
To level up a collection, you need to kill the specific type of mob associated with that collection.
Unlock other mobs by claiming through the milestones.Each level in the collection has a set milestone of mobs you need to kill to progress.
As you reach higher collection levels, you unlock more spawners, which help you gather more resources and advance in the game.
As we would like to see players play together, these collections are shared within your island, so every island member can contribute to upgrade your collection level by grinding mobs.
New! SpawnersWe have made exciting changes to spawners in Skyblock.
We have added 31 new spawners, with rebalanced prices and drops, to make your SkyBlock experience feel more rewarding and fun.
You can unlock these new spawners by progressing through the mob collections.
This ensures a rewarding experience as you advance in the game.
Here are the 31 new spawners now available:
Basic SpawnersPig | Rabbit | Chicken | Sheep | Cow |
|---|
Wild SpawnersPanda | Zombie | Skeleton | Spider | Creeper |
|---|
Water SpawnersDolphin | Glow Squid | Squid | Guardian | Drowned |
|---|
Nether SpawnersBlaze | Zoglin | Ghast | Hoglin | Piglin Brute |
|---|
Air SpawnersParrot | Allay | Bee | Phantom | Vex |
|---|
Great SpawnersEnderman | Silverfish | Iron Golem |
|---|
Boss SpawnersEvoker | Ravager | Warden |
|---|
New! Spawner ShopWe have updated the spawner shop, there are a total of 31 spawners available in the game.
These spawners can be purchased from the new spawner shop. However, most spawners are locked behind collection levels.
To get better spawners, you need to reach certain levels in multiple lower mob collections.
This makes the new spawner shop more progressive, encouraging you to grind more and work through the different collection levels to unlock and purchase higher-tier spawners.
New! Quest LevelsWe're super happy to share a big update: our new Quest Level system!
This new system combines the best parts of Player Levels and Quests.
Climb through the new levelsNow, you'll love what we brought back from Player Levels
You get a new thing called Quest Level. It goes up when you finish quests, which start on their own now - no need to buy them.
Every quest you complete gives you Quest Experience, bumping up your Quest Level, kind of like the old player levels.
A challenge along the roadThe higher your level, the harder your quests will be.
These quests will scale with you as a player, and the requirement to complete a quest will be harder and harder as you rise through the levels. This ensures that there is always a constant challenge waiting for you.
Big rewards are waitingBy leveling up you can reach certain level milestones, these milestones will give you rewards.
The higher the milestone you have reached, the better the rewards will be.
New! KOTH
We are introducing a new KOTH event to Skyblock.
This event runs every 3 hours inside the PvP arena and offers a thrilling challenge for you and your island members.
Capture the hill with your island team to receive great loot that will give you an extra boost for your future battles.
New! Boss BattleThe PvP arena just got even more exciting, with a creature from out of this world spawning in there every few hours.
A boss will now be able to spawn naturally inside the new PvP arena, ensuring there is always a battle worth fighting.
This boss has strong attacks and abilities, so make sure you dive in prepared.
Upon slaughtering the boss, the top 3 damages will receive a boss lootbag, which is filled with amazing rewards.
New! MinigamesIntroducing the new minigames: we now have 5 exciting minigames that start randomly every hour.
Compete in these minigames for a chance to earn a minigame loot bag filled with amazing rewards.
Each minigame will start with 10 players and has a maximum of 24 players per game.
Minigames last a maximum of 10 minutes.
Jump in, show your skills, and enjoy the fun while earning great prizes!
The following 5 minigames have been added for this new season: Spleef |  TNT Tag |  Free for All |  Parkour |  Maze |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A classic minigame. Spawn on top of a layer of snow, and eliminate your opponents by breaking the snow blocks below them. Breaking snow blocks gives you snowballs that you can throw at players or blocks as well. | Time for a brawl. Two players will obtain the TNT and become the tagger. Tag other players before the TNT explodes, and eliminates you. The top 2 players surviving will win this minigame. | A more casual version of the LMS event. In Free for All (FFA), you fight to get the most kills within 10 minutes. The player with the most kills after 10 minutes wins. Upon dying you will respawn. | Another classic minigame. Use your jumping skills to get to the end of the parkour. The first player to reach the end wins this minigae. | Jump in to the invisible maze, where every block is invisible, make your way through the center to win. The first player to reach the center wins this minigame. |
Updated! Island LevelThe island level system has been overhauled. Island missions no longer exist.
Now, your island level scales with your progress in the quest level system.
Every quest completed by your island members contributes to your island experience.
Complete quests and level-up your island.To level up your island, you need to complete quests in the new quest level system.
This change ties island growth directly to the achievements and activities of your members, making teamwork and quest completion essential for island advancement.
Updated! Island UpgradesIsland upgrades have also been overhauled.
Since missions have been removed, shards are no longer used.
Unlock upgrades automatically as you progress.Now, your island upgrades will automatically scale with your island level.
Each upgrade automatically improves every few levels, depending on the specific upgrade.
This new system simplifies the upgrade process and ensures that your island's capabilities grow steadily as you level up through quest completion.
Updated! Transfer Shop
We have overhauled the transfer shop, updating both the prices and the items available.
Additionally, the stock is now global rather than personal, making these items more valuable due to limited availability.
The transfer shop now refreshes every 6 hours, featuring only rotating items.
This change ensures a dynamic and competitive market, encouraging players to check back frequently for new and rare items.
Updated! CratesWe have completely changed all crates and their rewards. Now, they are more balanced and exciting.
