Major SkyBlock Revision

Smshortstack

-1000000000000.....
- You are ruining the purpose of Skyblock and the name... your turning it into a prison server...
- Sometimes there are no people in skyblock, and the people who are on can just mine up what ever is "rare", and the price for diamonds, gold, whatever will drop alot, and /is top will be filled with island levels more that 50k...
- "Ores" may not seem important, but have you ever tried to look up how much ISLAND LEVEL one block gives?
- Iron block gives you 0.1
- Gold block gives you 1.5
- Emerald block gives you 1
- Diamond block gives you 3
- Obsidian gives you 0.1
- Grass block gives you 3/100
- And so on, just go lookup the list on a website
- If you want ores to exist they must be rare af.... and if its rare af might as well not even implement it...
- The "mines" you are providing to skyblock starters, means they can get full god gear without even having island level 100, because they can just spend their time in the "mine" and get every material they need...
- Cobblestone will be useless since they can get iron stuff easy
- Skyblock is NOT BORING if you have the patience, plus, if you added mines the /is top wont even be the best skyblock players, it'll just be whoever gets the most ores out of it
-already covered it above
- do you even skyblock? the purpose of a small island and a few materials is so the players have a hard time surviving, and "survival" doesnt mean you need to make it fancy the first night, build a cobble platform, get a better cobble gen, then replace cobble with whatever you want, the cobble serves as scaffolding there as well..
-Normal skyblock has that few dirt, yet in meepcraft you can already get more dirt by using coins, now you want a generator for it? i mean, what are dirt used for in skyblock, mini farms should be enough, sheepfarms can be small, they add up to 2 stacks only, why do you need a massive farm if the stuff you get from it is almost unused since challenges can only be completed 100 times [ using alts is illegal, *looks at daedric_ace* ]
- i kinda have nothing to say about this, but if you have so much money, why bother to even mine?
- THEN WHATS THE PURPOSE OF SKYBLOCK?????theres another part, i just accidentally hit post reply, currently typing part 2:

Maybe only if you could only visit each mine once a day for ten minutes?
No vote for now.

I once had someone buy 10 double chests of cobblestone from me just because they wanted to/could, and it was something for me to work towards while still being capable of building on my own island, and it was absolutely amazing. It kept me hooked, gave me something to look forward to, and also kept them on. Another time I traded 2 double chests of Oak Logs for a couple animal spawn eggs and things because I had enough cobblestone to expand my island and room to build my animal farms.

-someone is lazy hehe

Mining cobblestone at cobblestone generators was still common, but it was rarer and much, much less time consuming so everybody could still do what they wanted without working for 6 months straight at a generator. It keeps people interested, and connected with each other.

~ @TheAngelEclipse

- without working straight at a generator, working straight at a mine where you have to use your left hand to control movement instead of using it do play on your ipad or stuff

- PvP is enabled in the Nether mine, but none others. This is so that people don't have to fear about bringing their valuables with them to go mining and get what they need, but there is still mobs enabled so they still have to watch out for fall damage where others have already mined (lava is illegal in these mines, unless it's in the Nether, but still no dumping on other players. That's bad.) and also creeper explosions, zombies, skeletons, spiders, etc. There is also a small reward for killing mobs (it'd be around 10-50 meebles either randomly or depending on the mob, to be discussed. Nothing too big, just some incentive.)

lava=obsidian,
obsidian=gold farm, and island level increase
gold farm=gold blocks, and island level increase
island level increase= /is top filled with alot of levels
/is top filled with alot of levels= /is top being useless since "ores" are "rare" or, rly common...

- There's still plenty of things you cannot get from these mines, like animals/mobs such as cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, wood/trees, carrots, potatoes, obsidian, and all the things players generally enjoy making farms or generators for on their islands. That's a major aspect of the original SkyBlock that would most definitely be left intact.
- I'm glad that the idea of having a seperate PvP arena in SkyBlock is liked though, thanks for that much, haha.
If I missed anything or you have any more questions/comments/concerns on what I brought up here, please let me know! :)

that isnt a major part of it, the COBBLE and ISLAND LEVEL is m8...

and I have ALOT of questions to ask and argue with...

Window_Licker

Half the people that +1 it don't play sb. Everyone who -1's it plays it. Not to be rude but don't comment if you haven't played Skyblock. Skyblock is meant to be challenging, having mines would uproot the whole reason of Skyblock.
So -1 ~ @Smshortstack

I agree.

If you want mines, ask Fuzzlr to add Prison.

I don't see "skyblock + mines" as that different than "towny + the wild". Not sure there would be a point to a sb server.

I really don't play sb for mining -- I could do tons of that in the wild if I wanted. I very much play it for building. I haven't played Prison, but that's because I like skyblock. For me, the basic proposition of skyblock is building a lot from very little.

then dont play "challenging" games...

Don't worry, it's on Trello. Soon TM ... /sarcasm

No, but seriously. I complain about Parkour being ignored all the time, Skyblock was even worse off when I still played it half a year ago. It barely had any updates and was terribly broken. When an update eventually came, it usually made things even worse.

Haven't stepped into SB since the new update, so I am not sure how it's doing nowadays, anywas... regarding your suggestion, I am a -1.
Doesn't feel quite right to go to a mine in SB, no matter how "harmless" it might seem. Yes, I did read the whole of your presentation and I appreciate the effort you put into it, but I just don't like the suggestion.

- "Small amounts of Meeble rewards can be offered per mob killed" - I can already see a lot of people camping the mine, who don't even play/plan on playing SB, just for the Meebles.
- "Ores spawn randomly" - NO! What is the point of challenges if you can get a rare ore randomly in a warp?
- Last time I checked, you could get Andesite, Diorite and Granite with certain types of cobble generators. Might have been changed with the big update a couple months ago.
- "Skyblock is boring". No it's not. Skyblock is meant to be challenging. Honestly? Adding a mine to take the easy way out seems like a way to make it more boring. Why not make a /warp treefarm and while we are at it a /warp animals?
- I don't know how exactly this would be "Attractive to new players". Personally, I would be disappointed to find out, that I am playing a devalued version of SB.
- "Incites new interest in older players" - Nah, it would just --- them off.

The only positive I see in this, is a new way to attract donators... so it will probably pass.

So -1 ~ @Smshortstack

... I don't want be one of ~those~ people, but I do play skyblock. I think these mines should be incorporated, but not as many. Maybe just a beginning mine. Probably should've clarified that earlier... oh well!

ToonMichaela

Look how i got to island level 80K before the skyblock reset without mines. Just saying...

Also before people get the wrong idea of my message. I do like that something new for skyblock is suggested. to many people complain about "no challenge" with most of this. but who says you HAVE to use that? you want a challenge make a goddamm challenge for yourself already.

-1, Defeats the purpose of skyblock. Though, this could be added as another server for players to play on. I would not recommend this to be a replacement for skyblock though.

Jess_4Ds

Denied! This would destroy the skyblock economy!
