- Islands can now allow trusted players and visitors to Manage Robots in the permissions GUI

End Dimension:
The biggest piece of content for players next season is the addition of the End dimension. This new dimension acts as an extension of your Skyblock Island and serves a very unique purpose, granting players access to brand new and powerful island upgrades. Located on your end island players will find 8 End-Berry plants available to unlock, all of which require completion of a specific crop challenge (these challenges can be completed by anyone on your island). By watering, growing and harvesting these End-Berry plants, players will be able to invest into these new upgrade paths (upgrades can be purchased by talking to the NPC on your end island).

Prior to entering the end, islands are required to complete the challenge of killing 1,000 Power Phantoms on their nether island. Once unlocked, the End dimension can then be accessed by entering the portal located on your nether island (alternatively players can use the command '/is end').

Ravager Improvements:
Last season, ravagers made their way to our Skyblock server and will be receiving some quality of life updates this following season. As per feedback, players will now be able to feed their pet ravagers more than 1 food at a time (we understand how painful this became)! Players will also be able to give their ravagers a custom name (which will appear above it), after all they are your pet and deserve a loving name!

New Island Upgrades:
Through the new End dimension content, islands will have access to purchase 3 brand new and powerful island upgrades. The first upgrade will make it so that all mobs that die on your Skyblock island will drop additional drops, allowing you to create more powerful grinders. The second upgrade allows islands to reduce their Autosell tax rate, allowing for efficient use of Autosell chests whilst paying much less tax. The third upgrade allows islands to upgrade their Emerald Vaults and reduce the tax. By upgrading your Emerald Vault, all emeralds which are stored in there will be worth more island levels (a necessity for those competing top islands).

Explosive Shovels:
Explosive Pickaxes and Explosive Axes have existed on Skyblock for many seasons now. They have both become a staple necessity when it comes to knocking down those pesky builds and renovating your island. Explosive Shovels will be joining the collection next season, and can be obtained through the same methods as the other tools!

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

The time has come once again for our Prison server to start a brand new chapter. This season is focussed on adding as much new content as possible to keep the game feeling modern and fresh! Players can expect to see some massive new features this upcoming season such as Private Barns, Autosell Chests, Mine Banks, Victory Trophies, Dungeons Update and much more!

Private Barns:
The biggest piece of content for players next season is the addition of Private Barns. These barns act as an extension of your Private Mine, and serve a very unique purpose on our Prison server. Players are required to complete a variety of challenges to unlock Farmers & Livestock inside their private barns. Feeding your livestock will grant players with animal produce which can be spent on some epic new features such as Auto Sell Chests and some new private mine upgrades (such as bonus mob drops and the ability to negotiate lower auto sell tax rates).

Auto Sell Chests:
Auto Sell Chests are available for purchase using the produce generated from your barn livestock. As the name implies, Auto Sell Chests will automatically sell all items which enter this chest, making it a must have item for a fully automated mob grinder! For balancing purposes, all items sold through Auto Sell Chests will be subject to tax, however through barn upgrades players are able to negotiate this tax rate lower! All money generated from Auto Sell Chests will be deposited to the newly added Private Mine Bank.

Private Mine Bank:
This bank account can be accessed by talking to the NPC near your new private barn. Players are able to deposit and withdraw money from their bank by using the commands '/pmine deposit' and '/pmine withdraw'. The main use for this bank is the direct link with Auto Sell Chests. All of the profits from Auto Sell Chests will be deposited directly into your Private Mine Bank.

Victory Trophies:
Reaching Z9 on Prison is no small task, and one that deserves to be celebrated! All players whom successfully reach the max rank will now be rewarded with a trophy. This trophy will automatically be handed to a players inventory during their final rankup. Place your trophy on your Private Mine and flex it to everyone on the server! You deserve all the recognition you can get after beating all odds and successfully grinding through hundreds of ranks!

New Private Mine Upgrades:
With the new Private Barns comes 2 brand new upgrades for players to invest in. Both of these upgrades are unique, as they are purchased using produce generated by your barn livestock. The first upgrade allows players to negotiate a lower tax rate with the banker, resulting in more money going to your bank when selling items via the new Auto Sell Chests. The second upgrade allows players to receive Bonus Mob Drops when mobs die on their Private Mine. Utilise both of these upgrades to create more powerful than ever grinders!

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

AlexMarkey Feb 21, 2023 at 2:11 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

The time has come once again for our Lifesteal server to start a brand new chapter. This season is focussed on adding as much new content and fixes as possible to keep the game feeling modern and fresh! Players can expect to see some massive new features this upcoming season such as Heart Prestige, Revamped Obscure Zone, New Disguises, Winter Keys and much more! This changelog will detail all changes big and small for our upcoming Lifesteal Reset which will be dropping this upcoming Friday 24th February 3pm MST.

Upcoming Changes

Heart Prestige:
This upcoming season, lifesteal is receiving an overhaul in regards to the way hearts work. Starting players will be able to have a maximum of 25 hearts. To receive more hearts, players are going to need to prestige by using the command '/prestige'. Prestiging will permanently increase your maximum heart limit, but it will come at a cost! Each prestige will need to be purchased by using hearts currently inside your inventory (heart containers).

New Disguises:
As Lifesteal is running the latest Minecraft version, it only makes sense to include some of these awesome new mobs as disguises! This was a highly requested addition which we are completely on board for! This upcoming season, players can expect to see 9 new disguises of all different sizes ranging from little slippery frogs to big cuddly pandas!

Obscure Zone Revamp:
This upcoming season, players can expect to see some major changes in regards to the Obscure Zone. It will now take place in a seperate arena located away from spawn (/warp obscure). Once inside the Obscure Zone, the only way players can safely leave is through the exit portal (located on the opposite side of the arena). The center of the arena is filled with 'Obscurus' which will drop the sought after shards. When entering this arena, make sure you are prepared and have your clan by your side, as there is no way back without fighting!

Winter Keys:
Winter keys are a brand new type of key which are only available to purchase until the end of February. These keys are unique in the way they work, giving players a guaranteed 5 rewards (2 of which are limited edition chat tags). There are currently 7 available chat tags for players to collect, all of which can be viewed and activated by using the command /tags. The only way to obtain these chat tags is by opening these limited edition keys, or purchasing them from another player (auction house).

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

The time has come once again for our Skyblock server to start a brand new chapter.

Spleef Event:
Skyblock has been long neglected when it comes to events. For many years now, the only 2 available events on Skyblock have been Boss Battles and Envoys, both of which are PvP oriented. This upcoming season, a brand new event will be making an appearance - Spleef Arena! Spleef is a classic Minecraft minigame where you need to dig the snow below your opponents in attempt to make them fall into the water below. The last surviving player will be deemed the winner!

Ravager Pets:
One of the biggest changes players will see next season is the introduction of island pets. Our first island pet to launch is the Ravager which can be purchased from the Coinshop. Ravager pets will instantly attack and kill all mobs that enter within a 5 block radius, allowing for unique new grinder setups. Ravager pets are a huge help when it comes to unlocking the higher tiered spawners (all mobs killed by pet Ravagers will unlock tiered spawners at double the speed). Look after your pets and remember to keep them fed!

Winter Keys:
Winter keys are a brand new type of key which are only available to purchase until the end of February. These keys are unique in the way they work, giving players a guaranteed 5 rewards (2 of which are limited edition chat tags). There are currently 7 available chat tags for players to collect, all of which can be viewed and activated by using the command /tags. The only way to obtain these chat tags is by opening these limited edition keys, or purchasing them from another player (auction house).

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

AlexMarkey Dec 13, 2022 at 2:05 AM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

The time has come once again for our Prison server to start a brand new chapter. This season is focussed on adding as much new content as possible to keep the game feeling modern and fresh! Players can expect to see some massive new features this upcoming season such as Mob Armor, Prison Dungeons, Ability Runestones and much more! This changelog will detail all changes big and small for our upcoming Prison Reset which will be dropping this upcoming Friday 16th December 3pm MST.

Mob Armor:
This upcoming Prison season will be introducing 7 brand new and unique sets of armor known as 'Mob Armor'. These rare new armor sets are crafted using the skulls of mobs (which can be obtained with the decapitation custom enchantment). Whilst wearing a full set of Mob Armor, players will be granted access to a huge piece of new Prison content known as Dungeons (more information below). Depending on which set of Mob armor you choose to wear will drastically change your approach to the newly added dungeons!

Prison Dungeons:
Dungeons are one of the largest pieces of new content to make it's way to Prison in recent years. Players are able to enter a dungeon by equipping a full set of mob armor and using the command /dungeon. Dungeons are a pure PvE experience where players will battle waves of mobs which will progressively get harder. The goal of dungeons is simple: Progress through as many waves as possible, and be rewarded with Dungeon Credits which can be used to upgrade the brand new Ability Runestone (more information below).

Players are able to participate in dungeons with up to 3 other friends (4 players in total) but be warned! The difficulty of the dungeon will scale depending on how many players you choose to participate with. When playing with friends, players must all choose a different set of mob armor when entering the dungeon. Teamwork is key, and selecting the correct mob armor for your playstyle is vital. Good Luck!

Ability Runestone:
Ability Runestones are a brand new item which are making their way to Prison. All players will receive a runestone in their inventory upon joining the server for the first time (players can also use /kit runestone). Runestones are a physical item which will activate an ability upon left click whilst holding the Runestone in your hand. Players are able to upgrade their Runestone by right clicking whilst holding the Runestone in their hand.

Abilities can be purchased for your Runestone using Dungeon Credits (obtained by participating in the newly added dungeons). As of this upcoming season, there will be 6 abilities available for players to purchase and upgrade on their Runestones, ranging from potion effects (used primarily for PvP) to massive mining abilities such as Pipe Bombs, Thor Strikes and much more!

Care Packages:
Out with the old, in with the new! Care Packages will act as a direct replacement to our old Envoys system (which has been left untouched and abandoned for many years now). Care packages will drop 6 times throughout the day, providing a more PvP focussed experience alongside much more valuable rewards. The player whom successfully opens the care package will be deemed the winner!

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!
