Hey Everyone: You may have noticed we have been keeping very quite these past few weeks with changelogs etc. We have been doing so for good reason which we would love to explain in this thread here! The current state of Skyblock: The first thing I would like to reach out on is the current state of Skyblock. Throughout season 9, we tested the waters on a few new things (primarily the new points system). We saw the feedback, and feel this did not work out as well as we had planned. This is going to be addressed next season. The second major aspect that in our eyes is really holding back the potential of Skyblock is our current core Skyblock plugin. For many years now, we have used a custom forked version of the public Skyblock plugin 'ASkyBlock'. This is the main Skyblock plugin which almost all servers use. Whilst we had a highly modified version of this public plugin, there was many main aspects of the plugin that were poorly made and were beyond our control to fix. Due to the poor plugin design, it was really holding us back from making some of the features that the community has been asking for (such as island permissions). What are our plans? For the past almost 4 weeks now, we have been working extremely hard completely remaking our own Skyblock plugin from scratch. I am proud to say that this plugin is getting very close to completion. This new plugin has been designed from the ground up with the future in mind, allowing for us to much more easily add new features in the future, alongside tracking the cause of bugs much easier. For any of you that have played Factions, you would have noticed that it has some very awesome features that never made its way over to Skyblock. It is time for Skyblock to get that treatment now, as next season we will be bringing over many of those much loved features such as: Island Permissions, Island Inspector, etc. Whilst this may seen small in your eyes, to us this is one of the biggest step forwards Skyblock has ever made. This important change will open up an entire new realm of possibilites for the future of Skyblock, without the structure of the plugin holding us back in ways that it has done so in the past. When is the reset releasing? Whilst yes, things are going very well on our end, we still have a bit to go. At this point in time, we do not have a clear release date on the season. When we do, we will announce it publicly (The last thing we want to do is hammer out a release time and feel the urge to rush for completion just because we set a unrealistic release timeframe). We still have a handful of things to implement. We really are wanting to make Season 10 something special, as Skyblock is one of our most loved servers, so it is time to give it what it deserves!
Hi AlexMarkey! Not sure if this thread is meant for a comment, but here it is (the thread isn't locked). One of the things about this server that makes it so great is that it has a strong sense of community and the owners and admins listen to people who play the server. It's amazing that one of the long requested features is finally being implemented! This is going to make skyblock so much better, and unique, considering almost every server that has skyblock uses the ASkyblock plugin. An island permissions command sounds so fun, since previously there were only two other ranks, other than owner, that one could have on an island: island member and co-oped. With this, it will be easy to define exactly what someone can do. Hopefully there will be a way to check what player has what permissions on your island, for example a list of people who can build. Following up on KierenBoal's mega thread of suggestions for the next season of skyblock, with a system for granting and denying levels of permissions, or individual permissions, maybe with a custom skyblock plugin you can make it so that the owner can change settings that apply to anyone who is visiting. For example, being able to interact with levers and buttons. I'm very excited for season 10, and I'm sure anyone who reads this will be as well. In the past, great things have been added to skyblock to improve it. Thanks for making a thread with a sneak-peak of the next season, I can't wait to see this!
This is exactly how the permissions system works :) There will be 5 roles: Leader, Officer, Member, Coops, Visitors You are able to tweak permissions for each of the roles so you can define exactly what players can / can't do on your island.
Im extremely excited for the reset, but when it happens I want it to be done right. So, take your time, and make this the best SkyBlock season that has been. We all know it is difficult to make this happen, and I especially am anticipating the release of the new season. Thanks, ArtGuru
Sweet as! This is the type of posts I like to see from a server owner, really communicating with their player base and not keeping us in the dark, working from the shadows anymore. I'm a huge Skyblock fan and tbh for me personally, I know recording on another server will definitely give my channel more attention and hype but I just genuinely like the Community and McCentral's simple but effective and entertaining plugins, so it just warms my heart that Skyblock is finally getting the long overdue Revamp it deserves! I hope this season will be the best season yet and will bring in more new players than ever before!
This sounds AMAZING! I mainly play skyblock 2 and it kinda gets boring there late ssn so this could keep it interesting! P.S. alex i love you pls follow me on twitch <3 <3 <3
Sorry for the somewhat unrelated response but it seemed like the only way to get in contact with server staff Dear Alex Capture the Flag is a very popular game on your server being played by hundreds of gamers throughout the day. Within the game Capture the Flag one of the oldest maps is Clash Valley being close to seven years old. As well as this has aged, it does need some updating similar to how Castle Warfare was updated. We propose to you, that we redo the map for you, integrating new aesthetics and elements from the updated version of Minecraft 1.16. We aim to keep the feel of the map the same, while still adding new gameplay. For example, the layout of Castle Warfare 1 stayed the same when Castle Warfare 2 was created, however the tunnels beneath the castles were completely overhauled. Quite simply we would like to alter the map for free. We are not exactly sure how your server runs, which is why we are getting in contact with you so that we do this correctly from the start. Optimally we would build the updated version on a world download. However, we do not know how your server runs and what would be optimal for you. Please consider our proposal. If you are interested and would like to pursue this option with us please email me at [email protected]. Cordially, oknodie and keltie_fg
Could you maybe redirect me to where I could perhaps pursue the potential option of creating a map for the server?
these new ideas of the roles on the islands will be epic! I think it was much needed and helps with adding new players to your island and learning to trust people on your team. I have loved skyblock every season honestly and never seen any major issues so if this next season is as good as its sounds like it will be im going to be absolutely thrilled! we appreciate all the hard work and dedication you are putting in towards the new season making it the best possible one we could have!!!
Hello Alex! I can't wait for the next season but like others said take your time we don't want to rush you. I'm so glad you are adding the permissions for island members such as officers. This is gonna help us out quite a bit. We all are so glad you are remaking skyblock and being different. Every season is different and I'm glad it doesn't stay the same or most of us would have left awhile ago.
So someone told me a month and a half ago that sb was going to restart in a week at that time i believed him and gave away 200mil in total because i thought reset was in a week. I would do anything for you guys to just start a new season i want to play soooo bad i dont want to rush but can you please give me a close estmate on when the new season is going to come out because im mad out of my mind
A new skyblock sounds awesome! Thank you for the hard work to make that happen and I'm excited to play it. One question (besides launch date) is keys. With a brand new plugin, are our keys we have now still going to be available in the new season?
I believe they are, each season they are so hopefully this one does as well. I myself bought some so I hope they do.
