Skyblock Suggestions

Skyblock Suggestions ​

Intro​

With the help of 12 people from multiple top Islands across Skyblock, we have made a list of Ideas that we think could possibly repopulate Skyblock and keep people active. This is a light sketch of what was going to be a more In depth detailed post, but even with the short notice we’d still like to get our Ideas out there for this upcoming season and possibly future seasons to come. Keep in mind these Ideas were thought of before we saw the changelog.

Meta Balances/Changes​

• Possibly bring back needing tokens to buy spawners, but make it 1-5 tokens per spawner. This would give people a reason to farm for them long term
  
  
• Nerf NW - This is a very touchy subject. Possible changes could be only allowing 1 account to farm per IP address. Buff other things like fishing/envoy to make people more inclined to do that instead of farming. Auto sell for premium hoes is balanced but treasure hunter flooding inventories gets annoying.
  
  
• Silverfish - make them produce slightly less and have them produce emerald blocks instead of emeralds so it’s not as painful to transfer to the vault / place them. No one wants to spend 3 hours a day blocking and moving emeralds to the vault

Nether Rework​

• Generator Should give 1% spawner efficiency boost each level, with level 100 being the max
  
  
• Be able to increase how many points phantoms give or how many spawn with robot gems.
  
  
• Add the wheel of fortune to the Nether from prison - crops instead of blocks?
  
  
• Nether generator - make it so the double souls give double points, not just double time
  
  
• Change the robot gem buffs, most are completely useless.

PvP​

• Bring back the Old boss or revamp the new one. Old bosses used to move around and people would spawn into one arena with the same gear. Much more active and fair. The new boss is ruled by people who have multiple p5 sets and it just sits there.
  
  
• Revamp Envoys - Envoys aren't terrible right now but buffing them slightly would make non-pvpers more inclined to go for them.
  
  
• Add more pvp events for the people who pvp. Pvp is fairly dead unless envoy or boss is on

Skills
​

• Skills Rework - Right now skills are pretty useless other than Farmer skill. Skill could either focus on farming and have different branches of levels players can choose from to make farming better.
  
  
• Allow crop bombs to be able to hit crops through blocks
  
  
• Revamp the quests system - Quests are pretty useless. If there was a free battle pass type of quests system where players could progress overtime and get valuable things like tokens or spawners, it would give people a reason to do them. Maybe a key at the end. Quests should take long and maybe only 1 weeks worth of quests will open up at a time so players have a reason to come back. Could affect skill level
  
  
• Make placing diamonds / emeralds and mining ores bought from shop included in the mining skill.

Items/features​

• Treasure Hunter backpack - Would fill up with items collected from farming with treasure hunter on a premium hoe. Maybe Instead of getting banknotes, the money goes straight to your balance. Could be found in keys
  
  
• /vault command - Maybe a perk given through keys or a command unlocked through a rank. Or just a new Island command.
  
  
• Item Trees - Examples could be token, banknote, level, and spawner trees. These start as saplings and can be acquired from maybe keys or doing specific quests/challenges. These trees would grow slowly and overtime would die. During their lifespan they drop Items and become better as time goes on.
  
  
• /void chest - maybe a perk or new island upgrade.
  
  
• Island Lock Wand - Would allow players to open and close specific parts of their island. This would prevent people from getting into grinders or farms on open islands with warps.
  
  
• Skyblock pets - Specific pets to skyblock, would give you buffs depending on the pet such as pets for pvp and farming, and can be leveled up. can only have one equipped at a time. Unlocked from maybe keys/quests or once you reach a certain skill level.
  
  
• Item Rotations in /shop - This could be things like tokens or sell wands where players have a chance to buy from /shop but only for a short period of time. Items could rotate daily, weekly and monthly. 15% shop discount wouldn't count for these Items. In a separate part of the /shop named daily / weekly deals or something
  
  
• Buff Voting - atm it gives mediocre rewards so people don't really vote
  
  
• milestone system, first team to get 100k, 500k, 1mill, etc gets a reward, first to 100m, 250m, etc gets a reward. First person to max a specific skill, or reach a specific skill level. Nothing much but can motivate people to play for longer if there’s late game milestones.
  
  
• Void chest, a chest that retrieves items that have fallen into the void, obtainable from events such as boss, envoy, keys, etc.
  
  
• Add chat events where u have to msg an npc to win, such as unscrambling a word the fastest, typing a word the fastest, a math question. Get some money as a reward. Have the npc say who won at the end.

Island Changes​

• Increase Hopper Limit- decreases the need for alt islands. having unlimited spawners with a 1k hopper limit is ridiculous
  
  
• Be able to Unlock Nether Island but keep Overworld locked at the same time.
  
  
• Have a wand similar to the world edit wand, but can set borders on your island, so you can have the private part of your island locked while having your public part unlocked. Also be able to have a specific part of your island have pvp enabled but people need to have pvp enabled themselves to access it.
  
  
• Is perm that allows teammates to open shop chests
  
  
• Is perm that allows trusted members to deposit emeralds to the vault
  
  
• Make a 4th rank for islands, atm we have leader, officer, member. Having a co leader rank would make it a lot easier to spread out perms between members
  
  
• Add user specific perms, a lot easier being able to click on someone's name on /is perms and change what they can access and makes perms more customizable

Keys​

• SkyBlock Specific keys - Ancients and Mythics should have key specific Items so they are still good. Spawner, Perk, Money, and Item keys could let players roll on things with a better chance for what they are looking for. People would be more likely to buy keys late season if they need specific things.
  
  
• Make chunk loaders easier to get. Most people can't afk 24/7, and spawners producing drops shouldn't be a p2w feature. Maybe make them a /shop Item for 10 Mil+
  
  
• Make compost bins either more common or make them drop 3 - 4 instead of 2. They’re way too rare

Quality of Life​

• Right clicking on the upgrades on /is upgrade should give a list of all the upgrades and prices

• When you /stats someone it also brings up their CF career stats
  
  
• MCC website, revamp the leaderboard to look more appealing / give more information and show the team names
  
  
• Rework /help. Make it have a list of all the commands in different categories. not a link to the mcc store/voting website.
  
  
• Make points player bound not island bound, make them withdrawable or an item like tokens.
  
  
• Give some kind of recognition to the top Islands when the season ends - (Hall of fame, custom tags)
  
  
• Have a command for logging the emerald vault, such as how there’s /is bank log, /is chest log
  
  
• When your Items expire on /ah they should sit in the collection bin for at least a month instead of 1 week.
  
  
• Add specific sections to AH so it's more organized
  
  
• Add a command that shows people who have recently paid you money or who you have paid.
  
  
• Make the #1 player in the top players area 1 block above #2, and #2 be one block above #3 like a real podium. Have #1 be in the middle
  
  
• Prefixes for the people who were either on the top island, or on the top 3 islands, that only show on sb e.g.
  
  
• Add all the decorative blocks back to the shop so people who want to have a nice island don’t need to farm 24/7 to get the blocks
  
  
• Add an optional NPC at spawn that new players can click on that gives them a full tutorial on SB, economy, how all the commands work, and how the islands work.

As always we want to see Skyblock become the best it can be. Any feedback would be appreciated.


Much obliged
