The time has finally come to give Skyblock the love it deserves. This upcoming season will be our 12th season of Skyblock, and it is safe to say this is our biggest and best update yet! This upcoming season of Skyblock will be bringing forward a plethora of new content to keep players entertained with a fresh new face on Skyblock, adding a brand new dimension (The Nether)! This changelog will detail all changes big and small which players can expect to see next season. We look forward to seeing everyone on the 3rd July 3pm MST!

This upcoming season we have gone above and beyond to deliver exactly this! Islands will unlock access to this new dimension upon levelling their overworld island up to level 100. This nether island is a vital part of the gameplay, and home to many unique and custom features (such as lava fishing, robots, personal mining generators and of course the heart of it all - your islands power generator which must be fueled with souls by slaughtering Power Phantoms). More detailed information on these Nether Island features are listed below in this changelog. Power Generator The Power Generator is the heart of your Nether Island which now plays a vital role in the Skyblock gameplay. Players can provide fuel to their generator by slaughtering the Power Phantoms which surround it. Killing phantoms will result in the generator absorbing their souls as fuel. Keeping your power generator running will grant your island with awesome buffs such as Increased spawner efficiency on your overworld island. Keeping your power generator fueled is also a necessity to supply power to the new 'Robots' and 'Mining Generators', both of which are located on your Nether Island (more information on these below). It is in your best interest to keep this generator running as much as possible for the most efficient island possible. Imagine trying to live your life without the convenience of power! Mining Generators 2 seasons ago we introduced Mining Generators to our Skyblock server. Mining generators are the alternative way for players to obtain blocks (for those who wish to put in the work themselves rather than purchasing directly from the shop). In the past, these generators have been a public shared warp. As of this upcoming season, these generators have now found a brand new home on your very own island! Thats right, every islands nether world will now have their own private mining generators to obtain blocks from (so no more dealing with other pesky players stealing your ores). Do note: These generators will only function if your power generator has fuel in it! Emerald Vault For those who play Skyblock competitively, this feature is definitely one you will love! Located inside your islands nether world is a secure place to store your Emerald Blocks. Previously the main way to level up your Skyblock island was by placing Emerald Blocks. Not only was this an extremely time consuming process, it was a very ugly one as well! It tore our hearts to see players rip apart their beautiful islands in order to place stacks of Emerald Blocks for island levels. Emerald Blocks can be deposited directly into the Emerald Vault which will then count towards your Island Value and Island Level. Placing thousands of blocks is now a thing of the past with this convenient new feature! Skill System & Lava Fishing Skills are a brand new addition this upcoming season of Skyblock. Skills are a personal statistic which players can now grind. As of next season we will have 4 available skills for players to progress through: Farming, Fishing, Mining and Slayer. Each skill comes with its very own unique ability to assist you through your Skyblock adventure. Progress your skills through up to 250 levels, buffing out your abilities along the way! Your total skill level will be displayed in chat and tablist to flex just how good you are at Skyblock! Some of the abilities include awesome buffs such as a chance to randomly dig up a Fertlizer Bomb whilst farming, or an increased chance of catching treasure whilst lava fishing. Lava fishing works hand in hand with the brand new Skill System and Nether Island. Located in your nether island, you will find a lot of lava! You will find that this lava is very special (It is radioactive caused from the Power Generator)! Fishing in this lava will be an effective way to progress your Fishing Skill. If you're lucky you will catch some awesome treasures from those pesky radioactive lava fish. Nether Robots Robots can be found on your Nether Island. Robots are unlocked by levelling up your Power Generator (which can be done by killing phantoms). This power generator is also responsible for keeping your robots fueled and running! Whilst your robots are running, they will mine for Robots Gems which can be used to purchase unique island upgrades (known as skill amplifiers)! To make the most out of your Skyblock experience, you will definitely want to invest in as many amplifiers as possible. Leveling up your skills is an important aspect of Skyblock, so purchasing amplifiers will be a sure certain way to make the most out of your time whilst grinding! Miscellaneous Changes A lot of time has gone towards this Skyblock Reset. We really wanted to push ourselves to change this gamemode to keep everything feeling fresh and new once again (lets be honest - Skyblock has not undergone any 'major' changes in many seasons now). Alongside the above changes, players can expect to see many more quality of life and balancing changes (For example everyone will now receive access to a FREE 'Basic Harvest Hoe'). Voting has also been remade from the ground up, with the implementation of a 'Voting Villager' to more effectively reward players who help our server out. We know this season is going to be an awesome one, and we look forward to seeing you there! As always, Enjoy. - Skyblock 12.0 Trailer - A huge thank you to our staff member 89p for putting together this epic trailer for the upcoming reset! Minecraft Central Presents: The Nether Update
