What is Skyblock? #
Skyblock is a building game in Minecraft that challenges players to build and expand a small, floating island, starting with almost nothing and growing your riches. There is no land and no mining or exploring. You have what you create. You can form teams to build islands. Islands earn points and can rise up the rankings.
What is Addstar Skyblock? #
Addstar uses a modified version of the uSkyBlock plugin. This is a single-mode Skyblock game using vanilla minecraft mechanics. Players start on a small island with a few basic supplies, including lava, water, a tree, grass, and sand. Some blocks can be created or crafted naturally. Some are awarded after passing Skyblock Challenges.
How is Skyblock different than Survival? #
In many ways, Skyblock acts like a Survival world. Time passes normally, mobs spawn in the dark (and kill you if you’re careless), long falls hurt, and you can build with only the items you can gather. However in other ways, Skyblock changes the rules.
- There are limits on animals, mobs, and golems on your island
- You can use Skyblock Challenges to get some items
- You can change the biome on your island
- In the Nether, breaking blocks sometimes spawns new blocks
- Guardians can spawn without an Ocean Monument and Wither Skeletons can spawn without a Nether Fortress

Skyblock Challenges #
Challenges are how you advance in Skyblock. Some items are impossible to obtain without passing challenges, and passing challenges in order will help you build your island. Currently there are 50 challenges in 8 ranks. The first challenge you need to pass is called Apple Collector. To pass the challenge, you trade away 3 apples and receive 1 sapling of each tree type. You can then use those saplings to create different kinds of wood for future builds and challenges. Many challenges are repeatable, however when you repeat them the requirements may increase.
Challenges can be accessed and completed through the challenge GUI /c, through the command /c c (challenge name) or through the use of chest signs.
Challenge Chest Signs – Signs placed on chests can use the contents of that chest to complete a challenge. Place a sign on the side of the chest. On the first line type “[usb]”. Hit [Enter] and on the 2nd line type the name or partial name of the challenge. For example “cactus farmer”.

Skyblock Levels #
Islands earn points for each block that is placed within the island boundaries. Items in chests or inventories do not give points. The basic block is Cobblestone, which is worth 1 point. Other types of blocks may be worth more. Sand is worth 2 points and tilled farmland is worth 4 points. 100 points makes a level. You can see your island ranking by using the /is level command.

Market #
Skyblock has a Market World for players to set up their own player shops at /market. Buy items from other player’s shops, or sell your own items by purchasing a plot and setting up QuickShops using chests. Plots cost $10,000 to claim.
The quickest way to look for items to purchase is to use /ms find (item). Then click on the shop owners name in the chat list to teleport directly to the shop location.
Players can use /fly while in the Market World, however you will have to bring your own building materials and shop supplies from your Skyblock Island in order to set up and stock your market.
See more information on the Player Market Wiki page.
