1 month ago, the Skyblock server officially completed it's typical 6 month cycle without a reset.
This thread was written simply to address some of the additions and changes, as well as tackle some questions for those of you who are not familiarized with the concept of "full server resets" already.
When will the server be reset?
We plan on resetting the server on Tuesday, July 7th 2020 @ 2 PM EST, however the server will be whitelisted until then, starting Monday, July 6th 2020 @ 4 PM EST. The reason we whitelist for such a long period of time before fully re-opening the server is because we need time to properly move over new content & changes, as well as to verify everything is fully functioning and in working order before launching the server.
All of the above will be reset on the date specified, we do these biannual resets to take items, balance, statistics and such out of the cycle, essentially refreshing the server and putting everyone on a level playing ground for a while. This also gives us a chance to put in new brand new content.
Version Upgrade
The server will now run on an entirely different version of Minecraft compared to the other servers on the network at this current moment in time. Not only will this allow most if not all players using newer versions above 1.8.9 onto the server (might not be enabled on the day of reset rather following it soon after), it gives us a lot more freedom to expand in terms of content. Think of this as a stepping stone for us, letting us utilize cool new mechanics & such from newer versions for updates.
Everything up until 1.12.2 items / mechanics etc. will be implemented (other than the new PvP mechanics), all blocks / items will be substituted on older versions (e.g. an Acacia Boat on 1.12.2 will appear as a regular boat for those on 1.8.9 due to there being only one type).
Future Plans
We plan on giving Skyblock content updates throughout it's cycle before another full reset, there are several things that will be worked on dependent on community requests. Any aspect of gameplay could be changed.
End of thread
Not everything changed or added was stated in this thread, only some of the largest changes/additions just to keep this thread clean & interesting. We plan on making this summer enjoyable for every community, so even if you're not a Skyblock player, keep an eye out for a post about Survival soon.
