Goodbye 1.15, Hello 1.16.3!
Blaze Skyblock has been running 1.15.2 as it's primary version for the last two seasons with enough laggy features removed to create a lag-free experience for our players. With this, we have taken the next steps to keep up to date and move to 1.16!
1.16 comes with the addition of all nether blocks, mobs and performance increases the version is packed with. All have been implemented into the new server as much as possible!
Blaze will continue to support versions 1.8 - 1.16.3. However, to be able to complete some features it will be required to run 1.16.3 (For example, Missions requires mining some of the new "Warped" Materials.) - To increase FPS on 1.16, I suggest running Sodium (FabricMC) or Optifine
The biggest Gameplay features with 1.16 include:
- Zombie Pigman quests, missions and spawners have changed to Piglin spawners, however, Zombified Piglins are also in some elements of the new server
- Hoglins have been implemented as an Island Mission
- Netherite has not been implemented as the new standard for gear.
- Netherite Blocks have replaced Black Terracotta in the Nether Generator
This has...

Introducing our new Spawn
For this map - we're saying goodbye to our current spawn and will have a brand new spawn for this map! As Blaze Skyblock has changed significantly since we had our current spawn made - it is no longer sufficient in supplying our needs
Our new spawn will come with the classic areas such as the auctionhouse, food farm and a new casino (based in a greek temple!) and an in depth tutorial area to help out new players.
One thing which we really dislike about our current spawn is the wasted space, something which will be fixed in our new spawn!
Introducing new Events: Spleef, Parkour, Juggernaught, Free for All & NEW Sumo
For this season of Skyblock, we have developed a brand new Events system featuring Spleef, Parkour, Juggernaut, Free for All and Sumo. These will run on a completely random schedule every four hours (this does not mean the same event will run at the same time every...

Greetings Skyblock Players!
We are now at the midpoint of the competitive Skyblock experience and you may be wondering what happened to the changelog last week? Well after moderating things that were going on in skyblock we felt that releasing a changelog just for the sake of it wouldn't do anyone any good and honestly, we were happy with the state of skyblock. This thread's main focus is some new stuff rather than changes; there will also be a summary of all the changes and minor bug fixes pushed throughout the last week in case anyone missed them! This is what you have to look forward to after the reboot today:
August Monthly crate
- August Monthly Crate
- New Tags
- Bug fixes, QOL and nerfs
This promises to have the loot all of you have been needing to gear up for the rest of the skyblock season. Packed with some of the new things being introduced as well as a LOT of goodies that may help your progression on those pesky scrolls and missions!
Grab one for yourself at Store.mc-blaze.com
New Tags
This week we will be introducing a number of new tags into the tokenshop, these will not only be limited time but also may cost a little bit more than usual for that added exclusivity
Bugs QOL and Nerfs
Through the week we have seen several "META" strategies start to develop. We aren't here to stop them but we feel that it is necessary to ensure a stable rest of the season if we slightly adjust a few things. The changes are as follows
- Pigmen drops were slightly nerfed in the weeks
- endermite drops were slightly buffed in the weeks
- mystery man has been updated with some new price ranges and new items to be more balanced
Thanks for an awesome first half of the season!

Greetings Skyblock Players!
The first week of the new Skyblock season sure has been hectic, with teams fighting to complete all the island missions as quick as possible as well as a fair few relaxing, quietly confident about their ability to come out on top. While that has been going on, we have been keeping a close and watchful eye on everyone and have decided that at each weekend we will be releasing changes and possibly new features. This will not interfere with island top as it will happen after the winners are announced each week. The changes will be live from the reboot following final island top calculation for that week; there will also be a summary of all the changes and minor bug fixes pushed throughout the last week in case anyone missed them! This is what you have to look forward to after the reboot today:
Crop Hoppers
- Introduction of proper crop hoppers (allowing certain farms to be built)
- A buff to minions such as the farmer, fisher and lumberjack
- Increased sell price for ALL crops
- New Tags and other Token Shop changes
- Bug fixes, QOL and nerfs
These have replaced the old chunk collectors in the hoppershop (/hshop). They act in a very similar way, offering the ability to pick up a type of crop in a whole chunk as soon as it is harvested. Some examples are below
Minion Changes
From what we saw, farms have made a comeback in skyblock, though they are still not where we would like them to be and we feel that farmer minions as well as fisher and lumberjack are in need of a buff! From the reboot you can enjoy increased catch rates on fish and a much larger farming area for your farmer minions (max level being 12x12x12 radius!
Shop Changes
With regard to the minion changes above, we have decided to make some changes to shop prices. The changes are as follows:
Cocoa Beans: $3.5 -> $4
Netherwart: $3.5 -> $5
Sugarcane: $5 -> $7.5
Melon: $6.5 -> $10
Pumpkin: $6.5 -> $10
Wheat: $2 -> $3.5
Brown Mushroom: $2 -> $7.5
Red Mushroom: $2 -> $7.5
Carrot: $3 -> $4
Potato: $3 -> $4
Beetroot: $3 -> $4
Kelp: $1.5 -> $5.5
New Tags & Token Shop
