Skyblock Mini

A minimalist's skyblock based on the Protosky mod.

Skyblock Mini is a mostly-vanilla version of Skyblock that gives few concessions to the players. It is based on the Protosky mod which allows it to be used with any world seed.

Overview

All blocks have been removed from all dimensions with only a few exceptions:

• In The Overworld there is a Spawn Island which holds a lava source, a water source, and a single oak tree. There is also a Cave Vine hanging from its bottom and a Sculk Shrieker at the bottom of the world.
• In The Nether there is a bit of Crimson Nylium and Warped Nylium attached to a simple Nether Portal, along with cocoa beans in a chest.
• In The End, the Obsidian Platform, Obsidian Pillars, End Crystals and Exit End Portal have been preserved. Beneath the Obsidian Platform is a cage holding a single Allay, the floor of which is lined with mycelium. In the End Cities, the Elytra Item Frames have also been kept.

Changes from vanilla

There are a few crafting recipes that have been added:

• 2x2 Coral and Coral Fans can be crafted into 1 Coral block of the corresponding type.
• 2x2 Weeping vines can be crafted into 1 Netherrack.
• 1 Nether Star and 2 Shulker Shells can be crafted into 1 Budding Amethyst, much like crafting a shulker box.
• 1 Sculk Shrieker surrounded by 8 Echo Shards can be crafted into 1 Summoning Sculk Shrieker capable of summoning the Warden.

Mob drops have also been modified:

• The Wither has a chance to drop 1 Ancient debris when killed by a player.
• The Warden will drop 2-6 Echo shards when killed by a player.

Setup

Server setup

Skyblock Mini is meant to be run on a dedicated server. Of course it can be run on an integrated server in single player, but that is left as an exercise to the reader.

First you'll need to get a fabric server setup. Get the fabric installer and set it up in the usual way.

Next, you'll need the excellent Protosky and Nbt Crafting mods. Drop them into your mods/ folder and you're good to go.

World setup

If you want to go the easy route, you can find a world download in the releases page. Just download it and add it to your server and you are ready to play!

If you want to play Skyblock Mini with a different seed, follow these instructions:

1. Create the ./mods/ folder in your server directory and add the Protosky and Nbt Crafting mods to it.
2. Create the ./world/datapacks folder and add the Skyblock Mini datapack to it.
3. Create the ./eula.txt file with the contents eula=true.
4. Start the fabric server.
5. Start playing!

Automated world setup

Note: Only Linux servers are currently supported

The easiest way to get a server up and running is via an automated script. Run the following command to download and run the script, and then follow the prompts:

wget "https://github.com/kwvanderlinde/mc-skyblock-mini/releases/latest/download/setup_skyblock_mini.sh" && chmod +x setup_skyblock_mini.sh && ./setup_skyblock_mini.sh
