Skyblock - Hints and tips

[SheTolerance Admin 96]

Calling all Skyblockers!

 

I thought it could be a good idea to collaborate some hints and tips for fellow skyblockers, and also to those new to the server.

 

So please reply with a handy tip that helps you on skyblock.  

 

My Tip:

 

When you fall off your island (and you will!) type /is h as quick as you can. You will probably die from fall damage but will not lose your stuff. The longer you play this game, the quicker you type /is h.

Add a 3x3 water or slimeblock grid @ your /is home this will even prevent dead

Hoppers, lava, water and leaves will let through beacon rays, this will make it possible to make a 4 beacons pyramid under each iron farm tower

Sleeping when alone, or if everyone sleeps at the same time it will become day

There is an enchantment table at /warp shops

If you want to make money head over to /is warp vertigolf and see what he is currently buying 

 

Take the leap

Best way to move grass spread upwards:

 

X = Grass block

 

M = Dirt block

 

-- = Torch

 

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

 

M

--

M

--

M

--

M

--

X

 

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

 

The grass will spread upwards easily and this method requires less dirt to spread.

Take the leap

the leap is safe as you cross through 8 blocks of ocean <- currently buying glowstone and quartz block for 4$ each which is good price ; dirt and iron on 5$

Use snow as a cheap way to pillar out over the void for building. More economical than watching all that cobble dropping into the void. If you're using it as scaffolding, anything that drops onto your build can be recrafted into snow blocks again. Also a cheap building material for new builds. Mob grinder, iron farm...you name it.

1. Light up your island. We dont like mobs

2. The challenges /cc TheArrow ( 1 stack of arrows ) will give you 3 blocks of slime. If you have a mob grinder, you can farm this. then make all that into slime balls  /cc SlimeFarmer which gives you redstone. after do /cc GoGreen

 

Very good right There, You get rich, very fast.

1. First rule of skyblock, don't talk about skyblock.

2. Reread rule 1.

3. Try not to die.

4. Forget rule 3, you will die A LOT.

5. When you are a pleb and just starting out you can especially ignore rule 3, aka jump off of your island when you get hungry but have no food.

6. Make an awesome island.
