HOOOSK

It's that time of the month again (even though it's a couple days late!): Time to vote for which challenge you would like to become permanent. Since NethernLights won last month, it is now a permanent part of the Skyblock Challenges. All past options have also been put back into the polls. See below if you need a refresher to remember what those challenges offered. Warning: challenges can only lose a ballot 3 times. This means if SandStorm doesn't win, it will be forever gone. Remember: The winning challenge will be slightly nerfed. We will be posting July's temporary challenges in a day or two. Get your votes in now! \

Brobe, I've noticed your awesome building skills! I'm very impressed! I'm glad you're having fun here. We love having you around.

Congrats! I need to get back to work to stay up there!

ZTolerance IS the best! Hope you had a good birthday, verti!

With big video game announcements right around the corner, it's the perfect time to show love for your favorite video games! Build your favorite level from Mario Bros., create pixel art of your favorite character, or make a Pac-man maze. It's your choice! Have fun! Click here to view the announcement

Nope. Both were taken away from the built spawn. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the instructions.

Counting only things that were built as the spawn. Here is my entry for hardcore: y:101

It's [member = name] without the spaces.

No compass tool or warps allowed. Simple parkouring is the key. Also consider the multiple island areas in Skyblock spawn as different arenas.

Coolpig5342 and I invented a new game that we want to share with you guys. Let's call it "Y High". //////////////////////////////////// Goal: Without flying or double-jumping, what's the highest y-level point you can get in the lobby and each of the server spawns? //////////////////////////////////// Post a screenshot for proof of your highest point. I'll start adding mine soon. //////////////////////////////////// Current Leaderboard: Survival Spawn - Gsdcs @ y:106 Hardcore Spawn - Husker @ y:101

We originally turned it off so people in snow biomes wouldn't get snowed in. We can take a poll to see if other players are in favor of turning weather back on. What are your thoughts?

Nick makes me apply for owner each day. IDK why I allow him that power over me.

How do you build "communist-themed"?

Hallo, it's me! I should really start these out with "Dear Diary", but that's lame. Here's an update on my thoughts: Last time I posted that my main goal with PickAxis atm is growth. Knowing this doesn't happen on its own, I am becoming more and more dedicated to action towards this goal. Each night I plan to come home from work and spend 2 hours, uninterrupted, working on server stuff. Then I will allow myself to socialize. Don't be alarmed if I don't reply to your messages during that time. I just want to be able to give as much of myself as I can each day. What's the first order of business? I want to tie up loose ends around the server like finishing spawns and build projects I've started. This should hopefully be finished by the end of this coming weekend. After that I am going to focus on making more YouTube videos and streaming. I can't expect our Ambassadors to do something that I am not. On the side there are a few other projects I would like to take on, but need to prioritize them yet: Tutorial Island on SkyblockFinish bigger player shop on SurvivalFind better, additional protection plugin for SurvivalPlan out leveling progression for the Skygrid serverPlan out leveling progression for the Prison serverFinish building the Prison serverMake some maps for upcoming mini-gamesWork on the PickAxis wikiBuild the new lobbyetc., etc., etc.If you would like to help with any of those topics, please let me know. As you can see, there is a lot to get done and since I don't want to allow failure (see last post), I am doing everything in my power to support the network. We're already treading into warm waters with our player count goals. Summer is a fun time to get your friends on PickAxis. The more people we have on, the more fun it is. Anyway, I need to stop rambling. If you have more things to add to the list or want to help minimize my list, let me know. I'll be seeing you around.

We hope you enjoyed the temporary challenges we had in May (WhatTheNether, LoudLibrarian, & AprilShowers). You voted and chose to resurrect the NethernLights challenge (from April) permanently. It's been slightly changed, but is now a permanent part of the Special challenges on Skyblock. For June, we have 3 new temporary challenges: You also receive a lime wool block with each June challenge you complete. Do you like June's challenges? Are you happy NethernLights is back? Have ideas for July's challenges? Let us know in the comments. Click here to view the announcement
