Alright, new upside to it being in a snow biome: Endermen die in snowstorms. Didn't even realize I'd triggered one, but suddenly I saw a lot of purple sparkles everywhere. It took me a while to realize it was taking damage.

I had an unfortunate death...I was crouching at the ledge and just happened to sneeze, pressing the space bar and jumped off the ledge into the void. Other than that this is a great challenge. Keep up the great work!!!
This is a simply amazing idea! I look forward to testing my survival skills :smile.gif: I'll keep posted :smile.gif:

Lava + Water = Cobblestone.

2.Build a house.
3.Expand the island.
4.Make a melon farm.
5.Make a pumpkin farm.
6.Make a reed farm.

Note: 1.9 PR will set you in a snow biome (1.8 will not). When it starts snowing the snow can cover your exposed saplings, seeds, torches, etc.. Make sure you make some sort of ceiling to protect the item. If it's a sapling, or a seed make sure there is also room for it to grow. You will lose the item if you do not do so.
Note: Removing the block that you spawned on, and not placing a block back, ( So if there is no block on your spawn point) then dieing may spawn you elsewhere as it is too small to pick a spawn close by, so it spawns you on the mainland, and it will be impossible to get back, Be careful!
This is fixed on the New 1.0 and 1.1
Changes for SkyBlock 1.0 and 1.1
Different items.
1.9 PR will set you in a snow biome.
More dirt as farming is more important for hunger.
Maps are more challenging.

Thank you TheJupiterSailfish and AlexOfDuty for your awesome videos of this Map! These videos are Part 1, Check out their channel for part 2,3, etc. ( They are playing previous version 1.1)
Sorry I can not post every video about SkyBlock Here, I did not except 200+ Let's plays and videos of SkyBlock in 1 day.
I would like to thank whoever posted my map on minecraft.fr, I appreciate it ALOT! Thank you. http://minecraft.fr/skybloc/
If you wish to support and love this map, Put this in your Signature!
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the larger skyblock island is situated in a cold biome area, which means that (for 1.9 at least) my water keeps freezing into ice-- which causes me to fall to my death when my water scaffold suddenly disappears. =P
Could you please move the island to a warmer biome where the water won't keep icing over?
Suggestion for a future, harder version : Force players to make a mob trap/farm/grinder/arena/etc. for resources such as string/bone (bonemeal) and then remove all things that bonemeal can generate when used on soil; most people probably have already done this when playing and it wouldn't change much, just an idea.
This should remove the need for the bone and string in the starting chest - any other thoughts on how to make it harder?
An idea to make this more difficult: Nether mode. You are on a small island in the nether you have all of the regular equipment. Only the top level is dirt, the middle is soul sand and the bottom netherrack. Naturally ghasts will spawn frequently. I believe that will be a hard enough challenge.
Want to take it up a "notch?" Make the following changes to the map.
A. Remove red mushroom from chest. (The mushroom soup and large red mushroom goal still applies)
B. Add (+9) lava.
Pro-tip: You do not need flint&steel to activate a portal.
Ultra-pro Bonus Goals:
#21. Capture a Ghast in a confined cage, only slightly bigger than itself.
#22. Make a golden forest on the original island home.
Enjoy =)
Okay, I'm curious. Where do I get red mushrooms without one to start with? How do you light a nether portal without flint&steel? And what the heck is a golden forest?

Operation 'Will Most Likely End Badly' is a go."

The pumpkin seed got crushed by a skele. But I did have a farm for most of the time.

Like I said before the pumpkin farm got trampled by a skele therefore I was only able to make 8 of them.

Yes, There is no rule on which difficulty to set it to. So whatever flows your boat :tongue.gif:

What use would soul sand have?
