The number refers to the percent chance that said block will spawn in the generator, for example, redstone ore has a 10 percent chance of spawning. There are no commands related to this new feature.
Control Panel
This now allows you guys to change the settings of your island to your liking. Use the command `/island controlpanel` in-game to access this. I will also add this to the `/skyblock` GUI.
Island Warps
Other people wanted to be able to teleport to other players' islands with ease- now you can! Simply place a sign on your island that has `[Welcome]` on the top line (the square brackets are needed).
Island Levels
This means that the server now has a slight competitive edge. If you use the command `/island level` in-game, it calculated the total value of all blocks placed on your island. The calculated number then places you on an island leaderboard that can be seen by running the command `/island top`.
Tree Growth
This is just a quirky addition to the server. You can now "twerk" on trees (shift on trees) to make them grow much, much faster. All this does is speed up the skyblock process & I thought you guys would like it!
Planned Updates for Tomorrow
✸ A way to sell your items for grass blocks
✸ The 'donation' update (all prior donators will be given ranks/items/perks etc.)
On voting, a player will receive x1 Heart of the Sea from each website, as opposed to the grass blocks used before. Here is the list of items in the vote shop (with prices):
✸ Compressed Ice | x1 Heart of the Sea
✸ Shulker Shells | x3 Hearts of the Sea
✸ Golden Apple (enchanted) | x5 Hearts of the Sea
✸ Turtle Egg | x10 Hearts of the Sea
✸ Enchantment Table | x15 Hearts of the Sea
✸ Totem of Undying | x15 Hearts of the Sea
✸ Elytra | x35 Hearts of the Sea
Decorations Shop
I have made a fresh, updated, decorations shop. Items can be purchased with zombie heads (like the vote shop). Here is a list of example items you can purchase:
✸ All types of sapling (for a high price, 15 Hearts of the Sea per sapling type)
✸ All variations of tulip (red, white, orange, pink)
✸ All the colourful, common flowers (e.g. allium, blue orchid, azure bluet)
✸ All large flower types (lilac, rose bush, peony)
Weekly Shop
The weekly shop is a merchant that will be updated manually by UEMURAWF. It is located next to the decoration and vote shops. Example items:
✸ Nether quartz
✸ Sand, gravel
✸ Obsidian
Island Changes
We were previously using the standard set islands provided by the plugin. I have now made my own schematics. You'll now be able to play on the classic L-shape island as seen in the very early stages of skyblock maps (all 3 dimensions, not just the overworld).
Island Teaming
You can now invite players to your island using the command /island team invite [player]. I was an idiot and didn't realise you needed 'team' in there for the plugin to work.
Island Level & Top
Both features now work flawlessly thanks to @Asalar. Use /island level to calculate your islands worth and /island top to see the islands with the highest block value.
Updates OTW
✸ Donator features (I promise this time)
✸ An updated /skyblock GUI that contains more features
. Remember, you can change back to plains at any time free of charge.
2) Island Challenges /island challenges
This is the main part of the update. Biomes are cool for sure, but challenges will really enhance player experience. It provides more of a motive to play skyblock (especially a vanilla version like we have). Challenges are split into 5 categories:
✸ Novice
✸ Competent
✸ Expert
✸ Advanced
✸ Elite
Once a player completes a challenge, they are rewarded with a small prize (e.g. x10 dirt). However, upon finishing an entire category a player will receive a much better reward, sometimes even a prolonged potion effect.
Other Updates
1) Custom Commands
Instead of having the ugly /skyblock GUI, I've decided to make a series of custom commands and responses (so far we have /rules, but I plan on adding commands to vote, get in-game help, obtain a Discord link and a store link.
2) Advertising
For the past week, I've done no advertising whatsoever. I'm going to write up a short advertising plan and stick to it in the hope of finding new players to grow the community. I'd like to get back to the 7-10 player count. Please, please, please invite your friends to play on the server! I'll be adding some sort of manual referral system soon too.
