Sorry to rain on your parade with my pessimism but I'm annoyed with how almost every map which en-cooperates the Void is instantly shuffled off as a SkyBlock rip-off, I've even seen maps created prior to SkyBlock being called SkyBlock rip-offs. It's getting to a point where a lot of the map creation community are unwilling to use the Void within their maps out of fear that their map will be labeled as a none creative imitation. I understand that when the map is just a small box of dirt and grass it's a SkyBlock rip-off, but there's a difference between inspiration and blatant plagiarism which a lot of the SkyBlock fan-base do not understand.
Edit: See post above me. That sums up my previous statement. I've even seen people calling the SkyLands Alpha map and Vechs Infernal Sky CTM map SkyBlock Ripoffs. This is getting ridiculous.
I have not encouraged anyone to go around to other maps calling them skyblock rip-offs, So I don't know why you posted your complaint to this thread. Yes it is getting a little out of hand but, Theres really nothing I can do about it..
Im not sure what you could have done more (perhaps added more islands, that have items that are not in the V1 chest)
Im not so much complaining as just saying it seems pretty pointless to spend that extra bit of time for the sand and such... It is unneccesary. And adding in the nether thing - yeah good idea, but again kinda pointless.
Im sorry but to me the additions in V2 where kinda pointless (still love the map, Just I prefer V1 over V2)
Uhm... Most of the challenges are "basic" such as tree farm and ifinite water source.
The fences challenges and such would be similar to having to make 40 stone bricks, or 10 bookcases. Or paintings lol
More challenges just gives more reason to keep playing, and working on making more things!
Alright, I could just make an extra version (like 2.2) without the sand island and merging the crops and stuff into the main chest, then I could put 7 sand in the middle of the island so you could make a faster cactus farm then once you are done with that, you could make the 16 panes of glass with still 1 sand leftover. Lol I don't know why I said the challenges were basic (maybe cause it was 2am when I replied to that message) I didn't even think of my own challenges lol
Edit: Ok, I added more challenges, I'm sure thats as much as I can do, if you have any suggestions for more let me know.
I'm having to agree with the idea of these islands.. spreading items around really only adds to taking longer to collect them all and now having a long bridge to connect to it.
The sand island is annoying, you can't even touch it unless you use a watervator to make a platform under it to mine it... It was very annoying to having spent a lot of time on the first play through and having the whole thing fall.
Now on the 2nd and after making a bridge and stopping it one block from the island, was able to reach the chest and grab the items to take back and start my farm. I left the end of the long bridge with out torches and blocked it off to make a semi mob spawnner until I make a real one. So I have a collection of bones, string, and other mob drops.
I haven't even messed with the nether yet and I'm pretty much set, I'm guessing the nether chest had the other waterblock, bonemeal and string yes? So in a sense I don't have to erect the portal unless I want that water block for the inf watersorce... so there does not seem to be any real reason to go in aside that.
Also, the challenges to make animals spawn should NOT be included. That is a bug. Normally animals are spawned with the chunks, but you removed them with MCedit. There is a slim bug that may make the animals assigned to those chunks load up once you move away and return, 'reloading' those chunks as you come closer.
In the end, I did the same things on this that I did with the 1.1 version, only difference is it having taken longer to collect all the items.
I would have loved to see you having add in the new grass block for the mushroom biome. Maybe just ONE block of it with a goal to have x smount of it... it be something else to manage along with the grass and could be used in creative ways for a mushroom farm.
No challanges still for making x amount of fences/sighs/tables thats been suggested a few times.
The only new challange to this map really is making the portal light with the wood blocks and lava, and trying to make a platform under the sand island so you don't lose all the sand.
Over all nice try, but think you could have done better,
and once again for people who can't check ;P (this needs to be added to the OP)
yeah I have rethought some stuff but its practically too late now.. :\ and the challenges you suggested are kinda too basic :tongue.gif:
I'm also having Installation problems. I have already installed this map back when it was new, and then deleted it. But now when I try to Install the downloaded file, and It says "Cannot find file" Help?
I'm not sure, it worked for me.

Well V2 was a let down... I thought you could have done something more... Coz the sand island - just increases time and cobblestone you need to collect to get some items. Than the nether island... Yeah nice little block of glowstone... Again just more time spent getting items.
V2 is essentially pointless... It doesn't add any different focus on survival or anything.
All V2 does is extend the time it takes to kick off and start actually developing your farms etc
Only thing in V2 I like is the fact that you get more sand and 3 more dirt. The glowstone I guess could be helpful if making a big underwater thing.. But yeah..
Very let down by V2.
In short - Better off Sticking with V1.
What exactly could I have done more? It probably increases the time by 5mins to get to the sand island, and making the island in the nether out of netherrack and soulsand would have been pointless, making it out of something like dirt would have made it look out of place. Again it takes a couple mins if you know what your doing to make the nether portal. I don't see why you are complaining about the length of time it takes to start off.
It is actually really easy, if the wood burns out before it lights, try again (though I've never had that happen to me)
The rest will be in spoilers, each step in a separate spoiler
First Step
First, set up the portal (I wasn't in SkyBlock for this, therefor had 14 obsidian not 10)
Second
Set up the wood, and a little barrier so the lava doesn't go everywhere
Third
Place the lava down, let it catch fire to one of the planks, then grab it back up
Fourth
Both planks should be burning..
Fifth
The portal should be lit, if not - try again
Hope this helped somehow, good-luck with SkyBlock :smile.gif:
TL;DR - Set up portal, put wood at base and back of portal, light wood at base, let it spread to back, BAM portal lit.
hi guys my friend and i are playing 2.1 on our server and animals wont spawn here is a picture of the area is it enough grass?? please reply thanks ^.^
<snip>
it is possible for animals to spawn but somewhat hard to do so, make sure there is enough light and I think you would have a better chance at animals spawning if you were farther away from the grass.
If you are thinking you need sheep to make wool, well you could make a mob trap and craft wool from strings.
I just started 2.1, and there's 1 thing that's got me stumped(no pun intended): I can not for the life of me figure out how to make infinite water with just one ice block. can anyone give me a bit of help in regards to that?
