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 will spawn you on the mainland, and it will be impossible to get back. Be careful! (This problem is fixed for the versions that are above this spoiler.)

Place what version you downloaded in the saves folder, to reach your saves folder follow the instructions below.

Windows:
%appdata%\.minecraft\saves

Windows XP/Vista:
%appdata%\.minecraft\saves

Windows 7:
C:\Users\*YourName*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

Mac:
Open Finder
Click "Go" on your menu bar on the top left of your screen
Click "Go to Folder..."
Type in this: Users/*UserName*/Library/Application Support/Minecraft/Saves

(UserName needs to be replaced with your computer username)

Linux:
Go to view options
Check the 'show hidden folders' box
Go to your home directory
Open '.minecraft'
Open 'Saves'

If for some reason you are tired of your water turning into ice and don't know how to place a torch next to your water source, you can switch the snow biome to a non snow biome.
Download the level.dat that corresponds with the version of SkyBlock you are playing, and replace it.

2.1 Hardcore: http://mediafire.com...e2cciicgw0863pb

Note: You will have to skip challenge #32.
Make sure you replace the level.dat before you start the map, or place everything that is in your inventory in a chest. If you do not do so, your items in your inventory will be gone.

Read the title of each spoiler. View the contents of a spoiler to answer your questions. Not everything will be here, as this map is meant to be a challenge, so not everything can be answered.

Here is a video from KerflumexedPenguin about the basics of SkyBlock. Thanks

"How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"

"How do I light a Nether portal without Flint & Steel?"

Go to the Nether (with guide above) and make a platform there for zombie pigmen to spawn on. Kill them for gold nuggets. Once you have 9 gold nuggets, place them in a crafting table in a 3x3 fashion, which creates one gold ingot.
