For updates only!

This is the update page for all versions of Skyblock 5: Above the Clouds. If you don't have a Skyblock 5: Above the Clouds world yet, click this link to download it, because the datapack doesn't work correctly on other worlds. After you download that, you don't need to update, because that page is up-to-date. This pack is only meant for people who already have Skyblock 5 and want to update it.


How to update

To update your world, download this datapack and extract the folder. Open your minecraft launcher and click your Skyblock world. Click "edit", then "open world folder" and then "datapacks". Delete the old datapack and copy the one you just downloaded into the folder. Then check if the folder you just copied in has the following contents: a folder called "data" and two files called "pack".

You should now be ready to play. Enjoy the update!

The datapack tends to break when the game updates. You can subscribe to the page or join the discord to get notified whenever I update the page. In the discord, you can also ask questions and share screenshots of your world. Hope to see you there!

1.20.6a : by Papa_Lovegood 05/04/2024 5:35:47 amMay 4th

Hi everyone! This update makes the pack compatible with 1.20.6. I changed the world generation, so now, structure hitboxes spawn. This means that the fortress and monument biomes will turn into plains biomes in your old worlds, but new players won't get them.

In this new version, the pack spawns structure hitboxes for pillager outposts, ocean monuments, swamp huts, and nether fortresses. Within these hitboxes, mobs spawn as they would in the usual structures. You'll find them at the same x and z coordinates you would find them in a regular world with this seed. Your new book (which you should get after updating) can be used to find their hitboxes.

Players with old worlds will not get structure hitboxes, because datapacks cannot change those settings. This means backwards compatibility is taking a hit, because I may introduce features that use the hitboxes in the future. For instance, with the raid farm nerf Mojang is doing in 1.21, farming redstone will be a lot harder. I'm adding swamp huts to combat that, but I'm not planning to change the world generation in future versions.
THE ONLY WAY TO PROPERLY UPDATE FROM VERSIONS BEFORE 1.20.6A IS THE FOLLOWING:

Open your old world and put your entire inventory, including any armor, in a chest. Stand on a block on the following coordinates: -35 257 -35
Download the entire map from the main page. Then, go to your saves folder. Go to your old world. Copy every folder except for the datapacks folder, but not the other files. Then go to the world you just downloaded. Delete every folder except for the datapacks folder, but not the other files. Then paste the folders from your old world into the world you downloaded. The world you downloaded should now be an up-to-date version of your old world.

You can use the /fillbiome command to change the newly created plains biomes to match the surrounding biomes. For example: "/fillbiome 90 200 100 100 230 100 nether_wastes replace plains" will replace the plains biome with nether wastes between those coordinates. If you have any questions about that, feel free to ask them in the comments or in the discord.

Heads up: I also plan to remove slime spawning in swamps in the 1.21a update, because the oozing potions will introduce a vanilla way to get slimes. I'll also remove the cobweb recipe from the builders' delight gamerule, because of webbing potions.


If you have any ideas for new versions, or spot any bugs, please let me know in the comments or in the discord.

That's it for the patch notes. Thanks for continuing to enjoy the pack everyone! Feel free to join the discord, I'd love to see some progress updates or answer your questions.

This one is pretty good. I've been looking for a datapack. I'd be starting from ground 0 to learn it. I'd say add a few items to the starting chest that won't be found such as berries(glowing and sweet ones) for starting food and an amethyst.

Build limit go down to at least 0-level. In that depth near 0-level(below 8 or 16 I guess) replace cobblestone generator with a deepslate generator.

Checkout noobcrews modifications below to modernizing skyblock. I'd also say join that original skyblock server too

Hi there, thanks for your suggestions! Most of the things you mention are available through other means. One of the main reasons I made the pack is because I wanted the world to be above the clouds, so I won't lower the height. Also, that wouldn't be backwards compatible, and I want the players to be able to download the updates.

Cobbled deepslate can be crafted if you turn on the builder's delight gamerule. You'll need cobblestone and blackstone to do so. You get a budding amethyst if you collect all music discs and you'll get glowberries for completing the advancement "The light of my life". I did forget to add a way to obtain sweet berries though, so thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Noobcrew's modifications are not very interesting for this pack, because they don't align with my idea of what skyblock should be.

Feel free to read the book in the starter chest and the original Skyblock 5: Above the Clouds page to find out the modifications I used to make items available.

Again, thanks a bunch for the feedback, and I hope you enjoy the pack!

Love the pack,

for shards you could have suspicious sand fishable from a desert or mesa or somehow craftable with like a potion or a book and sand or something.

The sherds are coming soon! I'm currently working on a skyblock gamerule that makes every item you can get in regular minecraft available.

Cheers!

Good ideas! Suspicious sand placed by players doesn't get a loot table, though, so you wouldn't be able to get any sherds from it. If I were to let the player get the sherds, I'd probably save them the trouble of brushing the sand altogether, because that's more enjoyable in the vanilla setting, where you come across the dig sites in your adventures. Thanks a bunch for the ideas though, I hadn't considered that angle yet :)
