In this picturesque world above the clouds, you use your minecraft knowledge to complete a set of custom advancements. In this relatively challenging version of skyblock, there are no surrounding islands you can bridge to. The amount of freebies is very limited, so as you go through the advancements, you'll learn more about minecraft. There is a book that provides some useful hints for if you get stuck.

I got inspired to make this while playing DrTrog's Skyblock 4.09. Firstly, I wanted to make a map that was similar in potential, while giving the player less free resources. Secondly, I wanted to remove the harsh black fog that appears suddenly when you go below sea level. I also wanted to keep everything as vanilla as possible, so it feels like you're not playing modded. Finally, I wanted to remove the world border by changing the world generation. Immersion is very important to me, and I feel a border in a skyblock world removes all immersion.

I modified the world generation in this map was, so there is no world border and the bottom of the world is at y=192. This puts the whole world above the clouds, creating an immersive skyblock experience. The world height is unchanged, so the build limit is raised by 256 blocks as well. As far as I know, I was the first one to make a void world generate with biomes.

When you open this world for the first time, you spawn on an island with a book containing a selection menu. You select what version you want to play, then you're dropped into a Skyblock 5 world of that version. Currently, the available versions are classic, Cherry, Nether, and Between Worlds. Click the links to learn more about them. More will come soon!

As I mentioned, I value the vanilla feel of minecraft. The original skyblock was a challenge in vanilla minecraft, and I want this version to be the same. However, I want it to give the player the possibility of making all the farms a vanilla player could make. To that goal, I give the player a few items for a select few advancements. I also made some gamerules that allow the player to customize the vanillaness of the map.

Skyblock gamerules can be turned on and off by using a trigger command. The owner of the world can type in the command, and the gamerule will change.







A free cam feature is added to the datapack, so you can see your builds from a distance!

The map has custom advancements to lead you through all the farms you can make in skyblock. Most of them are made by me, but I took some of them from drTrog's skyblock 4.09. The book you're given in the starter chest contains some hints if you get stuck, but if you have any questions, feel free to post them below. Alternatively, you can join the discord, where we also share screenshots! Enjoy!
