Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well.
I am excited to reveal the details of the upcoming Skyblock reset with you.
For those unfamiliar with Skyblock. Skyblock is a game where you start out on an island in the sky with a limited amount of resources, the goal initially is to expand your island and build a base and some farms to survive. After that it's really up to you, some players enjoy creating the biggest player warps, some will compete for gathering the most resources on their island (island level) and some will grind to become #1 richest player on the server. Maybe you just want to beat the Ender Dragon instead? You can do just that. To summarize there is no clear end goal on Skyblock and there are many things to do alone or with your friends!
A couple of significant changes have been made to the economy & shops. It will be possible to obtain minions for free with in-game money and a new shop has been added that houses some essential survival items. Slaying hostile mobs will now also give you a small amount of money making mob grinders more useful.
The minions can still be purchased from the webstore and will start out at tier 5 (skipping a bunch of upgrades)
Check out most of the significant changes & updates below
