Infernal Skyblock
Infernal Skyblock starts a skyblock survival run from the Nether instead of the Overworld, with the island and progression changed to match.
What it does
The mod is a skyblock game mode in which a world begins on a small island in the Nether rather than in the Overworld. Progression follows a fixed path: players grow nether fungus, collect wood, and use bone meal so the farming loop keeps running, then trade with piglins for gold to get back to the Overworld before locating the End portal and defeating the Ender Dragon. Smithing templates are modified because the changes affect structure generation.
Only the server needs Infernal Skyblock, so players may join without installing it, though adding it gives them the armor trims. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, which is not an open source license. Its one data pack variant is available for server platforms.
