Skylife

by 2Bad4Mods

Skylife is a Fabric tech mod for skyblock worlds, where players start with little and build automated machines to change the island around them.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.4

What it does

Skylife turns a skyblock start into a technology progression. Players cook items in an electric furnace to build more complex automation machines, and the mod adds brand new machines that are offered only through it. It requires Fabric API and LifeCompat, and Extended ItemView (EIV) is optional. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files exist for 1.21.4 only, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Electric furnace cooking

    An electric furnace cooks items into components for building larger automation machines.

  2. Exclusive machines

    New machines appear only in this mod, adding steps beyond the usual skyblock tech path.

  3. Mob loot and gems

    Different mobs drop gems and other unusual loot, and sheep can yield special wool on an island.
