ZenXArch's Skyblock

by ZenXArch

ZenXArch's Skyblock gives a world generator that starts players on a single platform with a few blocks, and it needs Fabric API to run.

FabricQuiltServer required, client optionalMozilla Public License 2.0Open source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod adds a Skyblock world preset and a Flatblock preset, both reached from the create world menu. The Skyblock preset produces an empty void with a spawn platform at y=0, and biomes and structures still generate, so a player can grow an island from one block placed by hand or by generated features. Chunk regeneration exploits do not work in this setup. Installation requires Fabric API, and the mod is available for Fabric and Quilt across nine release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.

The mod aims for minimal change to vanilla Minecraft. Stronghold portal rooms do not spawn, the Ender dragon and the exit portal do not appear by default, and the starting portal still does. Players respawn the dragon themselves. Getting lava needs the lava gamerule turned on. Each world can carry an expanded skyblock challenge, and the author describes the Ender fountain steps in a separate guide, where end crystals are placed at the fountain coordinates taken from a vanilla world with the same seed. Server owners should note that players trapped in hardcore worlds can go through the portal.

The mod runs on the server, and players can join with it unused, since the client side is optional. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and public links exist for the source code, the issue tracker and a wiki. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files.

Key features

  1. Skyblock world preset

    The preset creates a void world with a spawn platform at y=0, built from a single structure file.

  2. Flatblock world preset

    A second preset builds layered blocks from a customizable list, using the superflat customization screen.

  3. Ender dragon respawn

    The dragon and the exit portal do not spawn by default, and players can respawn the dragon by hand.

  4. Expanded challenge

    An expanded skyblock challenge adds obsidian recovery, ender pearls and a guide for placing the Ender fountain.

Questions

Does ZenXArch's Skyblock need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is the only required dependency, and the mod is published for Fabric and Quilt.

Does the server need the mod installed?

Yes. The server is required, while players may join without installing the mod.

Why does the Ender dragon not spawn?

The dragon and exit portal are not generated by default, so a player respawns the dragon manually, following the guide for the Ender fountain.

What the author says

This is very minimal expansion of the nothing skyblock challenge. The mod tries to make minimal changes to vanilla minecraft while also providing the player with a world where every single block is placed by/generated by the player.
