Features and Changes

The community's feedback has been invaluable and has had a significant impact during this development cycle of Skyblock Pandora.

New Spawn

We will be featuring a brand up spawn for this season of Skyblock Pandora! Make sure to pop by and explore this post-apocalyptic update to a previous beloved spawn!

Island Changes [Updated!!!]

This season of Skyblock will be met with a different playing style once starting. All players will begin their adventure on their island from the moment they join the realm!

To increase the competition we see within the realm, we have decided to reduce the island member team size from the current number of 8, back down to a team size of 5.

Islands will now contain a Helpful Commands Hologram, pre-added to the island. This will be a clickable hologram that will view all of the wonderful and helpful commands within the realm to better your playing experience. (You may disable this hologram at any point within /settings).

Warp Tutorial [NEW]

This season of Skyblock, we will be welcomed by a new tutorial feature for everyone to view. Whether you are a new player, an old player, returning, etc., this new warp tutorial will be available for everyone to travel to at any point. A one stop shop for every and all information pertaining to Skyblock to make you a pro in no time! Access this by doing /warp tutorial !!

Warp Fishing [NEW]

This season of Skyblock, we are introduced a brand new design to warp fishing, make sure to check it out by doing /warp fishing. Also a special thanks to our Moderator Representinq, make sure to thank them when you see them!!

/settings [Updated!!!]

After hearing your concerns and complaints, we are pleased to announce some much needed /settings changes that we know you would love! Skyblock will now be offering toggleable nonfictions for the following:

  • Lucky Blocks
  • Mystery Spawners
  • Spacecoins

Galaxy Pass [NEW Update!!!]

Galaxy Pass has been needing an update and it is long overdue. We believe by updating and bringing a new concept to the Galaxy Pass will encourage players to actually grind and look forward to the Galaxy Pass.

There will be the Free and Premium rewards. Even if you purchase the Galaxy Pass later in the season you can earn the past Premium rewards.

Harvester Axe [Updated!!!]

This season of Skyblock is experiencing a simplification of pumpkin farming. This means, that crop wands will be removed from the game, and all their upgrades will be added to the Harvester Axe upgrade menu. Speaking of the upgrade menu, the Harvester Axe will no longer require you to right click to upgrade, instead it will follow the normal upgrade pattern by requiring players to do /upgrade to pull this menu up. This change will make the Harvester Axe more universally friendly to both our Java and Bedrock players!

However, that is not the only wonderful change you will see. Players will again be able to autosell pumpkins with the Harvester Axe. No more confusion with the provided lore, and keeps you grinding for longer periods of time without having to stop and sell.

Lastly, players now will be able to show off how many pumpkins they have farmed with the new season. The Harvester Axe will begin to track how many pumpkins you have farmed with the tool, spicing up the competition more with in-chat show offs!

Collectors [Updated!!!]

Collectors are seeing an important update this season as well! We have decided to go with an all-in-one collector instead of having multiple types. This means, the crop collector and material collector will be combined into one collector, which is being renamed to a Chunk Collector, a more appropriate and understandable name for all players.

We have removed the filter option and instead changed it to a collectables section. This, is a clickable feature that will pull up a GUI menu of all the items the collectors will collect within the placed chunk. And, lets not forget the new items that the collector will begin to pick up! No need to have hoppers and chunk collectors in the same chunk to do the same thing!

  • Pumpkins
  • Stone
  • Cobblestone

Collectors are now going to hold an important feature: Ore Condensing! This season of Skyblock, players should expect the collectors to now have the ability to ore condense any and all condensable materials. No more need to have separated farms for collecting in a collector, and a chest system for those island level ores. The following will be collected and stored in the collector until the appropriate amount to form a block is collected:

  • Coal
  • Iron
  • Gold
  • Redstone
  • Lapis
  • Emerald
  • Diamond
  • Netherite

Collectors will no longer have an unlimited storage space. The expected storage space and upgradable prices are as followed:

  • Level 0 [Default]
  • Storage: 200,000
  • Level 1
  • Storage: 400,000
  • Price: $7,500,000
  • Level 2
  • Storage: 500,000
  • Price: $15,000,000
  • Level 3
  • Storage: 600,000
  • Price: $22,500,000
  • Level 4
  • Storage: 700,000
  • Price: $30,000,000
  • Level 5
  • Storage: 1,000,000
  • Price: $50,000,000

Block Wands [Updated!!!]

With the new feature of collectors auto condensing ores into their block form, we have gone ahead and updated the block wands to also work on the collectors. Simply click the block wand against the collector and BAM, all those blocks have been added to your island level GUI!

Magic Generators [Updated!!!]

Magic Generators (cobblestone generators) are receiving a much needed nerf in prices when upgrading them! To make the magic generators more exciting and worth it, expect the following price changes when doing /is upgrades:

  • Level 1
  • Purchase Amount: 2,500 Spacecoins
  • Level 2
  • Purchase Amount: 5,000 Spacecoins
  • Level 3
  • Purchase Amount: 10,000 Spacecoins
  • Level 4
  • Purchase Amount: 15,000 Spacecoins
  • Level 5
  • Purchase Amount: 20,000 Spacecoins
  • Level 6
  • Purchase Amount: 25,000 Spacecoins
  • Level 7
  • Purchase Amount: 35,000 Spacecoins
  • Level 8
  • Purchase Amount: 50,000 Spacecoins

Spacecoins [UPDATED & NEW!!!]

This season, spacecoins are receiving a much needed update and feature changes, requested by the community for the community!

To start, we will be adding Spacecoin Pouches to the game. These function similarly to the current money and experience pouches in giving players a random amount of Spacecoins, depending on the pouch rarity. The higher the rarity, the more spacecoins you will receive.

We have also decided to add a way to trade experience into spacecoins, but to keep the economy balanced out, the conversation rate will be 5,000 experience to 1 spacecoin.

Finally, a new gambling game has been added, spacecoin flips. This is similar to how the coin flip curently functions, but players are now able to use spacecoins to gamble. To keep the economy balanced out, we have added a cap of 15,000 spacecoins to be allowed to be flipped at any given point.

Spawners [UPDATE!!!]

To bring more use into the tiered spawner system, some important changes have been made. This includes spawner shop being integrated back into the shop itself. We noticed some issues with it being separated from the main shop, including players not exactly realizing spawners are available for purchase.

We have also changed the tiered system a bit to make it more functional for everyone. This is a change in requirements to unlock the next tiers.

  • Tier 2
  • 250 Spawners Purchased
  • 25,000 Blazes Killed as an island.
  • Tier 3
  • 500 Spawners Purchased
  • 50,000 Blazes Killed as an island.

It is also important to note that the ability to change spawners will be removed for this upcoming season. This is to keep the intended purpose of the tiered system from losing all meaning.

Pets [UPDATE!!!]

All pets will now have an enchantment cap of level 150 to keep the economy balanced.

Pumpkin pet will see a decrease in pumpkins per level, decreasing from its current level of 25,000 pumpkins grinded per level down to 15,000 pumpkins grinded per level.

Enchant Changes [UPDATE!!!]

Coin magnet will be making a return this season. Players will no longer have to experience picking up flying spacecoins, automatically pick them up and place them in your inventory with this lovely enchant!

Coin Magnet will be a Rare (blue) Enchant and added back into the /enchanter loottable.

Start of the Season Buycraft Package [NEW!!!]

This season we will begin seeing the introduction of new start of the season packages to jumpstart your playing experience! Within our new buycraft package, you will be able to find items such as:

  • Chunk Collectors
  • Ore Condensers
  • Blaze Spawners
  • Silverfish Spawners
