Release Details
[NEW] Open World Area, Leveling System, and Skills!
- We have created a brand new open world area that brings a completely new experience to Skyblock!
- You can farm crops, chop wood, and mine ore blocks to increase your level and progress your skills!
- Farming crops and chopping wood in this area will break the block, and it will re-generate within 5 seconds. Mining ore blocks in this area will turn the block into bedrock, and will turn back into the normal ore block within 5 seconds!
- There is a total of 250 Farming Skills, 250 Lumber Skills, and 250 Mining Skills that you can unlock!
- For every 5 skills completed under any category, you will be rewarded crowns and other rewards to help you on your Skyblock journey!
- There are 12 total crops to unlock for Farming, 18 total wood logs to unlock for Lumber, and 18 total ores to unlock for Mining!

[NEW] Item Condensing!
- Iggy's Item Condensing is worth the trip!
- Condense up to 48 different items ranging from crops, wood, and ores!
- Condensing an item will turn it into an enchanted version of itself, which sells for a whole lot more!

[NEW] Crop Shop!
-
Cleetus' Crop Shop is open for business!
- Purchase crops from this shop based on the crops you have unlocked in your /skills!
- If you do not have a crop unlocked in your /skills, it will display as "locked" in your crop shop menu.
- This shop has a limited quantity of items in stock per item. As you unlock more crops in your Skills menu for Farming, the previous tier crops will gain more stock of that item.
- If you purchase all stock available of a crop, the stock will replenish when the crop shop resets. The crop shop resets every 6 hours.

[NEW] Omni Tool Updates!
