Features and Changes

The communities feedback has been invaluable and has had a huge impact during this development cycle of Skyblock Pandora. This release will spark a new beginning for Skyblock Pandora.

Economy

We’re keeping pandora more in line with the community's request for a manual grinding economy, so these are the main aspects of the economy:

  • Fishing
  • Pumpkin Farming
  • Blaze Grinding
  • Generators and Spawners

Experience removal

Experience (EXP/XP) will unfortunately make an exit from this map as a reward for grinding. We will fill all experience costs, with space coin costs. So the current grinding tools will now be upgradable with spacecoins, instead of with experience!

Grinding and collecting changes

The harvesters axe will no longer auto-sell pumpkins and will no longer have its current upgrades. The harvester axe will now have efficiency 5 on it by default!

Harvesters axe will have a new set of upgrades:

  • Lightweight:
    • 3 Levels
    • Gives a level of haste per level
  • Twinkletoes
    • 6 Levels
    • Gives a level of swiftness per level

All other tools will have different upgrade costs as well:

  • Loose Change
    • 100 Levels
    • All tools
    • Increases the sell price of Pumpkins, Fish and Blaze rods
  • Gift From Above
    • 100 Levels
    • Crop wand and Sword
    • Increases the chance to get a spacecoin per pumpkin sold or blaze killed
  • Goldfish
    • 6 levels
    • Fishing Rod
    • Increases the number of spacecoins gotten per fish
  • Key Gen
    • 1 Level
    • All Tools
    • Gives a chance to get a key when selling a drop, or catching a fish

Crop Collectors

Crop Collectors will also make a return to this map!

The crop collector is a block, that collects all drops inside one chunk.

They will return to the crates and /shop for $1.000.000. However, the crop collectors will no longer automatically break the pumpkins. They will only be able to pick up player-mined pumpkins from the ground.

The collector will have limited storage of 200k pumpkins.

[NEW] Wands

The selling method of pumpkins will also see a big change. Pumpkins will no longer automatically give you money and experience when mined, but will now drop onto the ground. In a functional farm, a crop collector will collect all your mined pumpkins, and store them inside!

We are now going to use the Mob Wand, and the Crop Wand to sell your drops.

Mob wand:

  • The mob wand will sell all mob drops within a chest or a mob collector when clicked.

Crop wand:

  • The crop wand will sell all crops within a chest or a crop collector when clicked.

Furthermore, all Sell Wand Taxes are removed from all wands due to community request!

[NEW] Grinding Rotational Buff

A buff will rotate for each grinding method periodically!

It will look as following:

  1. A 1 hour of x1.2 Sell and Spacecoin buff on Pumpkin grinding
  2. A 1 hour of x1.2 Sell and Spacecoin buff on Fishing
  3. A 1 hour of x1.2 Sell and Spacecoin buff on Grinding Blazes
  4. Repeat

We’re hoping to encourage people to build various different farms in this manner!

[NEW] Player chest shops

Also a much requested addition to this map: A player chest shop!

We will be giving people the option to make their own shop on their island. All you have to do, is place a sign with the correct item, prices and names, and people will be able to buy things directly out of your chest. We’re hoping that this will let the player economy thrive!

Pet changes

We have also decided to make pets more in line with a manual grinding economy. Pets will be changing from passive leveling, to active leveling. Your pets will now gain XP each time you do the job of the pet. For example: Fishing Pet will get XP every time you reel in a fish.

Additionally, excess pets can now be recycled. If you decide you do not need a pet, you can recycle the pet at the new Veterinarian Vicky NPC. This will trade one pet of any level, for one ‘’Pet Candy’’. Pet candies can be used to exceed the level 100 limit on your max pets. When you click on a candy in your inventory, a menu with all max pets will come up. You can here chose what pet you would like to exceed past level 100 stats! Please do note, pets do not become ‘’Level 101’’, but will show an additional text on it ‘’Empowered 1/2/3/4/5’’, which adds as much new stats as a level would have!

Spacecoin shop and regular shop changes

New changes are occuring to /shop and the spacecoin shop ! Below is a list of these changes.

Spacecoin shop:

  • 1x Mob Wand (100 uses)
    • Price: 7500 Spacecoins
  • 1x Crop Wand (100 uses)
    • Price: 7500 Spacecoins
  • Launch Pad

Quality of life, and Bug fixes

  • Added netherite ingots to mob collector
  • Limited the amount of Mystery spawner messages to 5 per minute. This is to prevent excessive spam from these messages
  • Removed /jobs
  • Removed zombie spawners from lootboxes
