Nether quartz ore is now craftable from netherrack and nether quartz using a custom recipe on the /skyblock server:

While the previous restrictions on silk touch and drop rates continue to apply in the Nether, quartz ore placed in the overworld follows normal Minecraft mechanics with regard to drop rates and enchants.

With this change, all ores are now obtainable legitimately in-game and are legal to own and trade.

Happy skyblocking!

Dear fellow Skyblockers,

We are pleased to announce a few new features on the /skyblock server:

• We've added support for commands from a public skyblock plugin used on other servers, to help new players get started if they're not familiar with our custom server
• We've added an ore generator capability:
  • Cobblestone and stone generators now have a chance to produce coal, redstone, lapis, gold and iron ore
  • Players are free to use silk touch and fortune on these ores if they want to, and they are legal to own and trade
• Diamond and emerald ores are now craftable using two new recipes:
  • 
  • Diamond and emerald ores created this way are legal to own or trade
  • Placed diamond and emerald ores can be picked up using silk touch if desired

Hey guys, today marks the 7th year anniversary of the Skyblock map. I know we have a lot of anniversaries, but this one is really important too!

September 4th 2011, is when the actual downloadable map that started it all was first released. Crazy to think such a simple thing made so long ago was downloaded at least 5 million+ times (as of 3 years ago :O) and is extremely popular across the Minecraft community still even to this day. Even if its in different versions & forms. No one else really knows this, but 'Skyblock' was actually called 'Skycube' at first and I decided to change it to 'Skyblock' last minute while I was posting the original thread on the Minecraft Forums (link). The original Skyblock was a 3x3 grass cube and I thought it resembled some sort of rubix cube, which is where 'Skycube' came from and I named it that at first. Though it also looked like a big...

Hey guys, just letting you know that we have successfully updated to 1.13. Please keep in mind however, there is no new 1.13 features and we are only using a protocol hack to allow new clients. We will be waiting for a more stable build of Spigot/Bukkit before moving towards a full update.

We apologize for the few hours of downtime, there was some hiccups along the way and it took a lot longer than expected. Our shop plugin as well is becoming a huge issue right now. Due to the way it saves and loads data, it consistently crashed the server, therefore we are please asking everyone to remove any shops not in use, especially for the players with 50+ shops. Also, for anyone that hasn't created or managed a shop since May 31st may have had them removed. We will be re-writing the plugin to save data differently so once this is fixed, it will never happen again. Update: This has been resolved.

We will also be releasing a new spawn sometime later today (Friday...
