Skyblock professionals--
The last week has been very busy behind the scenes. Most of the fixes were not very "flashy" but make some fundamental improvements to efficiency and underlying mechanics. Here is a snapshot of recent changes and efforts:
The last week has been very busy behind the scenes. Most of the fixes were not very "flashy" but make some fundamental improvements to efficiency and underlying mechanics. Here is a snapshot of recent changes and efforts:
- Island boundaries now behave correctly in all quadrants of the map.
- Boundaries now correctly handle all of the following:
- Water/lava flow-- liquids stay within the buildable area of the owner's island.
- Pistons-- Cannot extend, push or pull blocks outside of buildable area of owner's island.
- Changebiome-- Stops at the edge of the island instead of messing with the neighbor.
- Newisland now removes island blocks 24000% faster (not an exaggeration) and does not lag the entire server.
- A bug where replacing an island would "slice off" a bit of the neighboring plot has been removed.
- A bug with Coop invites no longer creates duplicate islands.
- Dispensers can no longer be used over island...

Hello, fellow Skyblockers,
It has come to the attention of the team, that there are players who wish to have certain aspects of their accounts removed for privacy reasons… be it previous past names, or posts left hanging about.
There is a possible bypass for this, where a new account is created and merged with your old one, removing select information, such as listed previous names, or posts you wish you no-longer had.
The reasoning behind this is due to the fact that some people first sign up to the forums using real-names or names they'd rather forget, whether initially deliberate or affected by autofill, they later request to change their name and no-longer wish to be associated with it for whatever reason.
If you start a fresh account, what will be carried over?
- Post count will remain the same as your previous account. (Assuming that’s not what you wanted removed). Merged posts won't be viewable in your post history.

- The island level values for vines, ice, and cobblestone have been changed to zero
- Previously, players were able to gain tens of thousands of levels with very little effort, simply by growing vines, pouring lava and water to make giant cobble pyramids, or changing their island to an ice biome and pouring layers of water to turn into ice overnight
- This led to a large number of complaints from other players who felt they were being unfairly denied a chance to be on the top 20 islands list because several slots were occupied by islands with large quantities of these naturally occurring blocks
- We previously set a limit on the number of these types of blocks that could count towards the island level, but it turns out the cap was being ignored due to a bug
- The island leveling routine will need to be rewritten to fix this issue and several other bugs, but in the meantime, setting the value of these blocks to zero addresses the majority of players' complaints...
