    Myth Busters
    Welcome to Skyblock myth busters. The idea of this thread is to solve all of the myths of Skyblock. Feel free to post any myth you have about Skyblock, and I’ll go out of my way to try it out. One of the myths I’ve been wondering about is ‘what happens when you try to fly a flying machine outside of your island’.

    Note: all suggestions must be legal on Skyblock. I don’t particularly want to get banned, thanks!

    Tested Myths
    • Can you build a flying machine and fly in across island borders? Yes, if it's your own island (edit: this is now a bannable offence)
    • Can you build a flying machine and fly it into a neighbouring island if both islands have the 199x199 expansion- meaning they’re ‘linkable’? Yes, sometimes (edit: this is now a bannable offence)
    • Can you get on top of /warp Halloween without hacking? Yes, with an elytra
    • Can you build to height limit? Yes
    • Can you build higher than height limit? No
    • Can you build 0-tick redstone farms? Yes, with difficulty
    • Can you drop an item, leave the server for hours, and have it still be there without clear lag taking it? Yes, if the chunks are not loaded in
    • Can wither skeletons spawn? No
    • Can you spawn the wither? Yes, 3 wither skulls, 4 soal sand
    • Can you craft beacons? Yes, 1 netherstar, 3 obsidian, 5 glass
    • Did Lz request a ban because he is taking a break from Skyblock? Yes
    • Do villagers actually do anything on your Skyblock island? Yes
    • Can you still obtain wither skeleton heads? No, only by trading
    • Can you make effective villager farms? Yes
    • Were wither skulls ever in legendary crates? No
    • Can you still obtain pets on Survival by buying them on classic? No
    • Is Skytitan rank “worth it”? In the long term, yes
    • Are legendary keys “worth it”? Odds wise, no
    • Can you bypass muted chat? Yes (reasons kept private)
    • Can you say the F word? Only in /msg
    • If you create a thread on forums in a discussion section, and then a staff member moves it to off-topic, does that message on the thread get removed from your message count? Yes

    I think it's the same rules as cobble-monstering someone.

    EDIT: What happens if you push spawn a block over with a flying machine or remove the blocks under where /spawn takes you.

    Which is why he is perm banned on forums - according to RedstoneTrails They requested it to so they're not tempted to go back to gaming.

    1. You cannot use flying machines or pistons to push things off of your island. I tried a flying machine a year ago, and it stopped at my island border. There may be other ways to get off your island, but the main ways people would try should no longer work.
    2. Lz did indeed request a ban and take a break. He uninstalled Minecraft, deleted his Discord and uninstalled it, and requested a ban on forums, as there's no way to prevent yourself from getting on here other than removing your internet connection.

    Are you able to move flying machines across islands if you are trusted on the island the flying machine is manoeuvring to?

    Unsure. I'll ask my friend to hop on and trust my alt sometime so I can test that out.

    1. Skytitan is not worth it. Personally I think I is worth it, but if we go by a proper chart, the most ‘worth-it’ rank is in fact Skyking if we are talking about kits.
    2. Legendary keys are not worth it especially if bought from the store. You have about a 5% chance of breaking even, or profiting with a legendary key. If bought from the store, the money spent on it would be worth more if sold by upgrading other users.
    3. I asked Noobcrew for creative once but he said no and gave me a couple of stacks of pumpkin pie.
    Sounds great! Thanks. :)

    Some myths:

    Can you build to build hight or higher?
    Are you able to make 0-tick redstone farms?

    And interesting: if you leave the game with an item on the ground, and you log back on in a few hours the item is still there!

    You can build to the vanilla Minecraft build height of 256. You cannot go above.
    You can create zero-tick farms on this server (chorus flower zero tick is a thing apparently).
    If a player logs off and their island chunks are unloaded before clear lag happens, those items can stay they forever. That's why you can find kits of players and items laying around on players islands, even those those players haven't been on in ages. I frequently find cobble, diamond pickaxes, and redstone dust on old players islands, generally from people who login, claim their kit, and get off (or at least used to)

    You cannot make the ones that are in 1.14-1.15.
    This includes sugar cane and cactus. (kelp and bamboo aren't in 1.12.2 :p)
    However, chorus flower zero-tick farms do work (or at least they did a month ago when I last tested it)

    Update: they still work :)

    Well would ya look at that, I learned something new. Didn't even know zero-tick chorus flower farms were a thing. Only ever used cactus and sugar cane ones.

    On classic, this is different, as demonstrated by BertBerry and a few others in 2017.



    Anyhow;

    If you disagree with Cyk, do you get permbanned?

    (cyk scary)

    Can Wither Skeletons Spawn? Then can you get wither skeleton heads? Can you then spawn the wither? Can you then get a beacon? Will that then become stonks?
