    I am going to speak for most, if not all, of the terraformers here on Skyblock.

    There are many things we would love to make our islands into different, and cool, things, whether it be a desert, taiga, or hills. We could also make things such as stronghold-looking bases or whatnot. I would like to discuss ideas on how to obtain these items without breaking rules so that we may make our islands into those cool works of art. The items that included here are as follows (I am not sure if this is it, AND may have more through future Minecraft updates):
    • Sand (Besides through donor kits)
    • Sandstone (Different Designs ie: creeper, smooth, chiseled)
    • Dirt
    • Gravel
    • Packed Ice
    • Chiseled/Cracked/Mossy Stone Bricks
    • Mossy Cobblestone
    So far, most of these are illegal and/or impossible to get, but I have color-coded to explain further in detail on how to acquire and the rules/restrictions for them. All of these would be found at a /warp terraform for donors just like /warp donor is. So all you have to do is donate at least $10 for access.

    (*NOTE: The prices I mention are not true prices, but rather ideas for these items. Please read closely.)

    RED: This would pertain to items that we cannot trade whatsoever. These are pretty crucial to terraforming and are un-tradeable at this point in time. I understand the meaning for this, but using grass instead of dirt would mean that A LOT of funds would have to be put towards the island instead of other things. Only donors (probably) above 100 would have no problem in doing so, unfortunately.

    (*Prices: 1 Grass = 32 Dirt/1 Grass = 16 Sand/1 Grass = 8 Sandstone [All patterns])

    Restrictions would still be that they are STILL un-tradeable and have to be put to use on the island within a certain time period. No dropping allowed and no tp'ing with them in your inventory. Not to /warps, not to players - nowhere. The trading of these items would still be punishable with the severity of illegal trade.

    GREEN: This one isn't so black and white. This one is tradeable, but hardly obtainable. They go for like 1 - 2 diamonds (I forget) but are not obtainable by ordinary means of the shop. I would add these for the same price as they go for within trades.

    There aren't any restrictions on gravel as far as I know, so I cannot put any limitations to this one.

    BLUE: These are not acquirable in any way as far as I know. I've heard you may get something from creative while donating for higher ranks (ie Donor250), but I have no experience myself on the matter. These would be cool to have, so I am wanting these as part of the list.

    (*Prices: 1 Grass = 8 Packed Ice/1 Grass = 16 Stone Bricks [All patterns]/1 Grass = 16 Mossy Cobblestone)

    I am again not aware of any restrictions. I know that items that are only obtainable from creative mode are part of illegal trade and am assuming these fall under that category. I have yet to find a set of restriction for these. (Any help would be greatly appreciated)

    In conclusion, there are a lot of people who would love to have these items, but they are far from reachable. I would like to open venues for those players, like myself, so that it isn't only for the rich. I hope this doesn't conflict with too many views. Thanks for reading! Hope this is considered!!!

    Given they're illegal to trade, it would mean there is a lot more dirt and sand in the economy. This means that people would be more likely to illegally trade and think that trading dirt/sand is legal. We wouldn't be able to distinguish between farmed dirt/sand and legal dirt/sand, so legalising trading wouldn't be an option o3o

    Thats why I put the warp as a donor exclusive. And it would be a timed item, like I said. It would have to beused before a time otherwise it would be taken away by force.

    You can craft Mossy Cobblestone/Mossy Stone bricks with one vine and 1 of either cobblestone or stone brick :)

    I'm terrible at terraforming without the help of good ole WorldEdit. It would definitely help if certain blocks/items were easier to obtain.

    I'm just saying I can only terraform using assistance from WE, and since we obviously don't have that, it's made harder by the rarity of blocks.
