Global Updates - March 14th, 2025 Added over 100+ blocks and placeable items to the island level calculation. Many of the added blocks were released after Minecraft version 1.12.2. This is still a process and some blocks will be continually adjusted. Some pre-existing blocks have been slightly increased while others have decreased. Most notably, gold blocks have decreased 25% and slime blocks decreased 50% compared to prior rates. Island levels measure how thoroughly an island has been built out, based on types of blocks placed, the amount placed, and potential rarity. I know for a long time, gold blocks and slime blocks were consistently placed to boost island level amounts but I do think additional changes may be needed, as the blocks nowadays are less valuable than when island levels were first introduced. Let us know your thoughts and if you have any feedback/suggestions. Thanks! Thank you to the suggestion(s): Global - Add 1.13+ blocks to island level statistics | Skyblock Official Site
With all of the previous changes I don't like going on, it's really nice to see positive updates are still happening. Even if my Eco island went down 300 levels, lol.
Might do............if I drop out of first. Would need to be forced on Eco, as top island owner hasn't been online in a while. If you want things to be fair then there needs to be a manual adjustment of all islands and I'm all for this. With out it, the new levels are only applied to some, which makes leaderboards meaningless and the effort put into this update kind of wasted. I don't have a huge amount of gold and I have zero slime blocks, so I don't know that my level would change a great deal. The two islands below me, however do have a lot of slime and gold, so would it be fair for for my level to be adjusted if theirs are not?
What would be the impact on performance of doing this though? How long would it take to count every single block placed in the world? Aren't there hundreds of thousands of islands?
Is there another way to do this as it only has to happen once? Perhaps an extended restart period to carry this out. Can the calculation be done on a world backup, then just swap out the database storing those values?
Or it might be easier just to set everyone's level to zero, forcing them to run the /level command to get on the leaderboards.
Hello, What blocks and placeable items were added? Could we get an official list with all the blocks and values maybe or do you like to keep us guessing...
I think staff have said before that it's kept hidden for us to guess and work out ourselves which is fair, else people would simply just build out the most expensive block and have little to no variations lol
