Drogo is please to present to the Skyblock community, "The Quarry" THIS WILL OPEN THIS SATURDAY AFTER THE RESTART. https://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/3339137/the-quarry-grand-opening The Quarry is a free mining area for anyone to mine. It currently consists of: 1,096,048 Cobblestone 8157 Coal Ore 588 Lapis Ore 345 Gold Ore 319 Iron Ore 195 Redstone Ore The Quarry is located at AllGoodMate's island which is open to visit and take a look. Freecam and Xray is permitted on the island and best for viewing. In two days time, after the restart (assuming no hiccups) block breaking and block placing will be enabled so that players can mine as they please. Enchanted picks with Efficiency V, Unbreaking III, Mending and either Silk Touch or Fortune III are available for purchase at The Quarry but feel free to bring your own. To ensure the Greenies have equal opportunity to grab some of the more prized ores, flying will be disabled. The island was created by the natural generation of cobble and the individual block quantities were found using Schematica.
Cheers. Drogo suspects a mad rush for the iron and then lesser ores but whenever a greenie asks for cobble people can send them here and they won't have to ask again.
Let's hope we see these guys back soon, so they can open the quarry. A great initiative to create something different.
Good afternoon everyone. Drogo must apologise for the delay in opening of The Quarry. For reasons outside of his control and for reasons still unknown, Drogo has been banned as you are all aware. Drogo thanks everyone for their supportive posts, many of which have been deleted now. Drogo does not know if or when he will be unbanned. Conversation with Noobcrew some time ago promised a reply with a reason for the ban, but that has not happened yet.
Hoping to find out soon why Drogo was banned. Looking forward to getting this sorted and giving the community access to the quarry.
So the opening of The Quarry shall be going ahead soon. Tossing up between Next weekend or making it a 4th of July thing because apparently that date has some significance. Stay tuned!!
Drogo is pleased to announce that The Quarry will open this Saturday about 15 minutes after the restart. This is a link to the countdown timer. https://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/3339137/the-quarry-grand-opening Have your picks on hand and for those that need it, food as well. There are fully enchanted picks to purchase at the island until all are sold. Either with Silk touch or fortune as required. Drogo won’t be able to provide enderchests as block breaking will be enabled but for those with access to the \ec command, you might want to empty those out before hand. Drogo will add that he is not entirely sure what lag players might be experience if there are many players present.
Opening in a bit over an hour. Once TPS has settled after the restart. X-Ray IS permitted but NO other hacks!
So the quarry launch went well with many players attending. Thanks to all that came. It would appear that all the iron ore is gone now but plenty of everything else. Feel free to direct anyone to the quarry if they are asking for cobble in chat or are asking how to make a cobble gen. The creation of The Quarry served a double purpose. One being to provide some fun and a free mining area for everyone. The other was to test the ore generation rate. Given the quantity of blocks generated of over 1 million, the ores generated will be very close to the actual generation rates which are as shown here. Iron gen rate is pretty close to expected, however Coal is roughly 84% of expected and Lapis, Gold and Redstone are about 40% of expected.
Well there used to be no ores at all and it’s the same for everyone so Drogo wouldn’t say anyones being ripped off.
