    Sad to say this, but I think I've run out of juice.
    I can't find anything fun to do on the server and forums seems rather inactive in general.


    Here's a list of what used to be fun for me, and maybe it will inspire you to try something:
    • Shulker hunting at /warp hostile. bring armour, food and a sword and you're all set to start floating around killing witches and box shaped backpacks.
    • Casinos: Making them, playing them and running them. Not the third one though.
    • Mini-games: Similar to casinos, making them and playing them is fun, but at least with mini-games, you can have fun running them
    • Parkour: Basically a mini-game
    • Building things: I'm pretty rubbish at it, but I still enjoy making small builds.
    • Chatting to people: Probably the best one, but the reason I've stayed is because of the community. Sadly, it seems a large proportion has quit or just afk 24/7 (or inactive)
    If you have any other contributions, post them. :)

    I mostly chat and farm items to kill the boredom. At times something interesting would happen in the chat. If you want more entertainment, the skyblock discord has some things going on. I often hop on skyblock discord bc its easier for me. For some reason my LTE data doesn't like minechat nor my school wifi (understandable) so its hard to pop in there and flex my Galaxy S10 on everyone :weary:

    I always found running my shop to be the most entertaining, stocking it always takes time which keeps me entertained, plus finding the cheapest shops to buy from or the cheapest ways to get the items in the first place to allow me to lower my prices. Plus the feeling of getting grass is great!
    I'd usually earn about 32-64 grass from the shop daily if I kept it in stock

    Making museums for map art, rares, collection, etc

    Or making your island something like Bert's Island.

    Red stone.
    This is the main thing Drogo enjoys.
    Drogo made a one of a kind mini game on classic server. It was a 4 vs 4 archery game.
    Playable by untrusted players using the fact that they could still interact with wooden buttons via bow and arrows.
    The game automatically resets after a delay.
    Anyone wanting to view/ play it, /visit Drogo on classic then walk straight forward to find the hole in the ground.
    At the bottom you will find the game and instructions. You will need a bow and arrows.

    Drogo also created a one of a kind sheep farm on the new server that has enabled him to become Skyblocks most reliable supplier of wool. This one you can’t visit though. :)

    I guess I like building things (though I am not that great, and I am also slow at it, as I like as much as possible to build using materials I generate myself when possible) and also chit-chat with others the most. :) I'm not great at building...but I truly do enjoy it and always have and is what I find the most relaxing about Minecraft in general.

    This is me right now, I literally don't know what to do on Skyblock anymore. It's not very interesting, it's more loyalty to me; I've been here for 5-6 years, nearly 5 years on the forums. Having joined mid2014 and staying and going through 3 very different communities is not something that everybody on Skyblock does. But here goes:

    - Chatting with the community
    This is legitimately one of the only reasons why I'm still here to this day. I can't get away from the community, and if there was a community with no active players, only those who would afk, I wouldn't play. Why come here and do things when there's nobody to view your hard work? This is one of the reasons I don't enjoy *cough cough* other major servers *stares at the big H, ends in l* that have RPGs as their skyblock; yeah it makes it so there's always to do something; but if your not doing it with/to other people then whats the point? There's only so much that you can do to show off your work on those servers.

    - Experimenting with my clients/alts
    This is probably what's most notable about me; you'll always see me flying faster than what's deemed a normal pace or blasting away tunes on the noteblocks or giving other people "aeroplane rides" in a boat or dup-

    but this is what I find the most entertaining in my time on Skyblock. If people want me to play a song? I'll at least try to play it. Don't have it? Try to find it. Can't find it? Find a midi file and make it.

    If you were online yesterday, you'd know I got in a little bit of trouble for completely disabling all the settings on my island while it still had dirt on it; people came onto my alt's island and started island farming in front of 2 mods LMAO. Anyways, after all dirt was removed and voided, I had a fun little giveaway there and did a little PvP thingo.

    - Building
    I'm not the best of builders, but I certainly can make something great if I put my mind to it. The only problem with this is that; I can't be bothered putting my mind to it. Why bother making a huge store if it's not going to generate nearly as much profit as somebody like Haberson's or JJ54KES's store? I guess a little bit of profit is fine, but the only way somebody's actually going to profit is if they get resources themselves or if they buy at a very cheap rate.

    I'm also currently working on a few of my projects. The following can be viewed:
    My island - /visit phr33z
    2015 Spawn - /visit 2015Spawn
    /warp skybase - /visit OGSkybase
    PvP arena - /visit IamInferior (been on hold for 5-6 months for the fact that I really don't expect it to take off at all)

    - Profiteering
    Brings me to my next point; I enjoy trying to find really cheap stores, buying it out, then selling it at a more expensive rate. This may or may not include *cough cough* Lowballing *cough cough* in order to get a cheap rate. Often saying things like "If you sell quartz for 10:1 I'll buy it all out" will get you a nice little deal- oop business tip

    - Helping out new players
    This is probably the thing I do most here, you'll always find me saying "Anybody need/want cobblestone?" in the chat, and usually only give newer/the newest players the cobblestone from my kit. If they're brand new to Skyblock, I'll stick around a little bit and help them build up the basics of their island - an infinite water source, a cobblestone generator, new tools, a few tips and a way to get the things they need.

    This is mostly the things I do nowadays.

    Drogo is sure many have tried this with His trade shops but Drogo always has stock in reserve so it doesn’t quite work out how they planned.
