UniversalMC Skyblock combat area with a skeletal mob, lava-lined terrain and stone pillars beneath a cloudy sky

Gamemode · Skyblock

One island. Endless frontier.

Start with a floating rock in the void and grow it into something worth visiting.

Already in the hub? Type /skyblock

Your island

A platform, a tree and a chest. The rest is up to you.

Run /island create and you'll be dropped onto a small starter platform floating in the void, with a tree and a supply chest to get you going. Every island sits on its own spot of the grid, so nobody ever builds on top of you.

Everything in one menu

/island opens your home, members, settings, biome and the top islands.

Island flags

Decide separately what members and visitors can break, place, open and pick up.

See your border

/island border outlines your island's edge, visible only to you.

Show it off

Type [warp] in chat and anyone can click it to visit - unless you've locked your island.

150 × 150

100 × 100

50 × 50

Spend Money on /island upgrade to push your border out 25 blocks in every direction.

Co-op

Build it together - up to ten to an island.

Bring your friends aboard. Only members with build rights can change your island, and the empty void between islands is fully protected.

/island invite <player>: Ask someone to join your island
/island accept · deny: Answer an invite you've received
/island coop <player>: Co-op a player onto your island
/island trust <player>: Trust a player on your island
/island kick <player>: Remove a member
/island leave: Leave an island you've joined

Progression

From cobblestone to the top of `/island top`

Your island value comes from the valuable ore blocks and stacked spawners on it, and it's ranked server-wide. Here's how islands climb.

Upgrade your generator
Build an ordinary lava-and-water cobblestone generator. Each of its 10 upgrade levels unlocks better ores, and near the top a roll can even become a Lucky Block.
Stack your spawners
Buy spawners from the shop and merge matching ones into a single stacked block - all the way up to the Guardian, the top tier, sold for Orbs.
Plant money trees
Logs harvested in the Forest can drop tree heads. Plant one on your island, water it, and every harvest pays out - and makes the next one better.
Automate
Sell Chests, Chunk Hoppers, the Harvester Hoe and robots keep your island earning while you're busy elsewhere.
Grow your border
Each island upgrade adds 25 blocks in every direction, up to 150 × 150 - room for bigger farms and more value.

Economy

Money, Mob Coins and Orbs.

Three currencies, three different grinds - and plenty of ways to trade with other players.

Claim /daily every day to build a login streak, and check /playtime for milestone rewards.

Money

The main currency. Earn it by selling to the /shop - by hand, with /sellall, a Sell Wand or a Sell Chest - and spend it on blocks, spawners, generator and island upgrades.

Mob Coins

The grind currency, earned by killing mobs, breaking value blocks and collecting from Mob Coin Trophies. Spend it in the /mobshop or exchange it for Money.

Orbs

The rare one - mostly from crates and votes. Spend it in the /orbshop on the Guardian spawner, robots and utility items.

/ah

List a stack at a fixed price for anyone to buy.

/trade

Swap items and Money face to face - nothing moves until you both confirm.

Chest shops

Set up a sign shop on your island that trades even while you're offline.

Skyblock ranks

Bought in-game with network Coins via /coinshop. A Skyblock rank applies on Skyblock only, and each rank includes everything below it. See them all with /ranks.

Mineshaft dungeons

Spend a key. Spin the wheel. Clear every room.

Solo dungeons in four depths - Shallow, Deep, Abyssal and Hell. Before each room the wheel decides how dangerous it is, and how much it pays. Keys come from fishing, the Forest, money trees and playtime. Enter with /dungeon.

Off the island

Bosses, a whole separate world to explore, and the void itself to fish in.

World bosses

A dedicated boss world split into four regions, each with its own boss and arena. One rises on a regular schedule - deal enough damage to earn a share of the loot. Check the schedule with /boss.

Thornback the OvergrownVerdant region
Frostmaw the HollowFrozen region
Khet the SandboundDesert region
Infernus the AshenVolcanic region

The Adventure

A separate, fresh survival world - with its own Nether and End - and a set of weekly quests that reset every week. Step in with /adventure.

Robots

One Robot Chassis, six jobs. Place it on your island and program its role - and upgrade it as you go. They're rare: look for them in the /orbshop, top crates and dungeon rewards.

Collector - Vacuums dropped items into the nearest chest.
Farmer - Harvests and replants crops, cane, melons and pumpkins.
Gardener - Ages crops and grows saplings.
Lumberjack - Fells natural trees and replants them.
Hunter - Fights mobs - kills pay Mob Coins to its owner.
Chunk loader - Keeps your farms running with nobody nearby.

Void fishing

Cast a Void Fishing Rod off the edge of your island. Sell your custom fish, chase the current hot fish, fill out your collection, and level the rod's own abilities. It all lives in /fishing.

King of the Hill

Hold a capture point alone long enough and the reward is yours.

Envoys

Waves of keyless crates scatter across the map - first to click one claims it.

Mob armor sets

Mobs drop heads that craft into full armor sets. See every recipe with /sets.

Forest & mines

Shared areas with regenerating logs and ores - the mines come with extra-tough mobs. Get around with /warps.

Weather Totem

Golden Sun, Growing Rain or Lightning Storm - a timed boost to Money, Mob Coins or Orbs for your whole island.

Crates & kits

Virtual keys from Vote up to the Mob Crate in /crates, plus rank kits in /kits.
