SkyBlock Sand Island
This datapack adds a floating sand island to the game that spawns near the world spawn point. The island consists of 27 sand blocks, a cactus, and a chest containing useful items. The pack can work with other SkyBlock-style datapacks, but for best compatibility it's recommended to use Standard SkyBlock.
Simplified SkyBlock Progression
The chest on the island contains the following items:
- 10 obsidian
- 1 sweet berry
- 1 glow berry
- 1 melon slice
- 1 pumpkin seed
- 1 sugar cane
- 1 cobweb
- 1 cocoa bean
- 1 mycelium
- 1 glow lichen
- 1 sunflower
- 1 rose bush
- 1 lilac
- 1 peony
Most of these items are normally unavailable in standard SkyBlock, but become renewable after obtaining at least one copy. Although some of these items can be obtained through other methods, this datapack significantly reduces the time needed to acquire them. For example, the method to reach the Nether without the provided 10 obsidian is usually very long and tedious - it requires obtaining emeralds, waiting for wandering traders to spawn, and generating lava using dripstone.
