SkyBlock - Standard

This datapack creates a classic SkyBlock island at the world spawn point upon first load. A separate Nether island is also generated.

World Generation

The datapack infinitely generates an empty world with characteristics similar to the original SkyBlock. This means all significant structures appear with their boundaries but without blocks. These structures generate at the same coordinates as in a normal world with the same seed. The only blocks that appear besides the starter islands are End portals and sculk sensors.

Starter Island

On the starter island, players will find:

• 54 dirt blocks
• 26 grass blocks
• 1 bedrock block (at world spawn)
• Oak tree
• Chest with ice block and lava bucket

Sand Island

Near the starter island, a floating sand island appears, consisting of:

• 27 sand blocks
• Cactus
• Chest with useful items

Chest Contents:

• 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 typically unavailable in standard SkyBlock but become renewable after obtaining at least one copy. Although some items can be obtained through other methods, this datapack significantly reduces the time needed to acquire them.

Nether Island

The Nether island contains:

• 40 netherrack
• 7 crimson nylium
• 7 warped nylium
• 2 soul sand
• 2 nether wart
• 14 obsidian for the portal

World Structures

All structure boundaries generate at the same coordinates as in a normal world with the same seed. Here's a list of the most important structures:

Ancient Cities

Boundaries generate as usual (mobs don't spawn within boundaries), plus sculk shriekers that can summon Wardens.

Ocean Monuments

Boundaries generate normally (guardian farms can be built), Elder Guardians spawn but immediately fall into the void.

Pillager Outposts

Boundaries generate with pillagers and Allays that normally spawn in such structures.

Strongholds

Boundaries generate with the End portal in the same location.

Witch Huts

Boundaries generate normally (witch farms can be built).

Mansions

Allays that normally generate in the regular world appear.

Nether Fortresses

Boundaries generate normally (spawner-less fortress farms can be built).

End Cities

Shulkers and ships that normally generate appear.

Trial Chambers

Boundaries generate as usual (mobs don't spawn within boundaries).

The End Dimension

In the End dimension, obsidian pillars and the exit portal generate as normal. When a player passes through End gateways, a small End island appears, but the other outer End islands don't generate. In the End highlands, return gateways can appear.

Compatibility

Standard SkyBlock is automatically compatible with any datapacks that only add structures to the world, such as Dungeons and Taverns, Structory, and Explorify. Any datapacks that modify world generation using only density functions and noise are also automatically compatible, such as Tectonic and Continents.

Datapacks that modify world generation in other ways or modify/add biomes are incompatible without additional compatibility patches.

Additional Features

It's recommended to download the companion SkyBlock Advancements datapack to improve the achievements interface. This pack restructures the main achievements tab to better suit SkyBlock instead of vanilla Minecraft.

Some items are unavailable with this simple world generation. There's an expansion pack Sky Void Additions that adds mechanics allowing all items, mobs, and achievements to be obtained.

On GitHub, additional void world generation options are available, including presets with lava pits under the End portal or complete portal rooms, plus a preset that removes all blocks and entities, leaving only a biome map with structure boundaries.
