      ✿ Skyblock ✿
      Undeniably beautiful. Indulge yourself on the journey of the Sky People. Work to make your basic floating island into a metropolis in the sky. Use the economy to your advantage and gain wealth by creating custom shops. Compete with others in cash and money to fight to claim the glory of being called the Sky Lord. Will you be able to grab this opportunity?

      Cobblestone Generator:
      Creating a cobble gen is always the first thing you want to do in skyblock.
      All you need is water/ice & a lava bucket. Then you can get infinite cobblestone.
      Create one by having water and lava meet. This is an example of what you want:

      Making a shop:

      There is no server shop. The way you get money, is by creating your own shop! (Or selling to other player's shops).
      The plugin mineverse has, is called 'Chest Shop'. You make a sign close to, or on a chest, for other players to buy/sell items from you. Here's how to make one for yourself: (B = Buy, S = Sell)

      Trees:

      Many people will have this issue: They cut down their tree once they first start, but their tree doesn't drop a sapling. How are they supposed to get more wood? Don't worry, simply do '/kit sapling' for 3 free oak saplings. (cool down of 20 minutes)

      Auction:
      Want to quickly sell something from your inventory? Auction it.

      Skyblock island commands: View by typing /is help
      /island | /is
      Start your island, or teleport to one you have.
      /is invite [player]
      Invite a player to join your island. (They will loose their island if they join)
      /is ban [player]
      Bans a player from entering your island via /is warp [player]. This command is very useless, since a player that's banned will still be able to enter your island if you have a /warp.
      /is kick [player];all
      Removes a player from your island, if added.
      /is restart
      Restarts your island and all challenges.
      /is reject
      Rejects an invitation to join a player's island.

      /is togglewarp
      Disables players from /is warp to your island.
      /is accept
      Accepts an island join invitation.

      /is level [player]
      View a player's island level.
      /is leave
      Removes you from whatever island party you're apart of.
      /is setwarp
      Sets your island's warp location.
      /is makeleader [player]
      Transfers your island to another player.

      Spawners & spawn eggs:
      Spawners/spawn eggs are one of the more useful, and expensive items you can buy on skyblock. Both, at the moment, are not as expensive as they were in the past. Back then, you could change any spawner using a spawn egg.
      Example: Hit a pig spawner with a zombie spawn egg = Zombie spawner.
      Currently, this feature is down.
      [EDIT] On February 1st, Cypriot fixed the issues with spawners. We now can change a spawner with a spawn egg.

      Here are the prices of the spawners & spawn eggs you will see being bought:

      Spawners
      Prices may vary depending on who is selling. Here are the average prices for how much these are sold.
      Pig: 35k

      Spider: 50k
      Zombie pigman: 90k

      Rare blocks:
      Here are some of the expensive blocks you can find being sold from time to time. I'm not sure how some of these were brought in, most I know were hacked in.

      Ores - All sold for around 45k each.
      Excluding iron ore which can be obtained through a challenge.
      2016-01-24_15.35.30.png (Picture taken at '/warp sandshoprare', created by
      @Butfa & @Hotnikki)

      Bedrock - I don't know how this was put into some players inventory, but somehow there is a small quantity of bedrock in the game.
      Beacon - One of the most commonly sold rares, usually sold for around 30 - 40k.
      Heads/skulls - All heads go for around 45k each.
      Netherrack - Since the nether is disabled, these are rare. Usually 8k a piece.
      Soul sand - Very rare block, only a handful of people have them. 150k
      Nether star - 45k
      Granite/Diorite/Andesite - All very rare, around 45k.
      Quartz - All quartz items are rare, any thing related to quartz are sold for 45k on average.
      Coal - 6k
      End portal frames - 100k per frame.
      2016-01-24_16.58.11.png View attachment 58298


      Commonly bought items:
      Here are some items that everyone, at some point, buys.
      Grass/Dirt: $20
      Sand: $20
      Cobblestone: 64 for $32
      Iron: $10
      Diamond: The price of a diamond is constantly changing. Always within the $1000 - $2000 range. Currently $1300
      Gold: $20
      Lava bucket: $300 - $400
      Emerald: $25
      Glowstone: $20
      Glass: $15


      Island level:
      2016-01-24_17.45.51.png
      Your island level shows basically how mature your island is. To raise it, there are certain blocks that can help you do that.
      - Placing plants and trees grow your island level fairly well.
      - Placing grass/dirt.
      - Emerald/Iron/Gold/Lapis/Diamond blocks all will greatly increase your island level.
      Besides those, expanding your island with any block will also increase your island level.


      Duplicating:

      Duplication is really not a big issue on skyblock. There's a few cases now and then, but skyblock is pretty clean. Duplication is the reason behind hoppers and nether portals being disabled. Until those glitches are patched, we won't see hoppers or the nether working on skyblock.

      Voting:
      After you vote for the server (/vote), you receive $100 and a crate key. Every 300 votes there is a vote party. Once there's a vote party, everyone online will receive a couple crate keys. You can use your crate keys at /warp crates, to get cool rewards and money. Or, you can sell them to other players.
      2016-01-24_18.09.19.png
      2016-01-24_18.09.46.png
      Possible crate rewards:
      - $50 - $200
      - Iron pickaxe
      - Redstone
      - Iron
      - Cobblestone
      - Voter key
      - Diamond pickaxe

      Island party:
      You can join someone's island, or invite other players to yours. Once you join another player's island, you will loose yours. An island's party max is 5 players.

      Challenges:
      Challenges can be viewed by executing '/challenges' or '/c'. Which should show you this:
      2016-01-24_18.28.45.png
      Each one gives you a reward. Challenges in the past were repeatable, but now they are not.

      Warps:
      You can create your own warp by typing /setwarp (name). Anyone can create infinite warps now. If you create a warp then wait a little bit and disconnent, you'll be able to come on and create another. This is actually not how it's supposed to be. Having the ability to set more warps used to be a donator perk. But in the past, there was a glitch where players could do ".warp fly" then fly. Because of this, we had to get a new warp plugin which doesn't allow you to /delwarp (warp), and make it so you can create infinite warps.

      Setting a warp is really the main purpose of skyblock on mineverse. People create shops, amusement parks, giant pixel arts, and more. Then advertise their warp in the chat.
      "Warp sandshop to buy anything!"

      Hopefully you learned a bit more about our skyblock today! ;)
      If you think I made a mistake here, or have an idea of something to add; please let me know!

      Nice guide, although some of the items prices you named are kinda overpriced from when I last saw them being sold.
      You should add how to auction and sell/buy sign.

      Thanks for telling me, will add.
      I'll add that.
      Also, could you show me where some of the price mistakes are? I know a lot of spawner prices have gone down since the spawn eggs + spawner thing broke.
