SkyBlock

SkyBlock is a module for fabric-carpet originally based on skyrising/skyblock.

This mod aims to provide an expert level SkyBlock gameplay that depends on players' knowledge of Minecraft mechanics. In some cases, outside tools such as Chunkbase or MiniHUD will be helpful. Usage of these is encouraged. Sometimes extended grinding or AFK sessions will be required for progression, although I've tried to minimize this in some cases. Unless a command is run to enable features or SkyBlock world generation is chosen, the mod will not affect other saves on the client it is installed on.

Features

SkyBlock Generation

A SkyBlock world generates exactly like a Default generation world, but with every block removed. Biomes and Structure Bounding Boxes are kept in place. This means Husks will still spawn in Deserts and Blazes will spawn in Nether Fortresses, for example.

Only two things are generated:

A small starting island where you spawn:
All end portal frames and silverfish spawners:

Even with every block removed, almost every block is obtainable and almost every mob is spawnable, using only Vanilla features.

Additional Mod Features

SkyBlock generation does, however, leave a few unobtainable resources. In addition to generation, this mod also fills in the gaps, making as minimal and Minecrafty changes as possible.

Foxes Spawn With Glow Berries

Provides Glow Berries

Disable with /skyblock setDefault foxesSpawnWithGlowBerries false

When a fox spawns with an item, there is a 20% chance the item is Glow Berries. The fox will eat them soon after spawning, so be quick.

Useful Composters (disabled by default)

Provides additional Sand, Red Sand, and Dirt

Enable with /skyblock setDefault usefulComposters true or /skyblock setDefault usefulComposters redstone

Provides an easier way to get sand/red sand than the 64/24 you can get at a time from a wandering trader.

The datapack now makes it so Husks drop Sand and Red Sand has a crafting recipe, so this is disabled by default. Additionally, Dirt farming is nicer since 1.17.

Compost result depends on the biome. Get sand in deserts, beaches, warm oceans etc, red sand from badlands, and dirt elsewhere.

When set to redstone, the composter outputs Bonemeal without a redstone signal.

Additional Datapack Features

The included datapack provides additional recipes, and advancements.

When possible, changes were added to the datapack over the mod for ease of user customization.

Additional Blast Furnace Recipe

In 1.17, Drowneds no longer drop Gold Ingots. This makes progression extremely slow and tedious as 16 Foxes spawning with Emeralds are required. By adding this Blast Furnace recipe, Golden Tools can be smelted into nuggets.

The center slot accepts any cooked meat.

Calcite and Tuff Obtainable

Provides Calcite and Tuff

Put Diorite in a Blast Furnace for Calcite.

Put Andesite in a Blast Furnace for Tuff.

Husks Drop Sand
