Frequently Asked Questions(top)


How does Skyblock benefit me on the Main Network?
  • You can benefit yourself on Main Network Servers from Skyblock by achieving Prestige. For more information on Prestige and how to earn it, check out the EcoCityCraft Prestige Levels page.
  • You can earn EcoDollars by selling Skyblock blocks and items. The most common way is to sell island levels in the form of blocks.
  • If you have ranks or feature packages, especially Skylegend or SkyGod on EcoCityCraft's Skyblock then you can sell kits and keys for EcoDollars.
How do I create an island?
  • Use the /is command and then select an island to start your Skyblock.
    • There are three types of starting islands.
      • Original
        • Classic Skyblock start.
      • Black Diamond
        • Challenging and more difficult Skyblock start.
      • Duo
        • Easier Skyblock start.
  • No matter which island you choose, the same set of resources will be available to you in the start chest.
    • Choosing the easier option will present you with additional resources, but provides a slight handicap in the form of less island levels to start with.
WARNING: Do not vote or use your kits or crate/vote keys before you create your island! Your inventory will be wiped upon island creation!

How do I invite my friends?
  • Use /is invite <username> to invite a user to join your island.
    • The target user must be online
    • The user must be on the same server as you.
WARNING: Joining an island will wipe your inventory!

How do I reset my island?
  • Use /is reset, then make sure to enter the confirmation command.
  • Before resetting, ask in chat for help with whatever you are stuck with. Lots of users are willing to help out so you can keep playing.
  • Your resets are limited to two resets a season, resets include /is reset or joining another user's island. If you are kicked from someone's island or you /is leave that will also use up a reset.
Remember to use /is help for other island commands. There are plenty that are useful for managing your island.

How do I level up my island?
  • Island levels are determined by the blocks placed on your island. Placing more blocks will give you more points.
  • Each block has its own value in points, this is known as "is value" can you can see this value by typing /is value <material_name> or when holding it.
  • Each island level is worth 250 points.

How do I make money?
  • Money is not typically your primary goal on Skyblock, producing blocks is.
  • Mob drops from various spawners/grinders will be your best bet for a consistent source of money.
  • Farm crops and cactus do not have any value. Only mob drops and blocks do.
  • Use the /sell hand command to sell items for money.

Where can I buy things/Where is the shop?
  • The Skyblock server shop is located at /warp shop. You will only find blocks for sale, not items.
  • You can also potentially find items for sale by other users at /warp market, or you can browse the public Skyblock islands for player shops with /is warps

Oops, I accidentally made obsidian when I was building my cobble generator. What do?
  • Right click your obsidian with your empty bucket, it will restore the lava back into the bucket.
  • If you need help building a proper cobblestone generator you can view one at both /warp spawn and /tutorial

Why does my Mob Farm/Spawner not work?
There are a variety of reasons it may not work;
  • If you are using a traditional dark room mob farm
    • Check to make sure you, your friends and any alts you are using are far enough away, hostile mobs will not spawn within 24 blocks of a player
    • On EcoCityCraft's Skyblock the larger established islands will usually take up a good deal of the mob spawns, rendering traditional dark room farms ineffective. This only becomes more of a thing as a season progresses.
      • To counteract this it has been determined that large dark platforms(more blocks = more spawning opportunities) and at least 24 blocks from any player will yield some spawns.
  • If you are using a spawner(block)
    • Be sure to check the conditions required for that mob to spawn. Spawners on EcoCityCraft do respect vanilla mob spawning conditions. Refer to the Minecraft Wiki for such conditions
