    Hey guys! Here is the Minetime Guide for Skyblock I have made!


    Available for all players
    /is - This displays the island information -
    • Door - Returns you to your island home. Do /is sethome or click the Bed below to change the island's home location.
    • Bed - Sets the island home. Click this to change where you teleport when you type /is home or click on the Door.
    • Diamond ore - Challenges. Complete these on your island to earn money, items, perks and titles. You must complete 80% of the previous rank of challenges to unlock the next level. They are listed like this: Easy Challenges; Medium; Hard; Master; and Skylord. Note: I am not permitted to list the individual challenges because "people have to unlock them to see what they are" - Kyleep.
    • XP bottle - Island level. Add more blocks to your island to increase the island level. The rarer the block is, the more levels it adds. Click the bottle to refresh it.
    • Player head - Island Group. Displays all of the members of the island. If you are the island leader, you can change players permissions. These permissions are: Change the island's biome; Toggle the island's lock; Set the island's warp; Invite other players to the island; and Kick other players from the island.
    • Jungle sapling - Change the island's biome. Click on this if you have the permissions so you can change the island's biome. Biomes can affect things like the colour of grass and the spawning of mobs.

    How to make money

    To make money when you first start, type /vote. This will bring up two links. Press 't' (or whatever your open chat command is), and click on one of the links. You will be taken to a vote page. Click the CAPTCHA (It should look like this). Next, type you minecraft username where it says 'minecraft username'. Then, click 'vote for this server'.
    Next time you log into skyblock, you will receive $20. You also get a chance to win a crate key. There are three types of crate: Common Crate; Lucky Crate; and Exceptional Crate. If you win a key, you can open one of the crates. You will win one of the items inside. These are the rewards:
    • Common Crate: 8 Diamonds; 8 Emeralds; 16 Gold Ingots; Enchanted Book (EB) Respiration III; EB Feather Falling IV; EV Protection IV; EB Thorns III; 64 XP Bottles; 16 Grass; Lava Bucket; Birch Sapling; Acacia Sapling; or $100.
    • Lucky Crate: 16 Diamonds; 16 Emeralds; EB Unbreaking III; EB Lure III; EB Luck of the Sea III; EB Sharpness V; EB Efficiency V; EB Silk Touch I; 1024 Cobblestone; 128 Sand; Dark Oak Sapling; Jungle Sapling; or $500.
    • Exceptional Crate: 48 Diamonds; 48 Emeralds; Mob Spawner; Nether Star; Dragon Egg; 90 XP Levels; 16 Bedrock; $2500; Diamond with Fortune I (I don't know either); Gold Ingot with Fortune I; or Iron Ingot with Fortune I.
    The next best thing to do is to go to someone else's shop. Not many people have these, but look out for shops that display S [Amount] on the sign. If you left-click this sign, the item it specifies will be taken out of you inventory and you will be given the amount it says.

    The third thing to do, and probably the best, is to make a shop. Ask a VIP+ to set you a warp, (or if you are VIP+ do it yourself) and build a shop around it. Note: For information on how to create a shop, go to this page.

    How to set up a successful shop

    • Don't use cobblestone. Just... ew. Use more valuable blocks, such as snow, quartz, wool etc.
    • Make it square. Confusing shop layouts will dissuade people from looking around your shop.
    • Place the item above the sign. This will help people find the items.
    • Include a sell shop in ALL items. Allow people to sell for around 1/2 to 3/4 of the price they can buy it for. This will help keep the shop in stock during periods when you aren't able to restock.
    • Include items that you do not get from kits. If you can get it from a kit, most other people can too. But if they can't get it from a kit, and they can't be bothered to make/farm it, then they will buy it.
    • Restock regularly, including less popular items. If an item is out of stock on more than one occasion, people will assume that it is always out of stock and never try to buy it.
    • Advertise regularly, but not too regularly. For a two-hour session, you should be aiming to advertise around ten times.
    What to do if people aren't buying an item: Decrease the price. Keep on decreasing the price until you think that the amount of money you get is not worth putting it into your shop, and then remove it. Try to announce it in advertisments.

    Regarding modified clients

    Using a modified client is permitted, but not catered for. All 'hacks' are allowed, as long as they do not harm the server in any way. For more information, and to view modified clients available for download, click here. Note: No Cheat Plus is enabled on the server. For more information about NC+, click here. To view what NC+ blocks, click here.

    Regarding being offline

    If the island owner does not log in for 45 days, the island will automatically be removed (or purged). Please note that it has to be the island owner that logs in, not just members of the party. However, if you have an island level of over 500, you island will never be purged.

    Regarding name changes

    Minetime have recently updated the lockette plugin and chest shop plugin. This means that if you change your username, it will update on all chests and shops.

    Regarding blocked characters

    Using characters that aren't English ASCII are blocked. English ASCII characters are basically all of the characters available on an English keyboard.

    Regarding special shops

    The main shop for skyblock is at /warp Shop. There is also an additional shop at /warp outlet. These sell items that are not in the main shop at spawn.

    Regarding Dragon Eggs

    The only way to obtain dragon eggs is through the exceptional crate. When you attempt to break these, they will teleport away. To break them, you need to put a torch two blocks below it, and then destroy the middle block. There is a diagram here.

    How to spot scams
    There are lots of scammers in and around Minetime Skyblock. To receive help on how to spot these, see this page.

    Hope this helps, and please suggest what else I can add!

    Very well done. I would suggest not making the entire bottom half in Bold.

    Something that I noticed you forgot to mention was /island setwarp, so users will be able to use /is warp <name> if enabled. You got half of it.

    /it was removed because it could bypass mutes. /delhome doesn't need to be a command because players can only set 1 home, so to replace your home, you just do /sethome again.

    I know there are multiple ways to do it, but I was just showing what is the easiest and cheapest (in my opinion)

    Type /iteminfo while holding it, and use the exact item ID that the chat says. For example, a pig spawner would be Mob Spawner#26 on a ChestShop.

    I think they're asking for an official server sell shop. No SerialLoving, I doubt any money will be given for the fortune ingots. Try selling them to a player in-game.

    Uh... If I ever see you online, I'll buy it for $1, which is more than I normally buy Iron for. ;)
