How to play

Skyblock is a Minetest puzzle game where the world is mostly empty at first except a small floating island which is generated for you.

You start out standing on the island. Your rank is Level 1. There are 10 quests to complete.
When a quest is achieved, you get a reward. When all 10 quests are achieved, you are promoted to Level 2 and given new quests with new rewards. And this until the last level.

Finish Level 3 and you graduate as a Skyblock Master. You are granted Fly and Fast privileges. From the Level 3 you can almost build what you wish. You can also try to finish all Levels to acquire all building resources.


Rules

All languages are welcome, but try to speak English if you can.
Swearing is allowed, within reasonable limits.

Placed your equipments in a "normal" chest isn't recommended because any other players can steal your equipments into this "normal" chest :/ (The fly and fast privileges are given automatically if you finished the level 4)

We recommend you to placed your equipments in a locked chest, you can craft it at the end of the level 2 :) (only you will have access to this chest)

Let's say someone cooks their last iron ore by mistake... What do they do then? (And by they, I mean me.)

Start over :D
You can't get it by yourself, maybe someone else on the server could help you out, although I don't really know how this server works.

@DS-minetest
This is the Locked Chest craft recipe :
Image


Update of the server :
- Some minor bugfixs,
- Now stick stacks per 1 000 instead of 99 (why ? Because you need many sticks for your quests, and your inventory isn't very big),
- We also give the "home" and "sethome" privileges to all new (and old) players (if you haven't this privilege earlier, it's because i forget it... :()

Planned for the next update : an unic sound when you complete a quest (for you), an unic sound when you complete a quest (for all players except you), and a sound when a player complete a level (for all ingame players)

Have Fun of Our "MinetestForFun SKYBLOCK" server ! :)

There's no way for me to be able to get cactus or desert sand. Add onto that, what about the acacia trees and lava? Without the cactus, I won't be able to get the green dye? Is there a way I can craft or obtain one or more of the mentioned items? Mushrooms (both red and brown ones) as well?

For some more fun and decoration, what about bone blocks and even nyan cats and their rainbows?

Reported on a Github issue, you have many great ideas, we will do our best to add it if the devs are OK with it, some ideas you have are linked with the new Minetest_Game update, so if we code it, it will be Upstream with the Subgame repository... :) https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... /issues/32

More: what about snow, the snow block, ice, and the river water? I just made a simple bed, which could come in handy when a night needs to be skipped. Could a crafting guide be given at the last level so that one could reference what could possibly made, too?
Good job! I now see the hearts and the bubble meter, so players can still die by drowning.

All your comments are very interesting, we're actually thinking about how to add/fix all of those things. Stay tuned !

The server is indeed in "survival" mode because we need it for players before the level 4 : if they fall, they die, and loose they current level steps.

After the level 4 you win fly+fast, so you can't die anymore. If, by mistake, you fall and supposed to die, you do not die but instead you will be teleported to your "/home" point.

The PvP is desactivated in the server, so you can't kill each other. (it's a feature we implemented)

Problem: fly+fast is granted for all players right now.

Do you plan to keep this server up for a long time?

We are aware of the server crashes, we have already fixed the problem, we just need to update the server.

We will reboot the server for update soon. Anyway, thank you for the report :)

EDIT : server now rebooted and Up-to-Date (with the crashfix) !

I ask for somebody to do the announce but apparently nobody of our kind developers want to do it... :p

We are currently on the migration of the server in CANADA, because of many things, but mainly because of the french partriot act and secondly for a more powerful server (+100MB bandwith, +16GB RAM, + 1To HDD, etc...).

We don't want any type of privacy violation for our players or for us.

We can't give you the time at which it will be over, but i have 1To of data to migrate, so it will be long... Sorry !

What is "long?"

Several days, several weeks, or months?

Server Up Again !

Well done ! The migration is OVER, the server is now hosted in CANADA.

The new IP Address is now 158.69.114.146 (same port as before)
If you was using the domain name "qbuissondebon.info", you will surely wait until tommorow to used it again.

Have fun on our servers ! :)

Which mod is used for the inventory?

It's just impossible because the migration is just a "Shutting down a VM" -> "Migrate VM" -> "Start a VM" and we don't touch the player files manually.
But i can perform a manual check or reset the password or your intial account if you want, im waiting your answer :)

cessna151 wrote:Which mod is used for the inventory?

A custom mod based on "unified_inventory" from the SkyBlock subgame, you can find it here : https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... n-skyblock

I made this video to help explain the problem: https://youtu.be/jQ-dOVH5uAw

Ignore the graphics. I had to switch to direct3d9 to make screen capture work.

Hi,

Ok, we see where the problem is, it's core related but we will fix it with a bit of code.

You just need to wait the fix & next merged of the server and your first account will be re-playable :)

We will also Upstream this bug to corenote, thank you for your report !

The server is now online again, the crash was due to a mistake on the new sounds code (the fix is permanent and it will never re happened)

Let's talk a little about the new sounds we added :
- A sound for you when you complete a quest https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... _quest.ogg
- A sound for you when you complete a level https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... player.ogg
- A sound for the other player when you complete a level https://github.com/MinetestForFun/serve ... _other.ogg

The sounds are short and sweet, we added them because the server haven't many sounds like ambiance and the server seems friendlier like this :)

@cessna151
For your problem, have you ever set a /sethome point ? if yes, just type /home and you will be teleported at the right place.
If it doesn't work or you didn't have set a homepoint, can you come to our irc for speaking a little ?
@irc.inchra.net #minetestforfun-dev

EDIT :
A little check on the server logs :
2015-10-17 15:32:03: ACTION[ServerThread]: Server: User cessna151 at 166.xxx.xx.xxx supplied wrong (SRP) password from address 166.xxx.xx.xxx.
Are you sure the problem isn't the password ?
