FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I noticed there was a lack of "good" skyblock maps, so I decided to make one.
I thought it turned out well, and I hope you enjoy it! And also, this map requires the latest minetest build.


Things that are different in this map:

• There are no nodes on the map(except the skyblock of course)
• There is a lava sheet to stop you from falling to the bottom of the world
• I put seeds for wheat and cotton in the chest for the farming version(as well as one papyrus)

Tarball


Rules

• Don't use give command(unless the tree doesn't drop a sapling)
• No cheats of any other kind(flying, noclip, etc.)

List of Challenges:

• Make a stone generator
• Make a suitable shelter
• Craft a furnace
• Make a tree farm
• Collect 10 apples
• Make a cotton farm, a papyrus farm, a wheat farm, and a cactus farm
• Get 2 stacks of cobble
• Make a bookshelf
• Make a full set of stone tools
• Make your username in large letters

I guess it would be better if someone just continues the skyblock game by cornernote.

I didn't really like it that much, and I want to have farming.

Well, adding farming is part of continuing it.

Btw, I'm planning on adding an in game checklist in the worldmods folder once I figure out how to use formspecs in the way I want.

Finally a nearly complete copy of the Minecraft SkyBlock! Thx Evergrenn

Your welcome! Keep a lookout for changes, as I plan to add an ingame checklist via the worldmods folder.

Can i help you in any way to work/develop the map?

The only thing I plan on doing is adding a checklist that updates automatically. Not really much else, sorry you can't help.

OK it's fine. It's just I got vacations at the moment (as you know) and I got nothing to do ;)

Thanks Evergreen! Your the best! Always wanted this, but didn't have minecraft, now i can do it... on minetest :D

There have been others, but I wanted to improve it by having no nodes on the map + some other stuff. Thanks though. :D

Update:

• Added 2 blocks of sand in the middle of the skyblock
• Added 1 cactus to the chest
• 3 more challenges: Collect 10 apples, craft a bookshelf, and make a cactus farm(only able to have 2 cactus at a time)

Hello Evergreen,
- What about having two "water source"s in the chest instead of two buckets of water? It would make the user more carefull about not loosing the bucket. I find that in Skyblock, something fun is that you should always be carefull about what you have on yourself so that if you fall you don't loose something you couldn't harvest or mine.
What do you think of that?

- And why not putting the "List of challenges" in the "README.md" so that when we play we don't have to surf the Web. And I think that "Minecraft" and "Minetest" take a big "M".

- And why not have an obsedian block at the very back of the column of spawn so that if we mine all the column of spawn, we don't die and spawn for ever.

- Finally a question. If I go far from the island, will I find land? On CapitainSparkles video, I found very nice the fact that he could land on a big area.

Thank again for your map, maybe one day a game...

I played it and I turned my lava into stone but I fixed it on creative

I mean obsidein or what ever

Whoops, sorry it took me so long to reply to you. First, that is a good idea, I might change it when I have the time. Second, also a good idea, will change that too. Third, I don't think that would be the best way to do that. I might make a small mod that allows you to set where you spawn though. And finally, no. I generated the world with the singlenode option in the minetest.conf, so there should be no land anywhere except the skyblock.

You should make a mod to go with the map that allows you to craft things you can't normally craft in the regular mine test game. Like there should be a way to make coal, iron, mese, diamonds, or what ever, like you could make it so that smelting wood makes coal. There should be a way to make everything, like cornernote's game. The only thing I dont like about cornernote's game is that you have to complete the objectives, you can't just do whatever you want.

I'm not going to add a way to make ores, but allowing you to make charcoal is a good idea.

which mod do I need?

You don't need any mods. Just copy the world to your worlds folder.

This is great, it would make more sense if this was a game. That way one can start several games easier using the menu ui.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. I have a lot of things to do, but am to lazy to do them. Pull requests are welcome. :P

I enjoyed this quite a bit. It would be neat if you added the achievements mod to this, so it could keep track of the challenge.
I finished my skyblock a few days ago. It's not very challenging, but it's still fun.

Also, as far as I know the ice block doesn't melt, but it could be redefined to melt when next to lava, so you could provide an ice block instead of buckets of water or water source (I think that's how MC's Skyblock does it and it does sound like a neat idea).

i dont know how to download it

I am actually thinking of doing a complete revamp of the map. Instead of using MC's skyblock island, I will use the island in the minetest logo. It will have lava in the cave, a chest with farming stuff, 2 buckets, etc. I am working on this atm.

Can you add a sand island or other individual islands containing different objects and materials. (Not continuing Evergreen's post)
