Other Features

HTSkyBlock includes several additional features to enhance your gameplay experience.

Cobblestone Generator

The cobblestone generator creates valuable ores when lava and water interact.

How It Works

  1. Create a Generator: Build a standard cobblestone generator (water + lava producing cobblestone)
  2. Break Cobblestone: Mine the generated cobblestone blocks
  3. Ore Chance: Each broken cobblestone has a chance to turn into an ore instead
  4. Rubble Spawns: An ore rubble item spawns on top of the block (if enabled)
  5. Regeneration Delay: The block regenerates after 1 second (configurable)

Ore Chances

Default ore chance is 20% (configurable by admins). When an ore generates, it's randomly selected based on weights:

Ore Type Approximate Chance
Copper 35% (most common)
Iron 30% (common)
Silver 15% (uncommon)
Gold 10% (rare)
Thorium 3% (very rare)
Mithril 1.5% (ultra rare)
Adamantite 1% (ultra rare)

Weighted Random

The actual ore you receive is determined by weighted random selection. Percentages are approximate based on default weights.

Permission-Based Tiers

Players with special permissions get improved generator rates:

Tier Permission Ore Chance Benefits
Default None 20% Standard ore rates
VIP htskyblock.generator.vip 25% Better ore chance + boosted iron and gold
VIP+ htskyblock.generator.vipplus 30% Best ore chance + significantly boosted rare ores

VIP Benefits

VIP tiers not only increase the overall ore chance but also shift the weights toward more valuable ores like gold and mithril.

Block Stacking

Stack identical blocks in a single location to save space and create impressive structures.

How It Works

  1. Place Initial Block: Place any stackable block type
  2. Stack More: Place the same block type on top to add to the stack
  3. Stack Counter: A hologram displays the current stack count above the block
  4. Maximum Stack: Stacks can reach up to 64,000 blocks (configurable)
  5. Breaking: Breaking a stacked block removes one from the stack, updating the counter

Stackable Block Types

By default, these block categories are stackable:

  • Soil: Dirt, sand, gravel, clay, mud, snow
  • Rock: Stone, cobblestone, sandstone, basalt, shale
  • Ores: Iron, gold, copper, thorium, mithril, etc.
  • Wood: Oak, birch, pine, aspen, beech logs and planks
  • Gems: Emerald, crystal blocks
  • Other: Cloth blocks, glass

Partial Matching

Block matching is done by partial ID matching. For example, "Soil_Dirt" matches the "soil_dirt" stackable category.

Visual Display

When blocks are stacked: - A hologram appears above the block showing the count (e.g., "x64") - The hologram updates in real-time as you add or remove blocks - Maximum display: "x64000" for full stacks

Efficient Storage

Use block stacking to create ultra-compact storage for common building materials. A single block space can hold 64,000 cobblestone.

Spawn Command

Teleport back to the server spawn point:

Command Description
/spawn Teleport to the server spawn location

Features: - Instant teleportation to spawn - Welcome message on arrival (configurable) - Works from anywhere on the server - No cooldown or cost (unless configured by admins)

Spawn Location

The spawn location is set by server admins using /setspawn or configured in the plugin settings.

Island Leaderboard

View the top islands ranked by island score:

Command Permission Description
/is top htskyblock.island.top Open the island leaderboard UI

The leaderboard displays: - Top 10 islands (or configured limit) - Player names - Island scores - Your current rank - Quick visit buttons for public islands

Competition

Compete with other players to reach the top of the leaderboard. Build impressive islands with rare blocks to increase your score.

Island Score Calculation

Island score is calculated based on: - Block Types: Different blocks have different point values - Block Quantity: More blocks = higher score - Rare Blocks: Rare and valuable blocks contribute more points - Total Score: Sum of all block values on your island

Use /is calc to recalculate your island score after making changes.

Void Fall Protection

Prevent accidental deaths from falling into the void:

How It Works

  1. Fall Detection: When you fall below Y=0 (or configured level), protection activates
  2. Teleport Back: You're instantly teleported back to your island home
  3. No Death: You don't lose health or items
  4. Message: You receive a message explaining you were saved from the void

Configuration

  • Per-World Mode: Protection active based on allowVoidDeath setting (default: ON)
  • Single-World Mode: Protection active in configured worlds (default: skyblock_islands)
  • Teleport Level: Configurable Y-level trigger (default: Y=0)

Allowed Worlds

Void protection may not be active in all worlds. Check your server's configuration or ask admins about protected worlds.

Safety First

Even with void protection, avoid building without railings or safety barriers. The protection is a last resort, not an excuse for unsafe builds.

Additional Features Summary

Feature Command/Trigger Benefit
Cobblestone Generator Break cobble in generator Generates ores passively while mining
Block Stacking Place identical blocks Ultra-compact storage (up to 64000 per block)
Spawn Teleport /spawn Quick return to server hub
Leaderboard /is top Compete and compare with other players
Void Protection Automatic Prevents void deaths and item loss

Tips and Best Practices

  1. Generator Farms: Build multiple generators and mine AFK for passive ore income
  2. Stack Management: Use stacked blocks for bulk storage, regular chests for organization
  3. Leaderboard Climbing: Focus on placing high-value blocks to improve your rank
  4. Void Safety: Build bridges and platforms carefully, but rely on void protection as backup
  5. Spawn Access: Use /spawn when you need to access spawn-based features quickly

Feature Configuration

All features are configurable by server admins. Your server may have different settings, rates, or availability for these features.
