Dear players, you are all awesome. We love it that we're friends and a community that enjoys gameplay.

[Note! Before we continue, information about access to gamemodes is listed at the end of this post]

Our default game mode is survival, this is the core goal of our server. We would love it if you come online, find a base in the /general world you can call /home, and /mine in the Mining world to gather resources. Craft them into tools, weapons, armor, and building blocks to expand your base, or even create more. Then grow as a player, become a friend, become part of the community.

On top of our survival game mode, we offer players an option to rank up if you're active, became a friend, and have played fair. Making it a little faster or a little easier to gather resources and expand your builds. But it's still survival.

Our builders group has the option to join our Creative game mode, by requesting it in our /builders world, and once a year, maybe twice, someone's invited to the /sanctuary to really show off their build skills.

Through the years we've offered variety in gameplay, through RPG / MMO style features, options, and perks. For example the more you mine, the more items double drop, or you can enable a perk like super-breaker. It adds friendly competition as well with top 10 listings for levels, votes, jobs, etc. We even had a skygrid world in the past and some pvp arenas. Upgrades by Mojang to 1.12 and 1.13 have slightly caused some issues and delays, but today we're able to hopefully not just re-introduce skygrid, but also work towards a few other things.

Survival in a very specific world, alone, or as a team of four.

Acid game mode, where you will find you have to survive in a hard environment where you can't touch the water, and the rain isn't too friendly either.

Cave game mode, where you wake up in a cave, and get to hermit underground, having to figure out how to survive there under harsh conditions.

Sky game mode, where you are on a small island with limited resources and the grind is real to build, expand and survive. Every move you make can be a strategic mistake.

Grid game mode, how are your parkour skills? While resource rich, it's twice as dangerous, hard, and with a big risk of falling.

And sure, they are not real 'gamemodes' like Creative or Survival, and the focus is still Survival. But it offers a break from the daily grind and for some, sometimes repetitive tasks.

Now that you've become part of our community, made a friend or two maybe, join this Summer 2019 in the adventure of survival in a cave, in the sky, etc. and invite them to help you make something awesome.

Please share your experiences, your screenshots, make some awesome youtube videos and/or live-stream. We love to see how you're doing on the server.

Access to these game modes, these new hard survival features, is as follows:
- Very early August: Internal beta testing, we are still setting everything up.
- Early to Mid August: Public beta testing, we will invite some groups to give it a try and provide feedback, report issues.
- Mid to End August: Hopefully sooner, but before the end of the month we will open it up to everybody.

Update: (we are on schedule right now)

We are almost ready to beta test publicly with the builders and donators group on the SKYBLOCK world.

We will start internal beta testing the cave, acid, and skygrid world.

Details are being ironed out, and threads are being created. Most things I do that I can share I have put in the recent changelog posts.

Update: (we are still on schedule)

We've completed beta testing the Skyblock gamemode, players can go to this thread, and start playing. It's still possible there are unforeseen bugs, report those! https://omgboards.com/threads/1mb-skyblock-information.261663/

We've now finished internal testing of acid/cave/skygrid, and will soon update everything to the latest version, and open it up to internal testing with the staff/beta testers.

Thanks everybody so far, for all your feedback.

Enjoy Skyblock!
