A data pack that enhances vanilla skyblock!
This data pack is a WORK IN PROGRESS and will continually be updated to remain balanced and feature-full.
The goal of this pack is to allow for a skyblock playthrough to be true to vanilla while improving on the default limitations inherent in the game.
Commands
As of now you have to manually set up the world to use the custom dimension.
1- Create a new world and make sure commands are allowed. (It will also be best to start in creative.)
/execute in skyblock:skyblock_dim run tp @a 0 0 0
2- Create your island, plant a tree, and start playing!
/fill ~1 ~ ~1 ~-1 ~ ~-1 minecraft:grass_block
