[Minecraft] Skyblock Challenge

[Wol]

See: http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/250-minecraft-minute-skyblock-survival/

You start on a tiny floating island with a tree and a chest with a few items in.

Can you get from that, to this:

Eh it depends what's in the chest surely?

I mean you can't conjure blocks out of thin air right, or has the map got stuff elsewhere in the sky you have to find?

Clicky the "challenge map" link on that top link I gave which gives a bit more info about the maps.

Thats whats in the chest for the normal mode.

Nope. Thats the only thing in the map.

And you can conjure blocks out of thin air.....

You start with a tree, which means you can get wood, and saplings. Planting those saplings gives you more wood, which ends up being self sustaining pretty much provided you pick up the saplings! So thats infinite wood.

Cobblestone generators give infinite cobblestone from water + lava. Then using infinite wood + stone = infinite picks to pick up the cobblestone

Infinite wood can be turned into infinite charcoal.

And then I imagine theres a helluva lot of other little "hacks" that you can use to get all the other items!

I think theres like a few blocks of sand within your floatyisland when you start, and one bit of bedrock (so when you spawn, you'll always land on a block) but apart from that, thats all thats in the map.

OK so how do you make a cobblestone generator with just wood? Wouldn't the bucket of lava just light it all up?

I love the texture pack in second link, but last time I tried to use one minecraft was really unstable

I had that on 1.7 but it came down to choosing a texturepack at the right resolution. The very and ultra high res ones took MC down, for me. However, something middling did perfectly fine.

dont even need wood - you just use the dirt around you. cobblestone generator is just letting lava flow into water.

1) dig trench with your fists. punch an extra block deeper down one block in.

2) place water on the end with the extra hole punched out, so the water flows across and into the hole (place ice block + punch it to turn to water)

3) place lava the other end

4) lava flows onto water and generates cobblestone.

Did a bit of homework on the memory issues. It's cos i had 32 bit java.

If you are running a 64-bit OS, download the 64-bit version of Java. For Windows it is available here.. The first few lines of the minecraft HD patcher "log" tab tell you what version of Java you are running.

Am now using this texture pack, and reflective water, and running at max view distance. Muuuuch better.
