Gameplay

[edit]

The original Skyblock consists of a small island floating in the air. The player must survive on the island, with the goal of expanding the island, get food, and continuing to survive.[2]

History

[edit]

Variations of Skyblock were added to several servers, such as Hypixel,[3] the most popular server in the game.[4]

Clones

[edit]

Similar clones of the minigame were created in other video games.

In 2020, Skyblock was created as game in Roblox, developed by Blockman Go, which become among the most popular games on the platform, with over 75,000 players. After a DMCA request, however, the game was shut down due to copyright issues. The developer had changed the game's name to "Islands" to avoid this, but to no avail.[citation needed]
