    WELCOME TO MY TUTORIAL ON HOW NOT TO SUCK AT SKYBLOCK/INTRODUCING THE NEW PLAYER TO SKYBLOCK (On IJAH)

    This is the normal player's island. It's pretty small, and doesn't contain as awesome items as some of the other islands.
    2014-02-18_20.18.56.png
    To start off, punch the tree!
    2014-02-18_20.19.24.png
    After you have punched that tree and collected all the resources including saplings, turn the logs into planks, and plant down a sapling! With those planks, extend your island.

    Now, the next picture isn't HOW to MAKE a cobble gen, but rather, how not to.

    After realising that you now have a stupid piece of obsidian, complain to the chat :(

    Donator islands.
    First up, you have the plain old donator island. Better then the regular player, that's for sure.
    [​IMG]
    Now, mine some cobble and make a gen like mine!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    And, yes I do have xray mod. As you can see here, no ores are located in this island.
    [​IMG]
    VIP islands.
    Here is the VIP island. It differs from the donator island.
    [​IMG]

    This is the stuff you get in VIP islands
    [​IMG]
    As you can see, here is the ores you get in this island.
    [​IMG]
    Here is the ItsHarry head.
    [​IMG]
    There isn't much inside. Plus I cannot seem to find the free head.
    [​IMG]
    Here, we have the WhatTheHai head. It only works if you type: ./is create WhatTheHai (whatthehai doesn't work)
    [​IMG]
    This is does come with a head :)
    [​IMG]
    Next, is the legend island.
    [​IMG]
    This island comes with the usual stuff. Iron pick & Spawn eggs.
    [​IMG]
    Now we have the Hero island.
    [​IMG]
    The chest is stuffed up, at least for me :(
    [​IMG]

    This is all I can do for the moment. The rest will be put into a comment. Enjoy!

    The best solution if you accidentally make an obsidian block instead of a cobble gen:
    Step 1: Be calm. DO NOT PANIC.
    Step 2:/is delete
    Step 3: /is create

    If you happen to fall off the island with everything in your inventory...
    Complain in the chat

    This is continuation of my main thread :/
    After 5-12 months, your island COULD look something like this:


    [Island Owner]: Map_Turtle
    [Island]: Normal
    [Time Spent]: 9-10 months.
    Main base:
    [​IMG]
    Horses :D :
    [​IMG]
    Building and a statue of my old skin:
    [​IMG]


    Other information/must haves on your island.
    1. Warp shop.
    Most of the time, the deals are awesome here, and, there is 5% chance of getting scammed. I'm looking at you mycelium signs that 'accidentally' get clicked when you are spamming the sign underneath.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    To get here, do /spawn.
    2. To create your island, do /is create OR /is create [Donator, VIP, ItsHarry, WhatTheHai, Legend, Hero, Herobrine]
    [​IMG]
    3. How to set up a shop:
    One, build it. It can be small, like my old one, or big, like my current one.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Next, the sign has to look like this, but the info can be different.
    [​IMG]
    Say, if your username is RandomPoof1, you change Map_Turtle to Randompoof1.
    If you want to sell 3 carrots for 25$, you change the 1 to a 3 and put B25.
    Lastly, you type Carrot on the last line.
    ___________
    |RandomPoof1|
    | 3 |
    | B25 |
    | Carrot |

    ------| |-------
    If you have ANY questions, ask in the comments :)

    Hope this helped make you a skyblock master rather then a skyblock newb.

    I might start a tutorial on sb1 :D
    [My island is made with effort, you could do something similar. It's just really hard on a netbook. If you tried, and spent 9 months building it, you could make something like that :P]

    Never
    Like never

    I think it's sill against the rules... Unless it doesn't matter since survival is down, but still... I have no idea...

    Anyone can. Thanks for the photos! :D
    (Just, help if you have a semi good island)
    I only use X-ray for single player, lobby & skyblock (and creative :3)
    I never plan to use it for survival, cause that's cheating. And I could get banned ._. #BanFreeRecord

    Impressive! Nice island and tutorial.

    I myself, as long with a friend of mine, created an island that I'd like to share as well!
    Now, note that we only had around 2 months of time to create this, but we did get some sponsoring for Yomc, I think (ask victorius_deus, he knows the most).

    I was in charge of the mechanics and inner functions, as well as the money-making, and Vic did all the amazing aesthetics and decorations.

    Full shot!

    I wanted to sponsor it; sadly, I never got the chance.
    But it is like epic because I endorsed it since I am the Skyblock Lord
    It's because of me that the island is so awesome
    Rockor and Vic did nothing
    All me XD
    (Kidding, maybe)
