Hi,

The server I play on (Cuddyier's) has recently adopted this mod, however, there seems to be some thing absent which is putting people off playing it over the 'old' plugin this mod is replacing. Given that the old SkyBlock Co-Op world will be gone from our server not too long from now many are talking of leaving.

I'd like to offer a suggestion to help keep the incentive in the game for many people. I understand the Island Level feature of the old plugin was very server intensive and caused a lot of lag when used excessively, it did however give people a reason to play, a competitive edge. Without it some other gamers are telling me they aren't really bothered any more and speaking for myself I have to agree with them. I believe it would be possible to retain the Island Level element of the mod without taxing the server by disabling the command's use by the gamers. The server could perform the intensive evaluation of each player's island early in the morning (obviously a time setting that could be chosen by the sysadmin) and store the results to be referenced by a command that just looks like the level command. (Asking for the island level of a player, asking for your own level, asking for top 10 etc). The players would have to be more patient and wait a day for any island changes to take effect on their level but the level system would still be in play. It would be very easy for the mod to reference a stored list rather than recalculate -every time- someone used that command. This could have been used to fix the old mod, however since it's no longer supported by the author and my server has already moved to IslandWorld I have brought this suggestion here.

I cannot emphasise enough how much effort many skyblock gamers invest into their island level and how much of an incentive it is for people to keep playing, without it some other competitive edge may have to be found or I think many will stop playing.

Personally I'd like to see a server with a 4-6 month refresh cycle of the whole skyblock and the goal would be to get to the top 10 or 20 within that time. Prizes could be anything the server owner/sdministrator decides for those at the top and the stagnation of the server would be indefinately avoided.

Please consider this, I think it could become very exciting.

Hello,

I copied the zip file into my plugins folder and unzipped. The jar and IslandWorld folder looked fine. I'm running 1.5.2 with the latest builds of WG, WE and PEX (those all work fabulously). Following the directions I made a new world with: /mvcreate IslandWorld normal -g CleanroomGenerator:20,lava. I then restarted the server and made a new island with /island create. What showed up was an Island, floating over a square void. It's like default schematic file is full of air, and it replaced all the lava (or water, I tried new worlds, and new things over and over).

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. There are no startup errors in the console, nor any errors while creating the island. See this ink for a screenshot of what is happening: http://cl.ly/image/340h3s0E0C1x

What do I need to do to fix this? Should I be using a custom schematic file? Is the included schematic for skyblock maps only..?

Thanks! -Franky

@Gnacik

Is there no way to allow them to reset once after creation immediately and then the timer comes into effect? No one is going to wait e.g. if I set it to 48 hours, to just restart their skyblock because they messed up.

Is there anyway to stop players just constantly resetting their island and taking the items each time and giving them to someone else? Maybe an island reset delay?

Is it possible to transfer an island's ownership to someone else?

@s4ndal1

So I would just have to reset my skyblock world?

@cuddyier

nope

Is there a way to transfer all my islands from ultimate skyblock to this?

I have a problem with this Plugin. Console sometimes gets flooded by this: http://pastebin.com/0MCKYZwb. What can I do to resolve this?

maybe it's a great idea to have a maximum of death until your island get reset. and also so that players can buy lives. think of all the possibilities ;)

tryed all Premessions hwo to Let pebs Create islands and so ??!

Does this plugin lag servers with over 100 players online or when islands are created?

Is it possible to join someone's island without getting an invite through /islandev?

Is it possible to use a earlier skyblockworld? I used Ultimate skyblock, but this plugin seems to be more active. So can i use the skyworld for this world?

And is there are there levels? Like when you have build much at your island your island will level up? With a top of the best 10 island levels?
