Solo Leaderboards:
To level the playing field, we’re introducing a second set of island top leaderboards dedicated entirely to Solo Islands. Using /island top, players can now switch between Solo and Team rankings, giving solo players a fair and competitive space of their own. To highlight their achievements, the top three Solo Islands will also be proudly displayed at spawn on their own pedestals.

New Custom Enchants:
This upcoming season introduces a range of brand new custom enchantments designed to make your gear more powerful and your progression smoother than ever. Leading the charge is Point Luck, a brand new armor enchantment that rewards players with additional points while farming, making every harvest more rewarding and efficient. Alongside this, Spawner Breaker II has been added, allowing players to mine up to 64 spawners at once, drastically reducing the time and effort required to relocate or redesign your grinders. These new enchantments are built to streamline gameplay, enhance efficiency, and give players even more ways to optimise their setups this season.

Backpacks:
Need more storage while farming, grinding, or building on your island? Backpacks are now available in the Mobcoin Shop, giving every player valuable extra inventory space wherever they go and letting you stay in the action longer without constant trips to empty your inventory. And they’re not just practical, backpacks are fully customisable with a range of epic skins, including stylish wing designs that take your in-game fashion to the next level, allowing you to combine efficiency and style wherever your grind takes you.

Crates Revamped:
Like much of the Skyblock server, our crates system has been completely overhauled for the new season! Crates are now split into unique key types, letting you go after the rewards you really want. Sick of perks you already own? On the hunt for that perfect skinned armor set? Now you can target your prize directly—no more unwanted rewards!

Skins Overhauled:
If you’ve been around on Minecraft Central for a while, you’ll know we’ve had a few attempts at implementing skins, none of which quite hit the mark. In the past, they were limited to a handful of basic helmets, offering little more than a cosmetic touch.

This upcoming season, that all changes. Skins have been completely rebuilt from the ground up, and now you can apply them to all your armor and tools. Best of all, skins are now stored directly on the items themselves, giving them real value - you can even trade or share your skinned gear with friends! If you ever want to switch things up, you can easily unskin your items and try a whole new look.

Runes:
Runes are powerful, unique items obtainable exclusively from limited-time crates. They allow players to enhance their gear with special traits and buffs, giving you greater control over how your equipment performs. Runes are fully flexible, they can be applied or removed at any time, so you’re never locked into using one on a single item. If you wish to detach a rune, simply use the /removerune command.

Plushies:
This upcoming season, plushies are coming to Skyblock! These adorable collectibles can be obtained from our limited-time crates and placed around your island to decorate your builds in style. Best of all, plushies are completely free to claim when you open your limited-time keys. What are you waiting for? Start collecting and show them off this season!

New Interfaces:
Creating interfaces in Minecraft has always been a challenge, often relying on clunky workarounds. Thanks to the powerful new tools in the latest Minecraft versions, we’ve completely overhauled all of our GUIs with a sleek, unified design across every plugin. The result is a cleaner, more intuitive interface that’s easier to navigate and gives the entire server a seamless, consistent feel.

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!
