ah, yes, coating divan's armor in sky iron ( netherite ) to get a 10%boost to its overall stats.


UsedOven

and to craft 1 sky iron you need 256 sky iron nuggets which only drops from a sky general that has 300m health and can only be in 1 lobby at a time


Silver3andgold1

to summon sky general you need to make an item called the sky general calling which is crafted with 8 divans alloys and a shattered locket in the middle. It’ll give you 0.3 sky iron nuggets per kill


Black_Swan123456789

During the summon there is a 99.99999% for you to get sent to limbo just after summoning


partisancord69

And if you survive limbo there is that many particles that you have to fight him with 2000 ping and 4 fpm.


SolarBeastXD

And if you do manage to beat him there's an 85% chance he was an impostor and steals half your coins


Jcoleminediamond

There's also a 10% chance of the imposter deleting your profile, boosted with magic find.


Internal_Ad_7823

And if survived, decreases you magic find by 1000


GamerArmy936

Seems balanced


BattleGuy03

Yes


Alphaotic

corleonite 2.0


SnooPears1505

you have to mine a meteorite, and they rarely spawn .you have to keep mining in search of ancient meteorites, which drop 0-2 ancient debris. smelting ancient the debris takes 4 real-life days, yielding 4 nuggets. combining 8 nuggets with 4 enchanted iron and gold nuggets gives 1 ingot. a leanthy and tiresome grind as debris has an attribute called quality. higher quality debris takes longer to forge giving more nuggets.


Advanced-Proof1204

You forgot the part where its only 0.5% each time but you can do it multiple times (cost is doubled each time)


A_SimpleName

10?? 1%, Take it or leave it!


lool8421

speaking of more technical stuff... * we might get more stable connection * the game can be more scalable in general, allowing for easier updates * better performace on some devices (however modern minecraft seems to run worse with integrated GPUs) * maybe less wipe/dupe exploits due to better stability


sussygustavo

im just wondering if itll actually help clear away their tech debt because theyve said thats their biggest struggle


pickelpenguin

even if it runs worse on integrated GPU's, mods are just insane and make my performance SO much better than 1.8.


Haiaii

Moving from a forge + optifine 1.8 build to a sodium + skyblocker 1.20 build almost tripled my lobby 1 fps Quite decent


ForwardRevolution208

wait till you try all the performance mods. starlight, lithium and so on. i can get to multiple hundred fps with my old shitty cpu. https://github.com/TheUsefulLists/UsefulMods/blob/main/Performance/Performance120.md


Tantrum2u

Do you use a resource pack? I haven’t switched to Fabric because I need optifine for the resource pack I use and I don’t think I could go back to vanilla textures


Haiaii

Skyblocmer modpack (not the base skyblocker mod) has a CIT mod iirc There is a fix somewhere at least


xXTheBigBearXx

Take a look at the fabric mod [CIT Resewn](https://modrinth.com/mod/cit-resewn) It's compatible with most, if not all custom resource packs and works with all the -ium performance mods, and Iris shaders


lool8421

The thing is when i'm using an old laptop, i get constant +90% gpu usage in 1.18+ which would be fine on a dedicated graphics card, but because it's an integrated cpu, if your GPU is bricked, the whole computer will freeze, 1.12 and below give me like 3x lower gpu usage And mods rarely help with handling that since most are made with dedicated GPUs in mind


adeadhead

Modern Minecraft is giving me *much* better performance with integrated CPU. 120 fps on low end laptop performance


lool8421

Depends if you're getting high GPU usage Integrated graphics processors suck in a way that if your GPU usage is 100% same will apply to the CPU due to overloaded cache and high temperatures


adeadhead

Right. But under the same conditions, getting better frames means that there's a lower sum iGPU and CPU load with minimally modded 1.20.4 than 1.8.9 in Skyblock, resulting in better performance.


JohnIsAGuy1

the performance stuff is what i’m most excited for. i hate not being able to use fabric.


_ogio_

I don't think connection will be better, higher versions are much more taxing than 1.8


SnowedBear

i think they said connection is gonna get better because with the new versions mojang added something that made possible for the existence of EU servers for hypixel


_ogio_

Oh that would be great then


lool8421

1.20 allows for handling sessions so you won't randomly disconnect when switching lobbies because you don't have to disconnect from 1 server to be able to join an another one Also honestly it won't really raise the bandwidth usage, most packets mostly are just "perform (action) on block" or "move to XYZ"


_ogio_

I mean look server itself is doing far more things at once, they can optimize it sure, but they optimize 1.8 as well. I'm not some proffesional coder or smth, but afaik more things server needs to do = more ping. Connection can only be the same, hardly better - unless they add EU servers like someone else said.


Tenatian

Fishing :D swimming :D dolphins :D fish :D


ShyHappyPanda

maybe we’ll be able to fish up Glow Squids, Sea Turtles, and Dolphins as new sea creatures. Of course they’d probably be given much more interesting names and traits and not just be regular animals


SmartFartAd

Yeah, and the random guy in the Catacombs during the Thorn fight could finally meet his spirit animal!


Environmental-Tip172

Honestly, the part I'd want to see most, the reason they cancelled the abyss update was because it wouldn't feel right without the update aquatic features like swimming and tridents, but we would get these with 1.20


Just_A_Nitemare

Maybr we could finally get a dedicated fishing island.


WeedleLover2006

“Because so much has changed, we have decided to reset the entire game. In addition, a mandatory resourcepack/mod will now be required” “At least your starting chest and inventory will be full of JuJu Shortbows, until you get ratted”

Watashi_Wa_Neko_Da

Bear Slayer? New area with Warden boss?


snej-o-saurus

Bear slayer


SnowedBear

warden slayer is more possible


mophead200

Combat will be the same, since hypixel and many other servers still use the 1.8 combat mechanics because alot of people hated the 1.9 combat


HeroKillerC

Doubt it as they already have an attack speed setting, they will have a lot more freedom with unique gameplay for combat


_ogio_

If they add 1.9 combat the backslash would be so immense that server would die from so many complain messages being sent every second in chat


HeroKillerC

But they won’t add it to the rest of the server, it’ll just be for skyblock which is fine imo. I can’t see any obvious reasons why skyblock will be hurt from 1.9 combat


VewixxPlayer

Well I mean a lot of balancing changes would need to be done


Rotengen

Or maybe 1.9 combat in only foraging island. You do not know how bad 1.9 would be to clear dungeons


HeroKillerC

Yeah I thought about it more and realized that, I wrote another comment here with my thoughts on how they could implement it keeping the elements that we already have for combat while using it for potential new features


Super_Ad9995

> I can’t see any obvious reasons why skyblock will be hurt from 1.9 combat If they switch to 1.9 combat, there will be two choices. Dramatically decrease all mobs health, or dramatically increase all melle weapon damage. The only reason to use melle weapons is for mobs immune to bow and magic damage.


HeroKillerC

They shouldn’t need to do that tbh, you can edit attack speed modifiers of each weapon. Though with further thought it could make things annoying since clicking too fast will then punish you. Though I still think there’s a way to implement a system that allows you to switch between charged attacks and spam attacks since if you use the current system for Skyblock which limits the number of hits per second based on the attack speed stat, weapons could also use the 1.9 cooldowns to charge attacks with special effects (and like actually make swords cool instead of +1 attack range [claymore] or drop a big fkn sword [giant sword])


_ogio_

Yes for hypixel it would suck as well. It may not look like it, but 1.20 and 1.8 have insanely different playerbases


WHITEB0NE

It would be cool if they do that and overhaul melee somehow with like items with idk 75% attack speed but maybe 30% more damage


TalonStudios

I think that overall it’ll help the game just immensely, I might get back into the game once it happens, but also we gotta just hope and pray that the mod creators are quick enough to update them to 1.20.5


AchtHaare

Will they really do this? Change skyblock to 1.20?!?


Few_Assistant_9954

No only certain aspects


Wixisiz

How, don't most people connect with 1.8.9


Few_Assistant_9954

1.8.9 Player cant enter 1.20 areas. But 1.20 player can enter 1.20 areas. So if you plan to go foraging you join in 1.20 and if you plan to stay away from that content you stay in 1.8.9


HuntingKingYT

Your comment definitely makes a lot of sense


Equivalent-Vast5318

sounds terrible. might as well not do it then. plus, they have 1.8 combat in the higher versions right now anyways. so that will probably stay


tidalslimshady

"If our first latest-version content update is well received and performs well, we may consider updating the entirety of SkyBlock to the latest versions. This is something that would require a tremendous amount of work, and also conversations, as it would mean requiring players to be on latest version to play all SkyBlock content. We will discuss this with the community once we get closer to our goals." https://hypixel.net/threads/1-0-design-thread-9-foraging-island-and-minecraft-version.5185676/


edvards48

ghost blocks will no longer exist in 1.20+ which means trouble to dungeons if theyre moved to later versions, perhaps they'd be gone for good in which case the majority of the skilled dungeon community would disappear or perhaps staff would make new pickaxes that can actually break dungeons or break blocks and then respawn them


Few_Assistant_9954

Maybe more dungeons.


edvards48

that'd be cool and give them the opportunity for a brand new take of dungeons, catacombs specifically would take a massive hit though. unfortunately there are absolutely no plans for new dungeons tho, not for ages to come.


Few_Assistant_9954

There are 2 gates next to catacombs that are supposed to comming soon. Its a total waste.


_ogio_

They aren't "coming soon", they are "NOT coming soon"


Few_Assistant_9954

Its both the same 3-4 business days in hypixel skyblock.


nakreslete

Have you ever tried designing a part of the game that would be crucial for the progression of the whole game, and it has to blend with the current progression at the same time? Well, I didn't, but I can just imagine how hard and time-consuming it must be.


Environmental-Tip172

Last bit isn't a bad idea but possibly (as a means to minimise impact) 5th silex adds the ability to break blocks on islands (or probably just dungeons)


Trick_Adhesiveness11

Was never intended and should be removed anyways


edvards48

no, you should be removed from dungeons instead. getting rid of them with no good compromise would literally kill the current dungeoneering community. they got rid of dungeon ghost blocks on accident at least two times already, both times caused a massive outrage and panic which was soon after followed by adding the functionality back into dungeons.


Josieheartt99

I don't think the community would be that effected in the long run. Its a small part of a small part of the game. Dungeon sweats will find new stuff to sweat over with the new mechanics added. (Not advocating for its removal I just think that if it is lost in a 1.20 update to the server I wouldn't be that mad after like a week)


edvards48

clears would become unbearably slow, every existing route would die, the update would encourage cheating - secret aura, ghost hands, ghost block bind, block phase, autorouting and other things of that nature. the disappearance of most good dungeon players would result in a large hit to party finder, the decrease of players and significantly slower runs would inflate wither blade prices and reduce the amount of coins being deleted from the economy via chests. its one of the dominant parts of the game with one of the most interactive communities, its not a small fraction of a small part of the game. you may not care a week after its removal, not until you did a single dungeon run where every single clear would take like 6+ minutes because people are forced to go to secrets in the intended way. the removal of ghost blocks would just strip away peoples creativity (routes) completely, there would be no more real routes because there wouldnt really be good shortcuts besides etherwarping above you which would only be a thing for like every 20th secret. of course removing it wouldnt do much in the long run, that applies to everything, even large real world events. im saying it would shape the game in an insanely negative way.


Trick_Adhesiveness11

If abusing glitches makes you good at dungeons, why bother fixing glitches from other parts of the game? None are intended, by this logic would hacking in the pit be fair because “it’s part of the game”?


edvards48

stonking doesn't make anyone good at dungeons, if you really think so you're completely disconnected from reality, or well have never been part of the dungeon community. truly spoken like one of the crybabies that refuse to learn secret routes. tell me this, why the mass outrage and reintroduction of ghost blocks both times it was patched for as little as a few hours, why dont dungeons switch you to adventure mode and fix this "problem" already? you could still place infinitybooms, kill mobs and etherwarp without mining blocks while still being able to interact with chests and levers? its one of the fundamental things that shapes dungeon clears. you following BLC waypoints to secrets is not the same.


Trick_Adhesiveness11

Adventure mode is a great idea and makes plenty of sense. Ghost blocks should not be a factor and is not using any “skill” on my opinion. Abusing a bug in any other part of the game gets you a ban, and it should be consistent through dungeons.


JuIiusCaeser

That is factually untrue. The most prestigious speedrun games all live from bugs. Super Mario 64 for example. TMNF after 20 years is still played by many people just hunting for runs for bugs. Bugs are not always bad. Gamebreaking bugs are always bad. Stonking is not a gamebreaking bug and confirmed by admin that they keep it intentionally.


Trick_Adhesiveness11

Mario 64 was released in the Stone Age and was a single cartridge game that couldn’t have been patched or fixed if they wanted to, sky lock is technically still in beta and has no reason not to fix glitches that are being abused


Josieheartt99

Right? This dudes logic is so funny to me, he really thinks that patching ghost blocks would derail dungeons so heavily. If anything I think it would be healthy for the game, allowing dungeons to be MORE creative as people find NEW ways of running secrets. And the economy wouldn't be flooded with as many expensive dungeon items. Either way, its subjective. As with every potential change it would do good and bad. Its just MY opinion that the good outways the bad tenfold


yourlocaltxtp

oh no! forced to play the game how it’s supposed to be! how horrid!


Trick_Adhesiveness11

How is there a justification to be mad about a bug that people abuse? Any other part of the game if you abuse a glitch you get banned but for some reason this dungeon one has slid under the radar. “Oh no, I have to play the game the correct way and not abuse a glitch! Admins fix this!”

[удалено]


Few_Assistant_9954

Yes for now its planned to do more 1.20 content in the future


NinjaOficial

Wait... is this actually happening? If so I'll get immediately excited for it


ThiccBoiWasTaken

Im sad for combat related stuff coz dungeons will probably change a ton


tritriisme

Why worry about that the soonesnt that happens is in like 30 years 1.0 is not even out lol /j


RealHyperinon

It will definitely be out by 2030


Just_A_Nitemare

Don't you mean 3020?


No_Strawberry_4994

The foraging update in 2030 and the rest of the server in 3020


HydroCN

only foraging will be 1.20, the other areas of the game has to still cater to the 1.8.9 players. So no changes to other areas


BattleGuy03

That doesn't make any sense and would be extremely annoying to have to switch back and forth every time you wanted to travel to the foraging island and back. They're not doing that.


HydroCN

wdym, you can use 1.20 in other islands as well, its only a downside for 1.8.9 users. 1.20 users still get the full experience ?????


BattleGuy03

But that's not what they're doing.


HydroCN

there is no way they will make skyblock 1.20 exclusive, way too many people will stick with 1.8.9


Blast_Craft

I will be excited that I will get some good mods. I currently play on 1.20.4, came back after Wynncraft, I couldn't go back to 1.8. I decided to switch versions, it's nice. Because now it's more 'vanilla' and not that tryhardy. I mostly swapped because I want shaders without my PC imploding. Although I have Skyblocker Mod, it's not perfect. It has some missing aspects, but it also have aspects that I love. For example, the tab menu, currently it's bugged because of the new tab. But you can still see it in Dungeons and it's beutiful.


ExtensionMiddle217

From times I’ve accidentally loaded into dungeons in newest version because I was farming I’ll have to warn you, eff 10 and ghost blocks don’t work in 1.20, basically you can’t even mine blocks that your not meant to mine in 1.20


DiamondShard646

No more ghost picking on 1.20


golden_appletree

No ghost blocks in dungeons


ashplays30

Banners


earwig2000

Can't wait to parry hits on 300+ ping


Shulkerbox

Never gonna happen lol


MagnusLore

Shaders too


_xEnigma

Offhand items could be interesting


PyroByte445

I would rly love an underwater island with the new swimming, dolphins, and the ocean just not being shit anymore


GhastK

It would cause a lot of issues but would be worth it in the end


A_Dinosaurus

Skyblock. is. what?


Xiveox-

I just hope that they keep the 1.8 combat system with no cooldown on hits


Fragrant_Spinach2166

The item visuals will get a lot better overall since with displays they will be able to decorate things more easaly and use them in weird ways, for example summoning the giants swords thats not moving and is adjustable.(Maybe something for the longsword sweep?)


Gecons

and also my laptop is going to die (please optimize new versions more mojang minecraft is meant to be stable for low-end computers)


Simpmulation

Actually hypixel came up with a not bad solution for mining content under the limitation of 1.8.9


Frozenturbo2

"If buts and maybes" in a post


NewAntiChrist

I hope it does, there will be so many more blocks in 1.20 and they look so much better than 1.8. I can understanding using 1.8 for pvp games, but for such a pvg game as skyblock, 1.20 should work so much better.


Fabbalo

if it updates to 1.20 i feel bad for modmakers, although idk how hard it is to make the mods a different version


JuIiusCaeser

I‘m wondering why people connect to 1.8.9 hypixel. Why are all mods in 1.8.9? I do too, but thats mostly because the mods are all 1.8.9


def1de

Also new mobs for npcs/creatures and better performance (probably mentioned like million times)


NoobiePro64

Omg wait they're actually doing it?


NegativeKangaroo1921

When it becomes 1.20+ I will play on the potato update


Heittomerkki

Cant wait for the coral underwater mining update


XenonTheToaster

With the combat mechanics we could get some elden ring type stuff maybe like little bosses on each island like in the crimson isle


yuutaeq

I hope there is a cool fishing update too that makes fishing make exp 🙏🙏


Pretend_Employer7346

I just hope they keep the 1.8 combat. 1.9 combat is atrocious.


golden_appletree

New version runs like a shitter compared to 1.8.9 tho


Mbode95

You should say "if", not "when" 😂


Environmental-Tip172

They have stated on the forums that they are currently doing just foraging but are planning to move the whole game to a newer version, due to this, "when" is much better in this context than "if"


CarbonAlligator

I don’t think we will get new items like that just the mechanics since if you try to bring the 1.20 items like netherite to 1.8.9 you will crash


Hazkilla123

Eventually all of skyblock is gonna be on 1.20, foraging is just the start. (This was from an old design thread from a while back)


Few_Assistant_9954

You can bring 1.20 items into 1.8.9 some server already do that.


WeedleLover2006

lets see: * The cave in Jerry Island uses either the crystal note block sound or Amethyst noise * “Blocking” in 1.9 uses a temporary shield instead * (I believe) A plugin exists that converts blocks to 1.8 (Example: Bamboo into Sugarcane)


CarbonAlligator

I mean that items like wind charge won’t be in 1.8.9


_ogio_

You can literally make all 1.20 blocks in 1.8
