Starting on an island with nothing under you

Skyblock hands you a small floating island, a tree, and a chest with a lava bucket and ice in it. Everything after that comes out of a cobblestone generator and careful trades. The original map was a challenge you finished; on a server the loop is bigger, with island levels, an island leaderboard and a race against everyone else on it.

Server skyblock has drifted a long way from that map. Most now include island upgrades, minions or spawners that farm while you are offline, custom enchants, and a player market where cobblestone is worthless and mob drops are the real currency. That is fun, but it also means progression is tuned around how much you play — or how much you spend.

Before you pick one, check the island team size, whether islands reset each season, and how the shop prices sell-back items. A server where selling wheat pays better than a mob farm is a server whose economy will be flat within a fortnight. Asking in Discord whether the top islands are free-to-play usually gets an honest answer.

Where 1.20 servers sit now

Trails & Tales was the archaeology update: brushes, suspicious sand and gravel, and pottery sherds you assemble into decorated pots. It also added cherry groves, camels, the sniffer, bamboo and cherry wood sets, hanging signs, the chiselled bookshelf and armour trims, which together gave builders more to work with than any release since the Nether Update.

Two of its point releases mattered more to owners than the headline features. 1.20.2 changed how clients negotiate a connection, and 1.20.5 replaced item NBT with data components, which broke a great many plugins and forced a long wave of updates. Servers that parked on 1.20.4 usually did it for exactly that reason.

Plenty of servers still run 1.20 because their plugin stack works and their players do not mind. Expect something stable and well tested, with no trial chambers, no crafter and no mace. Check whether newer clients are allowed in through ViaVersion before you go and add an old profile to your launcher.
