GREEK SKYBLOCK: MAP 8

The management team at Blaze Gaming Vanilla is excited to announce the launch of Skyblock S8. This map is mostly a continuation from S7 with dozens of bug fixes and a few smaller features to keep you guys entertained. Skyblock S8 will be releasing on Sunday, 20th December @ 2PM EST.

We have decided to release Skyblock S8 a week early as very few of the Vanilla staff will be available around the time of christmas. We have instead opted to release a week early and provide Skyblock's reset alongside Prison and Pixelmon Aqua and Inferno this weekend.

Santa is coming to Skyblock!

We've arranged with Santa to make daily occurrences throughout the rest of December to give out gifts in spawn! Every so often, Santa may spawn (with an in-game broadcast) and drop gifts at spawn - Watch out in-game for these small gift giveaways!

With this, on the leadup to Christmas we have added an Advent Calendar for you guys' to count down the days till christmas. Each day, you will be able to get a new hidden reward without knowing what's inside! Make sure to check back every day to open it!





Spawners are making a comeback!

We have significantly buffed the price of mob drops on the server which are obtainable via Spawners. These include: Rotten Flesh, Bones, String, Arrows, Leather, Beef and Porkchops. This combined with...

Greetings Pokeplayers!

Our team over at Blaze Pixelmon have been working at a lightning speed to get our December 2020 Wipe ready for all to enjoy. With everyone on the team chipping in from initial ideas back in July to the finished product now in December, dozens of people have been working hard on this new era of Blaze Pixelmon.

This thread has a lot of content in it regarding our other servers, Terra and Storm, and what is happening to those respectively. Stay tuned for all the newest stuff coming to Blaze Pixelmon!

The Future of Terra and Storm

The Management Team has decided to remove Terra and Storm from Blaze permanently to allow us to give more focus to our Inferno and Aqua realms. This will mean that more updates can concisely take place on each server on a more regular basis and allow us to provide better content in general. After the rapid expansion needed due to the initial (almost) global Lockdown we no longer need four servers operating simultaneously to handle our player count. At this current point we have no plans to open new pixelmon realms unless there is a sudden surge in players.

Donator Ranks will be transferred to Inferno and Aqua as follows:

• Terra Ranks --> Inferno
• Storm Ranks --> Aqua

Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of ranks which are being merged we will not be giving the opportunity to choose which server your rank goes to. Please only open tickets on our discord if your rank is missing.

Some Examples where tickets will be needed:

• If you have ranks on both servers you will need to open a ticket and have a rank upgrade added for the difference.
• If you have Supreme on both "Terra" and "Inferno" we will need to manually apply Supreme on Aqua
• If you have Supreme on "Terra" and "Inferno" and "Aqua" you will receive the difference in store credit
• If you have Supreme on "Terra" and "Inferno" and "Aqua" and "Storm" you will receive the equivalent of two Supreme ranks in store credit

We'd like to thank the Terra and Storm communities for their continued support over the last ~270 days of the servers existing. We hope you enjoy the more frequent updates which you've missed out on since Inferno and Aqua last reset!

RESET INFORMATION

Inferno and Aqua will be releasing on Friday, 18th December @ 3PM EST.

For us to be able to have enough time to merge our infrastructures of servers together both Terra and Storm will be closing at 5PM EST on Thursday 17th December. We will be hosting numerous "drop parties" and legend giveaways on the leadup to the release after this thread has been posted on all four of our realms.

MAP SIZES:

• Playerworld - 30,000 x 30,000
• Nether - 10,000 x 10,000
• End - 5,000 x 5,000
• Ultraspace - 7,500...

EGYPT: MAP 2
​

After our first Prison Map on Blaze Gaming we're excited to announce the release of our Second Map 2. This is mostly a continuation of our current feature set with major bug fixes.

Egyptian Prison will be releasing on the 19th December @ 2PM EST.

CELL TOP​

Similarly to Skyblock, we will be hosting a map-ly "TOP" Competition - in this case, in a Cell! Most of you already saw cells on the beta and this is their primary use on the server.

Cell TOP will be paid out on a weekly basis on the following dates:

Payout Dates

• 26/12/2020 --> Cell TOP Payout 1
• 2/01/2021 --> Cell TOP Payout 2
• 9/01/2021 --> Cell TOP Payout 3

Introducing the newest Backpack System

We had a (lot of) issues with the previous backpack system and we have had a brand new system coded from scratch to fix all of the previous issues. It has a few differences but is very similar to the old one!

Unlike our previous backpacks, which were capped at around 3500 items, these have a (theoretically) unlimited size unlike the previous previous backpacks. Rather than having the backpacks right-clickable to be able to see the contents, they instead just have a counter in the lore.

How do you empty these backpacks? Simply right-click the sell NPC and they will sell automagically! Collect upgrade tokens in order to get your backpacks to larger sizes.


Introducing Prestige Mobs

Prestige Mobs have been added to prestiges 15+ as a new challenge to gain money, gear and worth blocks. By defeating a number of different mobs in our brand-new arena built by Stelios and their team, it brings a whole new perspective on ranking up!

New Skyblock Core

Since Skyblock Season 2, we have been running the same Skyblock Core which has served us pretty well. However, it has many problems including an imperfect Island TOP calculation system and many other things annoying for us to moderate the server.

At the beginning of Season 5, we had one of our developers work on a fully-custom 1.16 Competitive Skyblock Core. Unlike any other, this one is the only one like this in existence and will not be found anywhere (as it is based off 1.8 competitive skyblock server cores). It is constructed using a library used on Factions Servers to ensure it has top-notch code and is lag free. Myself and @Terminated have made numerous revisions, tweaks and converted all of GreekSB's custom plugins which depended on our old Core to our new core. After dozens of hours we have implemented every core feature across to ensure this brings the smoothest gameplay possible.

Unfortunately, a few features were lost in this migration (block count menu per-island and crop growth multipliers) - We decided not to add these back to make...
