Hello Blaze Skyblockers!
Blaze Skyblock has run for over 10 seasons of it's Skyblock Greek now and in that time we've learned a whole lot about the community, the player base as well as what it is to run an entertaining and fun server for everyone to enjoy. You may have noticed over the past few months that Skyblock has gradually been moving towards a much less competitive game-play style.
For us this started many months ago with the belief that especially when money is on the line it causes some less desirable behaviour in the community as well as causes not so competitive players to have less fun overall due to the toxicity of it all. The current Skyblock season is at around the halfway point now and season 11 will still run its course as planned and promised, but as for the future. Blaze will be innovating new systems for players to have fun playing the Skyblock that they love and striving to better themselves without the toxicity and without causing distress for anyone.
Blaze will cease all in-game -> real life payouts on the 26th of June 2021 which is the final step for us in terms of transitioning to a more enjoyable, casual experience with many unique and loved features that we can easily build upon; especially the already huge part that PvE plays in our game-play compared to PvP and competition.
We hope that all of you understand this decision and the thought process behind it. It has been a long journey with skyblock but I assure you we have big plans for the summer which is nearly upon us and no shortage of ideas to diversify, improve and excel in a gamemode that so many love
Keep an eye on discord.gg/blaze for more updates regarding this and how to get involved with many many upcoming events and giveaways!

Brand new /warp PvP and /warp PvE
We have had the same pvp and pve arena since the concept was first introduced to blaze skyblock and while it was a place to fight mobs and other players decently, we thought we would take it to a whole new level and get the whole thing remade. As you can see with the pictures below we aren't...

Today we're proud to announce our newest Jurassic Survival Map which will be releasing the 20th of March. This comes with a number of economy changes, a new spawn and many improvements over the previous map!
Why are you resetting? We love the current map.
Jurassic last reset on the 27th June 2020 - Almost ten months ago! That's ten months of playing on the same world. Not only does it get boring playing on the same world for so long, but the economy of Survival is destroyed beyond repair. We believe that this was enough to warrant a reset on its own, however we also have to consider 1.17's release. We previously said that our next reset would be on 1.17's release, but with the last reset being 10 months ago and with 1.17 looking to be viable to run on servers in a minimum of 6-7 months, we have decided in the end to cut the map short to run a proper 1.16.5 map for 6-7 months.
There is also a more technical side of things when it comes to Survival, which I have left in a spoiler below for anybody interested:
There is also a plethora of other reasons for this reset from a Development point of view: the three main ones being Entities, Codebases and 1.17 - which I will be going over briefly in this spoiler.
Survival was not developed by Myself and the current Development team. Even when we reset back in June, it still used a proportionally large amount of the old codebase (minus a few things physically blocking new features) which we have phased out over time (for example, old Crate Keys was not written by us, so it was re-written a few months ago to phase them out). However, this comes with many complications with having to support older infrastructure and newer infrastructure simultaneously, which as a team we cannot handle. While Skyblock has had the old infrastructure phased out completely - being replaced with a brand new custom core built for our needs, Survival has remained on the same base which existed in March last year and has been stuck on that.
Another issue with the current Survival setup is it was written for 1.15.2 - while it has mostly been updated there are some developmental gaps which are now being filled with this reset. The World (which is around about 150GB in size) caused us huge issues when moving to 1.16.1, and we then had a corruption scare (which would've resulted in over a days downtime) when moving to 1.16.5 earlier in the year for better optimizations. This reset means 1.15.2 code no longer exists, and the server is completely ready for a 1.16.5 map. With this, we have implemented "BlazeCommons" (which is already on Survival, just to a lesser extent) which houses a lot of our code in one plugin rather than multiple (Survivals new Map now has decreased in plugin count by around 20).
However, our largest issue in regards to Survival is Entities and Spawners. This...

ISLAND TOP COMPETITION
Skyblock season 10 will be moving to having an 8 week length map rather than 6 weeks, meaning 7 payouts instead of 5. We felt that with community support we have enough features to keep people going for the extended period and we think it will turn out nicely for everyone.
We decided to add MCMMO top to our payouts this season. One payout in week 4 and 1 in the final payout week of the season. You can view this by doing /mctop.

The most superior tag by far though is the completely custom SeasonX tag which implements never before seen colours into minecraft with a vibrant pink and purple:

Brand new Skyblock starter islands for an updated experience!
These brand new island's designed and completed by our own build team will surely set you right for the coming season, with a lovely tree house, some small islands split by beautiful bridges as well as a large japanese pagoda serving as a donator exclusive island!

Inventory Pets Rework
We absolutely adored the previous inventory pets. It was a neat idea for a slight crossover between pixel and vanilla and there were some unique and cool abilities offered. In season 9 we have turned that up to 11 offering you DOUBLE the amount of pets as last season with 22 wildly differing pokemon themed pets of all rarities and abilities ranging from Common, Uncommon, Rare and even legendary varieties. ALL of the available pets level to a max of level 100 and their abilities and benefits...
