Minecraft Skyblock: 5 best steps to progress

As Skyblock spawns the player on a small airborne land, blocks are the most important resource in this game mode. They are needed to expand and make room for players to work properly on their progression. They are used to make platforms connecting to other structures located in the sky.

A cobblestone generator can generate an infinite number of cobblestone blocks for the player. It is quite easy to make, and the materials required are present within every Skyblock chest.

The congested nature of Skyblock spawn makes it essential that the player expands their island and makes some platforms, open areas, and houses to escape or gain room to fight mobs during the night. Expanding gives a lot of options to the player in terms of traversing the map and storage.

Water is one of the most important resources in Skyblock. It is needed to make farms and can also be used to feather a player’s fall from higher platforms to lower ones in Minecraft. It is also one of the easiest things to build in the game.

All it requires is a 3x1 rectangle with water filled in it. Taking water from only the middle block will ensure the water never depletes.

2) Make a platform to spawn mobs or a mob spawner

Players should make a platform away from their base of operations and use it to spawn mobs. Hostile mobs drop many useful items, which can be essential in any game mode of Minecraft. Examples include bows, string, arrows, bonemeal, etc.

Also, killing mobs gives the player experience, which can be used to enchant gear and books. A better idea would be to build a mob farm, the most profitable of which is a skeleton spawner, which gives a fair amount of experience points and a plethora of bows and arrows.
