With the launch of the new Skyblock season, ManaCube now fully supports version 1.21+, bringing enhanced gameplay and improvements to both existing and new features. Alongside these updates, players are welcomed by a stunning, new spawn designed for both beauty and functionality.
¶ Build Mode
Build Mode is a new and easier way to build and manage your island! First being introduced with the KitPvP Player Arenas, it is now making its appearance as a new core feature on Skyblock. To access this mode type /buildmode, /bm for short. You are required to be an island member to be able to use build mode on that island.
To enter
/buildmodeyou do not require an empty inventory. Your survival and creative inventories will be separately saved.
By entering build mode, you will be put into creative mode on your island, gaining access to a wide variety of blocks, as well as crops. With the introduction of version 1.21, players can now enjoy a wider variety of new blocks and items, expanding their creative and gameplay possibilities. When placing blocks and crops you will be automatically charged the prices in /shop.
¶ Spawner Stacking
Spawners can stack up to a maximum of 64 per chunk. This means that if you place a spawner then right click with the same spawner type anywhere in that chunk, it will stack onto the one that has already been placed!
Mobs will spawn in a stack equaling the amount of spawners placed multiplied by 2.75. So a stack of 64 spawners will spawn 176 mobs at a time. Mobs may continue to stack until there are 1000 in the stack. If you have enough spawners, that mob type will stack up to a total of 20,000 before creating a new stack.
¶ Redstone Limit
The server has a redstone limit to reduce the amount of lag caused by it. You may only place 10 Pistons Per chunk. Keep in mind that avoiding this limit is punishable. This also includes building flying machines to tend to farms.
Tip: You may view chunk borders by pressing f3 + g.
¶ ManaLock
You may lock chests and doors to prevent players from interacting with your private belongings. In order to lock a chest, simply right click on the desired with a sign - the same applies to doors. Do not crouch when attempting to lock an object otherwise the lock will not apply.
You may also give other players permissions to access your locked chest by right-clicking on the lock sign then typing /lock <Line#> <username>.
¶ Spawner Crafting
To create a spawner, you'll need a total of 8 spawner fragments and 1 spawner core. These essential components can be obtained in a few different ways. You can collect them by defeating custom monsters and powerful bosses, each of which has a chance to drop fragments or cores. Alternatively, if battling isn't your style or you’re looking to speed up the process, you can trade with other players to acquire the materials you need. Once you have all the required pieces, you’ll be able to craft your very own spawner using a crafting table.
Spawners available to craft:
| Pig | Chicken | Sheep | Cow |
| Zombie | Skeleton | Creeper | Spider |
| Blaze | Piglin | Villager | Iron Golem |
