uSkyBlock
What is uSkyblock
uSkyblock is a surviving game that transport you to a small island in mid-air. You need to try and survive with the minimum resources.
You can with the few given items create a cobblestone generator which you can then use to expand your island.
By doing the challenges (command /challenges or /c) you can earn Items, Money, XP and Special permissions. Some of these items you earn are needed to complete the next challenges.
You can play alone or you can invite your friends (/is invite [playername])to build together on your island.
You can set a warp (/is warp [playername] to show off what you have done on your island. This can be turned on or off at the GUI.
You can set your own biome (/is biome [biomename]).
In Talabrek's version there were a lot of questions about the Chest and Ender_Chest in the GUI. This feature is now made optional and can be removed if needed. However I have made an example set (See below the Third Party Plugins) to use to the full extent.

Donations
As there were many questions asked how to donate for our work and time we always said that we are doing this for the community. We, R4zorax and myself (dutchy1001) do this as a hobby and enjoy the time spent on it. R4zorax as the main developer likes coding and solving of the issues you guys and gals find, my contribution is to answer most of you and troubleshoot through your config's, permissions and sometimes joining your servers to see at first hand what goes wrong and help you fix them. I also maintain the uSkyblock server were the latest version is tested.
Since the plugin is free, and the source-code is open-source, we see no need to further our own cause. But! We'd like to use this opportunity to raise money for charities.
So here we go, we have setup a page were you guys and gals can donate on our behalf.
This website will do all the work for us to donate to a good cause.
We've set the bar to £500 and when this is accomplished we will put up a POLL for the next £500 that way you all can have a say too.
To donate visit JustGiving
We also would like to thank you all for the many positive reactions we have received since we took over from Talabrek. Without you all we wouldn't be were we are now, so thank you too.
Last note:
We can not support Minecraft v1.7.xx anymore as there are to many differences between those versions. Cauldron is not supported, for help ask on their forums.
2.7.0, the challenges.yml files was 19 that's all i remember, i didn't save the old thing, i know uSkyBlock went under maintenance for a hour converting uuid Edit: 2.7.0SNAPSHOT 2.6.6-161-g4db6355-4db635-dev we also still had /dev command
@Joapple
from what version to what are you updating?
We didn't reset the map, not yet, but we're having quite some issues, like right now /is trust return an internal error occured, but /is trust <name> do works... Our console is getting spammed with errors in listeners cannot pass EntityMoveEvent, PlayerInteractEvent, PlayerMoveEvent...
@Joapple
If you reset the whole skyblock server you might be better off resetting the challenges, makes it fair to everyone and to new players.
We have made many changes to the challenges in the last few releases.
The number you see is the times a challenge is completed, this should indeed not be a negative number.
I will make an issue about this on our github.
Hello Again, We updated to the last version today since our server broke a lot, now in the challenges system, if you complete a challenges it add a number to the "shown" item in the /c menu. Is there a way to disable that ? Since we didn't reset everyone's challenges, some players got negatives numbers over that.. Or we really need to reset them ?
Thanks in advance!

You need to look the opposite way. Distance is always bigger or equal as the protectionRange. If you make protectionRange bigger then the distance, islands will have an overlapping region which will then cause many problems.
If you want to make use of our nether feature then both value's need to be able to be divided by 32.
So in your example I would make distance 160 (32x5) and the protectionRange 128 (32x4)
If you dont want a gap between island (the protecions build in should be enough to keep players from eachother island) then make both 160 or 128.
If you dont want to make use of our nether feature then the distance and protectionRange can be any value aslong protectionRange is not bigger then the distance (set config nether option to false then).
What is the best way for distance and protectionrange? Like use 128 by 128 (I think exactly 8 chunks by 8 chunks) and use 150 blocks protectionrange?
Or should I just use 150 by 150 and protectionrange is 200?
I want to use 100+ blocks for 1 island
@zoredache
Both value's need to be dividable by 32. It is not advisable to change those value's after an island is created on the server. Most likely it will cause bigger issue's. The usb config seems to be set to true for the nether, hense the lava lake. When you don't use our nether feature you can reset the nether at any time but make sure the config option is then set to false.
When our Nether feature was introduced we did say that that was the time to reset the server if you wanted to make use of this.
So I have a server that we have been updating that I think started as v2.2. We have
distance: 150
andprotectionRange: 105
currently.Our nether is a bit messed up. For older islands we had a regular nether, for newer islands there is just a big lava lake. I was going to try resetting our nether so that they all used the new generator.
I deleted the nether and restarted and I get the below. I even tried adjusting the protectionRange to 128. Does the 'distance' value also need to be chunk divisible by 32? Is there no way to fix things that doesn't require the main skyblock world?
@Joapple
Hi.
Yes - when we introduced nether, we needed a way to "align" islands on chunk-borders. To do that, we needed to interpret the radius (protectionRange) a bit differently. That is why we now have 2 sides being 1 block smaller than the other two (chunk-size is 16, an even number, which cannot adhere to a strict-radii).
Depending on whether your protectionRange = distance, you should be able to use a protectionRange of 102 - without problems for your current islands (no reset required).
Why do you require the bedrock to be in the center? We do not require this, but the schematics will be pasted from the origin of the copy operation - meaning, if you want the bedrock to be "centered" on the island, make sure you create the schematic standing on the same X,Z coordinate as the bedrock.
Hope this answers your questions.
Hi, I used to have island 101x101 was working fine. (We don't use the nether, we have a shared nether) An update broke that, now we need to have island 102x102, is that something that could be done like having protection 32 west, 31north, 31south 32 est to fix that ? Or we're doing something wrong in my config ? Every time i set it to 101x101 it autoset to 102x102... So our schematics is currently broken, we don't want to do a map reset yet. Thanks in advance !
Edit: We need to have the bedrock centered, which doesn't work anymore
Nevermind, I did a plugin request and someone made it for me now it's perfect :D http://prntscr.com/cmoji7
@MacMasterMac
That is depending on the placeholder API you use.
In our code we use truncation (correct me is it's called different)to display only upto 2 digets after the dot, the placeholders don't have this option (would be nice if that was possible) and it's not up to us then.
Ehm, not sure if this is your work but any idea how to change this? (Level=uSB level) http://prntscr.com/cm54e1
How can I make it like Level 53.9? It's on everyscoreboard, even the paid one ;p
Ignore that last part - Figured it out :)
Alright sweet that was the issue - I cant seem to get the placeholders to work with deluxechat, I don't know if I'm doing the right ones- I've tried %uskyblock_level% and {uskyblock_level}
Neither work
@FrostedGH
Like I said, it has to do with the Multiverse.
When asked for the versions I'm expecting that you check the versions (when /usb version doesn't work) and give me the right details. Clearly you haven't done that.
Your log indicates that you still use version 2.4 from Multiverse.
The installation page does say Multiverse versions above 2.5.
In general:
These kind of issue's are so easy to avoid if server maintainers just read the pages to install a plugin. It's wasting time.

@dutchy1001
I would have done that, but it doesn't give any response, Just like every other command in the plugin
@FrostedGH
The output from /usb version gives a lot more info then just what you posted, make a screen shot of it or post a full startup log would be better.
In your log I can see it's a Multiverse issue but due to the way you give the info it's still hard to tell what goes wrong. A startup log will be the best for me.
