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.
@delsolsi213
no worries, your not the first and probably not the last either.
About the withers I have to try some more testing but that will be tomorrow. So far it seems I cant reproduce it. It could be a mc1.8 issue as I test in mc1.10.2.
@MacMasterMac
I think if you click the link in your Github post you might open a whole new world were you can download versions.
It even specifies for which MC version you want.
Uhm, I don't know where else to write this... But how do I download builds from github?
@dutchy1001
derp, i feel stupid now, i should've tried that config option hahahahah well that just leaves the withers now.
@delsolsi213
In your uSkyblock config have you set the nether enabled true or false?
Due to your setup our nether feature will automatic be disabled, this because of the distance/protectionRange setting.
If in the config this is still enabled you might need to set it to false as it still could create regions in the WorldGuard folder for the nether world. In your WorldGuard/worlds folder you will find the skyworld_nether region file, remove this (backup at first) and your players should be able to use the nether again.
As for the wither issue, there isn't a permission to allow/disallow the spawning of them, atleast not from us. I dont think Group Manager could be the issue but I do use PEX.
@dutchy1001
The wither and nether mobs is a different issue tho, in the nether using a normal nether world non op players cant hurt pigman or other mobs like sheeps pigs normal zombies etc, as for withers the issue is they despawn in my island world, the only place i can normaly spawn it is in my island as it doesnt despawn, i tested this with just the plugins listed below in the /usb version and essentials+ group manager. Maybe GM is the issue? And if its permissions related whats the permission to allow players to spawn withers on their islands and hit mobs in the nether?
@delsolsi213
I think something else must be blocking this for you as I can kill the wither on our test server in survival mode and creative mode.
I'm not sure if the nether has to be enabled (which is at the test server) but I will find that out later and let you know.
Tested with an alt account which has no perms besides the default usb perms and still can damage the wither.
@dutchy1001
Hey i found an anooying bug and is tested that its an issue with permissions, So im using the old method of the nether using multiverse instead of player nether islands but my players cant hurt any mobs in the nether, after some time debugging to find the cause i found that its uskyblock causing it, I gave my mod this permission usb.mod.bypassprotection and it allows them to hurt mobs inside my nether world but if i give this to all players they will be able to grief other islands by killing their mobs.
Also i cant seem to spawn withers on any other islands but mine, if i go to another player island this happens.
And this is on my island
Plugin version
Server version:
EDIT: Forgot to mention that players cant spawn withers on their own islands, it seems that my island is the only one that can spawn them, theres no worldguard flag that i set to deny their spawns, the config has monsters, animals and npc limits disabled, so theres no limits, players can have as many entities as they want in their islands as i have that disabled.
Investigates a bit more about the wither issue and it seems that if you spawn it above y level 155 or something like that it spawns, but as soon as it goes below it despawns also if you spawn him above 155 y level once it completely spawns and you punch it it despawns.
@Annowins
You already made this request on Github so why here again??
If you read what our main developer added to your post then you know the answer.
This is suggestion,
I was wondering if you could add in the config that it selects one of the schematics that there is to it and disable the Island Restart GUI. So that players can get a random island and not select them so the game get more dynamic.
I hope you can add that, that would make the plugin just perfect for me :D

@martyHR
Many thank you for the translation. The previous cs.po has been created by someone else and unfortunately he never updated or finished the file completely.
I will change this to cs.po and remove the other one as we only need 1 translation of each language (except for the en_GB.po because I can lol).
Your translation will go through a small test (to check for program erros only) and then added if all goes well.
Again, many thanks
@Dutchy1001:
Hi, we are sending you complete translation to Czech. We named it cz.po, correct should be cs.po, but „cs“ its in your plugin, but your translation it is far for complete, so it will be better use our translation.
http://pastebin.com/ENGwbSKU
PS: btw in /is menu in warp we have czech translation and still we have in game english. Do you know where is problem?
@dutchy1001
Ok! Thank you for the quick response.
@dahbawz
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I get some issue's too when trying to add them as a requirement.
I will get back to you when I have a format that works.
@NicksTheBoss
We have moved to Java 8 in the later updates.
@dutchy1001
Oke thats clear for a player to get one indeed. but how to make this in a challange?
http://pastebin.com/0HfX5HxR
If they have both potions it still says they cant complete it and still need both Items.
@dahbawz
the format has changed with many data value's for lots of items. In your example you give you need to change it to:
There are many webpages that will explain this so for me to do this will be more confusing then guide you to some of those.
A few examples are:
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Potion
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/241454/how-do-i-get-nausea-and-hunger-potions
With the next link you can create commands which is very handy. https://www.digminecraft.com/generators/give_potion.php
You need to alter it to the format you see below (remove the / and
change @p to {player} minecraft:)
This can only be given through the command option as you see above.
You can use op: or console: both will work, but 1 alerts in chat while the other doesn't.
Hi Dutchy1001,
The challenges file is not reading potions id.
As example. if u have a challenge, get a weakness potion, and u put in in the challenges like this: requiredItems: '373:8200:1 it does recognize it as a weakness potion,
But if you brew the potion and try to complete the challenge is still says you are that one potion short.
@NicksTheBoss
9 out of 10 issue's are starting with old or wrong depended plugins, this is the obvious way for me to start fixing the issue's.
If that doesn't help we go deeper into it to sort things and our main developer will be included then who can look more into the coding issue's.
I'm not sure the Java has been updated between v2.6.4 and v2.7.x but I will find this out in the next few days.
Regarding to the issue you have with the UUID, there isn't much we can do if you cant update to a newer version.
@dutchy1001
Disabling cxSkyblock won't fix uSkyblock. The only reason cxSkyblock is failing to load is because uSkyblock is a required dependency that isn't loading successfully. I honestly doubt that this issue has to deal with dependencies such as WE and WG not being updated. I read the error and looked it up (what I honestly should have done from the start because it would save me a lot of time) and it means that the plugins compiled java version is not compatible with the servers java version. uSkyblock not working had nothing to do with dependencies and I knew that the whole time lol. But I guess, thanks for helping. I'll just stick to an old version and use the two commands you provided to fix players islands as I can't really update my java on the server.
Best Regards, Nick.
