Iridium Skyblock is a Skyblock plugin for Paper, Purpur and Spigot, built by IridiumDevelopment. It runs on the host only, so players join with a normal install and add nothing. Pick it when you want a complete island mode with a shop, missions and a bank working from the first start.
Server software and versions
- Paper, Purpur and Spigot: Minecraft 1.13 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What the plugin adds
Skyblock began in 2011 as a challenge map with one tree, a chest and a small cube of dirt. This plugin turns that idea into a persistent mode with teams and an economy.
- A fully customizable GUI that is ready the moment the plugin loads.
- A shop with buy and sell prices that can run commands on purchase.
- Tiered missions with tracking that updates automatically.
- A bank that holds several currencies plus EXP storage.
- A ranking board ordered by island experience or block value.
- Team play with permission management and a shared island bank.
- Boosters for temporary gains and upgrades for lasting ones.
- A border around every island, with a colour each player can change.
- Islands in all three dimensions, each with configurable schematics.
- SQLite support.
Installation
- 1.Get the plugin file from the Modrinth page.
- 2.Place it in the plugins folder of your Paper, Purpur or Spigot host.
- 3.Restart the host, then check the wiki for documentation.
