Q&A for How to Play SkyBlock in Minecraft

Use your sneak key (default: left shift key) to avoid accidentally falling off the edge. Or build fences or put up blocks along your island's edges.

The lava on one island can be combined with water to make a portal. The lava from the cobble generator can be used with wood to burn a way to the portal.

Yes. You can build to other islands. You cannot build to the mainland, however; this is against the rules.

You start with one bucket that your lava comes in. You can also get iron sometimes from killing zombies and eventually form the iron into a farm.

Yes, you can. If you look on the internet, you may be able to find a guide on how to make a Skyblock map.

You can get XP by fishing, killing mobs, breeding animals (assuming you manage to get some), and cooking stuff (including cobblestone, raw wood and meat).

No, unless you don't have Minecraft, in which case you need to buy Minecraft.

It depends which server you're playing on. You could make your own map too.

If tree saplings falls off the edge, there's no way to retrieve them. You can get more by continuing to break the leaves, but chances vary. Without saplings, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to continue. The best way to avoid something like this from happening is to go directly under the leaves. If the leaves are off of the SkyBlock, build with dirt or some other material like cobblestone to get there.

It depends on the server, but would be considered cheating the system.

Go to Minecraft's official website (Mojang) and select the Minecraft version you wish to purchase. Then, you can run the Installer.

Make an infinite map.

You can, but you must make your own map.

It depends on the server you're on, but in most cases you'll die.

Yes, but only by making your own map.

No, this in not a spawnable object.

Like with all hostile mobs, you should grab out a sword (or bow and arrow) and armor. However, for the enderman, only a sword is preferred since they'd teleport before the arrow hits them. Remember that water you still have? Hop into it and wait for the enderman, because water is its weakness.

It's impossible on SkyBlock. To get vines you need jungle trees, so the only way to get them is if you have a jungle tree sapling or vines itself in the starting chest.

Type /island after you have spawned and you will re-spawn on the island.

The traditional sky block is supposed to start you with two blocks of ice, not a bucket of water.

Minecraft may be blocked by the school network, or you may have the educational version.

Depending on the server, it's most likely that you will lose your items, unless the "keep inventory" command is activated.

There are grass blocks. You have to keep the dirt from the original island.

There should be sand in the middle of your island, but otherwise, that's all you get.

Ice turns into water when you break it.

Yes. There are some seeds/maps that you can download, so it's possible to play Skyblock in single player mode.

There is no texture pack used in these photos. It is the default texture for minecraft.

Use blocks to get there. You may want to protect yourself, as building bridges leaves you open as a target.

There should be passive mob eggs in the starting chest, or you can take eggs out of creative.

No, Minecraft for mobile devices is the Pocket/Bedrock edition of the game. It isn't compatible with the Java Edition currently, however it is compatible with the Windows 10 Edition.
