Hello y'all!
SkyBlock v0.3.7 introduces numerous quality-of-life improvements, bunch of new achievements, bug fixes, and some significant performance improvements. In this article we'll also talk about Bazaar, the most wanted update in SkyBlock's history!
New Achievements
There are 19 new achievements added to the game, including 6 secret ones! 2 of them are general achievements and the rest of them are SkyBlock achievements.This batch of achievements have some interesting ones. Some of them may require you to talk from the bottom of your heart...
So here we go, the hunt begins once again!
Achievement Announcements
Unlocking an achievement now announces it in your current lobby, just like rare drops.The announcement only gets sent if your achievement privacy (/settings -> General Settings) is set to public.
For secret achievements, only players who have already unlocked the achievement can see the unlocked achievement's name in the announcement.
More Changes in SkyBlock
Added "A Day in The Village" tutorial quest.- This tutorial quest was removed while moving to Skyline Village. It is now re-added with some changes.
- Since it's a tutorial quest, it'll be automatically added to everyone who've already completed "The Beginning" quest. Sometimes having thousands of hours of playtime doesn't save you from doing the tutorial quest.
Added an animated title message when a rare drop is dropped.
/clear command now lists the items that are going to be deleted before confirmation.
Tuber Staff's ability has been tweaked:- Cooldown:
0.3s-> 0.8s - Mana usage:
25-> 30
- Cooldown:
Golden Feather Boots' ability now gets disabled if the player is sneaking.- This adds the option for players to be able to freely fall while having Golden Feather Boots. We're looking for further feedback on this change.
Added the remaining time for the end of the combat tag to the "You cannot do that while in combat" message.
Fixed an issue that caused Edible Mace's damage reduction effect to not work properly.- Please note that this effect only works on normal damage and not on True Damage, which means the extra True Damage of Fenrir Packmaster cannot be reduced by it.
Fixed Emerald Blade's Curse of Greed not working properly.
Fixed an issue caused items in the output slot of the furnaces could not be taken.
Fixed an issue that caused the damage multipliers of Tuxedos to not work properly.
Thunderlord enchantment's lightning bolt is now only visible to the player who wields the sword, just like the Thunderbolt Enchantment.
Placing Animal/Monster Repelling Candle now displays a message to let the player know about how many furnitures they have on their island.
Atoned Helmet is now an Undead Armor piece.
You can now view the item descriptions in the Slayer Boss Drops UI by clicking on the items.
Fixed multiple legendary pets showing up in Traveling Zoo.
Cactus now deals true damage.
Right clicking on Pumpkin or Melon stems now shows a different message from crops.
Crafting an Axe of the Shredded will now retain enchantments from the Reaper Falchion used in the recipe.

Fixed the title of Guide NPC displaying wrongly.
Giant Killer enchantment's description now shows the number in the correct format depending on the language.
Fixed Ocelot Pet's Tree Essence passive working on all blocks, even if they were placed by a player. It should now only work on naturally generated woods.- You now cannot place cactus or sugar cane above the ones placed by minions.
- Fixed some item's name being shown as "null" in enchantment table.
/coopprune now updates the item names while giving items.
Soul soils can now be broken normally.
Players can no longer pick up items just before connecting to a server after their inventories are saved. This should fix the issue where rare item loss could occur.
Enchanted Bone and Enchanted Rotten Flesh's rarities are changed to Uncommon from Common.
Added French and German to the detected languages in the initial setup, this info is gathered from the client's language.
Prevented placing saddles on pigs in the public islands.
Fixed the ability name of Wand of Atonement and Wand of Restoration being displayed wrongly.
Fixed an issue where after using /clearstash, the server would keep telling you that you have items to pick up until you change servers.- Fixed some item descriptions and translations in various languages.
Changes in General Network & Main Lobby
Added /friend alias to the /friends command.
Purple Suit collectable, which could be obtained from Crystal Capsules but not listed in the collectables menu, can now be selected in the main lobby.
Fixed several memory leak issues, this reduces random server crashes that happen occasionally.
Fixed an issue where disconnecting from a downstream server causes a lag spike and sometimes (rarely) freezing indefinitely and crashing it.- Fixed an issue which caused the initial setup's last stage to repeat until the player reconnects.
- This was causing confusion if there isn’t an available server after initial setup. Additionally, it now displays an error message in chat.
/clear command can no longer be used in the main lobby.
Major Backend Changes & Improvements
We’ve made great progress migrating Nukkit’s old packet system to the CloudburstMC Protocol, with 80 more packets successfully updated. This change has already made working with protocol updates and new versions of Minecraft much easier. Right now, both systems are running, but with only 18 packets left, we’re almost done with the migration.In English, please?
Once these changes are fully done, updating the server to new Minecraft versions will be much simpler and easier for us. We will also be able to add new Minecraft version contents to the server easily. Beyond that, we’re planning to add multi-version support so we can handle newer Minecraft updates without any downtime or maintenance and players can join the server on most of the recent Minecraft versions.While these changes mostly have no effect on the regular gameplay experience, they may cause some issues and bugs to occur. Please be sure to report if you encounter any!
The Most Wanted Update... Bazaar!
If you were to ask the most wanted update on the entire history of SkyBlock, the answer would be certain: Bazaar.
We've listened to you and as we shared on our Discord server - it's a cool place I would recommend joining - we've been working on it for some time now. The Bazaar Merchant, Flick has arrived in the Skyline Village today and he's been getting prepared. Next week, the early access for Bazaar begins.
We'll run some internal tests during this process. After those, ranked players will be able to use Bazaar early, as an open beta. Shortly after that, we'll be releasing it for everyone.
More details about Bazaar will be shared in another article coming in the next days!
