About 3 months ago, the Hive released a post about “a brand new server”.
Here it is:
We have heard nothing since, other than its own website, and that’s just signing up to a newsletter. So, I suppose we should think up many ideas for this new thing…
and so now presenting…
The Skyblock Horizons Ideas Mega-Post!
Ideas
Your Island
You can’t have Skyblock without an island! You could start on a snowy, desert, plains, island, village, swamp, vintage space or jungle island, with various pros and cons for each (e.g snow island has heavy snow that can destroy things, but cobblestone generates at twice the speed)
Combat
Combat would be the same as in vanilla Minecraft, but with a few new items.
Whale Trebuchet: Destroy your enemies by sending a massive whale their way!
Sentry: Use sentries to protect and attack!
Lance: A melee weapon with a longer reach than a normal blade.
Bejewelled Apple: Eat one of these rare items and escape any trouble that you enter!
Enemies
I don’t know if the hive could pull this off…
Here are some common enemies:
Angry Bee: Flies around aimlessly, dealing minor damage.
Wet Walrus: Flops on you, leaving a bouncy shockwave!
Fuzzy Lion: Charges until it reaches a wall, then turns back around!
Marrow Mole: Attacks from under you and will steal all your food!
Lots of fish coming!
Areas
Since this is a progressive sort of game, there may be various areas to traverse. Here are some concepts:
Twisted Grove: A mystical forest with traps and hidden turns to baffle you in this dark, blue forest of crooked trees and camouflaged enemies!
Big-Top Bounce: A colourful circus of bright lights and fairs! Ride the wheels and rollercoasters, or face the music in the big top!
Final Fire!: A ruthless climb to the summit of a boiling volcano fortress with long promenades, and rugged ascents through the core, with lave everywhere!
Dutch Hills: Tulips, windmills, whatever Dutch people are known for!
Plot
Maybe there’s a plot?!
Here’s an idea:
The Lands of the Sky were peaceful. Everyone could become the king of trade, or the queen of industry.
Until one day, everything changed.
Barbaric monsters attacked everywhere, leaving the lands in turmoil. Now the magic that keeps the land afloat has been all but drained and it will soon plummet to earth.
Only one person can stop it.
Well, it is called a MMORPG…
I’m running out of ideas…
Bosses
Since this is an RPG, I’d expect there to be some bosses. They tie in with the areas!
Concepts:
Lava Serpent: Fend its first few flying attacks off with a bow, then strike with your sword before it enters the lava again. After that, play tennis with its fireballs, until he burrows into the arena.
Clown: He’ll send various dodging attacks like a pinball machine, but then you must enter the mouth and attack before he begins attacking again.
Ghostly Ghoul: Not meant to be challenging, but has a threatening aura surrounding it.
Other
Respawning if you leave while in a dangerous position (i:e in range of an enemy)? You’ll spawn on your island with a large beacon in the middle. Walk into it, and you’ll be teleported straight back to the location you were in.
Cosmetics
I’d expect there would be a few cosmetics like foot cosmetics like tires because don’t you want to be a car? Or back blings like a red backpack?
Give ideas for them below!

(do NOT suggest mounts or things that will benefit the player)
Bonus!
Here are the ‘bonus’ levels:
Temple:
You must adventure through a parkour course and attack each enemy to advance to the humongous effigy in the centre of the temple.
Space: Make your way past stars in the 2.5 minute time limit. Otherwise, you’ll not be able to breathe!
