Challenges were my main motivation when I first started playing, so I was pleased to see this server had so many. However with them now all done, my only ambitions left are to max out my McMMO abilities and to have a presentable island. Thus, I've taken the liberty of coming up with a few new challenge ideas, ones that cannot be easily completed via /shop. Challenge suggestions: *Name:* Paradise *Requirements:* Activate six beacons on your island *Rewards:* 1 emerald block, 1 diamond block, 1 iron block, 1 gold block, 200 experience *Name:* Icarus *Requirements:* Stand at the bottom of the world *Rewards:* 16 vines, 1 ocelot spawn egg, 50 experience *Name:* Babel *Requirements:* Stand at the top of the world *Rewards:* 3 iron, 64 andesite, 50 experience *Name:* Sky Pirate *Requirements:* 64 golden nuggets, 48 gold ingots, 16 gold blocks *Rewards:* 1 villager spawn egg, 300 experience *Name:* Hephaestus *Requirements:* 128 coal ore, 64 iron ore, 64 brick blocks *Rewards:* 2x lava buckets, 20 McMMO Mining levels, 100 experience *Name:* Poseidon *Requirements:* 64 raw fish, 32 raw salmon, 2 clownfish, 128 coarse dirt, 128 stone *Rewards:* Lure III book, 20 McMMO Fishing levels, 100 experience *Name:* Ares *Requirements:* Sharpness IV diamond sword, Sharpness IV diamond axe, 50 enchanting levels *Rewards:* Sharpness V book, 10 McMMO Swords and Axes levels, 100 experience *Name:* Artemis *Requirements:* Have ten wolves on your island *Rewards:* 1 ocelot spawn egg, 20 McMMO Taming levels, 100 experience *Name:* Apollo *Requirements:* Power IV, Infinity I Bow; 1 arrow; 35 enchanting levels *Rewards:* Power V, Infinity I book, 20 McMMO Archery levels, 100 experience *Name:* Eris *Requirements:* 1x God Apple *Rewards:* 3 different apple heads from /HDB, 20 McMMO Woodcutting, Mining and Herbalism levels, 200 experience *Name:* Cephalopod Party *Requirements:* Stand near ten squids *Rewards:* 1x Elder Guardian spawner *Name:* Bane of the Sea *Requirements:* Fight the Elder Guardian *Rewards:* 5x gold blocks, 64 prismarine blocks, 200 experience *Name:* Portal Construction #1 *Requirements:* 128 Ender pearls, 1,000+ island level *Rewards:* 1 ender frame, 300 experience *Name:* Portal Construction #2 *Requirements:* Chain armour set, 1,000+ island level *Rewards:* 1 ender frame, 150 experience *Name:* Portal Construction #3 *Requirements:* 320 obsidian, 128 blaze rods, 320 stone brick, 1,000+ island level *Rewards:* 3 ender frames, 150 experience *Name:* Portal Construction #4 *Requirements:* Stand between three wither bosses at once, 1,000+ island level *Rewards:* 4 ender frames, 300 experience *Name:* Portal Construction #5 *Requirements:* 64 diamond blocks, 64 gold blocks, 64 iron blocks, 1,000+ island level *Rewards:* 3 ender frames, 500 experience *Name:* The End? *Requirements:* Stand close to an active End Portal *Rewards:* 4 end crystals, 2 shulker shells, 10 experience *Name:* The Summoner *Requirements:* 4 end crystals, 6 cow eggs, 6 pig eggs, 6 chicken eggs, 2 wolf eggs *Rewards:* Enderdragon spawn egg *Name:* Dragon Slayer *Requirements:* Spawn the Enderdragon *Rewards:* 1 Dragon egg Pros -More objectives for players to strive for, increasing each player's average play time -Expands the late-game -Introduces new mobs and items that would otherwise be inaccessible Cons -Could be difficult to develop -Only a minority of players may ever experience some of the harder challenges A few things to note: -Squids typically require the Ocean biome, and are difficult to spawn without a large quantity of water. This adds a respectable barrier to the Elder Guardian fight -Whilst cooked fish are purchasable via /shop, raw fish are not. The goal is to ensure players cannot buy their success via melon farms -Unless naturally spawned via the Taiga biome, wolves must be obtained via a previously existing challenge which rewards a single egg -Players may be given access to the End itself, but due to the difficulties of introducing it I've made these challenges with no access to the End in mind -Solo players can construct an End portal by completing all the challenges, however group players will have an obvious advantage
Adding new challenges will need to be a semi regular occurrence to keep skyblock fun, Some of these may eventually be added to a tier above Godly.
