Ultimate skygrid

I know we already got a survival world and an sb but would be kinda neat for our server, adds a different change on the game. mining will be lmore dfficult and surviving will be much tougher. No mobs can spawn but you always have only 1 block to stand on. You can get items fairly quickly but building a platform is maybe handy if you want to stay alive more than 5 minutes.
Not for those who suck at parkour lol.


I really hope this would be implemented.

I have played it on a few server and I need to say it's quite challenging because it's not only survive pvp and hunger it's surviving the deep gaps. Altough resources are easy to find you stil need to see where you mine, fall damage is on so....
 :) once you got enough resources you can start making platforms as home base,...

yeah, i myself have played quite a bit of sky grid and while i will admit at first it just looks like an upgraded version of sky block after playing it i can tell you it plays out a lot differently and provides a nice twist to your regular sky block experience. although what you have to watch out for if you add too many different options to the server besides the hit to server resources it also disperses the population of players playing something specific for instance say we had 300 players between survival & skyblock that is split lets say 50/50 meaning 150 players that play that specific world. now if we have 300 players between survival, skygrid & skyblock that split ends up being say 30%, 40%, 30% meaning we only have what at max 120 players in 1 world.

I don't really see that as an issue Roadkill...

Yes, the server max is 50 people, but the map is GIGANTIC, you only really see other players when you or they want to find you.

With teleportation enabled, most new players are always asking to join a town or whatnot. Grouping up is very quick and easy.

I don't see spreading the population across different areas as an issue that players can't easily rectify if they want to.
