Each material provided to you has a purpose, by understanding the basics of minecraft you can complete challenges and expand your island. Handy commands, tips and tricks and frequently asked questions have been added to this forum post!
Caveblock
CaveBlock is a new addition to SentinelCraft! Instead of an island in the sky, you will start off in an underground world with limited materials! Challenge yourself, build, destroy and fight your way out of this underground madness!

Skyblock Getting Started & Pro-Tips:
First Steps:
- Cut the tree down, make sure to save the saplings
- Use the iceblock and lava provided to make a cobble generator (pictures below!)
- Plant more trees. While waiting for trees to grow, obtain more cobble using your generator
- Complete challenges to receive unique and otherwise unobtainable blocks.
Tips:- Start off by building on the bedrock block that is found beneath your island, to avoid future obstruction. As this block can not be removed.
- Even though wood is easy accessible in the start of your skyblock journey, do not build your base of the island with this material. It can easily be destroyed by mobs and bad weather.
- Any passive mob needs skylight to spawn, if you have a large area of grass block you need to be at least 27 away for them to spawn.
- Warped Nylium & Crimson Nylium, grow similar to Grass blocks. All you need is some nether rack to spread both these blocks.
- When spawning on your island, make an convenient water source with the 2 ice blocks you get in your chest.
- Best way to reach the bottom of your island is to make a water elevator that falls down next to your island. Build a bottom layer under your island for maximum collection of all the blocks under your island.
- Hunger is not all that important when you start out in skyblock don't stress! Just jump off your island and die. You will re-spawn on the top of your island with a full hunger bar.
First Steps:
- Steal wood from the abandoned mine to make a pickaxe
- Mine cobble from the walls of the cave
- Plant trees to obtain more wood.
- Complete challenges to receive unique and otherwise unobtainable blocks.
Additional Notes:
- If you accidentally turn your lava into obsidian, right-click the obsidian with a bucket to turn it back to lava. Remember to be more careful next time!
- Your money and inventory on Skyblock are separate from the survival and towny worlds. The command /shop does not work in this world too. Instead, you can make your own shop with trade signs.
- Remember, you have limited resources (for example dirt, sand, and lava) in Skyblock and Caveblock, so sort out your renewable resources and your non-renewable early on.
- Monsters spawn 24 blocks away in darkened areas. If your island is too small, you will not be able to get mob drops.
- Grass blocks are the only thing cows, sheep, pigs, and horses spawn on. Make sure to save at least one grass block if you want to have animals!
- Skyblock & Caveblock is very involved, and not for the fainthearted. It's best played with friends! 
use /is team invite (PlayerName) in Skyblock or /cb team invite (PlayerName) in Caveblock.
Challenge & Levels:
Challenges are created to get unique and valuable blocks. For example, the first one is obtaining a stack of cobblestone with the reward of 4 pieces of gravel and 50 level xp. Each block has a set level xp, the more valuable blocks give a higher xp gain.
The 10 players with the highest levels have the top islands, which can be seen by doing /is top or /cb top - for skyblock and caveblock respectively.
FAQsWhat is the goal of this game?To finish all Challenges and reach the top of /is top and/or /cb top. But the most important thing is to have fun.

Are my items protected and can I loot my neighbours islands?The islands/caves are protected and can't be griefed by outsiders.
