📢 Fixing Skyblock

🟠 The Problem
Right now, it’s nearly impossible for new players to compete in the Hall of Fame if they join even a few weeks after the season starts. Early players already have massive farms and setups way ahead. With short shop rotations and AFK methods dominating, the gap just keeps getting worse.

I believe these changes can fix that and make things fair for everyone.

Make HoF Rotations Longer and More Meaningful

1️⃣ Change Harvester to Reward Active Grinding
Last season, grinding carrots and similar crops was actually fun and rewarding. It was about skill and effort, not just who could AFK the longest.

My suggestion: Harvester should only collect fully grown crops that players break themselves. No more auto-harvesting or collecting half-grown stuff. This will make farming more active and stop AFK farms from dominating.

2️⃣ Adjust storage barrel upgrades
Since shulker boxes are being removed from storage barrel, the storage upgrades need to be adjusted. Instead of having the price increase from 5k to 10k and then 15k, the upgrades should stay capped at 5,000.

This makes sense because with the new economy changes, big automated farms like huge cocoa setups won’t be a thing anymore. Keeping storage at 5k encourages more manual, balanced farming instead of relying on massive storage.

3️⃣ Remove the Overpowered TNT Farm
The TNT farm this season is significantly overpowered. Players use TNT explosions to AFK farm redstone and other ores with minimal effort.

Not only is this unfair, but it also causes significant server lag due to the constant activity of dispensers and autocrafters.

This farm should be removed or properly balanced to maintain fair gameplay and server stability.

4️⃣ Fix MCMMO Herbalism So It Actually Works
Right now, Herbalism only regrows crops to growth stage 4 at level 1000, which doesn’t help with crops like carrots or potatoes that need to reach stage 7.

The fix is simple: at high levels, Herbalism should regrow crops all the way to full maturity. That way, players who’ve invested in MCMMO get a real reward.

5️⃣ Make HoF Rotations Longer and More Meaningful
Rotations changing every week are too short. If you grind a crop hard, and then it rotates out, and something more profitable shows up, it feels like wasted time.

Rotations should last 2 weeks or even a month, focusing on whole activity categories instead of just one crop.

Example HoF rotations:

Farming HoF – Carrot, Potato, Wheat, etc.

Mining HoF – Iron, Diamond, Coal, etc.

Melon HoF – Melon Blocks, Slices, Pumpkin

Cane HoF – Bamboo, Sugarcane

Spawner HoF – Mob drops (bones, gunpowder, etc.)

This lets players plan better and feel like their effort actually counts.

✅ Why This Matters

New players can actually catch up

AFK farms won’t take over the economy

Grinding feels worth it again

MCMMO becomes useful

Less lag, smoother server performance

💬 Final Thoughts
Skyblock is at its best when grinding and skill matter more than AFK setups. These changes would bring back that feeling, make the game more balanced, and keep it fun for everyone.

Let’s make the HoF something to really compete for, not just a race for who builds the biggest AFK farm first.
