Suggestion #14779

Bring Back AutoMiner Meta / Old Hopper Limits!

After playing the current Skyblock season, I feel like there are several things that could be improved to make the gamemode more enjoyable, balanced, and competitive. Compared to the previous season, the current system feels like it focuses too much on easy progression and spending money rather than grinding, strategy, and long-term goals. First, I think the balance between F2P and P2W players needs to be improved. Players who spend money can gain access to more resources, spawners, and upgrades much faster, giving them a significant advantage over players who rely on grinding. I understand that the server needs to make money, but spending should not make such a huge difference in progression. F2P players should still have a realistic chance to compete if they invest enough time and effort into the game. Second, I believe /is upgrade should be removed or heavily reworked. Island progression should feel rewarding and require players to work toward their goals. When upgrades make progression too easy, it removes some of the challenge and satisfaction that comes from building an island from the ground up. Making players grind for important upgrades would give them more reasons to stay active. Another suggestion is to balance the spawner system. Right now, having more spawners can provide a massive advantage in terms of resource generation and money-making. This can make the economy feel unfair, especially when players who spend money can build their farms much faster than everyone else. I think spawners should remain an important part of Skyblock, but their progression and accessibility should be balanced so that grinding is still a competitive alternative. I also hope the team considers bringing back AutoMiner and other mechanics from the old Skyblock meta. AutoMiner gave players another meaningful goal to work toward and helped create a more interesting progression system. Bringing it back, with proper balancing and improvements, could make grinding more rewarding and give experienced players something to aim for throughout the season. Lastly, I think Skyblock should have its own identity instead of sharing too many mechanics with OneBlock. Both gamemodes should offer different experiences, progression paths, and reasons to play. Skyblock should focus more on island development, resource management, farming strategies, and building an efficient economy. Unique mechanics would make the gamemode feel fresh and give players a stronger reason to choose it over other modes. I'm not saying the entire current system is bad or that every new feature should be removed. I believe the best solution would be to combine the strongest aspects of the old Skyblock system with the improvements introduced in the current season. Better F2P and P2W balancing, more meaningful progression, a balanced spawner economy, and the return of unique mechanics like AutoMiner could make a huge difference. Overall, I hope the team takes these suggestions into consideration. Skyblock has a lot of potential, and I believe that focusing more on fair competition, rewarding grinding, and unique gameplay would make the gamemode much more enjoyable for everyone. Players should feel that their time and effort matter, regardless of how much money they spend. Thank you for taking the time to read this feedback. I hope we can see some improvements in future seasons and bring back the competitive feeling that made the old Skyblock so enjoyable.
