= The story of skyblock = The story of skyblock is that the player wakes up on a tiny island, not knowing how he/she came there. He/she will open a chest which is standing on the island, finding a note inside, saying 'for you.' When the player looks under the sign, he/she will find a lava bucket and a block of ice. = The different islands =

The main island
The main island is the island the player 'wakes up on', consisting out of dirt, some sand blocks and one bedrock. On the island are a oak tree, and a chest containing lava and ice. This island can be used for farming, and making a cobble generator.

The desert island
The desert island only consists out of sand, in a 3×3×3 shape, having another chest and a cactus on top. In the chest is 10 obsidian, allowing the player to make a nether portal, which can be lit with lava and wood planks.

The nether island
The nether island is made out of glowstone, also in a 3×3×3 shape. On this island is another chest. Here the player can find another piece of ice. This grants the ability of making a infinite water pool. = The survival strategy =
