AOneBlock

Welcome to the world of OneBlock!

AOneBlock is a OneBlock plugin that puts you on a block in space. There is only one block. What do you do next? Credit for the original single-player idea goes to IJAminecraft. This plugin enables multiplayer and was built from the ground up on top of the BentoBox island-game plugin.

This fun plugin enables you to run a server where players can join and start their own OneBlock islands. The one block is a magic block that when broken will immediately generate a new block. Players can move through different phases of play, starting with an easy "Plains" phase where there are lots of building blocks and animals. Then the phases get harder as you move to "Underground", and vary in content to include Nether and End phases. A single run consists of about 11,000 blocks and should keep your players entertained for many days and weeks. Players will loop back to Plains after finishing the last phase.

AOneBlock has similarities to SkyBlock, but it is meant to be a different game and has different challenges. Players are starved for resources, but in a different way to SkyBlock. For example, water can be very hard to obtain early in the game and cobblestone generators are not so important because the magic block generates what you need. The goal is to give players a new challenge to SkyBlock.

AOneBlock has many configuration and setting options but is playable out of the box. Admins can differentiate by adjusting the phases, BentoBox settings, or using BentoBox addons.

Installation

Note: AOneBlock is a plugin that requires the BentoBox plugin to run. Use the download link to download a zip file that includes AOneBlock and BentoBox.

• Download the zip file and unzip it.
• Copy and paste everything into your plugin folder. BentoBox will be in the plugin folder and AOneBlock and any other add-ons you picked will be in the plugins/BentoBox/addons folder.
• Start the server.
• The server will create worlds and a data folder and inside the folder will be a config.yml and config files in phases folder.
• Login and type /ob to start playing!

Optional:

• Stop the server
• Edit config.yml and the phases .yml config files how you want.
• Delete any worlds that were created by default if you made changes that would affect them.
• Restart the server.

**If you already have BentoBox installed, you can just drop AOneBlock into your addons folder and restart the server.

FAQ

Q: What phases are there?

A: There are 11 phases: Plains, Underground, Winter, Ocean, Jungle, Swamp, Dungeon, Desert, The Nether, Plenty, Desolation, and The End. Each phase features a set of blocks, items, and mobs appropriate for the setting.

Q: How many blocks are there in the 11 phases?

A: There are currently 11 thousand blocks!

Q: What happens after the last phase?

A: The phases repeat.

Q: Why do I keep falling and dying!

A: There are tricks to surviving, but it might be difficult! You need to build defenses against mobs.

Q: Why do certain blocks spawn more frequently than others?

A: On the whole, it is random. You can set the relative probability in the config files in the phases folder. You can also set specific blocks to appear during phases, for example, your players will always get wood and a sponge block in the first phase. Look at the phase files for comments.

Q. How do I know which is the magic block?

A. Hit it and it will give out green particles.

Q. My magic block is no longer there! How do I get another one?

A. You will have to place a block there. Worse case, kill yourself and one will be generated. This shouldn't happen very often, but players sometimes find a way!

Q. My magic block is liquid! How can I mine it?

A. Use a bucket. You might need to place a block back to get it started again (see previous question).

Q: Which mobs can spawn?

A: Each phase has a different set of mobs that can spawn. Be careful because they may push you off! If you listen carefully, you can hear hostile mobs coming. Also, if you cannot hear, look at the color of the particles that the block makes when you hit or break it.

Q. I have no chance to react to hostile mobs spawning!

A. Be prepared. Listen carefully when you mine a block and you will hear hostile mobs coming before they spawn. If you are in a hostile phase, then expect mobs and build defenses to protect yourself. You can mine a block from quite far away.

Q. When mobs spawn, my defenses are destroyed! Why?

A. Mobs make space to spawn. If there's anything in the way, it'll be broken and dropped. You'll have to build accordingly.

Q: Do chests spawn?

A: Yes. Chests spawn with random items in them from the current phase. There are common, uncommon, rare and epic chests. Chests with sparkles are good.

Q: Is it possible to reach the Nether or End in this map?

A: The vanilla Nether exists by default but there is no End world. The general idea is actually that players do not go to those world types. There is no infinite Nether block for example. Instead the players get to experience those in the phases.

Q: What is the end goal?

A: It's whatever you want it to be!
