Expansion
This section covers the foundational elements of building and expanding your initial Skyblock island. It's all about establishing a secure base and creating the necessary infrastructure for survival and progression.- 01) Build a cobblestone generator
- 02) Build a house (safe, closed off area with door, ceiling, bed, workstations and chests)
- 03) Expand the island
- 09) Place a bed
- 12) Create an infinite water source
- 13) Place a furnace
- 14) Build a small lake
- 15) Build a mob spawner
- 34) Build and light a nether portal
The initial cobblestone generator is crucial. Mastering its placement and efficiency is key to early game progression in any speedrun.
Farms
Setting up automated or semi-automated farms is essential for resource generation. Efficient farm designs are critical for meeting the vast material requirements of the later achievements.- 04) Make a melon farm (5 melon stems)
- 05) Make a pumpkin farm (5 pumpkin stems)
- 06) Make a sugarcane farm (20 plants)
- 07) Make a wheat farm (20 plants)

- 19) Make a giant brown mushroom (substitute for 10 bookcases)
Items From Farming
This category focuses on specific items that must be collected, often from the farms established above or through other means. Remember, any item used to fulfill an achievement cannot be repurposed for another. The exception is items for your house, like bed and glass panes.- 16) Collect 10 cactus green dye
- 17) Collect 10 mushroom stew

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this Skyblock run particularly challenging?
A: The primary challenge lies in the sheer number and variety of achievements, combined with the strict resource limitations of the Skyblock environment and the added difficulty of Hardcore mode, where death means the end of the run.
Q: How did you overcome the RNG elements in this speedrun?
A: While RNG is a factor, expert players develop strategies to mitigate bad luck. This includes optimizing mob spawners for specific drops, efficient resource gathering routes, and sometimes "resetting" runs if the initial RNG is too unfavorable.
Q: Is the modified achievement list official for speedrunning?
A: This specific list was formalized by the runner for their own speedrun attempt to ensure clarity and fairness. Different communities or categories might have slightly different rulesets or accepted achievements.
Q: What's the advantage of a first-person perspective over a cinematic one for a speedrun?
A: A first-person view provides a more authentic and verifiable record of the run, showing exactly what the player saw and did. Cinematic takes, while visually appealing, can sometimes obscure critical gameplay moments or allow for editing tricks.
Q: How can I get started with Minecraft Skyblock speedrunning?
A: Start by familiarizing yourself with the game's mechanics and the specific Skyblock map. Watch existing speedruns, study common strategies, and practice! Joining communities like our Discord is also a great way to learn.
