Setting up a Skyblock world in Minecraft can be easy if you follow the right steps. This guide will walk you through changing your server's level type to different versions of Skyblock, ensuring you get the experience you want.
Step 1: Log into Banana Panel
Go to your Banana Panel and log in with your credentials. If you’re unsure how to access it, check your email or refer to the instructions from your server provider.
Step 2: Select Your Server
Find your list of servers and click on the one you want to modify.
Step 3: Stop the Server
Before making changes, ensure your server is stopped. This prevents issues with saving the new settings.
Step 4: Access File Management
On the left-hand navigation menu, click File Management. This section allows you to edit your server files.
Step 5: Edit the server.properties File
Find the server.properties file and click to open it. This file contains your server’s core settings, including world generation options.
Step 6: Choose Your Skyblock Type
Depending on the type of Skyblock experience you want, you’ll need to enter the correct level-type value in the server.properties file.
1. Skyblockbuilder (Modded Skyblock - Fabric/Forge)
For modded Skyblock setups using the SkyblockBuilder mod:
level-type=skyblockbuilder\:skyblock
2. Bukkit/Spigot/Paper Skyblock (Using Plugins)
For Vanilla-style Skyblock with economy, challenges, and multiplayer features:
-
Install a Skyblock plugin such as BentoBox or ASkyBlock.
-
Set the following in
server.properties:
level-type=FLAT
generator-settings={}
3. Classic Skyblock (For Minecraft 1.12 and Older)
For older versions of Minecraft that use pre-made Skyblock worlds:
level-type=DEFAULT
(Note: You may need to upload a pre-built Skyblock world in File Management.)
4. Void World (Hardcore Challenge Mode)
For a completely empty world with no starting island:
level-type=FLAT
generator-settings={"layers":[]}
Step 7: Save Your Changes
After entering the correct level-type, click Save to apply the changes.
Step 8: Restart Your Server
Go back to the main server page and click Start. Your server will now load the selected Skyblock mode.
Troubleshooting & Tips
-
Spawning in an empty void? Delete the world folder and restart your server to regenerate it.
-
Missing a starter island? If using a plugin, run
/island createin-game. -
Using a downloaded Skyblock world? Upload it to the world folder before restarting your server.
