SBC VoidSkyblock

⚠ Actively under development — updates ship frequently

A lightweight, modpack-ready skyblock framework for NeoForge 1.21.1.
Drop it in, configure your structures and shops, and hand players a complete void skyblock experience out of the box.

✦ Features

🔮 Portal System

Build a frame from Skyblock Portal Frame blocks, ignite it with flint and steel, and step through. First-time players get a new island; returning players are sent home. Frames can be any size from 2×3 up to 21×21 and behave exactly like a nether portal — break one frame block and it goes dark.

🏝️ Island System

Players start in a central lobby and create their island via the portal or /sb create. Islands generate on a configurable grid with a default 5000-block spread, giving every player an equal 2500-block protected territory. Multiple NBT/Schematic templates are supported so modpack developers can ship any starting island they like.

🔒 Island Border & Protection

Each island is surrounded by an invisible protection boundary automatically sized to match the island grid spacing. Visitors and strangers cannot place or break blocks unless they are a member of the island's team or on the trust list.

A full-height animated border wall — styled similarly to the vanilla world border — becomes visible when a player is near the edge. The wall is color-coded:

Cyan — normal border (owner toggled on)
Orange — island is locked to visitors
Red — you are banned from this island

Island owners can toggle their own border visibility with /sb toggleborder. Banned and untrusted players always see the border regardless of that setting.

🛒 Shop System

A complete economy built for skyblock progression. A default Market shop auto-creates on first load with 80+ pre-balanced items — logs, stone, tools, ores, food, farming supplies, and mob drops. Prices are calibrated around Oak Log = $3 and Cobblestone = $4.

Shop GUI — 9×4 grid with pagination. Left-click to buy, right-click to sell, shift-click for bulk (×64).
Shop NPCs — Invulnerable vendor entities that smoothly face nearby players and open the shop GUI on interact.
Island Economy — All team members share one balance. Balance is always visible in the HUD.
Admin Tools — Create unlimited shops, add/remove items by holding them, update prices live.

🏛️ Lobby System

The lobby dimension is a protected hub. Players are automatically placed in Adventure mode on arrival and switched back to Survival mode the moment they step onto their island. Server operators and creative-mode players bypass these restrictions entirely.

📊 HUD Overlay

A persistent HUD overlay shows island name, level, and balance. Players can reposition it with /sb hud and the position is saved across sessions and world reloads.

📈 Island Levels & Leaderboard

Island level is calculated from the blocks players have placed. Block values are fully configurable. Use /sb level to check your own island and /sb top to compete on the server leaderboard.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Team Management

Full integration with FTB Teams and FTB Chunks — island chunks are automatically claimed on creation and released on deletion. Without FTB Teams the mod ships its own invite/kick/leave team system with configurable max team size.

🚪 Visiting & Trust System

Players visit each other with /sb visit <player>. Island owners can lock their island, ban specific players, or add trusted players who can visit even when locked.

📦 Structure Export System (Admin Tool)

Build and export island or lobby structures with no size limits. Grab the Structure Wand with /sb admin wand, shift-right-click two corners, then right-click to open the Export GUI.

Visual green wireframe shows your exact selection in-world.
X/Y/Z adjustment buttons expand or contract the selection from both sides.
NBT format — preserves block entities, chest contents, ComputerCraft computers, signs, and entities.
Schematic format — WorldEdit-compatible .schem files (Sponge v2/v3).
Files export to config/sbc_voidskyblock/exported/.

⚙️ Configuration

All key values live in config.json: island spacing, max team size, biome per template, block values for island levels, spawn coordinates and facing direction for both lobby and island templates, and FTB integration toggles.

Fix — /spawn now correctly redirects to the SBC lobby instead of the overworld void.
Fix — /setworldspawn now sets the SBC lobby spawn point instead of throwing a "can only set world spawn in overworld" error.
Fix — Lobby teleport now scans for a safe landing Y automatically so a misconfigured spawn height can no longer kill players.
New Admin Command — /sb admin setlobbyspawn — stand where you want players to land in the lobby and run it. Saves position and facing direction to config instantly. No manual JSON editing required.

1.0.4
