The skyblock gamemode on the most popular Minecraft server, Hypixel, is a unique take on the gamemode. This iteration of the gamemode, unlike other server's, provides infinite resources, and is more in the MMO genre than survival genre.
Skills are one of the biggest parts of improving your character. Currently, there are 12 skils in the gamemode, 3 being purely cosmetic. Skills are leveled up by doing things relaed to the skills, such as getting combat XP for slaying mob. The amount of skill XP you get can be inscreased by slaying higher level mobs, and also using skill xp potions, pets, and other factors. The skills that are usually considered the most important to level up are combat and foraging for more damage, and enchanting to be able to use more enchantments, aswell as increasing magic damage. One last skill is dungeoneering, which is considered essential to level up for people who want to do well in dungeons.
Dungeons is a different part of the skyblock gamemode. Players group up in teams of 5 to go through a dungeon filled with randomly generated rooms and defeat the boss at the final room. The main reason players do dungeons is the ridiculous amount of coins players can get from selling rare drops. The normal amount of coins an item sells for is determined by how difficult it is to get. Rare drops on lower floors of dungeons won't sell for much profit, but rare drops from the highest floor can make players hundreds of millions of coins. The most important factors in doing well in dungeons is having a high dungeoneering level in the respective dungeon and class, and having good gear.
One of the main parts of skyblock is the economy part of it. The 2 main ways the in-game economy functions is the auction house and the bazaar, the auction house being the main one. In the auction house, players can put nearly every item in th game up for either auction, or BIN. putting an item on for BIN allows that item to be bought for the specific price put by the item owner. The price of items on the auction house(AH for short) depends on the demand of the item, the supply of it, and how recent the ite's release is. Items are usually at their highest price on the day which they release. The bazaar is mostly used for buying and selling crafting materials and utility items, such as minion fuels. The prices of items in the bazaar depend on the same factors as items on the AH.
Minions are a big part of the game. They can be used to get skill XP, money, and resources while offline. Certain minions are good for certain objectives, some are good for balanced, and some are just not useful. For example, snow minions are considered the best minion, because they make a ton of coins because they generate 4 snowballs as fast as every 3 seconds, and also make the most mining XP out of any minion. Meanwhile, minions such as the quartz minion, are considered bad overall since there are cheaper minions that can make more coins, and give more mining XP.
