FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not here, please ask in the Discord.

Why do I keep getting errors in the console telling me that IridiumSkyblock is disabled?

• You don't have Vault installed

  • Vault is one of the plugins' dependencies, and it is required in order for the plugin to start.

• You are using CraftBukkit

  • This plugin requires Spigot or one of Spigot's forks to run.

  • We recommend using Paper or Purpur.

• The plugin encountered a critical error

  • This may happen if you're running the plugin on a server using an unsupported version, or if the plugin hasn't updated to the latest version of Minecraft. Please check the spigot page for information regarding what versions of Minecraft we support.

How do I edit the Ore Generator?

• You can edit it in upgrades.yml

  • Inside upgrades.yml, under oresUpgrade, you will be able to see the Cobblestone Generator's ore chances and the price for upgrades, among other things.

  • This is also where you can edit the Nether Ore Generator.

Note: Level 1 of the upgrade is the "default" level. This also applies to all other upgrades.

Why isn't the Ore Generator working in the Nether?

• The Cobblestone Generator will not use the Nether Ore Generator's values.

• You need to make a basalt generator.

How do I edit the default Island Size?

• You can edit it in upgrades.yml

  • Inside upgrades.yml, under sizeUpgrade.upgrades, you will be able to see how big your island will be.

Note: Level 1 of the upgrade is the "default" level. This also applies to all other upgrades.

How do I edit the items in the chest?

• You have to edit the chest in the schematic file.

  1. Copy the schematic from plugins/IridiumSkyblock/schematics to plugins/World Edit/schematics.

  2. Use /schematic load name-of-schematic to load it onto your clipboard, and //paste to place it in your world.

  3. Edit the contents of the chest.

  4. Follow the steps outlined here to re-save the schematic.

Note: Please make sure you are using the latest version of World Edit. FAWE can cause issues with IridiumSkyblock, and we don't recommend using it.

How do I use World Edit schematics?

Steps for using World Edit schematics:

1. Save your schematic using World Edit's schematic system

   1. Select the positions using the wand or use/pos 1 and /pos 2

   2. Copy the selection using //copy.

   3. Use /schematic save name-of-schematic to save it; it will create a .schem file in plugins/World Edit/schematics (if you need to overwrite a schematic, add -f to the end of the command).

2. Copy the schematic in World Edit's schematic folder over to plugins/IridiumSkyblock/schematics.

3. Edit schematics.yml and add your schematic there.

4. Reload the plugin using /is reload,and if you don't see your changes reflected, restart your server (do NOT use /reload).

Note: If your schematic has issues loading or doesn't paste when an island is generated, please update your version of World Edit.

Why isn't my schematic working?

• You're using an outdated format (.iridiumschem, .schematic).

  • IridiumSkyblock will only accept .schem as a valid schematic format. .iridiumschem is an outdated format the plugin used before switching to World Edit's format, and .schematic is an outdated format that World Edit used prior to Minecraft 1.13.

• You're using an outdated World Edit version.

  • Make sure that if you're using World Edit, that it is fully up-to-date, as older versions are known to cause issues.

• You're using AWE / FAWE, or another fork of World Edit.

  • Async World Edit or Fast Async World Edit can cause problems with island generation. While they should work, the plugin is not tested with them, so compatibility is not guaranteed. It's recommended to test with regular World Edit if you're having problems.

How do I edit the distance between islands?

• Inside config.yml, you can change distance: 151, to something you want.

Note: This must be higher than the default island size. Doing this will affect the locations of pre-existing islands, so it is therefore not recommended changing it halfway through a map.

How do I reset all player data?

• Manual Reset:

  • Stop the server.

  • Delete IridiumSkyblock's world folders.

  • Delete iridiumskyblock.db.

• Using a command:

  • Use the command /is clearalldata.

  • A confirmation GUI will appear, and if accepted, all player data will be reset.

  • This will only clear player data and will not reset the world unless manually deleted.

Note: This will reset all data and unless a backup has been made, it cannot be recovered, please proceed with caution.

How can I limit certain blocks, such as hoppers, on people's islands?

• You can change it in upgrades.yml

  • Inside upgrades.yml, under blockLimitUpgrade.upgrades, you will be able to change certain block limits.

Note: Level 1 of the upgrade is the "default" level. This also applies to all other upgrades.

How can I remove the block limits upgrade?

1. Under blockLimitUpgrade, change enabled: true to enabled: false.

   blockLimitUpgrade:
   enabled: false

2. Remove all the blocks blockLimitUpgrade.upgrades.limits and replace it with {}.

   upgrades:
    1:
      money: 1000
      crystals: 15
      limits: {}

Note: Disabling an upgrade does not disable the whole module but instead makes it impossible to upgrade it, the defaults from upgrade level 1 will still apply and therefore if you wish to remove the upgrade entirely then you need to change it accordingly

My islands aren't generating / I'm spawning in a void!

There's no need to panic!

• Check and make sure you're on the latest version of WorldEdit for your version of Minecraft if you're using it.

• Uninstall FAWE if you're using it - this is a known issue with FAWE.

• Make sure the schematics you are using are made for your version of Minecraft.

The island world is generating normal terrain / there's vanilla terrain in my world!

This is a rare occurrence that happens when the IridiumSkyblock world is loaded and IridiumSkyblock is not working properly.
