Good evening,

After a long period of planning and working, we're finally prepared to release our newest update to Skyblock!

New features include:

• A market with 36 rentable shops, with enough space to sell pretty much anything
• Double the challenges, with spooky new rewards
• A new custom Nether island
• A PvP arena below the spawn
• 4 new custom starter islands
• A complete reset, to give some fairness for all the new features
• Some things for you to discover!

This huge update will take place on Saturday, July 15th. Prior to that, at 5:00 PM EST on Monday, July 10th, the Skyblock server will become whitelisted for testing until release, which means the current map will be removed this Monday.

Alongside our Skyblock release is a brand new Hub, built by the Ruinscraft Build Team! The build team has been hard at work to create new fantastic things for the server, such as new builds around Plots spawn, Skyblock builds, this brand new hub, and so...

From today until Monday, June 26, we will be having a 20% Summer Sale on all packages in our webstore! As summer is now here for everyone, we wished to start it off with a small sale.

We hope everyone has a great summer!

Visit our webstore at donate.ruinscraft.com!

Also, make sure to join our Discord at discord.gg/srSSSgJ! It's been lots of fun since we've updated it.

Good afternoon!

I'd like to preface this post by letting you all know that we have huge plans in the works. We can't wait to show you guys what we've been working on, these projects have been in the works for quite a while.

First off, we have updated our Creative Plots server spawn! Thank you to the Ruinscraft Build Team for their hard work on this huge project. Our previous spawn was noticeably outdated - work was started on it in late 2013. It's been quite a while. With spring here, and our many new plans for the server coming up, we decided to give our Plots server a new and updated look. We hope you like it.



Speaking of spring, it's been a while since our last sale, hasn't it? I'm happy to announce our one week spring sale! All packages will be 20% off until Monday, May 8.

As I stated earlier, we have a lot of projects we're working on. The main project you may be thinking about is Creative...

Today, we have re-implemented our classic bounty kill reward plugin. The plugin allows you to set bounties on other players and gain a bounty for killing other players.

Here is the list of commands offered by our bounty system. You can obtain this help menu by using /bounty help.


On the right hand scoreboard, you will see the top 5 revenues of online players.


By default, you will get $4 for killing a player. Every kill a player gets, the amount goes up by $2. For example: if I kill 2 players, my bounty will now be $8.

Good afternoon all,

This morning we re-enabled the //stack, //copy, and //paste commands on our creative Minecraft server.

The exploit used involved items such as redstone, carpet, cactus, and any block that drops an item when broken. Basically, people could create massive amounts of cactus (or whatever block that applies) with //stack and then break one and it would break them all. This would create a massive amount of entities all at once, overloading the server.

We have fixed this issue by limiting the amount of entities that can be created per chunk per tick update. This allows cactus, carpets, etc to still be stacked, but if you break them, they will not crash the server or lag your client.

If you find any exploits such as this one, please message a staff member.

We hope you all enjoy WorldEdit'ing freely once more,

Your friends at Ruinscraft.

Recently, there have been numerous crashes on our creative Minecraft server. This has been due to an exploit in the WorldEdit plugin we use. Specifically, the //stack, //copy, and //paste commands.

In effort to stop the crashing of the server, we have temporarily disabled the commands until we can fix the specific issues regarding them.

We hope you won't be too terribly upset with us, as we hope to have these commands re-enabled within a few days.

We will update you guys on when we fix the issue and what has been changed. We will release a lot more details on why this was a necessary action in a later post.

Thank you.

Good afternoon,

Today I would like to talk about our KitPvP server and the recent issues we have been having with specifically Ender Chests functioning correctly.

If you play on KitPvP, you might have noticed some funky stuff going on with your Ender Chest data. If you are not familiar with what has been happening, Ender Chest data has disappeared, been altered, and not saved correctly ever since the launch of the KitPvP server.

We have tried our best to combat this issue and work towards a solution that provides rock solid server performance, data reliability, and the smoothest operations possible.

The Bukkit plugin we choose to use for this release of KitPvP (I am not going to mention the name, however many of you probably know anyhow) has been unreliable and, as previously described, has caused many data issues in the past.

Just today, the plugin has caused the Ender Chest data on KitPvP to become inaccessible.

I would like to be as transparent...

Congrats to the winners of the Cloudy Visions event!

Thanks to everyone who joined in the event!

Hey guys,

Today is the start of something special that we’re hoping to do often. I’m excited to announce a brand new Skyblock event, titled Cloudy Visions!

In Cloudy Visions, you are given 8 days to build your own fantasy Skyblock island from scratch. Think of it like constructing the most beautiful starting island that you could possibly survive on. You could edit your spawn island to make it however beautiful you want it, or you could simply build your own fantasy island. The island can be any size and shape you want, as long as it is natural and beautiful.

To create the natural beauty your island will require, you will have to collect supplies in the Skyblock manner - by completing challenges, farming materials, and buying items at the shop - making it a unique experience to collect the supplies...

For a while, we've wanted to give something more to our donators. They are the ones who keep our server up and running, and we appreciate them dearly for what they've done for us.

As a result, we've spent a significant amount of time to revamp our donation tiers. We hope you will like what we have added. New features include merging of plots, new kits, more plot customization, generation of natural biomes, and more!

We also would like to introduce our new VIP8 rank!

These new features will go into effect on Saturday, January 7th. For now, you can preorder our VIP8 rank while the sale and charity goal are still going on. This is a purely cosmetic rank (you will have the name and nothing else) until our release on January 7th.

Thanks for playing, and happy new year!

Another year has passed on Ruinscraft! To celebrate our upcoming Christmas and New Years holiday, we've placed a 50% off sale on all packages from today to Monday, January 2, 2017!
