Skyland Challenge Datapack - Customization

This enables the Skyblock experience I personally always wanted.

The Challenge is to find alternate ways to survive that work in the sky. But in the Original version by Noobcrew you are very limited in that regard and some essential items need to be placed in the world. Once lost they are forever gone.

Here the only hard requirements are some wood, stone and some water at hand to get started again.

The more you achieve, the easier it gets to generate more and different resources and you can focus more on getting creative with your builds.

The recipe Book and additional advancements try to provide some hints on how to proceed.

At the start a player can choose one of two starting islands. 'Casual' and 'Expert'

The Casual island offers some conveniences like dirt, grass, a tree, food and a bed to prevent phantoms to spawn.

The Expert island only hosts a pile of logs and stone each, two cauldrons filled with water and a grass block. It is the minimum to get started and generate everything over time. If you handle your resources mindful, you can even afford to die once or twice before getting your first lava bucket.
