I Actually love this mod but it being the overworld ... is nightmarish for MP. I mean you could solve this in different ways including randomly placing each sign in somewhere else but the simple solution is just make a dimension. Anyways coolest skyblock ever and I hope you expand on this!

Mmm, I guess you are thinking in terms of an open server MP situation? I could see giving each player their own chunk on login, and possibly locking edits in a chunk to the person/party who placed it... but I'ld need to be careful not to do something that means players would never encounter each other. I probably need a better sense of what specific issues might crop up that aren't general minecraft MP issues.

I did experiment with having the skyblock dimension not the overworld originally, and copying chunks from the overworld. The main issue there is just that there are some behaviors largely baked into minecraft that are difficult to reproduce in additional dimensions - beds skipping night and nether portals were examples.

... Hm what about option two each person that logs in is at least a set number of chunks away with land mass and trees of course. Realistically it would be nice to separate players based on a configuration by a server owner which could be between 1 to 2,147,483,647 chunks apart :D (Forewarning most server hosts don't let minecraft use that much they max at 29999984) This would be a quick dirty fix until you figure it out. Rather than focusing on special unlocks why not just after that player logs in it acts like a normal unlock?

Oh yeah also I am great at beta and QA testing so let me know if you have dirty builds you can always find me here. Zer0Necrosis#2995 Just pm me. I also have an actual discord but its not fun to clog up peoples discords by saying join me so just pm me ;D

Going to bed my timezone is CST CHICAGO so if you need me I will be dead for roughly 11 hours after this message good luck and let me know how I can help :)

I am now awake 🗡️

I think... the easiest approach would be just to used the sealed world variant and start each player with a forest chunk spawner and a bed, then they can find their own starting chunk. The forest chunk spawner just helps guarantee they start with some trees on their chunk.

I guess fair warning it will probably be a while before I get around at looking at this proper. I plan to backport the latest version to 1.18 first, and I have some other projects that need attention.

Sounds good I look forward to the future then.

Closing this. The suggested technique with using a sealed world and starting each player with a chunk spawner should be doable as is - I'm sure there are existing mods to customise starting loadouts of players. So not clear what change I would make as part of this issue.
