🌎 Growing A World 🌎 NEZUKO Plays MINECRAFT SKYBLOCK Ep 4

Creating mountains and oceans in Minecraft Skyblock presents a unique challenge due to the limited resources and space inherent in the game mode. Unlike standard Minecraft, where vast landscapes are readily available, Skyblock requires players to generate almost everything from scratch.
Creating Mountains in Minecraft Skyblock

Building mountains in Skyblock primarily involves resource management and strategic block placement [1]. Since traditional terrain generation is absent, players must gather or create all necessary blocks.

Resource Acquisition:
Cobblestone Generation: The most fundamental resource for mountain building is cobblestone, typically acquired through a cobblestone generator [2]. This involves combining lava and water to continuously produce cobblestone blocks [2].
Dirt and Stone: While cobblestone forms the bulk, dirt and regular stone are crucial for detailing and a more natural appearance. Dirt can be obtained by farming grass blocks (if available) or by crafting it from coarse dirt and gravel [3]. Stone can be smelted from cobblestone [3].
Clay and Terracotta: For more varied textures and colors, clay can be found in limited quantities or created through specific mod integrations if playing on a modded Skyblock server [4]. Smelting clay blocks yields terracotta, offering a wider palette [4].

Mountain Construction:
Foundation and Shape: Begin by establishing a broad base using cobblestone, gradually narrowing it as you build upwards to create a conical or ridge-like shape [1]. Think in "chunks" to visualize the mountain's form before filling it in [1].
Layering and Detailing: Incorporate different block types like stone, dirt, and even gravel to break up the monotony of cobblestone and add visual interest [1]. Gray clay and regular clay can be used on the sides for further detailing [1].
Adding Greenery: Once the basic structure is complete, replace some stone blocks with grass blocks on the upper layers [1]. Then, use grass and fern blocks to add vegetation. It's recommended to manually place these rather than using bone meal to avoid unwanted flowers, unless specifically desired [1].
Varying Sizes: While Skyblock limits initial space, the principles of mountain building allow for creating both small and larger structures, depending on the available resources and player ambition [1].

Creating Oceans in Minecraft Skyblock

Creating an ocean in Skyblock is primarily about infinite water source generation and careful expansion [5].

Infinite Water Source:
The cornerstone of any large water body in Skyblock is an infinite water source [5]. This is typically achieved by creating a 2x2 square of water, where placing water in two opposite corners will cause the other two corners to fill, creating an infinite supply [5].
Alternatively, a 1x3 trench with water at both ends will also create an infinite source in the middle [5].

Expansion and Containment:
Building a Basin: Before expanding the water, construct a large basin or perimeter using solid blocks like cobblestone or stone to contain the water [6]. The size and depth of this basin will determine the final dimensions of your "ocean."
Filling the Basin: Systematically fill the constructed basin using buckets of water from your infinite source [5]. It's crucial to place water blocks adjacent to existing water blocks to ensure a smooth, flowing surface without gaps [5].
Depth and Biome Considerations: For a more realistic ocean, consider varying the depth of your basin. While Skyblock doesn't inherently have ocean biomes, players can simulate the aesthetic by adding sand, gravel, and sea lanterns at the bottom [7].

Advanced Techniques (Modded/Creative):
In modded Skyblock versions, or if playing in a creative mode environment, tools like WorldEdit or similar block manipulation mods can significantly expedite the process of creating large-scale terrain features like mountains and oceans [8]. These tools allow for instant placement of large volumes of blocks or the generation of complex shapes.

By focusing on efficient resource generation and methodical construction, players can transform their limited Skyblock island into impressive landscapes featuring mountains and oceans.
