Hypixel Skyblock is an MMO minigame developed by Hypixel Studios on their popular Minecraft server Hypixel, which has over 100,000 concurrent players and over 20 million lifetime players (Server IP: mc.hypixel.net). The minigame takes the original concept of Skyblock and puts a creative spin on it, appealing to over 8.5 million of Hypixel's total playerbase.
Minecraft, developed by Mojang Studios and owned by Microsoft, is a singleplayer and multiplayer game in which a player is put in a world and let loose to survive and create whatever they desire, as there are no limits to what you can make. Server owners create vast varieties of games for players to play and have fun with freinds, or maybe just by themselves.
For future reference, coins are used as currency in the game. There is no real-life currency equivelant, as coins are constantly being brought into the game. Currently, there are about several trillion coins in the economy, with the richest player having a networth of about 100 billion coins.
A crucial part of Skyblock includes islands. There are many different islands in the vast network of Hypixel Skyblock, each with its own importance.
The main idea is, you start on your Private Island, and work to the hub island, and eventually get access to all islands.
Here is a map of all of the skyblock islands.
Scroll down and click on an island to learn more about it (They are listed in order of ideal game progression).
