What are Skyblock servers?

Skyblock is a mini-game that players have leaned towards when joining a Minecraft PVP server. In short, the game mode pits multiple players in a mini-battle royale mode, set on a floating island.

Similar to other battle royales, the primary goal is to be the last player standing. However, there is quite a lot to take into consideration during one of these matches: Players will need to fortify their base, build up resources, and craft weapons to take into battle.

That’s a lot to do in a short period of time, and you are essentially racing against other players to see who can bolster the best base and materials.

How do I join a Minecraft server?

If Skyblock sounds interesting to you and you are looking to join one of these servers, the process in doing so is quite simple.
