NOTE:

As of Minecraft 1.3.1, spawning on Skyblock after dying is nearly impossible. It is recommended that you should either sleep in your bed, so when you die you spawn next to it, or download a fix made by King Korihor . If you would like to download the fix and read a more thorough explanation on why, Please click http://www.minecraft.../#entry17458006 and hopefully this issue will be solved in a later update.

Thank you TheJupiterSailfish for the first series ever of SkyBlock!
Check out his channel for part 2,3, etc.

Note: Removing the block that you spawned on, and not placing a block back (So if there is no block on your spawn point) then dieing may spawn you elsewhere as it is too small to pick a spawn close by. So it will spawn you on the mainland, and it will be impossible to get back. Be careful! (This problem is fixed for the versions that are above this spoiler.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Read the title of each spoiler. View the contents of a spoiler to answer your questions. Not everything will be here, as this map is meant to be a challenge, so not everything can be answered.

Here is a video from KerflumexedPenguin about the basics of SkyBlock. Thanks

"How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"

"How do I light a Nether portal without Flint & Steel?"

This is very simple to do, but it may take a few tries. The basic idea is to get your lava to light a piece of wood or something else flammable, and have the fire spread through the portal frame so it ignites, therefore activating it.
Step-by-step guide by iiTzWho

How to light the portal without Flint & Steel

It is actually really easy, if the wood burns out before it lights, try again

The rest will be in spoilers, each step in a separate spoiler

First Step

First, set up the portal (I wasn't in SkyBlock for this, therefor had 14 obsidian not 10)

Second

Set up the wood, and a little barrier so the lava doesn't go everywhere

Third

Place the lava down, let it catch fire to one of the planks, then grab it back up

Fourth

Both planks should be burning..

Fifth

The portal should be lit, if not - try again

Hope this helped somehow, good-luck with SkyBlock

TL;DR - Set up portal, put wood at base and back of portal, light wood at base, let it spread to back, BAM portal lit.

"How can I make an infinite water source with only one ice block?"

You can't. The solution is to go to the Nether, using the guide(s) above - once you're there you will find a chest with the second ice block, and many more necessary items to finish all of the SkyBlock challenges. (Items included in the Nether are 27 blocks of glowstone, brown and red mushrooms, the chest, second ice block, sugar cane, and birch sapling).

"My Sand island fell ... can you put a layer of sandstone on the bottom?"

This is a very easy fix as well. If you want to be able to collect of your sand (to finish challenges), build down below the layer of the spawn island with the bedrock by 2 levels. You can do this by using "water scaffolding" (If you don't know what this is, YouTube or Google it) then build over to the sand island. Once your over there, build a 3x3 or larger platform directly under the sand, and it will all fall down onto your platform where you can safely collect it.
Note: Be careful while using water scaffolding! Make sure the water can't form back into ice or you will fall into the void! Also, make sure you collect the cactus block on the sand island, or it may fall into the void when the sand falls.

"Can you fix the snow biome please?"

It's actually not broken, it's meant to be in one to replace it, read the spoiler above - "How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"

"Can you reduce the amount of wool for the tasks?"

There are easy ways to get all of the wool you need, and more! You can create a spawner designed just for spiders to get plenty of string.

Here is somewhat a guide by PopuptwoRS. Thanks

"How do I get gold ingots?"

Go to the Nether (with guide above) and make a platform there for zombie pigmen to spawn on. Kill them for gold nuggets. Once you have 9 gold nuggets, place them in a crafting table in a 3x3 fashion, which creates one gold ingot.
