Mob Arena: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:13, 10 February 2025

The Mob Arena is a wave-based cooperative minigame in which all players who join are put into an arena to fight against increasingly difficult mobs, which could be joined and started by players by using /ma j or /mobarena join.

The Mob Arena was only ever implemented on [Skyblock Classic] and [Skyblock Survival], and not [Skyblock Economy].

History

Introduction

Mob arena was first introduced sometime around 2012-2014.

November 26, 2016

The Mob Arena was announced to be re-introduced to Skyblock Classic by CypriotMerkz^[1].

January 5, 2020

The Mob Arena was disabled, assumedly due to the abundance of bugs, issues, duplication glitches and lag that it caused.

Staff still rarely re-enable it for brief periods to host games under supervision, this is to prevent players taking advantage of cheats or exploits while the Mob Arena is in operation.

This shutdown of mob arena was done silently without warning, and lasted for the length of about 5 years. This led to players creating jokes and other humorous predictions about the Mob Arena, such as the saying, "You will get married and have children before /ma j comes back".

February 6, 2025

Noobcrew announced the re-introduction of the Mob Arena within the coming few months, estimating that the update will arrive in late February, and if not in February then in the coming 2 months after^[2].

The minigame at its core will not change, however the platform of which it operates and the rewards system does, being:

The Mob Arena will be hosted on a seperate server instead of the same server, which was done in the past.
The rewards system will change. Previously it would give the player random blocks, items and the final reward if the Mob Arena was completed. The new system would give players "Skyblock Gems" which could be redeemed on [Skyblock Survival] and [Skyblock Economy], also including the SkyWars server in the future.
The introduction of Skyblock Gems allows for players to redeem currency that they are given through the Mob Arena (or potentially through any future minigame added). Stated in the announcement, players can then redeem these gems for items or other cosmetics.

The Mob Arena was the only way for players to earn a Nether Star or their Player Head (before /challenges gave players their Player Head, but this too has been disabled from the 4th of February, 2025).
