I have been playing a lot more skyblock recently, and its been basically since 2015 when Skyblock began that I had seriously played. I have enjoyed lots of the new challenges and rewards they offer. There are a couple new ideas I have for the gamemode that could enhance it.
1. Add /skull as a perk that can be found in legendary treasure chests. Having the ability to have your own skull on your island or a roster of your island players by your spawn would be really cool. To stop it from flooding the head market, you could limit it to ~5 skulls per 24 hours.
2. Add the ability to smelt golden chestplates for gold ingots just like gold swords and golden helmets. I find plenty of them inside loot chests in the nether and have no use for them. Most players in the nether would probably have at least iron gear at that point in time too. So, these are effectively useless right now. Maybe making each chestplate worth 2 gold ingots would make it worth carrying back.
3. Add some more challenges. Some challenges could be more intense for late-game players, and there are several custom recipes which could be worked into some neat challenges. Some examples:
- Fully Covered- Create a platform that covers the entire available island space (105 x 105)
Reward: 1 Beacon and 20 iron blocks
- Frozen- Collect the following frozen items: 64 ice blocks, 32 snow layer, 128 snow blocks
Reward: 32 packed ice blocks, 10 emeralds
- Banner Crafter- Create 12 different banner designs
Reward: 1 creeper head, 1 notch apple, and 1 wither skull
- Brick Mason- Craft 128 brick blocks
Reward: 64 clay, 128 smooth stone blocks
- Horse Armorer- Collect 10 saddles, 5 iron horse armor, 3 gold horse armor and 1 diamond horse armor
Reward: 1 spawn horse egg, 2 leads
Hope these suggestions are at least somewhat helpful and are able to help make skyblock more enjoyable for those that play it! Would love some feedback and improvements.
