How to Setup and Use Iridium Skyblock on your Minecraft Server

Over the years, Skyblock has increasingly become one of Minecraft's most popular game modes, currently at its peak on Multiplayer servers. In Skyblock, players start on a small island surrounded by a void, with only some dirt, a tree, and a chest of essential items. It's certainly different from the standard Minecraft playthrough, but a major challenge for those that are up for a new experience.

Iridium Skyblock is a plugin created to give the optimal Skyblock experience on a multiplayer Minecraft server. Allowing players to easily create, manage, and survive on their independent islands. Iridium Skyblock includes unique features such as; Island Menu, Island Permissions, a leaderboard, Island Quests, Island Upgrades, Island Bank, and customisable Island borders!


Installing Iridium Skyblock

To install the Iridium Skyblock plugin on your server, you will need to download both the plugin and its dependencies and upload the .jar files to your server's plugins folder.

  1. Download Iridium Skyblock.
  2. Download Vault.
  3. Navigate to your control panel and Stop your server.
  4. Ensure your server is using a server type compatible with plugins, we suggest using PaperMC.
  5. Access your server files via FTP, we suggest using FileZilla.
  6. Navigate to /plugins, and upload both Iridium Skyblock and Vault JAR files.
  7. Start your server.

Installing an Economy Plugin (Recommended)

It is recommended (but not required) to install an Economy Plugin to your Minecraft server to allow the Island Shops to function correctly. 

We would recommend using EssentialsX for this, and you can find our Knowledgebase article on how to install EssentialsX here.


Plugin Configuration

Iridium has many configuration options and files, too many to cover in this article. We suggest you take some time to explore the files to gain an understanding of the options you have available. The official Wiki does an exceptional job of explaining each configuration file.

Iridium's configuration files can be found within your server files at /plugins/IridiumSkyblock.


Creating your Skyblock Island

Once connected to your server, players will be able to create their own Skyblock island.

  1. Enter the command /island create, and select a starting schematic.
  2. To access the island menu, type /island.
  3. To add a friend to your island, type /island invite <PlayerName>.
