How to Set Up OneBlock on Your Minecraft Server

OneBlock is a skyblock variant where players stand on a single block that regenerates infinitely. Breaking it gives random blocks, items, and spawns mobs — progressing through phases as you mine.

Setting Up OneBlock

There are two ways to run OneBlock: as a plugin (Paper/Spigot) or as a datapack/map.

Plugin Method (Recommended)

world:
  # Name of the OneBlock world
  friendly-name: "OneBlock"
  # Starting island distance
  distance-between-islands: 400

/ob — Main OneBlock command
/ob create — Create an island
/ob home — Teleport to your island
/ob phases — View available phases
/ob count — Check your block break count

Datapack/Map Method

OneBlock Phases

The default AOneBlock plugin progresses through phases:

1. Plains — Basic blocks, wood, stone
2. Underground — Ores, caves, hostile mobs
3. Winter — Snow, ice, polar bears
4. Ocean — Water, coral, fish, guardians
5. Jungle — Tropical blocks, parrots, ocelots
6. Nether — Nether blocks, blazes, ghasts
7. End — End blocks, endermen, shulkers

Each phase unlocks after mining a certain number of blocks.

💡 Tip: OneBlock is great for small groups or SMP servers. It gives each player their own progression path while still allowing multiplayer collaboration.

📝 Note: The BentoBox + AOneBlock combination also supports other gamemodes like BSkyBlock, AcidIsland, and CaveBlock. You can run multiple island gamemodes on one server.
