Nightfall.

• A Skyblock Experience that does not depend on Ex Nihilo or Garden of Glass
• Player progression that lets you unlock both hearts and inventory slots over time
• Buy resources from the life council and develop your own unique farms
• Or find a way to explore and exploit up to seven dangerous dimensions
• There is a custom guidebook to help you avoid too many nasty surprises
• And it can be shapelessly crafted into the meta book that talks about pack design
• You can pick from several different schools of magic each with their own in game guide
• Or stick to technology. Dwarven “magic” is based on Immersive engineering and the Psi Mod
• Of course if you prefer Redstone you have still options including the Create mod to play with

You are employed by the Life Council and they support you. Every game week (2.5 hours) you’ll receive your paycheck in the form of prosperity shards. These can be used to buy basic items and resources from the shop. It’s not enough to live on but the quest book is soul bound to you and can be crafted again from shards if you somehow lose it. There is no case where you have to just restart because you didn’t get a sapling or something. Instead you have to choose how to invest your initial resources wisely so you aren’t left endlessly waiting for that next paycheck.

This is very friendly for new players or people who just want to experiment. Among the items you can buy in the shop are guide books for all of the included magic or tech mods. There also are some quick start kits. You 100% don’t have to start out with a sapling and do the same boring grind every time you start a new world. Your strategy can be different every time and if you screw up just tear it all down and start over. This is a pack for people who want to build cool things, not just a ton of farms before they quit!

The pack has some harsh mechanics that are designed to reward players who plan carefully and build infrastructure. The guide book is there to walk you through everything. So don’t just toss it into the void until you’ve actually got a grip on the unique world this pack presents. Also, don’t freak out when you start with just one heart and one line of inventory slots. You can gain more. You also start out with a shulker box. Never forget that this is a Skyblock. If you encounter an enemy before you are ready something has already gone wrong in a rather dramatic way.

If building farms and staring out into empty space isn’t your thing this pack provides seven other dimensions for you to explore and exploit. You can get to some of them very early. Of course you won’t be able to stay in any of them for too long without facing consequences but . . . that’s part of the fun. It’s up to you to figure out how to utilize or ignore the rest of the universe. But it can be done and there are plenty of places to go.  So plan your trip wisely and try to have fun!
