Adding the nether to skyblock would cause a few things to happen: It could hurt the economy, and there would be an abundance of nether items throughout skyblock. I was thinking that the nether could be added BUT have it only accessible to certain donating ranks. Say Elite and higher or maybe only gods. That way nether items would be available. Another option is to have it only accessible by mods so the amount of nether items can be controlled. In my opinion, I favor the second option. That way there will still be some high value items going around. I would rather have there be more high valued items around than too many dirt cheap items. As for the first option, It could add more of an incentive to donate so that people can go to the nether. But, as i have said, there would then be too many items going around. So that is my suggestion. Shannon, Froe, and Archangel highly suggested I post this suggestion to the forums so i did.
P.S. Still wondering about Island Level

 

Ok now I don't play skyblock much, in fact, I don't think I even have an island lol. But if you just take a moment to think about this idea and compare it to the main idea of skyblock, WHICH btw is to survive on an island with little to no supplies and build that island into a palace or whatnot. Giving ANYONE full access to an actual nether world would be way to OP because it would give them unlimited block and supplies and would make the server yet another one of those pay to win servers, most of which have a small bright moment then crash and burn (trust me, I've moderated quite a few, still waiting for another to finish burning)

I think if a shop were added similar to the shop on skyblock.net. I think that would suffice, but a whole nether world for players to run freely in simply would not work. You would have players running through the nether searching for other portals to go through to get to new islands and steal the stuff.

 

And thats a good point, thats why I think that Mods should be able to go to the nether. That way they can control how many items are brought into skyblock. There are already so many useless items and different mob machines you can make so why not add nether items to add to the fun. And that last part is also a very good point. So with that being said I think if it were to be enabled, the ONLY option is to have it accessible by mods and control the amount of materials brought out. And there are in fact challenges that require items from the nether in order to move onto the next set of challenges. If island level was enabled then you wouldnt need the explorer challenge to get to master level challenges. I just think it will add more fun if there were even more items. In this server specifically I think it is more shop based. Having the best shop and making a lot of money. And thats just my opinion.
