About the relaunch

What happened to MegaBuild.de?

MegaBuild.de is relaunching as Custom Skyblock: a fresh start with one main game, in which every player gets their own island server.

Custom SkyblockHow Custom Skyblock works on MegaBuild.de – your own island servers, a world that grows as you explore, AI residents and biomes to unlock.

When does Skyblock launch?

No launch date has been announced yet. News comes first on our Discord and on status.megabuild.de.

Do CityBuild and the minigames still exist?

The relaunch puts Custom Skyblock at the center. The old wiki pages about CityBuild and the minigames are kept as an archive, but they’re no longer up to date. Questions about old saves and ranks are best asked on our Discord.

Skyblock

How do I get an island?

Type /sky in the lobby, select Create Skyblock and pick a crystal – it decides your starting biome. While Captain Mala tells you the story in the intro, your island is created in the background. Afterwards a Warpett takes you there.

Getting StartedFrom the lobby to your first resident – getting started with Custom Skyblock on MegaBuild.de, with Mala, the airship and a Warpett.

Can I change my starting biome later?

No. But you can unlock all other biomes with Mana in the skill tree.

How do I earn Mana?

Through quests, biome quests, votes, Mana ore, Mana Shards and lots of normal actions like mining ore, taming animals or enchanting. Actions give up to 150 Mana a day, Mana ore up to 200 – quests have no limit. Mana ore gives you Mana orbs, which you deposit into your account at a Furnace Golem. It also turns Mana Shards into Mana, 1 per shard and up to 20 shards a day.

Mana & RubyThe two currencies on MegaBuild.de – how to earn Mana and Ruby, what you need them for and what happens when you die.

Why am I not getting any Mana?

The most common reasons:

You’ve reached your daily limit (it resets at 04:00).
The block was placed by you.
You mined ore without a pickaxe.
You’re not in Survival mode.
The monster came from a spawner.
Mana ore gives you Mana orbs instead of Mana – deposit them at a Furnace Golem.

When are there new quests?

Daily quests renew at 04:00, the weekly quest on Mondays at 04:00.

How many fellow players can I bring to my island?

Up to 25 members. For each one you decide what they may do.

Members & RightsInvite players to your island, decide what they're allowed to do there, give your clan and your friends access and choose who may watch.

Can I send Mana to other players?

Not your Mana account. You can pass on Mana orbs, though – the receiver can deposit up to 100 foreign orbs a day at a Furnace Golem. Ruby, on the other hand, you can send with /pay <player> <amount> – every new account starts with 500 Ruby. New accounts can only pass it on 24 hours after their first login and after 20 minutes of playtime – more on this.

Can I restart my island?

You can delete your island in the lobby under /sky → Management and then create a new one – even with a different crystal. Deleting is permanent. You keep your Mana, Ruby and achievements, but not the biomes you bought.

I bought a biome but can't find it

New biomes only appear in areas nobody has explored yet. A freshly bought biome is guaranteed to show up in the next new area – so fly or build in a direction you haven’t been yet.

The Island WorldThe island world on MegaBuild.de – how new islands appear as you explore, biome areas, caves, ores, structures, animals and monsters.

Are the residents with "(KI)" real players?

No. Goblins and Shroomlings with “(KI)” in their name – German for “AI” – are AI residents. They chat with you, work and trade for Ruby. With /ki you set what they may do around you.

AI ResidentsThe AI residents on MegaBuild.de – who lives on the islands, how you talk to them, build trust and trade with them.

How do I get more Warpetts?

From Warpett eggs, which you find as loot in chests, barrels, decorated pots and suspicious sand or gravel. An egg hatches in 10 minutes, on crying obsidian in 5.

WarpettsWarpetts on MegaBuild.de – little creatures that eat you and spit you back out somewhere else. Flower networks, Warpett eggs and young Warpetts.

Are there clans?

Yes. With /clan you found a clan or join one – with clan chat across every server, visits to each other’s islands, a weekly task and ten clan levels. Everything about it is under Clans.

Can I look around other players' islands?

Yes. On an island, /sky → Travel or /sky visit opens the travel menu with the open islands and your friends’ islands. If you have no access there, you only watch: looking around yes, breaking, building and opening no. You set who may watch on your island under /sky → Members → Watching.

Travel & WatchingVisit other islands – through the travel menu, as a fellow player or as a spectator – and what spectators may do there.
