Advanced Guides for BlockyMC

Ready for the Next Level?

If you've mastered the basics and want to push your BlockyMC experience further, this guide covers the advanced mechanics and hidden systems that separate good players from great ones.

Advanced Redstone Automation

BlockyMC supports all vanilla redstone mechanics plus a few custom additions. Here are the most profitable automated farms:

Iron Farm

Build a villager-based iron farm for a steady supply of iron ingots. A properly designed farm produces 400+ ingots per hour, worth roughly $8,000/hr at the shop.

Gold Farm (Nether)

Zombie piglin farms in the nether are extremely efficient. Use portal-based designs for the highest rates. Gold ingots sell well and can be crafted into golden apples for PvP.

Mob Grinder

A well-placed mob grinder at the right height gives you:

• XP for enchanting
• Gunpowder for TNT (mining)
• Bones for bone meal (farming)
• Rare drops worth selling on /ah

PvP Strategies

BlockyMC's PvP arena uses a custom combat system. Here's what the top players know:

Kit Optimisation

Helmet: Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending
Chestplate: Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending
Leggings: Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending
Boots: Protection IV, Feather Falling IV, Depth Strider III
Sword: Sharpness V, Fire Aspect II, Sweeping Edge III

Combat Tips

• Crystal PvP: Place end crystals on obsidian for burst damage. Time your hits between crystal placements.
• Shield Breaking: Use axes to disable shields, then switch to sword for damage.
• Potion Loadout: Always carry Strength II, Speed II, and Instant Health II splash potions.
• High Ground: Crits deal 50% more damage — always jump-hit when you can.

Economy Mastery

Market Manipulation

The auction house (/ah) is a real economy. Watch price trends over a few days before investing heavily. Common opportunities:

• Event items drop in price after events end — buy the dip
• Enchanted books spike on weekends when more players are online
• Building materials are cheapest on weekdays

Shop Plots

Rent a shop plot at /warp market to set up chest shops. Price your items 10-15% below the NPC shop to attract buyers while still turning a profit.

Endgame Content

Custom Dungeons

BlockyMC features 5 custom dungeons with increasing difficulty:

1. The Crypt (Easy) — Solo-friendly, drops rare weapons
2. Nether Fortress (Medium) — Requires fire resistance
3. End Citadel (Hard) — Party of 3 recommended
4. The Abyss (Expert) — Custom boss mechanics
5. Void Sanctum (Mythic) — Server's hardest content, exclusive loot

Each dungeon has weekly lockouts and unique loot tables. Mythic difficulty drops cosmetic items found nowhere else on the server.

• 5% permanent XP boost (stacks)
• Exclusive prestige chat tag
• Access to prestige-only crates
• Bragging rights
