Hypixel SkyBlock is a unique version of the original SkyBlock game.
Overview
Hypixel SkyBlock is a game where players start on a Private Island with almost nothing and quickly start collecting resources, expanding their island, fighting monsters, creating farms, and much more. As shown below, there are many different aspects of SkyBlock and they each have their own unique form of progression. There is no right or wrong way to play, so have fun!
SkyBlock Menu
The SkyBlock Menu allows players to view their skills, travel to different locations, craft items, add accessories, and more. New players should spend time getting to know it as it will be essential to their progression in the game.
Collections
Throughout SkyBlock, many items have their own Collections. Each collection has its own designated item, each of which has multiple tiers. Some Collections have as little as 4 tiers and some range to 10+ tiers. Each tier has a requirement for total items collected that the player needs to obtain in order to unlock it. Rewards from Collections range from many things such as Skill XP, new recipes, Trades, the ability to use certain items, and more!

Minions
A Minion is a resource generator that is constantly active on a Private Island regardless of whether or not someone is on the island. To generate resources and Skill XP, Minions interact with the area around them by placing and breaking blocks, or spawning and killing mobs. This area is 5x5, however it can be extended via a Minion Expander.
By default you can only place up to 5 Minions on your Private Island at once, but this limit can be increased by crafting additional Minions. The level of a Minion determines its storage capacity and its speed, both of which can also be modified by Minion Upgrades. Each new island starts with a tier 1 Cobblestone Minion. Players can also interact with their Minions through the Minion GUI, as shown below.

Skills
In SkyBlock, most things fall into one of nine different categories: Farming, Mining, Combat, Foraging, Fishing, Enchanting, Alchemy, and Taming.
These are the main Skills. Most tasks award the player with Skill XP which is required to level up a Skill. Each Skill has anywhere from 25 to 60 different tiers. As the player unlocks more tiers, they are awarded with perks and rewards that can range anywhere from Coins, Stat Bonuses, and even unlocking new Islands!

Additionally, a player can also send Trade Requests to other players, which allows them to directly trade certain items and/or coins between players. For security purposes, players cannot trade while nicked. Please make sure to visit the Security Sloth in the Hub or visit the SkyBlock Security Measures page before trading between players.
