🏝️ WORLD GEN

Soul Nexus Sky Islands

Mysterious floating islands of soul energy, scattered across the sky — packed with rare resources.

☁️

High Altitude

Generate at Y=180+ above the clouds. Look up!

🔮

Soul Crystals

Covered with Soul Crystal blocks — mine them with a Diamond Pickaxe.

🏛️

Rare Structures

Some islands spawn with Ritual Pedestals and Revival Shrines already placed!

🗺️

Common Enough

Islands spawn frequently — about 1 per 15 chunks. Explore the skies!

🏗️ Island Composition

Block Role
End Stone Island foundation / terrain
Deepslate Rocky interior layers
Obsidian Structural core
Soul Crystal Surface decoration (mineable!)
Chests Randomly spawned with loot
Islands are a great source of free Soul Crystals — no crafting required! Just bring your Diamond Pickaxe.
🌀 TRANSPORT

Amethyst Portal

Build a portal from Amethyst Blocks to instantly travel to the nearest Sky Island.

Build the Frame

Use Amethyst Blocks to build a frame shaped exactly like a Nether Portal — 4×5 outer frame (2×3 inner space).

Ignite with Flint & Steel

Right-click the inside of the frame with Flint and Steel. The portal will fill with glowing soul energy!

Step Inside

Walk into the portal. You'll be teleported to the nearest Sky Island in seconds. ✨

🌀 Portal Features

  • Rich particle effects — soul particles, enchant glints, reverse portal swirls, and end rod twinkles
  • Ambient sounds — amethyst chimes and soft portal ambience
  • Instant teleport — scans asynchronously so the game never freezes
  • 🔒 Indestructible — portal blocks can't be mined
  • 💥 Frame-linked — breaking any Amethyst frame block destroys the entire portal
⚠️The portal scans for the nearest island with Soul Crystals. If no islands exist nearby, you'll get a message saying the magic faded.
❤️ CORE MECHANIC

The Lives System

Every player begins with 10 lives. Each death costs one life. Zero lives changes everything.

RITUAL

Activating the Shrine

Build a multiblock altar and place offerings on pedestals to channel revival energy.

🗺️ Altar Layout — Top-Down View

Place the Revival Shrine in the center with 4 Ritual Pedestals on the cardinal sides (N, S, E, W).

Place the Revival Shrine

Place the Revival Shrine block on the ground. This is the heart of your altar.

Place 4 Ritual Pedestals Around It

Place one Ritual Pedestal on each cardinal side of the shrine — North, South, East, and West (directly adjacent).

Place Offerings on Each Pedestal

Right-click each Ritual Pedestal with the required item to place it as an offering. Each pedestal holds one item:

🔮 Soul Crystal
🛡️ Totem of Undying
⭐ Nether Star
💎 Diamond Block
💡The order doesn't matter — any pedestal can hold any of the four items. Just make sure all 4 are placed!

Right-click the Shrine with Empty Hand

Once all 4 offerings are placed, right-click the Revival Shrine with an empty hand. The offerings will be consumed, a massive Golden Beacon erupts skyward, and the shrine becomes active!

Choose Who to Revive

A clickable list appears in chat showing all dead players (those with 0 lives). Click a name to begin the revival.

Revival Shrine Activated! Steve (Click to revive)
⚠️If any pedestal is missing an offering, the shrine will tell you what's still needed. All 4 items required!
