Points & Levels

An island's level is the heart of progression: it gates upgrades and decides its rank on the leaderboard. Levels come from points, and points come from the blocks placed on the island.

Points¶

Every block type has a point value in block-values.yml:

Place a block → its points are added to the island.
Break a block → the same points are removed.

Blocks not listed are worth default-value (0 by default — they give nothing).

values:
  DIAMOND_BLOCK: 2.5
  IRON_BLOCK: 0.6
  STONE: 0.01
  OBSIDIAN: 0.5

So a diamond block is worth 250× a stone block. Players climb by building with valuable blocks, not just lots of cheap ones.

Levels¶

Total points are turned into a level using thresholds in levels.yml:

requirements:
  1: 100
  2: 250
  3: 500
  4: 1000
  5: 2000
  ...

When an island's points cross a threshold, it reaches that level.

Automatic levels¶

Beyond the highest defined threshold, levels are generated automatically:

auto:
  enabled: true
  step: 8000          # base points added per new level
  multiplier: 1.15    # step grows by this each level

This means the curve keeps climbing smoothly forever — you don't have to hand-write hundreds of levels.

Seeing Your Progress¶

Command	Shows
`/is level`	Your current level and points
`/is top`	The server leaderboard
`/is block`	What each block is worth

Placeholders %skyblock_level% and %skyblock_points% are available through PlaceholderAPI.

How Tracking Works¶

Block placement and breaking are tracked live as players build, so points update in real time. Generators and crops that produce blocks count too — which is why the generator upgrade is such a powerful way to level.
