BentoBox

BentoBox is an expandable Minecraft plugin for island-type games like SkyBlock or AcidIsland.

About BentoBox

History

ASkyBlock and AcidIsland were originally created by tastybento. These two plugins were sharing the same codebase, which grew fastly but ultimately became hard to maintain. Poslovitch was running a Skyblock server before starting to contribute regularly on ASkyBlock's codebase.

Then came the idea of completely rewriting ASkyBlock. A turning point that would be called BSkyBlock. In May 2017, tastybento agreed to the idea, and Poslovitch and him spent more time developing the code of the plugin which would become BentoBox. During summer 2018, ASkyBlock's support got dropped and development was focused on the now called plugin BentoBox, which would then take over ASkyBlock and AcidIsland for 1.13+ servers.

Description

BentoBox introduces a unique Addon system and a powerful API which allows for a technically unlimited customization of the gamemodes. Therefore, BentoBox does nothing on its own: addons and gamemodes are bringing the features.

BentoBox being totally free and open-sourced, we are confident in seeing this platform grow and become even more powerful in the future.

Addons

These include some popular Gamemodes:

• BSkyBlock: the successor to the popular ASkyBlock.
• AcidIsland: you are marooned in a sea of acid!
• CaveBlock: try to live underground!
• SkyGrid: survive in world made up of scattered blocks - what an adventure!

And these include some of the official Addons that are bringing incredible new features, such as:

• Level: calculate your island level and show a top ten.
• Challenges: gives your players challenges to accomplish.
• WarpSigns: enables players to plant a warp sign and visit other player's islands.
• Biomes: enables players to change biomes on islands.
• invSwitcher: allows you to split inventories between the different gamemode worlds.
• VoidPortals: teleports to the dimensions by falling into the Void:
• MagicCobblestoneGenerator: generates any blocks in cobblestone generators.
• IslandFly: allows your players to fly on their islands.
• Limits: limits blocks and entities that your players can place on their islands.
• Greenhouses: enables players to make mini biome glass houses on their island.

And there are plenty of other official or community-made Addons you can try and use for your server!
