Social Update - Blocks, Voicemail & Keywords - June 2024
Hello everybody,
Today we're announcing the release of a social update, with three main components! Read on to find out more.
► Block System
As some of you might have noticed, the /ignore system has been replaced with a new /block system. All your previous ignores have been automatically converted to blocks, which should have the same effect as the previous ignore system!
The block system was created because we wanted to offer more functionality, which wasn't possible with the current backend of the ignore system. More importantly: You are now able to block players that are nicked. They will appear under their nickname on the block list until that nickname is no longer used by that player, at which point the name will update to their real username.
This system has been in the works for a while as it is important to us that you can hide chat and other interactions with players, even if they are nicked. Being nicked does not exempt you from the rules.
► Voicemail
When you're idling on our server, you may be moved to a place called Limbo. You being in this place saves server performance that we can then use for games and lobbies. In this place, you can still receive messages, but now with the new voicemail system, it will keep track of all your private messages you receive. Once you are no longer idle, you will be suggested to view those messages again that you may have missed. There are limits to how many messages are stored and for how long, but most players should not be affected by these limits.
► Chat Keywords
You can access this new feature by opening the settings menu (/settings), clicking "Chat Settings" at the top, and then you can find it in the bottom right!
If you encounter bugs, please report them here!
That's all for today! If you're looking for game update news, we've recently rolled the Mega Walls: Class Point Update!
Hypixel SkyBlock - 5th Anniversary
Hi SkyBlockers!
Today, we are celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Hypixel SkyBlock's release. It's been a long road since 2019, filled with many bumps and challenges. Yet, we are proud to say that five years after the initial release of this game, SkyBlock is still thriving! With the next five years, we aim to accomplish even greater things within Minecraft, but for now, we'd like to extend a special thank you to our players, the people who have kept this game alive for so long. Without you, Hypixel SkyBlock would just be a series of bad ideas in Jayavarmen's head.
As part of our celebration, there is an in-game 5th Anniversary Event for the next 7 days. Like in previous years, you can claim a unique reward from Simon in the SkyBlock Hub. This year, that reward is a special 5th Anniversary Balloon Hat. Try it on, and try not to float away!
Additionally, there is a 20% Skill Exp Boost throughout the event to help with that leveling grind.
Finally, our SkyBlock Build Lead has built a SkyBlock island out of LEGO. This detailed build of the starter island is a sight to behold! Check out Cheesey's video to see for yourself!
