Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I download SkyblockAddons?

You can download the latest release here. If you want to view the patch notes as well, see the #releases channel in the Discord server.

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

Currently, the mod supports only 1.8.9. We are working to port it to 1.12.2 and 1.16 in the future. For now, you can use a fork such as this one for 1.12: https://github.com/Net-Coding/SkyblockAddons/releases.

How do I install SkyblockAddons?

Required: Minecraft Forge 1.8.9 - 11.15.1.2318 or higher

You need to download and install Minecraft Forge for 1.8.9 before you can install SkyblockAddons. For instructions on how to install it, see our Forge installation instructions.

Before installing, please check our Incompatible Mods List and remove any incompatible mods to ensure SkyblockAddons functions correctly.

  1. Download the latest version of SkyblockAddons from here.
  2. Open your Minecraft folder. If you are unsure how to do this, please see the "Locating .minecraft" section of this article or search on Google. If you chose a different folder for your Forge profile during the Forge installation, open that folder instead.
  3. Navigate to the "mods" folder.
  4. Move the SkyblockAddons file from your downloads into the "mods" folder.
  5. Start Forge and play Skyblock! 😄

My game is crashing, help!

There are a few common issues for this.

  1. Make sure you only have 1.8.9 mods in the mods folder. For example, if you leave in Optifine 1.12, it will crash. Please check and make sure there are no sneaky mods from other versions left in the folder.
  2. Make sure your mod files are all .jar files and are NOT extracted into folders with a program such as WinRAR.

I have a suggestion, where do I put it?

Please post it to our suggestions site. Before posting a suggestion, please make sure it hasn't been posted already. The most popular suggestions will eventually be looked at and added in a future update.

How do I open the SkyblockAddons menu?

You simply need to type the command /sba in chat. There is also a key binding (disabled by default) that you can set in the controls menu if you prefer.

I need help with Badlion’s SBA!

Unfortunately, our Bakerators are here to help with the Forge version of SkyblockAddons since Badlion’s (or other third party clients) isn’t ours.

Can you add this new crafting pattern to the mod?

Sorry, chances are if we didn't add it yet it just isn't allowed. Skipping things like corner slots is not natural client behaviour so we can't add these weird crafting patterns 😢

Why are some features disabled for me?

Some features, such as Don't Break Sugar Cane Stems have been disabled due to Hypixel admins' request. They most likely won’t be enabled again.

Is SkyblockAddons okay to use with the new Hypixel mod rules?

Yes, SkyblockAddons is still safe to use. We have disabled all the features that were disallowed by the new rules. These features have been disabled in all versions of the mod v1.3.0 and above. However, we recommend that you update to the latest release to get the latest bug fixes.

I am getting a "jopt-simple" error when trying to start Forge!

Have you tried launching normal (vanilla) 1.8.9 Minecraft before trying Forge? If not, make sure to do that first so everything downloads properly!
