We already know the next update will add the nether, at least most likely. It would be unfortunate if it turned out to be underwhelming. With 1.16 we could have 5 nether island dimensions, some crazy bartering. Dungeons and bosses too.
Yo i totally under stand how itd be a lot of work to do this, and how it would rreally cut down the player base. Would it be possibile to design the nether islands to look similar to the new biomes that will be in 1.16?This type of update requires an unreal amount of time dedicated to it, it'd also cut out a huge portion of the player-base from playing it as they are on other versions, people like to pop in and out of Skyblock and having to switch versions would personally stop me from ever going into it, it's just segregating our community even further.
Due to the reasons listed I believe it would reduce the overall player count of the game, yes it'd probably be more fun but if it stops players from playing then is it really worth it? That's just my take on it. I do agree it'd be fun but there are other factors to consider here.
I'm not saying that it wont, but we dont know that for fact. I as a player would have the enthusiasm to play Skyblock on 1.16, but swapping versions for me to constantly flick between Skyblock & other games would be a big pain, some people are also obsessed with their customization they use for everything i.e mods & textures and these would be obsolete on new versions as well.It could also be the unique exciting feature cubecraft needs to sell the idea it’s a great skyblock server and get new players. Story I’d argue that if people wont rven change their version to play skyblock then maybe they aren’t enthusiastic enough to play it long term anyways
I get the hard work part but I also cast doubt on the cut down on the playerbase part.
I agree with this, however. I am personally more enthusiastic with the newer versions and the effort that goes into them.I'm not saying that it wont, but we dont know that for fact.

This is a huge risk, it requires a lot of research before deciding if it's the best move.
