    Sky block challenge has you start on an island with just a tree and some simple items and you have to progress in a specific order. This player made obsidian before having anything to break it with when trying to make infinite cobblestone

      I don’t know too much about Minecraft and especially not Sky Block. But isn’t the implication also that they wasted their Lava by turning it into an Obsidian instead of using water+lava to create a cobble stone generator, thus softlocking their progress entirely?

        All versions of skyblock I’ve played have had a way to get lava from nothing but the starting tree, so it’s not a softlock just potentially tedious to get back to that point.

            That sounds better than starting with the tree and no chest, meaning you have to do stuff like collect rainwater in a cauldron you made by killing a lot of zombies.

            ALL VERSIONS OF SKYBLOCK I’VE PLAYED HAVE HAD A WAY TO GET LAVA FROM NOTHING BUT THE STARTING TREE, SO IT’S NOT A SOFTLOCK JUST POTENTIALLY TEDIOUS TO GET BACK TO THAT POINT.

      Oh funny. I’ve actually come across a streamer on Youtube doing this challenge. Didn’t realize it was a common thing.
