Server Guides » One Chest Skyblock Guide
One Chest is a skyblock server where everything you own comes out of a single chest on your own island. This guide covers your first hour, every chest upgrade, both leveling tracks, and the commands worth knowing.
Getting started
Join the network at play.performium.net and hop to One Chest. Your island is created for you the moment you arrive, so there is nothing to set up. You land in the void on a small platform with one chest on it.
That chest fills itself with items on a timer, whether you are standing next to it or not. A hologram above it counts down to the next collection and shows how much is waiting. Open the chest and press Take everything to move the contents into your inventory.
There is no nether and no end. Everything you need comes out of the chest.
The chest, and how it grows
Items you take out can be sold back into the chest for chest experience, which raises your chest level and pays out upgrade points. The chest only buys back items it gave out, so there is no way to launder outside loot through it.
Spend upgrade points on the Chest upgrades screen:
| Upgrade | What it does |
|---|---|
| Unlock slot | Adds another item slot to each collection |
| Bigger stacks | Raises how many of an item can come up at once |
| Better items | Raises the item quality tier the chest can roll |
| Luckier | Makes the better tiers come up more often |
| Worth More | Raises what everything sells for |
| More Room | Banks more uncollected loads while you are away |
| Quicker | Shortens the timer between collections |
| Collect Everything | One press empties every banked load instead of one |
| Chest Helper | Hires a worker that collects the chest for you while you are on your island |
| Minion auto-sell | Your helper sells what it collects, paid out at your next collection |
Left-click the chest to see your full status - level, progress, points, slots, stack size, quality tier and everything you own - without taking your load.
Block sets
Block sets decide what your chest actually collects. There are thirteen of them - Overworld, Ocean, Jungle, Desert, Nether, The End, Winter, Swamp, Garden and more - and they unlock as your chest levels up.
- You choose which unlocked sets are switched on, up to a cap that grows with you.
- At least one set must stay switched on.
- Right-click a set to see exactly which blocks it contains and what each one sells for.
Two levels to climb
Progress runs on two separate tracks, and they reward different things.
- Island level rewards building, and each level asks for more than the last. Island levels unlock bigger island sizes, which you claim from the Island upgrades screen.
- Your level climbs at the same steady pace for everyone, no matter when you joined. Each level pays perk points.
Perks are permanent and personal to you:
| Perk | What it does |
|---|---|
| Speed | Move faster on your own island |
| Void protection | Keep your items when you die on your island |
| Better Drops | Your own draws favor higher tiers |
| Sell Bonus | Your own sales earn more |
| Open Bonus | Bonus player experience when your collection opens |
| Warp Points | One more teleport point on your island per tier |
| Member Slots | One more friend can join your island |
| Quest Slots | One more daily quest each day |
| Mob Limit | One more creature can be alive on your island at once |
Quests and the daily streak
The Quests screen holds daily goals, weekly goals and one-time milestones - bank collections, sell items, place blocks, open your chest, buy upgrades, kill hostile island creatures, earn cash. Each one pays into either the island track or the player track.
Clear every daily quest in a day and your streak grows, paying a bonus on top of each clear. If you miss a day, you can spend perk points to restore the streak you had.
Cash, the villager and the void auction
Collecting and selling earns cash, which is separate from chest experience.
- The villager's shop sells a rotating handful of items for cash. It sells out and restocks with the next day's quests.
- Items that fall into the void are not gone - they collect into a shared pool. Every so often a sealed lot from that pool goes up for bidding in the void auction. Nobody knows what is inside it. Bid with /bid, or click the bid button in chat.
Fighting
PVP is off everywhere except the arena. Challenge someone with /duel challenge, both of you betting the same amount of cash. You each vote for a kit, and the winner takes the pot.
Visiting other islands
The Leaderboard screen ranks islands by how far they have advanced. Any island that is open to visitors can be clicked to travel there.
To open your own island, stand where you want visitors to land and type /island visiting on. Turning it off does not eject anyone already there - it only stops new arrivals.
Protecting your island
The Island protections screen lets you decide what is allowed on your island - fire spreading, fire burning blocks, fire being lit, crops being trampled, endermen stealing blocks, and coarse dirt tilling. Some protections are set for the whole server and cannot be turned off.
Phantoms are switched off permanently on One Chest, so you can build all night without sleeping.
Crates and voting
Five crates stand at spawn: Cosmetic, Mega, Vote Reward, Vote Party and God. Every key is virtual, so there is nothing to lose from your inventory and nothing to duplicate.
- Vote on any of our sites, then type /votereward in game to claim your keys. Every single vote earns a Vote Reward key.
- When the network hits 100 votes in a day, everyone online gets a Vote Party key.
- The Mega Crate carries the current seasonal collectors set. When the season changes, so does the loot.
