How to Progress Through the Modified Story Advancements in SkyBlock

The mod rewrites the vanilla Story tab so its goals match what you can actually reach on a floating island. Instead of "get wood, craft a pickaxe, mine stone," the chain now assumes you start with nothing but a tree and a chest.

Reading the New Chain

Open the Advancements screen and switch to the Story tab. Each node now asks for something obtainable from your island: harvesting your first log, crafting a crafting table, producing cobblestone from a generator, and so on. Hover each locked node to read its requirement before you commit resources to it — some ask for a specific block placed or a specific mob killed, not just an item in your inventory.

Working the Chain Efficiently

• Follow the arrows rather than jumping ahead; several later nodes only unlock once their parent is granted.
• Keep a small stockpile of common intermediates (planks, cobblestone, string) so you can satisfy a node the moment it appears.
• When a node stalls, check whether it needs a *placed* block or a *crafted* item — the two are not interchangeable.
• Use the advancement popups as a checklist: if you are not getting popups, you are working on the wrong branch.

Because the tree is linear in places, clearing one node often reveals two more. Treat the tab as your quest log and let it dictate what to build next.
