Hey everyone! SkyRandom 1.2.0 brings Minecraft 26.3 support, lobby spectating, and fixes for player state and statistics. This release keeps Minecraft 26.2 compatibility and lets players waiting in the lobby watch an ongoing match. Obtainable new blocks available on a 26.3 server automatically join the existing random block pool.New
- Added Fog of War: Darkness limits visibility for all active players for 12 seconds. - Added Position Swap: two random active players exchange safe positions after a 3-second warning. The swap is cancelled if either player becomes ineligible or unsafe before it happens. - Added Minecraft 26.3 support while keeping compatibility with 26.2. - Obtainable new blocks automatically join the random block pool when running on 26.3. - Added a Watch the Match Ender Eye in lobby hotbar slot 8. - Players waiting for the next round can now spectate an ongoing match. Spectators use slot 2 to follow active players and slot 9 to return to the lobby. - Players who stay to spectate can participate in the next round.Fixes
- Fixed a real Darkness potion effect expiring or changing prematurely clearing Fog of War. The visual overlay retains its original 12-second deadline. - Strengthened Position Swap checks to exclude flying players even when their ground flag is stale. - Fixed original inventories being cleared or overwritten before their state was saved during lobby preparation when player restoration is enabled. - Improved restoration of player items, total experience, and exhaustion, with separate copies of saved items. - Fixed delayed lobby preparation interfering with players already in an arena. - Fixed Sudden Hunger restoring food after a player had left the arena or become a spectator. - Fixed inventory dragging bypassing menu and spectator restrictions. - Fixed competitive statistics being recorded during solo-test eliminations. - Empty arenas now reset immediately when the last player leaves. - Returning from spectator mode on a dedicated server restores lobby utility items, allowing players to spectate again.Improvements
- Batched statistics updates instead of rewriting the statistics file after every kill, death, or round update. - Moved statistics file writing to a dedicated background thread. - Added safe file replacement and a final statistics flush when the plugin stops.Notes
- Target server software: Paper and Purpur for Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3. Java 25 is required. - On 26.2, only blocks available in 26.2 can drop. On 26.3, obtainable new blocks join the same automatic pool with equal selection weight within that pool. - Rare Sulfur Cubes with primed TNT and a six-second fuse remain available. - Random Events and Shrinking Zone remain optional BETA modifiers. - Older 1.21.11 and 26.1.x servers should use older SkyRandom versions.1.2.0-beta.2SkyRandom 1.2.0-beta.2+73Jun 30, 2026 Hey everyone! SkyRandom 1.2.0-beta.2 is here with Minecraft 26.2 support and a new chaotic Sulfur Cube event. This update brings SkyRandom forward to Minecraft 26.2 and adds a new rare surprise during matches: a Sulfur Cube can spawn near a player with primed TNT already inside. If you see one appear, you only have a few seconds before it explodes, so move fast.New
• Added support for Minecraft 26.2. • Added support for Paper 26.2 and Purpur 26.2. • Added a rare explosive Sulfur Cube event. • A Sulfur Cube can now spawn near a player with primed TNT inside. • The TNT Sulfur Cube explodes after 6 seconds.Gameplay
• Matches can now become more unpredictable with sudden explosive Sulfur Cube spawns. • The new event is rare, but dangerous enough to change a fight or force players to move.Notes
• This version is made for Minecraft 26.2 servers. • Older 1.21.11 and 26.1.x servers should use older SkyRandom versions.1.2.0-beta.1SkyRandom 1.2.0-beta.1+63Jun 1, 2026 SkyRandom 1.2.0-beta.1
Hey everyone! Welcome to the first beta of SkyRandom 1.2.0!This update introduces Random Events, a new optional feature designed to make matches feel a little less predictable and a lot more chaotic. Some events can help you, some can make things harder, and some are just there to create funny moments.
Random Events can be enabled or disabled by the host before the match starts. If enabled, the first event can happen around 25-40 seconds after the game begins. After that, new events may appear every 45-75 seconds. When an event starts, you'll see a message like: Random Event: Low Gravity!New
Added optional Random Events (BETA). Added a host setting to enable or disable Random Events. Added the Mace to the ultra rare drop pool. **Added rare random enchantments for weapons and tools. Improvements** Weapons, tools, and Maces can now occasionally spawn with random compatible enchantments. Stronger enchantments are much rarer than weaker ones. Some items can rarely receive multiple enchantments. Lucky Drops can now reward more exciting enchanted gear.Events:
Added Low Gravity. For 15 seconds, everyone jumps higher and falls slower. Added Lucky Drops. For 10 seconds, drops only use rare loot groups. Added Resistance. All active players receive Resistance I for 15 seconds. Added Sudden Hunger. For 15 seconds, players gradually lose hunger. But don't worry! your original hunger level is restored when the event ends. Random Events are still in beta, so don't be surprised if some values change in future updates. This is the first public test, and your feedback will help shape the feature before the full 1.2.0 release.Thanks for playing SkyRandom, and have fun!
1.1.0SkyRandom 1.1.0May 21, 2026 Hey everyone! SkyRandom 1.1.0 is a big update with new arenas, a new optional Shrinking Zone modifier, and better tools for hosts.
This update adds three new arenas: Frozen Peaks, Crystal Cavern, and Trial Chamber, along with the new optional Shrinking Zone modifier. Each arena has its own style, while Shrinking Zone gradually reduces the playable area during a match and can shrink all the way down to 16 blocks in the final phase.

• Host map selection is now more visual and easier to understand. This is probably the biggest SkyRandom update so far. I wanted to get the update out today as planned, so some parts of Shrinking Zone are still marked as BETA and may change in future updates. Feedback and bug reports are always welcome!1.0.1SkyRandom 1.0.1May 14, 2026 Hey everyone!
