The Sky Block Challenge: From Dirt to Victory

TLDRIn this episode of Sky Block, we start with just an island of dirt and grass in the Void. Our goal is to beat the game, but first, we need blocks. We can obtain blocks through mining and crafting, but it's not easy. We start by getting snow blocks which require snowballs, acquired by being in a snowy biome and picking up snow layers. We also need mobs to spawn, so we create a platform and wait for zombies with iron shovels to spawn. Once we have shovels, we expand the platform and gather more snow. We repeat this process to get enough snow blocks for progression. Additionally, we discover that foxes can spawn with emeralds in their mouths, and we use this to get enough emeralds to trade with wandering traders for wood and saplings, unlocking more possibilities.
