One Block

You start on a single grass block floating in an empty void. Everything you will ever own falls out of it.

A random item drops every few seconds. That is your entire supply chain. Wood, stone, food, ore, tools — whatever the block decides to give you, and nothing else.

Built for servers

This is the part most One Block packs get wrong: they give everybody the same island.

Here, every player who joins gets their own island, automatically, 10 000 blocks away from everyone else. No setup, no commands, no admin work. Someone joins, they get a fresh block in the void and their own item stream.

Fall into the void and you are put back on your island — not on someone else's.

What you get

Settings

/scoreboard players set #interval ob 60      drop interval in ticks (60 = 3 seconds)
/scoreboard players set #spacing ob 10000    distance between islands, in blocks

Installation

This needs a brand new world. The void world is created when the world is first generated, so it cannot be added to an existing map.

Server

1. Stop the server
2. Delete the world folder, or set a new level-name in server.properties
3. Put the .zip into <level-name>/datapacks/
4. Start the server — every player gets an island on join

Singleplayer

1. Create a new world
2. Drag the .zip onto the world-creation screen before pressing Create

Two editions

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.18 through 26.3 — this project covers a lot of ground. Pick the download that matches your version: 26.3+ for Minecraft 26.3, 26.1+ for 26.1 and 26.2, and the numbered downloads below that for everything from 1.18 to 1.21.11.
• Vanilla, Fabric, Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Folia, NeoForge — it is a datapack
• Server-side only. Players install nothing.

One thing to expect in singleplayer: Minecraft shows a one-time warning — "Worlds using Experimental Settings are not supported". Click "I Know What I'm Doing!". That is normal for any pack that changes world generation. Servers never show this.

What is new in the 26.3+ download

Minecraft 26.3 changed two data formats, and the old files no longer load on it — the server refuses to start. The 26.3+ download fixes that.

• Minecraft 26.3 is supported properly, release channel, not a pre-release guess.
• Two format changes ported: the minecraft:tag loot entry (name → items) and the predicate file key (condition → type). Both were read off the 26.3 server jar, not guessed.
• In-game messages are English now. They used to be German, which nobody outside one country could read.
• Game logic, drop pool and commands are unchanged.

Which one do I need? 26.3 → the 26.3+ download. 26.1 or 26.2 → 26.1+. The 26.1+ files now declare their real upper limit instead of claiming to run on anything, so the launcher will not offer you a file that cannot work.

Both editions were tested on a real 26.3 server: the void world generates, the island is built, the void rescue triggers below y=-5, and twelve out of twelve draws from the drop table produced an item. Nothing was assumed.

FAQ

Can I add it to a world I already play? No. The void world only exists if the pack is present when the world is created.

Do players need to install it? No. Server-side only.

Two players, one island? No — everyone gets their own, automatically.

Can I change how fast items drop? Yes, with the #interval command above. 20 ticks is one second.
