Updated 5 November 2026The One Block & phases
Break the block, grow through ten phases and see what each one brings.
How it works
- Your island is built around one block in the middle. Break it and it comes back as something new.
- What appears depends on your phase. Each phase has its own blocks, mobs and loot chests.
- Watch the action bar for Phase progress, shown as a percentage and a count. A message and a sound mark each new phase.
- Mobs spawn at the block as you break it, and chests appear in its place. Open a chest to loot it.
- Use
/phaseto see your current phase and block. The End is phase 10, the last one, and the phases do not start over.
