This guide takes you from the server list to your first upgrades on Celestial Skyblock. It takes about an hour to follow, and you can stop at any point.

1. Join the server

Open Minecraft Java Edition. Version 1.21.11 is recommended.
Go to Multiplayer, then Add Server.
Enter the address celestial-network.net and save.
Join, and if you land in the lobby, pick Skyblock.

2. Create your island

Type /island (or the short version /is) to create your island and open the island menu. From the same menu you can invite friends, change permissions and teleport home later.

Your island starts small. Everything you build, the upgrades you buy and your island value stay with the island, even when you log out.

3. Follow the tutorial

Type /quests. The Tutorial tab walks you through every main system one step at a time, and the Milestones tab shows your long-term goals for the season. There are daily goals in the same menu.

If you want to read about something before you try it, /codex has a short guide for each module.

4. Learn the Omni-Tool

Celestial gives you one tool for everything: the Omni-Tool. It is your pickaxe, axe, hoe, sword and fishing rod. As you use it, you level up five skills:

Skill	What you do
Mining	Break ores and stone
Logging	Cut trees
Farming	Harvest crops
Slayer	Fight mobs
Fishing	Fish in water

Check your levels with /skills. If you ever lose the tool, /tool gets it back.

5. Earn your first money

Gather resources with the Omni-Tool and sell them. /sell sells the item in your hand, /sellall sells everything sellable in your inventory, and /shop lets you buy and sell items. /bal shows all your currencies.

Two free things to claim early:

/daily is a free once-a-day minigame.
/vote lists the voting sites. Every vote gives rewards.

6. Upgrade your tool

Once you have some money and skill levels:

/enchants opens the enchanting station, where you unlock and upgrade custom enchants for the Omni-Tool.
/ascend moves the Omni-Tool to its next tier. Tiers go from Wood up to Netherite.

7. Try the rest of the season

After the basics, there is a lot more to explore:

Celestial Nectar (/nectar): a seasonal resource for Attunements and Starfall Expeditions.
Dungeons (/dungeon): private Classic and Endless runs with classes, relics and mutators.
World events: watch chat for Starfall meteor impacts, Region Bosses, Hourly Rushes and the Wandering Black Market (/blackmarket).
Island machines: automate parts of your island. Build them inside your island bounds.
Pets: companions with levels, Evolutions and charged abilities.
Battle Pass (/battlepass): seasonal quests with rewards.

8. Compete for Season Points

/istop shows the island top list. The top three islands each week earn Season Points, so a strong week can put a new island on the board. Season 2 started on October 31, 2026, so there is plenty of season left.
