I quite enjoy Skyblock, and I like the new stacking features and the new blocks and all. But I just can't stand the chunk width, how little the mob drops actually sells for now and how it feels a lot... I don't know, messier than season 7.
Season 8 is great, yes, but it's also broken. Far more broken than season 7 was when it started. Not to sound pessimistic, but you'd expect the arrival of a new season to be the clearance of bugs, but there are still features missing and things that stopped working.
