[August 14] SkyBlock Patch Notes

Updated: August 14, 2025

Hello!

Today we have a quick patch with small changes to several areas of the game following the release of Hypixel SkyBlock 0.23.3.

  • Added "Daily Bonus" to the Forest Whisper replacement reward when HOTF is maxed.
  • Removed the conflictions between the "Sharpness" enchantment and mob-specific enchantments, such as "Smite".
    • Designer Note: Please note that this change may require additional balancing in the future, however we feel it's the most intuitive change to make following the introduction of mob types.
  • Removed the requirement to occasionally move while fishing to prevent yourself from catching nothing.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Woodsplitter" enchantment was an unknown Bazaar product.
  • Fixed an issue causing damage to not be dealt correctly to some ☽ Spooky mobs during the Spooky Festival.
  • Fixed an issue causing Scaffolding not to work while in shallow water.
  • Adjusted some HOTF/HOTM messages to say "Exp" instead of "EXP".
  • Adjusted the "Smite" enchantment to now also grant its damage bonus on Skeletal and Wither mobs.
  • Adjusted the Mob Types of several mobs to now match the below:
    • Abyssal Miner → Aquatic/Undead/Subterranean
    • Automaton → Subterranean/Construct/Arcane
    • Boss Corleone → Humanoid/Subterranean
    • Butterfly → Arcane/Airborne/Subterranean
    • Cellar Spider → Arthropod/Subterranean
    • Fire Eel → Magmatic/Animal
    • Fireproof Witch → Magmatic/Humanoid/Arcane
    • Ghosts → Arcane/Subterranean
    • Glacite Mutt → Glacial/Animal
    • Kada Knight → Animal/Undead
    • Key Guardian → Undead/Subterranean
    • Lava Flame → Magmatic/Infernal
    • Mimic → Arcane/Construct
    • Night Squid → Aquatic/Animal
    • Reindrake → Frozen/Shielded/Elusive
      • Designer Note: This is a weird case, since it's also airborne by nature. We may make it the first mob to be four types in the future - time will tell.
    • Rider of the Deep → Aquatic/Undead/Animal
    • Skeletor → Skeletal/Construct
    • Squid → Aquatic/Animal
    • The Loch Emperor → Aquatic/Skeletal/Arcane
    • Trash Gobbler → Aquatic/Arthropod
    • Wither Miner → Wither/Skeletal

    • Epic: 2,500 -> 2,000
    • Legendary: 5,000 -> 3,000
    • Mythic: 7,500 -> 5,000
    • Divine: 10,000 -> 8,000
    • Special: 12,500 -> 12,000
  • Adjusted point gain for Starlyn Contests,
