Wormholes

[edit | edit source]
A Wormhole under a bridge near the spawn area.

Wormholes are purple particle rings that can be seen in the Lotus Atoll and Crimson Isle while wearing Froggles Froggles, Silver Froggles Silver Froggles, Golden Froggles Golden Froggles, or Diamond Froggles Diamond Froggles. While fishing in them, players have a chance to catch the Reality Hopper Reality Hopper Trophy Frog. Higher tier Froggles and the Geometric Oddity Geometric Oddity also grant Trophy Chance and higher chances at GOLD and DIAMOND Trophy Frogs.

Additionally, fishing inside a Wormhole prevents Sea Creatures from being caught.

Exploding Lily Pads

[edit | edit source]
A large lily pad right before explosion.

The water in the Lotus Atoll not only contains Lily Pad Lily Pads placed as blocks, but also lily pads that can be punched around on the water. If two Lily Pads of different sizes get close together, the smaller one will be absorbed by the larger one, which also increases the size of the larger Lily Pad. Once a single Lily Pad reaches size 8, it will float into the air, spin, and then explode. The explosion grants the following rewards to all players within 30 blocks who interacted with the Lily Pad (including merged Lily Pads) during the past 180 seconds:[1]

After a Lily Pad explodes, 3-5 Lotus Sea Creatures spawn based on the sum of the participating players' Tracking (up to 400 [Confirm]). Each Sea Creature targets a random participating player.[1] There is also a 50% base chance to spawn a A sprite icon representing Flipflopper in Hypixel SkyBlock Flipflopper and a 25% base chance to spawn A sprite icon representing Seashine in Hypixel SkyBlock Seashine, which can be increased by the participants' Tracking.

Lily Tracker Attribute grants Tracking on Exploding Lily Pads and Lily Puncher Attribute gives more force when punching them.

Hotspots

[edit | edit source]

Hotspots appear in water to grant buffs and new Sea Creatures when the player's bobber is within.

Weather

[edit | edit source]

    sum the tracking value of all online participants
    spawn 3-5 sea creatures as if a player with that amount of tracking (and no other stats) fished them up
    adds loot share eligibility to all online participants
    randomly assign participants as the owners of these sea creatures so they don't all beat up one person
