Novidium is a simple skyblock server. Where you build an island, complete challenges and visit/build shops.
The server exists because of my own nostalgia for a server that existed 8 years ago. A skyblock server without quests, overwelming UI and tons of "new" features added with plugins.
However, sadly enough, most skyblock servers nowadays seem to be either an entirely different game, or completely vanilla. Novidium is somewhere in between.
Challenges
In this version of skyblock you can complete simple challenges (like get 64 sugar cane) to earn items otherwise unobtainable. For example dirt as a reward for sugar cane.
This makes those items rare, sure, but not as limited as in vanilla. It also gives a purpose to farming items. For example, the cactus challenge gives players sand. This means cactus farms are basically sand farms.
Economy
Another core part of the server is the player-to-player economy. There are (currently) no admin shops or "bazaars" on the server. All trading/buying/selling is done between players.
To sell items, players need to build a shop, physically on their own island. Shops are made with chests and signs, but making your shop look more appealing will of course attract frequent visitors.
Leaderboards
The main drive of the game (apart from challenges) are the 2 leaderboards.
-balance leaderboard (for the richest players)
-island leaderboard (for the highest level islands) <-- island level is calculated by the amount, and the rarity of blocks on your island
These leaderboards give you a long term goal, and make it easier for people to find islands (and the shops on those islands)
I know this server won't be for everyone, but it might be my favourite version of minecraft ever. So I hope others enjoy it as well.
