God, the nostalgia from this video is hitting like a truck. Thanks again to HellCastle and Tyler, the creators that helped me, and, well, you reading this. I’ll always enjoy this game most when using it as a medium to do dumb things with friends, and this was by far the best experience I’ve had with the game. Thank you, really.
Also for the people asking why I no longer upload - it was a personal choice I made a while back, as I felt I was uploading more out of obligation then personal enjoyment. I still love this game and the friends I’ve made, and I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon - so hopefully I’ll see you around!
The Barry election truly was 1 of the most exciting periods to be in the Skyblock community. Thank you for documenting 1 of my favourite events in this game. I still can't believe I helped create such an impactful and beautiful chaos.
i choose to believe that the rift was ready since 2019 and the countdown was always tied to barry and people just delayed the update for 3 years bc his perks were bad
Perhaps it was created that a system (that later turned out to be mayor elections) would dictate when the update would be worked on/ released. @@HellCastleYT
-funny monkey has funny idea -gets everyone to vote shit mayor -mayor is actually pretty helpful -oh shit he unlocks an entire new area -forces players to slow tf down for once in their lives -epic
the nostalgia of this video. i havent played skyblock in almost 2 years because of school. i still remember meeting hellcastle in the end once. one of my best experiences in skyblock (also now i remember i never finished building my melon farm lmao)
it actually hits hard how people forgot about such a auspicious event. for me, it feels like it happened just last week! (i was one of the moderators in barryhub and that barry-countdown guy)
I like the rift. With the entry fee aside It throws most of skyblock’s flaws out the window and provides an experience that caters to most of the progression stages. My main issue with skyblock is that it barely caters to new players and it has stuff like blaze slayer which is only accessible to under 1% of the player base. But the rift? It’s both an exception and a gigachad step in the right direction for skyblock
A shower thought I had, the Rift is like real life. You have an amount of time to live, but if you take TOO MUCH damage, you are out before the timer hits 0.
the skyblock lore that probably no one cares about behind the rift: so, hub castle is the epitome of magic training in the realm and the islands aren’t yet separated, jythar the dragon emperor is invading everywhere with his dragon army and generals, mages have little time to prepare but set up a trap on top of mountaintop, jythar gets trapped in it, he makes a pact with magic itself or whatever as he’s really good at feel (death) magic and he’s been dead for a few hours now even, he lets out an ungodly burst of energy decimating everything near and letting him escape and even his dragon army weren’t spared tho the castle and mages did survive as they’re powerful, jythar wreaks as much havoc as he can in his final moments before dying and landing on what is now the crimson isle and this event is known as the calamity and it separated the skyblock islands, the calamity causes the breach on the hub to open and that’s it for what I know about the rift Lore that continues and is about m7 wither king: so, there’s this guy called Kaeman and he’s a really powerful mage or whatever, but his family died in the calamity and he wants to study fel magic to try revive them, over time the crimson isle becomes what it is now due to jythars body and the end corrupts because his heart which is imbued with fel magic is buried there (near the altar to summon dragons I think) and he sets up a research laboratory there secretly and for 7 years he studies fel magic before reviving his family, though they had no memory and do not require anything at all so they’re essentially zombies and after 3 years longer his laboratory is found by the council of mages or whatever on a routine search and they mutilate the bodies of Kaemans family and since Kaeman has nothing left, he goes to the altar at the end to sacrifice himself to Jythars heart, but since self sacrifice is the pinnacle of fel magic he is surrounded in a maelstrom of magic and his family’s bodies fuse with him, creating the first wither and the wither king. the wither king then immediately tries to take revenge on the castle, but is defeated and locked in the cage you can now see on the hub in the forest, fast forward like 20 years or smth and there’s a orphan called necron (yes, the necron we all know) and he’s taken in by the castle and after a few years of studying there, one of the forbidden scrolls that Kaeman made is slid into his dorm, necron becomes a helper for guarding the wither kings cage and at night, he routinely starts talking with the wither king and eventually he is given a scroll that can weaken the cage that the wither king is trapped in and let him escape, the. The wither king falls down into the catacombs making it look like an accident and taking necron with him from there, none of the stories about how the bosses arrived are interesting except the watcher, sadan, livid, lathrop (the watcher) tho I can’t be bothered so I’ll just tell the 0 people still reading that the watcher was forced to look at an orb and concentrate as he had abilities like that and always had visions, his limbs were eventually amputated and because of his abilities he was commissioned to make a orb that shows a replica of a world where the calamity didn’t happen and the wither king went to slumber for eternity to look at a world hell never have (when beating m7 ur killing a guy who just wanted to look at a false reality for eternity where his family wasn’t killed and mutilated and his dialogue confirms he doesn’t want to fight and wants to continue to stare into the orb) Also, why did you read all this? Tldr dragon emperor makes pact with magic and separates the island while opening the rift, Kaeman tried reviving his family from their death by the dragon emperor but after he does they’re mutilated by the mages and he becomes the wither king and makes the entire army at the catacombs to try get revenge and he doesn’t want to fight anymore
I don't usually watch skyblock youtubers. I'm not in any skyblock discords other than the one for my guild. I never got linked any videos or discord servers relating to Barry. But I was there, chilling in hubs, and any time anyone asked for help or advice regarding something, I would help them only if they changed their vote to Barry. I got like 10 people to switch, but history knows I did my part.
the fact that all this content was hidden away behind one mayor that everyone voted for as a joke is just crazy. hypixel skyblock got one of the craziest communities. who knows if there's something hidden that the devs are just waiting for someone to find.
There a bingo goal to break 250k wood with your fist. It might be a hint to tell that the foraging update might come soon like right after bingo event end or maybe this spring.
dang i remember the day that barry was first elected, i watched arithemonkey's video and logged on skyblock and everyone was hyped up. now we have a new dimension and more lore. thanks for bringing this memory back!
I got my account ratted almost a year ago now. It was awful to have happen but I'm thankful for it. It forced me to move on with my life and I've done so much since. It was a very fun point in my life, back when I was just a kid. I joined just after 0.7 The End so I would consider myself to by fairly OG in that regard. It's just a shame that the way I went out was from a rat. Ah well, what can you do?
I believe I joined in the very first days of Skyblock opening to non-ranked players in 2019, played for a few months before I got bored and went back to only doing housing and being one of the 3 people playing Galaxy Wars. Back then I was quite in the upper class of the non-tryharders having my own snow minion, but to be fair I mainly focused on building. Fun times to think of now, I don't play Minecraft anymore but that was an important era of my character development
You know who affected skyblock more? Technoblade. Brung millions of people to minecraft skyblock, and a broader scope of video games in general. Rest in peace, legend.
i haven't played Skyblock in a while (i remember playing like a year after release and then getting bored, dungeons didn't even exist yet and the ender dragon dropped cool armor or something) maybe i should give it a shot again
damn if all of this was caused by a skyblock player taking a shower, maybe more of them should take care of their general hygiene, but yknow, were talking about skyblock players after all
Mann you have just unlocked so many memories The barry hub server the poeple in there started my skyblocking carrier lol as I just got a Minecraft account
God, the nostalgia from this video is hitting like a truck.
Thanks again to HellCastle and Tyler, the creators that helped me, and, well, you reading this.
I’ll always enjoy this game most when using it as a medium to do dumb things with friends, and this was by far the best experience I’ve had with the game. Thank you, really.
no way it him
ITS HIM ITS THE MAN
its the man himself ari!

Also for the people asking why I no longer upload - it was a personal choice I made a while back, as I felt I was uploading more out of obligation then personal enjoyment.
I still love this game and the friends I’ve made, and I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon - so hopefully I’ll see you around!
Pog! If you ever make a video it's probably gonna be about breaking stuff
Thank you for giving Barry the recognition he deserves
I was in a lobby with testing star cult for the great spook hunt this year. Glad you still enjoy playing even if you dont upload
Yea we need to run more m7s where you do trap everytime for your defuse kit - greetings from Jaspischen(ruszmc now) xD
thats fine but my life lost meaning when i couldnt watch your vids when u deleted them
I like the part when Barry explains tax brackets
yes
Barry studied it in school obviously
I didn't expect I would learn how taxes work by skyblock. Best way to learn taxes.
I don't
No way it is ThirtyVirus!!
moral of the video:
the skyblock community would have been way better if they showered regularly
As someone active in the forums I can agree
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
That roast will burn harder than all try hard’s computers.
@@Frog_Of_ShameI severely doubt that.
It was a cool event to be a part of. Unfortunately I dare not break my NDA, Simon will make me disappear.
you will all be missed by players that have played alpha server as one of the most useful npc in the game
simon is gone now
?@@dreadwolf11
but it would be funny
The Barry election truly was 1 of the most exciting periods to be in the Skyblock community. Thank you for documenting 1 of my favourite events in this game. I still can't believe I helped create such an impactful and beautiful chaos.
r u a failure?
i choose to believe that the rift was ready since 2019 and the countdown was always tied to barry and people just delayed the update for 3 years bc his perks were bad
the countdown was there before mayors were :p
im honestly surprised they said nothing lmao, no hint though maybe posts or maybe buffing him or something
Perhaps it was created that a system (that later turned out to be mayor elections) would dictate when the update would be worked on/ released. @@HellCastleYT
-funny monkey has funny idea
-gets everyone to vote shit mayor
-mayor is actually pretty helpful

The craziest part of this video is a Skyblock player taking a shower

yes please give us a skyblock lore video because 99% of us would never read the diaries in the first place
Holy cow yes
yeah i stopped reading Dungeon Journals after the second one
I was high asf during my first time in the rift. I was so absurdly confused and slightly scared
its incredible how much skyblock players can achieve by taking a shower once in a while
the nostalgia of this video. i havent played skyblock in almost 2 years because of school. i still remember meeting hellcastle in the end once. one of my best experiences in skyblock (also now i remember i never finished building my melon farm lmao)

WOOOO I LOVE HELLCASTLE & TYLERRRR AND ARITHEMONKEY
Hello mr waffles
I'm not a Hypixel player, so I have absolutly no context for anything your talking about.
I like the rift. With the entry fee aside It throws most of skyblock’s flaws out the window and provides an experience that caters to most of the progression stages. My main issue with skyblock is that it barely caters to new players and it has stuff like blaze slayer which is only accessible to under 1% of the player base. But the rift? It’s both an exception and a gigachad step in the right direction for skyblock
thanks for the awesome content hellcastle! good to watch while sick
Man this was one of my favourite things to be a part off. The hype when it started working was legendary
The whole barry election was so fun to be a part of. Some of my best skyblock memories
2:53 wth Barry making me feel some type of way
This brings back so much memories, I remember joining the Barry guild (it is kinda dead now) and also giving people Barry's cloak on their skins
its always a good day when hellcastle uploades
A shower thought I had, the Rift is like real life. You have an amount of time to live, but if you take TOO MUCH damage, you are out before the timer hits 0.
This video is 🔥
Good job Hellcastle and Tylerrrr
We gotta thank that shower for giving ari the idea
Certainly a monumental skyblock event, rivaling even that of Dante's takeover. Very grateful for Arithemonkey's initiative!
the skyblock lore that probably no one cares about behind the rift:
so, hub castle is the epitome of magic training in the realm and the islands aren’t yet separated, jythar the dragon emperor is invading everywhere with his dragon army and generals, mages have little time to prepare but set up a trap on top of mountaintop, jythar gets trapped in it, he makes a pact with magic itself or whatever as he’s really good at feel (death) magic and he’s been dead for a few hours now even, he lets out an ungodly burst of energy decimating everything near and letting him escape and even his dragon army weren’t spared tho the castle and mages did survive as they’re powerful, jythar wreaks as much havoc as he can in his final moments before dying and landing on what is now the crimson isle and this event is known as the calamity and it separated the skyblock islands, the calamity causes the breach on the hub to open and that’s it for what I know about the rift
Lore that continues and is about m7 wither king:
so, there’s this guy called Kaeman and he’s a really powerful mage or whatever, but his family died in the calamity and he wants to study fel magic to try revive them, over time the crimson isle becomes what it is now due to jythars body and the end corrupts because his heart which is imbued with fel magic is buried there (near the altar to summon dragons I think) and he sets up a research laboratory there secretly and for 7 years he studies fel magic before reviving his family, though they had no memory and do not require anything at all so they’re essentially zombies and after 3 years longer his laboratory is found by the council of mages or whatever on a routine search and they mutilate the bodies of Kaemans family and since Kaeman has nothing left, he goes to the altar at the end to sacrifice himself to Jythars heart, but since self sacrifice is the pinnacle of fel magic he is surrounded in a maelstrom of magic and his family’s bodies fuse with him, creating the first wither and the wither king.
the wither king then immediately tries to take revenge on the castle, but is defeated and locked in the cage you can now see on the hub in the forest, fast forward like 20 years or smth and there’s a orphan called necron (yes, the necron we all know) and he’s taken in by the castle and after a few years of studying there, one of the forbidden scrolls that Kaeman made is slid into his dorm, necron becomes a helper for guarding the wither kings cage and at night, he routinely starts talking with the wither king and eventually he is given a scroll that can weaken the cage that the wither king is trapped in and let him escape, the. The wither king falls down into the catacombs making it look like an accident and taking necron with him
from there, none of the stories about how the bosses arrived are interesting except the watcher, sadan, livid, lathrop (the watcher) tho I can’t be bothered so I’ll just tell the 0 people still reading that the watcher was forced to look at an orb and concentrate as he had abilities like that and always had visions, his limbs were eventually amputated and because of his abilities he was commissioned to make a orb that shows a replica of a world where the calamity didn’t happen and the wither king went to slumber for eternity to look at a world hell never have
(when beating m7 ur killing a guy who just wanted to look at a false reality for eternity where his family wasn’t killed and mutilated and his dialogue confirms he doesn’t want to fight and wants to continue to stare into the orb)
Also, why did you read all this?
Tldr
dragon emperor makes pact with magic and separates the island while opening the rift, Kaeman tried reviving his family from their death by the dragon emperor but after he does they’re mutilated by the mages and he becomes the wither king and makes the entire army at the catacombs to try get revenge and he doesn’t want to fight anymore
Holy frick that took effort interesting ngl
So basically we’re killing a depressed guy over and over again for personal gain
Now how tf i m suppose to do f7 and m7 in peace with knowing that 😭
where did the dragon part come from
@@samuelt8825 cuz necron is plotting revenge while kaeman is peaceful necron and co are a threat
oh yeah baby hypixel tyler hellcastle video i love today hellcastle tyler
Hello mr clark
@@DiplomeMC i love arithemonkey
hello mr. ark
I love all of the hidden Arith E Money Easter eggs.
11/10. Firecracker solos
time stamps?
Me listening to this video, playing sudoku and hearing lithuania out of the blue, looking up in surprise
Are we gonna talk about the Barry at 9:15 named DickolusBallson.
The message of this video is that skyblock players should shower more
I finally got the answer to a question that I had for a long time. Good video 👍
i remember messing around on neu and finding the silkrider sfter belt 4 months or so before the rift was introduced using its item finder feature
I don't even play skyblock anymore but I still like watching this stuff. Great job, as usual
You should definitely do a dungeon lore video. I have a wall of picture frames with every dungeon journal I found. Will help if needed
This was one of the skyblock moments of all time
I don't usually watch skyblock youtubers. I'm not in any skyblock discords other than the one for my guild. I never got linked any videos or discord servers relating to Barry.

3:20 Probably secured a spot on watchlist with this single message 🕵♂
Hypixel staff capitalising on barry's trend : yes
this video gave me motivation to play skyblock again
i quit the game a year ago but I still love these videos, keep up the good work!
Impressive how deep hell castle is inside of us and filling us up with his warm liquid joy.
Yes
bro forgot to go onto his alt
wtfrick HOME - Tides is an absolute banger of a song. Ty for putting me on
ari by far has the most power in skyblock

10:35 That is wrong, as you have community ranks granting you up to like 20 votes per person, so realistically 200k people voted for Barry
Man i remember when this had happened, fun while it lasted
this is not your average youtube video .... its a documentary for the next generations of skyblock players ._.
I got my account ratted almost a year ago now. It was awful to have happen but I'm thankful for it. It forced me to move on with my life and I've done so much since.

TWO OMORI REFERENCES???!!!!=D =D =D =D
Technoblade to arithemonkey from heaven : you have done me proud, son
Title should be "The Monkey who changed skyblock forever"
Hypixel skyblock is Minecraft's biggest MMO"RPG"
thank you for reminding me why i play this game
The summoningsalt of Skyblock 🗣️🗣️
22:03 Development for the rift began in
i haven't played Skyblock in a while (i remember playing like a year after release and then getting bored, dungeons didn't even exist yet and the ender dragon dropped cool armor or something)
maybe i should give it a shot again
Sky block really just said “let’s see how long it takes for our players to do something stupid”. Didn’t take the players too long 💀💀💀
I managed to get this message out but I don’t have much time…
Barry trapped me in the Rift. Help.
So he made a politcal party?
damn if all of this was caused by a skyblock player taking a shower, maybe more of them should take care of their general hygiene, but yknow, were talking about skyblock players after all
Is THIS other Barry, that Barry the cyborg always talked about?
I haven’t played skyblock for a year now and this video just randomly showed up
I’m thinking about getting back to hypixel sb tbh
only 3.5k hours? wow ig im addicted
Dragoon's always being Dragoon 😂
i completely forgot that the rift was related to electing barry
Love your vids man keep it up!
why do i want a skyblock anime so bad rn
"do you need some magic or a dungeon carry?"
A true shower thought
we do not talk about the marina image
the only troll that was beneficial
Lore of The Man who Changed Skyblock Forever momentum 100
im proud to say that i have arithemonkey added on clash royale since barry was mayor
this is the true definition of shower thoughts
DAMN this game is _still going?_
Dragoons response is a very dragoon response
Damn the lithiunian one. I am lithiunian
Now imagine if all skyblock players took showers
love the home deep cuts
if time travel ever gets invented i know where to go first >:)
also hellcastle upload pooooooooooooooog
ULTRAKILL MENTIONED
this just shows why you need to think about dungeons when showering.
I prefer the vanilla/modded skyblock experience.
Mann you have just unlocked so many memories The barry hub server the poeple in there started my skyblocking carrier lol as I just got a Minecraft account
Well, still procrastinating vamp slayer talis
18:51 texture pack ?
Yo upload that's crazy
WE LOVE ARI THE MONKEY /ah arithemonkey
i agree with this statement (unbiased)
this is the most true statement
Hi
Please do make a video on the hypixel lore
I find it funny you weren’t even fighting your own vamp boss
"Except more purple"

i remember voting on him since he has most of the votes lol
