Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki has entered its fourth year of service! In our commitment to bring a better and unique experience to our readers, we are bringing some important updates today. Besides content-side improvement, we have dedicated a lot of time in researching, coding, reaching out to people, and exploring new frontiers, in order to evolve the wiki for the betterment of our readers and editors.

Since establishment, this wiki has seen editors with great vigilance and dedication at all times. This wiki is not just defined by its content, but the accumulation of work in the past three years, across generations of editors each contributing their part. We do not fear change, and we embrace each and every challenge - and that is the spirit that shapes this wiki. We have taken tremendous steps to reach where we are, and things we are going to undertake will be no less excellent.

Lastly, there would be no wiki if there were no reader or editor, and we are wholly grateful for the continuous support for the wiki, either by viewing articles or helping out. We will see many new features and improvement this year, and I hope more people that come to the wiki find this place useful and inspiring!

Full Collection Expansion
Challenges:
 * Recipe UIs will have a big impact on transclusion size. We think it is better to develop a more efficient API to display recipes later, than to recreate all the Recipe UIs at this moment.

Font Update
It all started when an editor pointed out several issues about the texts in our tooltips. After much research, we are finally able to bring the Minecraft font to display like in-game texts of Minecraft 1.8.9 (wiki standard). It can now display all glyphs available within 1.8.9, as well as all symbols and characters from other languages, as close as possible. (If you zoom in close enough, you'd notice some text shadows aren't exactly shown the same as 1.8.9; we may do something about it in the future.) The font is also highly optimized - we incorporated techniques to make it so that your browser only requests small files rather than large ones. Even though it supports 57,000+ glyphs, the update should have minimal effect your viewing experience.

Features:
 * All characters and symbols in tooltips and inline Minecraft texts are displayed the same as in MC 1.8.9
 * Realistic bold font and obfuscated text made according to in-game text
 * The displayed font is highly optimized and accurate to meet wiki standards

Infobox Generator
To make full use of the API to optimize editing, we created the Infobox Generator, and it is now available on Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki Tools.

Features:
 * Generate the Infobox and Essence Crafting based on an item name or ID
 * Now supports Armor!

We have plans to simplify more parts of editing in the future with the API - for example, Bingo Tasks and Mayor Elections. Please give us suggestions if there are tools you wish to have on this wiki.
