Island Flags
Flags are island-wide toggles that control what happens inside the protected area — separate from roles, which control what members may do. Flip them in /is settings (requires the TOGGLESETTINGS permission).
The Flags
| Flag | Default | When ON |
|---|---|---|
PVP | OFF | Players can damage each other on the island |
MOB_SPAWNING | — | Hostile mobs spawn naturally |
CREEPER_EXPLOSION | OFF | Creeper explosions damage terrain |
TNT_EXPLOSION | OFF | TNT explosions damage terrain |
FIRE_SPREAD | OFF | Fire spreads from block to block |
VISITOR_INTERACT | OFF | Visitors can use doors, buttons, etc. |
Plus the Visitors toggle (the island lock), which decides whether non-members
can visit at all — also controlled by /is lock.
Toggling Flags
In game:
/is settings
Then click a flag button to flip it ON/OFF. Each shows its state via a placeholder
like %skyblock_flag_pvp%.
Placeholders
Every flag is exposed through PlaceholderAPI:
%skyblock_flag_pvp%
%skyblock_flag_mob_spawning%
%skyblock_flag_creeper_explosion%
%skyblock_flag_tnt_explosion%
%skyblock_flag_fire_spread%
%skyblock_flag_visitor_interact%
%skyblock_visitors%
These resolve even on servers without PlaceholderAPI installed, so the menus always show the right state.
Flags vs. Roles
| Flags | Roles | |
|---|---|---|
| Controls | Island-wide behavior (PvP, explosions, fire...) | What each member can do |
| Scope | The whole island | Per-member |
| Set with | /is settings | /is role + roles.yml |
Use flags for "no TNT on my island"; use roles for "this person can't open my chests."
