Your First Island
This page walks a player through creating an island and getting started, step by
step. Every command below uses the default name /is — your server may have
renamed it (see config.yml).
Step 1 — Create Your Island¶
If your server offers multiple island types (schematics), pick one:
The plugin builds your island and teleports you to it. The first player on the island is the owner.
One island per player
A player owns one island at a time. To start over, delete the current one with
/is delete first.
Step 2 — Look Around¶
You're standing on your starter island. A colored border marks how far your protected area reaches. Outside the border, nothing is protected.
Open the main menu any time with:
From here you reach settings, upgrades, warps, the bank, and your team.
Step 3 — Invite Your Friends¶
Steve runs /is accept to join. New members get the default member role.
Change anyone's role with:
See Roles & Permissions for what each role can do.
Step 4 — Start Leveling Up¶
Your island has a level, raised by the value of the blocks you place. Mine cobblestone, smelt ores, build with valuable blocks — every block placed adds points (breaking it removes them).
Check your progress:
What each block is worth is in block-values.yml, and how points become levels is in levels.yml.
Step 5 — Buy Upgrades¶
As your level rises, you unlock upgrades:
Bigger team, bigger island, faster spawners, double crops, and better generators that roll ores instead of plain cobblestone. See Upgrades.
Step 6 — Open Up to Visitors¶
Set a public warp so people can find your island:
Anyone can then reach it with /is warp <your-name> shop or the warp menu. Lock
your island to visitors any time with /is lock.
