Chat

The SkyBlock chat: show off the item in your hand with [i], talk to your island alone with /is chat, and read players writing in another language, translated.

Three things the SkyBlock chat does for you: show off your loot without a screenshot, talk to your island without the whole server listening, and translate players who write in another language than yours.

Showing your item: [i]

  • Type [i] or [item] in your message. It’s replaced by the item in your hand: its name in brackets, in its rarity colour, followed by “x16” when there’s more than one.
  • Others hover over it and see its full tooltip: name, enchantments, description, attributes.
  • Empty hand: [i] stays as typed.
  • It works in the global chat and in your island chat.

Example: hold your best sword and type look [i].

Your island chat

  • /is chat <message> (also /is tchat or /is ic): one line for your island’s members, nobody else. It arrives with a little chime.
  • /is chat on its own: everything you type goes to your island, until you type /is chat again (or log off).
  • The “chat” lever on the members screen does the same thing, no command needed.
  • Every line starts with [Island] and the speaker’s rank (Owner, Co-owner, Member, Recruit). See ranks.

Automatic translation

The server speaks French, English and Spanish. Pick your language with /language (also /langue, /idioma) or in your island’s Settings.

  • A player writes in another language than yours: their message reaches you translated, with a small grey globe at the end.
  • Hover over it: “Automatically translated”, then the original message and its language.
  • If the message is already in your language, you read it as typed, no globe.
  • It works in the global chat and the island chat. Not in private messages.
  • A message holding [i] is never translated: the item has to arrive intact.
  • If the translation doesn’t arrive in time, you read the original: no line ever gets lost.

Tip: to talk to the whole island during a farming session, type /is chat once. Your messages stay between you, and your teammates from abroad come through translated.

Good to know

  • A player name or an island name can sometimes get translated along with the rest of the sentence.
  • Messages to translate go through an automatic translation service.
  • The rest of the game (menus, quests, Pompon) follows the language you pick too.
