Ranks, permissions and rules

Owner, Co-owner, Member, Recruit: the ranks of a SkyBlock island, what each one is allowed to do, and the rules and weather you set on your island.

On your island, you call the shots. Who can build, who can open the chests, who touches the factories, who can dip into the bank: every rank has its rights, and the owner sets them one by one. The island rules (combat, visitors, fire) and its weather are picked in the same place.

The four ranks

  • Owner: can do everything. The only one who gives ranks and sets their permissions, names the island and creates its warp.
  • Co-owner: the right hand.
  • Member: the rank of every player who accepts an invitation.
  • Recruit: for a newcomer whose rights you want to keep limited at first.

A player who isn’t a member of the island is just a visitor there: they can’t break or place anything.

Island settings

/is settings (also /is parametres, /is options), or “Settings” in your island menu. Inside you’ll find:

  • Rules: what’s allowed on the island.
  • Weather: your island’s sky.
  • Ranks and permissions: what each rank can do.
  • Members and ranks: your list of members. The owner clicks a member to give them a rank.
  • Banned players and the history: see Playing together.

To give a rank by command: /is rank <player> <recruit|member|coowner>.

Permissions

For each rank, the owner switches each of these levers on or off:

  • Place blocks, break blocks.
  • Open chests and furnaces; open the island chest.
  • Doors, levers and buttons; animals and entities.
  • Place and use factories; upgrade and pick up factories and spawners.
  • Level stacks.
  • Move the island home.
  • Buy upgrades; change settings.
  • Invite players; kick (lower ranks only); ban players.
  • Withdraw from the bank (anyone can deposit).

When a member tries something their rank isn’t allowed to do, the game tells them they’re not allowed to do that here.

Island rules

/is flags (also /is drapeaux), or “Rules” in the settings:

  • Player combat: on, everyone can attack each other on your island, visitors included. The game asks you to confirm, and warns anyone trying to come over.
  • Explosions: whether creepers damage your island.
  • Visitors: off, your island and your warp are closed to anyone who isn’t a member.
  • Fire spread and Leaf decay.
  • The border: shown or hidden, and its colour. See the island border.

Weather

Free, your pick: Always clear, Natural weather or Always rain. It only changes your island’s sky.

Tip: a recruit just passing through? Let them place, break and farm, but keep “Withdraw from the bank” and “Upgrade and pick up factories and spawners” switched off. They help out without being able to walk away with the treasure.
