Your starter island
When you first join, you're given a small island with a tree, a chest of starter materials, and a basic layout to build from. Classic Skyblock progression: grow your way up from limited resources, expand the island, and earn money to buy upgrades.
What's different from SMP
Skyblock shares most of Sunrise's systems with SMP, but a few things behave differently:
- Your "world" is your island. There's no
/wildor open terrain to roam — your island is your domain. /sell handand/shopstill work the same way for converting materials to money.- Telekinesis enchantment (mined drops go straight to inventory) works the same as on SMP, but it's especially handy on Skyblock for cobble/stone generators.
- Auction house works the same on Skyblock, and Bedrock players can now use it too (just like on SMP).
- Vote rewards are smaller (3 sites vs SMP's 4), but the daily routine is the same.
First-day checklist
This guide is a starting point — more strategy to come. If you have early-game tips you want added, message a staff member.
A reasonable first-day arc:
- Don't fall off your island. Seriously.
- Plant your starter tree and harvest it for more saplings.
- Open your generator menu with
/island generator— every island starts with a free Cobblestone Generator, and you unlock better ones as your island level climbs. See Leveling Your Island, Generators, and Biomes for the full ladder. - Run
/voteand hit all three sites for your first Vote Key. - Use
/sethomeon your island so you always have a quick way back.
Useful commands on Skyblock
Island management runs through the /island control panel. The general commands below also work:
/island open your island control panel (alias: /is)
/level check your island level and score
/sethome <name> mark a return point
/home <name> teleport to it
/spawn go to the public spawn area
/vote open the vote sites
/balance check your money
/sell hand sell what you're holding
/ah auction house (Java + Bedrock)
For general commands (homes, economy, voting), see /servers/smp/commands — those work on Skyblock too. Island management and progression use the /island control panel, not the SMP claim commands.
What's next
Once you've got the basics:
- Make money the same way as on SMP — see Making Money on SMP. Most of it (farms, voting, shops, AH) translates directly.
- Expand your island by building out further and raising your island level. Your BentoBox protection range is a fixed size — there's no GriefPrevention, golden shovel, or claim-block purchasing here. What your island level unlocks is better generators and new biomes; see Leveling Your Island, Generators, and Biomes.
- Set up a shop to sell to other Skyblock players. See Setting Up a Player Shop.
