How to Expand Your Island and Harvest the Lucky Tree

Starting out on a floating island over the void requires careful resource management before you can reach the surrounding structures and biomes.

Building Your Cobblestone Generator

1. Check your starting supplies for the materials needed to create a standard water-and-lava cobblestone generator.

2. Dig a trench on your starting dirt island so that flowing water and lava meet to form cobblestone without turning your lava source into obsidian.

3. Mine a steady supply of cobblestone both for building safe bridges over the void and for selling at the shop later.

4. Hold the sneak key while bridging outward from the edge of your island to avoid falling into the void.

Harvesting the Lucky Tree

1. Locate the floating grass island that holds the Lucky Tree, which is constructed out of lucky blocks rather than ordinary wood and leaves.

2. Bridge over to the grass island using the cobblestone you generated.

3. Place a platform or barrier around the base of the tree first so that any items dropped do not bounce off the edge of the island.

4. Break the lucky blocks making up the tree to trigger random bonus item rewards, collecting everything that drops to speed up your early-game progression.
