Sky Archipelago Mod FAQ

When creating a new world, select "Sky Archipelago" as your world type instead of the default world type. You'll then be able to customize island generation settings before entering the world, or use one of the preset configurations to get started quickly.

You can choose either—the mod lets you set the bottom layer to be a complete void for a true skyblock experience, or fill it with water or lava for a different survival challenge.

Use the island customization settings to adjust density (how close islands are to each other) and spacing, or set specific spawn chances for small, medium, and large islands to create your preferred distribution.

The mod generates islands in several shapes including classic flat tops, bowl-shaped islands, craters, and layered terraces—you can configure which shapes appear in your world.

The preset system lets you save your current configuration, and you can load any saved preset when creating a new world; you can also delete presets you no longer need.

Yes, the mod generates simple text codes for your custom settings that you can share with other players—they can import your code to recreate the exact same world generation.

The mod adjusts how structures spawn so they fit properly on the floating terrain without breaking or generating incorrectly.

Yes, you have full control over the exact height limits where islands are allowed to spawn in the sky, letting you create worlds with islands in specific altitude ranges.

The mod applies standard biome data to the islands, converting underground biomes into floating landmasses so you get proper biome features and vegetation.

Sky Archipelago works as a world generation type, so it's generally compatible with mods that don't conflict with world generation; however, mods that heavily modify terrain or structure spawning may cause issues.
