SKY ISLANDS BLOCKS Map FAQ

Open your starting chest to find ice and lava, then build a cobblestone generator by placing lava above ice in a small pit. This gives you an infinite block source to build bridges and expand safely without wasting your limited dirt.

Punch the trees on your starting island carefully while standing on solid ground, and immediately pick up the wood blocks before they roll away. Consider building a small platform or fence around trees to prevent logs from sliding into the void.

Saplings can fall through gaps or roll off edges when they drop from leaves. Plant them in a contained area with walls or fences around it, or collect them into your inventory before planting to avoid losing them to the sky.

Use slabs instead of full blocks when possible—they're cheaper and still let you walk safely. Build in a straight line toward your target island and test each section before committing more materials, so you don't waste resources on a bridge that doesn't reach.

Explore the perimeter and high points of each island first, as chests are often placed in visible or elevated spots. Mark islands you've already searched so you don't waste time revisiting them.

Yes—falling into the void below the islands is instant death with no recovery. Always build railings or test new paths carefully, and avoid mining blocks directly under your feet.

Focus on wood, dirt, and stone first for basic building and tools. Once you have those, hunt for iron, coal, and any rare blocks on distant islands to expand your crafting options.

Your starting chest contains lava, which you can use in a cobblestone generator, but water must be found on other islands or created through specific setups. Explore thoroughly and check chests on mini islands for water buckets.

Keep your island well-lit with torches or other light sources, and avoid leaving dark spaces where mobs can spawn. Building walls and roofs over your base also helps contain the area.

Yes—as long as you've built a bridge or path to them, you can return anytime. This is useful for gathering more resources or checking for items you might have missed.
