How to start an island on CarbonNetwork Skyblock
Your first evening on CarbonNetwork’s Skyblock server: making an island, the island menu, and getting home, to friends’ islands and back.
Easy2 min read
Everything here starts with /is. /island and /islands do the same.
Make your island
/is pick a starting island
/is name <name> name it later if you like (3–16 characters)
The picker offers a Normal, Mycelium or Desert island. Right-click one to preview it first. You land on your new island as soon as it's made.
A new island comes with a Cobblestone Minion and an ore vein. They go straight into
your inventory, or wait in /rewards if it's full. See Minions and Ore veins.
The island menu
/is panel the island menu
/is takes you home (or opens the island picker if you have no island)
/is panel is the one to remember. Every tile opens something:
| Tile | What it does |
|---|---|
| Teleport | back to your island |
| Island Members | your team, their roles, kick or promote |
| Island Settings | mob spawning, fire spread, crop growth and the rest |
| Island Permissions | what each role (and visitors) may do |
| Island Upgrades | slots, border, generator, crop growth. See Upgrades & level |
| Top Islands | the leaderboard |
| Island Counts | every block on your island |
| Island Chest | a shared chest for the team |
| Island Visitors | who's on your island right now |
| Island Biomes | change the biome |
| Island Disband | deletes the island. Asks you to confirm |
Want plain /is to open this menu instead of taking you home? Run /is toggle panel once.
Getting around
/is home your island
/is sethome move your island's landing spot to where you stand (owner and Admins)
/is visit <player> someone else's island (the island's name works too)
/is warp <warp> one of your island's warps
/is warp <player> <warp> a warp on their island
/spawn the spawn island
Every island trip has a short countdown. Moving cancels it.
You can visit any island that's open. An owner can close theirs with /is close, and
ban you from it. See Your team.
Falling off
Falling into the void doesn't kill you. You're put back on your island.
Items and animals you drop over the edge aren't lost either. They land in your void net.
Your own homes
/homes your home book
/sethome [name]
These are your points, separate from the island's landing spot. See Server basics.
Where to next
- Place your minion and your vein.
- Sell cobblestone with
/quicksell. See Money. - Buy minion slots in Island Upgrades.
- Invite a friend:
/is invite <player>.
