Island upgrades
/is upgrade (or /is panel → Island Upgrades). Click a tile to buy its next level.
Each tile shows what you have now, what the next level gives and what it costs. It's paid from the
balance of whoever clicks. Upgrades belong to the island, so everyone on the team gets them.
| Upgrade | What it raises |
|---|---|
| Minion slots | minions the island can place |
| Vein slots | ore veins the island can place |
| Void net | stacks the net holds, and whether it catches animals |
| Border size | how far the island reaches |
| Generator | which ores a cobblestone generator can make |
| Crop growth, Spawner rates, Mob drops | farm speed and output |
| Members limit | team size |
| Hopper limit, Minecart limit | how many you can place |
The three island upgrades that matter first:
| Start | Then | |
|---|---|---|
| Minion slots | 3 | 5 ($5,000) · 8 ($20,000) · 12 ($60,000) · 16 ($150,000) |
| Vein slots | 1 | 2 ($10,000) · 3 ($40,000) · 5 ($120,000) |
| Void net | 27 stacks | 54 stacks + 4 animals ($2,500) · 108 stacks + 12 animals ($10,000) |
What the owner's rank adds
Ranks add a little on top of the upgrades. It's the island owner's rank that counts, so the whole team gets it.
| VIP | VIP+ | MVP | Carbon | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minion slots | +1 | +2 | +3 | +5 |
| Vein slots | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 |
| Void net stacks | +27 | +54 | +81 | +108 |
| Void net keeps catches | 48 h | 72 h | 96 h | 168 h |
| Sell chests | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| Island size | +10 | +20 | +30 | +50 |
| Team size | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 |
| Island warps | +1 | +2 | +3 | +5 |
| Co-op players | +2 | +4 | +6 | +8 |
Without a rank the void net keeps catches for 24 hours and an island can have 4 sell chests.
Ranks never change speeds, odds or prices. /perks shows what yours gives.
If a rank ends and the island is over a limit, nothing is taken away. After 14 days the newest minions or veins over the limit just rest until you're back under.
Island level
Everything on your island has a worth, and your level comes from the total. Placing blocks raises it. Breaking them lowers it.
/is top Top Islands, ranked by worth
/is show [player] an island's level, worth and team
/is values what each block is worth
/is value the block in your hand
/is counts every block on your island
/is recalc recount your island (once every 30 seconds)
- Ore blocks are worth nothing. Blocks of iron, gold, diamond and so on are. Craft the ore into blocks before you place it.
- Minions, veins and sell chests count too.
- Your team hears it when the island levels up, and your level shows when someone hovers over your name.
- A higher level gets you a better meteor.
