Team & Permissions

Islands are built for teams. Invite friends or recruit strangers, give each member a role, and decide exactly what each role and every visitor may do. Open Island Members from the Island tab of the Server Menu.

Roles

Every member can always fly on their own island, whatever their role. See Flight.

Member slots

Every island starts with 5 member slots. Extra slots are bought in the Store (Store > Islands) and are added to your active island.

You can also reach these offers from Island Limits > Members. There is no upper limit on purchased slots.

Managing members

Island Members shows your slot summary (used, open and purchased) and every member. Tap a member to open Manage Member:

• Promote / Demote moves them one role up or down (Leader and Co-Leader).
• Kick removes them from the team after a confirm.
• Transfer Ownership (Leader only) makes them the owner. You become Co-Leader, and only the new owner can transfer it again.

Applying to an island

• Browse Islands lists recruiting islands, 20 per page. Hover one to see its level, members and each requirement marked [OK] or [X].
• My Applications shows each of yours as PENDING, ACCEPTED, DENIED or EXPIRED.
• You can't apply while you own an island, to a locked or full island, or twice to the same island.

Role permissions

Island Settings > Role Permissions (Leader only) has a toggle form for Co-Leader, Admin, Mod, Member and Visitor. The Leader always has everything. These are the defaults:

What you can change

• For member roles: build, break, break crops, interact, toggle spawners, doors, containers, mob damage, fight, ender pearls & chorus, fireworks, wind charges, invite, kick, ban, lock, set warp, delete warp, rename, bank deposit, bank withdraw, manage chest shops and quest shop purchases.
• Fixed to their defaults: promote, demote, configure visitors, configure roles, upgrade, level up, set home and manage minions.
• For visitors: build, break, break crops, interact, doors, containers, mob damage, fight, ender pearls & chorus, fireworks, wind charges and fly. By default visitors only have doors.

What counts as building or containers

Permission Zones

Zones are boxes you draw on your island that change visitor rules inside them: let visitors open chests only in your shop, or allow PvP only in an arena. Members always keep their role permissions. Open Island Settings > Permission Zones (Configure Visitors).

1. 1

   Get the wand

   Tap Get Permission Wand. Holding it previews every existing zone.

2. 2

   Draw the box

   Use the controls below. The preview is green when valid and red when not.

3. 3

   Save

   Press Use to create the zone.

4. 4

   Set its rules

   Open the zone > Edit visitor rules. Each rule cycles through Use island setting, Allow visitors here and Block visitors here.

• Visitors walking into a zone get a notice of what it allows or blocks.
• /is zones shows every zone outline for 30 seconds.
• A zone that overlaps another or reaches outside the island border is inactive. Delete it and redraw it.
• Zones can only be edited while the island is loaded.

PvP zones

If any active zone allows visitor Fight, fighting on the island only works when both players stand in the same fight zone. If no zone allows Fight, both players need the Fight permission where they stand. Fighting across two islands is always blocked. More in PvP.
