Island Protection

Island protection ensures your island remains safe from unwanted interference by other players. Below is a breakdown of what guests can and cannot do when visiting an island.

🛡️ General Protection

The island system includes built-in protections to keep your island safe from environmental damage and griefing:

  • 💥 Creeper Explosions: Disabled — creepers cannot damage blocks or harm your island.
  • 🧱 Enderman Griefing: Disabled — endermen cannot pick up or move blocks.
  • ⚔️ PvP: Disabled — players cannot damage each other on islands.

These protections are always active and do not require any configuration.

🔒 Guest Restrictions

Guests (non-members of your island) have limited permissions to prevent griefing or abuse:

  • ❌ Block Placement & Breaking: Guests cannot place or break any blocks.
  • ❌ Item Pickup & Drop: Guests cannot drop or pick up items on your island.
  • ❌ Villager Trading: All forms of trading with villagers are disabled for guests.
  • ❌ Container Access: Guests cannot open:
    • Chests
    • Shulker boxes
    • Barrels
    • Hoppers
  • ❌ Interaction Blocks: Guests cannot use or interact with:
    • Buttons & Levers
    • Pressure Plates
    • Beds
    • Anvils
    • Brewing Stands

⚔️ Guest Combat Permissions

Guests can kill monsters that spawn on your island. However:

  • ❌ Guests cannot attack any non-monster entities, such as:
    • Villagers
    • Animals
    • Iron Golems
    • Armor Stands

  • ✅ Zombie Villagers are considered monsters, so guests can attack and kill them.

  • 💰 Loot Rules: They will only receive monster drops if Drop2Inv is enabled.

    • ✅ With Drop2Inv: Loot goes directly to the guest's inventory.
    • ❌ Without Drop2Inv: Loot drops on the ground, but guests cannot pick it up.

You can toggle this setting at any time using the /drop2inv command.

💡 Tip

If you're playing with friends, you can add or remove players from your island using the /coop <nickname> command.

To make your island private (restricted only to you and your members), you can toggle the privacy setting from the island menu.
