Starting Islands (Skyblock)

Your Island is your main area for farming, gathering resources and general storage. As you progress through the game, you are meant to progress your island and in turn your island is supposed to facilitate this progression. There are many different islands that you can start the server with each with different resources and themes. Regardless, while every island is different, they all come with a simple cobble gen as well as a chest containing some starter items.

#### Choosing your Starter Island

When choosing a starter island, you want to consider one thing; How can this island give me an immediate advantage. Most islands are entirely mined and redone in your own liking so it's good to consider the type of blocks used in its creation. The **Large Desert Island** and the **Large Mushroom Island** are contenders for the best island for this reason given the surplus of sand and dirt that they give respectively. If you aren't sure which you prefer, the **Large Coral Island** is nice as it gives access to both at the cost of having a large water lake that you may take a while to remove. If you don't care for sand or dirt for some reason, the **Candy island** is a great choice to get a quick ~$6500 at the beginning by selling the slime. More info on each of these and more below!

#### All Starter Islands

Bastion Island: A barren bastion island with no benefit whatsoever besides a singular piece of dirt. Don't choose this island

Large Bastion Island: A large version of the also incredibly barren bastion island jam packed with ever more nothing!

Candy Island: And interesting island with not many upsides besides a giant teddy bear made of Slime blocks. While seeming immediately useless, the slime block, when turned to slime and sold, sells for $6624. Not a bad way to start a season.

Classic Island: The standard Skyblock island, kitted with a tree and a decent supply of dirt. Start here immediately sky rocket your farming progression.

Coral Island: An incredibly good starting island that gives access to both sand and dirt for farming. A good starter island if you want to focus on both cactus and crops without any major focus on either. Just be mindful of the water pond you may want to remove.

Large Coral Island: An even larger version of the already incredibly good coral Island with even more dirt and sand and surprisingly less random junk. Might be one of the best starter islands all around. Just be mindful of the even bigger water pond that you may want to remove

Crimson Island: An awful island with it's only saving grace being a singular yet useless Shroomlight

Large Crimson Island: Because of course the worst islands always need a Large version

Desert Island: Conceptually one of my favorite starter islands which not only come with a surplus of sand to start ark farming cactus but actually gives you a few starter cactus to begin with.

Large Desert Island: Wait! I take it back! Desert has a large?!? Even more sand and 2 extra cactus to begin with. Definitely a top tier island indeed.

End Island: Another barren borderline useless island. It does come with 2 purple banners which is neat.

Large End Island: Why is there a Large end island?? Where is my Large Classic Island?? Comes with two separate platforms meaning you have to put in effort to combine. Probably the worst island out of them all

Ice Island: It's Ice...just ice? There's also some glass and snow but you cant even mine any of it to sell. How did you make an island worse than End Island?

Large Ice Island: Proof that large doesn't always mean better. And more terrible blocks is just as bad as few terrible blocks.

Mushroom Island: Surprisingly not an awful island. Tightly packed with mycelium which when broken becomes dirt and can be used for farming crops. High key better than the classic island for starting. And if mushroom farms become efficient, could become a ton better.

Large Mushroom Island: Ohhh! it comes in large. Could compete for top two islands along with large Desert. Comes with a surplus of mycelium and three fully grown mushroom trees.

Penguin Island: This island sucks and you are a psychopath for considering it. Next.

Warped Island: It's literally crimson but blue...don't choose it

Large Warped Forest: Dude. it's just Blue Crimson. Don't choose it!
