NeoSkies
NeoSkies is a Fabric skyblock mod for dedicated worlds, built around customizable islands with advanced island protection.
What it does
Players start on their own island, and the owner decides how other players may interact with it, such as opening doors, using redstone or reaching containers. Each island can be given its own settings, so protection differs from one island to the next. The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything.
Islands draw on a shared currency through the Common Economy API, so the balance on an island account is shared between its members. The mod provides its own API registries, which lets other mods add content and integrate with the island system. It is a fork of Skylands with a reworked island system and mostly original island templates. NeoSkies is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and requires Fabric API. Its only published files target 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, with 1.0.0-alpha.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest, and the project is still in development, so its features may change over time.
