Random Island
by FlameFire
Random Island is a minigame whose skyblock refreshes random blocks at a fixed spot next to the player's starting island, and players pick a game mode to clear it.
What it does
Players spawn on a starting oak island. Moving close to an option and selecting a game mode starts the round automatically. Random blocks refresh inside a fixed 6×3×3 area outside the island, and the refresh interval depends on the number of players and the chosen mode. The island is a datapack, so the default terrain must be kept when the world is created, or it may not take effect.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a Data pack build for server platforms. Game versions run 1.17 – 26.1.2 across 30 release versions, and the latest files target 1.9+mod for 1.21.11. Only the server has to run it, while players may add it for extra features. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Fixed refresh area
Random blocks appear in a 6×3×3 zone set four blocks outside the starting island.
Timed rounds
A timer command sets the interval in seconds, and the world creator holds edit permission by default.
Added block sets
The random pool includes 17 blocks from Minecraft 1.20, such as cherry and bamboo wood, carved bookshelves and decorated pots.
