What it does

The mod adds a world type in which every part of the world is a set of islands rather than continuous terrain. A config file sets how large the islands are, what shape they take and how far they spread, and it can be switched to create a single island for a hardcore run. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source and issue tracker are public. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Island-only worlds

    Selecting the world type generates a world made up entirely of islands, with open water between them.

  2. Configurable islands

    A config file sets the size, shape and spread of the islands, so the layout can be tuned per server.

  3. Single-island mode

    The config can restrict generation to one island, for a hardcore survival challenge.
