Private Island

Your Private Island is where every profile starts. It's yours to build on: you can place and break blocks freely, set up minions to gather resources, and place portals that take you to some of the public islands.¹ A quest on the starting islands sends you through the portal to the Hub.¹

On the Stranded game mode you never leave: the Private Island and The Garden are the only places you can go, and the game adjusts so its content can still be obtained.¹

Limits and rules

The buildable area starts at 161 × 161 blocks and grows with the Island Size profile upgrade.¹
Redstone works, but a meter shuts it off for 10 seconds when it fills up; pistons can be placed but not powered, and minecarts are disabled.¹
Chests and hoppers are capped at 1,000 each, and furniture at 15 pieces (some special items have their own caps).¹
Fortune stats (except Hunting Fortune), Mining Spread and Sweep don't work here, so farming for drops is better done on public islands or the Garden.¹
Hostile mobs spawn in dark spots after the first night; light, a Repelling Candle or a permanent day stops them.¹

Visitors. Others can visit with /visit <player> or through Christopher, which gives Social XP.¹ You choose who may visit (anyone, friends, guild) in the Island Settings, and can remove guests with /sbkick <player> or /sbkickall, which also bars them for a while.¹ How many guests fit depends on the owners' rank and the Guests Limit upgrade.¹
