# Islands

#### 🏝️ Features of Your Island

Every player starts with a basic floating island, but the potential for expansion is nearly limitless.

* Total Protection: By default, only you can break or place blocks. You are the owner of your island.
* Persistent Progress: Unlike the Resource World, your structures, chests, and crops stay exactly where you put them forever.

#### 🛠️ Island Management

Managing your island is handled through a player interface. You can access this at any time by typing `/islands`.

#### 🤝 Your Island, your Way

You have full control over who visits your house and build anything you want.

* Visitors: You can set your island to `Public` to show off your builds, or `Private` to keep everyone out.
* Co-op: Adding a player to your "Team" allows them to share your chests and island level, but choose wisely—team members have full access to your hard-earned loot!
