Hunt biome fractals
Exploration is progression
Every biome hides its own glowing fractal. Cross the islands, find them, and collect - each one you carry home brings you closer to opening a door no one's been through.

The world
A thousand islands, one sky
Every biome you know, reborn as islands drifting over the void - forests, deserts, and mountains with nothing beneath them but sky. It plays like the vanilla survival you love with the progression rebuilt: instead of racing to the Nether portal, you travel island to island, explore, and let the world itself reward you for wandering.
Claim your island
Golden shovel, sky estate
Found the island that feels like home? One golden-shovel click makes it yours - builds, chests, and all. And when it's grown into something special, the real estate market will pay handsomely for property in the sky.
Dimensions
Spend fractals, unlock worlds
Your collected fractals are the key. Spend them to unlock entirely new dimensions - each one a fresh sky full of islands with its own rules, resources, and dangers. There's no telling what awaits on the other side, and that's exactly the point.
Vehicles
Wings over the void
Island-hopping is better with a fleet: planes and helicopters cross the emptiness in style,
hoverbikes were practically made for this place, and tractors and drills keep your home
island productive. All of it from the /shop, paid with in-game money.

FAQ
Islands SMP questions
What is the Islands SMP server address?
Join play.cosmosmc.org on Java Edition, or the same address with port 19132 on Bedrock, then pick Islands SMP from the gamemode menu.
What is Islands SMP?
CosmosMC's one-of-a-kind survival gamemode: a semi-vanilla world generated entirely as islands floating over the void, where progression runs on exploration - collect biome fractals, unlock new dimensions, and build your place in the sky.
What are biome fractals?
Glowing collectibles hidden across the islands - each biome hides its own. Exploring is how you find them, and they're the currency that opens new dimensions.
How do I unlock new dimensions?
Spend the biome fractals you've collected. Every dimension you unlock is a whole new world of islands - and there's no telling what waits inside.
Is Islands SMP harder than normal survival?
A notch harder, yes. It stays semi-vanilla at heart, but the void is always beneath you and progress comes from exploring, not just digging down.
Does Islands SMP ever reset?
No - like every CosmosMC gamemode, the world is permanent. Your islands, claims, and unlocks stay yours.
Can I claim land and trade property?
Yes - golden-shovel land claiming works here just like the rest of the network, and your claims can be listed on the real estate market for other players to buy.
Do I need mods to play?
No mods - a resource pack loads automatically on join and handles all the custom content, on both Java and Bedrock.
