The Private Island (also known as the Player's Island) is where all players begin their SkyBlock adventure. Players can build and break blocks freely here, allowing them to customize the island to their liking. They can also place Minions to harvest resources, as well as Portals to quickly travel to some public islands.

If the player falls into the void on the Private Island, they do not lose any coins unless they are in combat. Dying from any other source of damage, including suffocation or fall damage, will cause the player to lose coins.

Initial island state
When the player first creates their profile, they are spawned on one of two floating islands in the Private Island. The first island consists of some grass, dirt, and stone with a tree on top. Players are told to do some simple tasks before making their way to the second island. The game is played like a normal SkyBlock game at this stage, using only the resources given on the islands. After finishing the tasks for the first quest, the player is instructed to enter the portal on the second island to travel to the Hub Island.

The second of the two islands contains the Hub Island Portal, Jerry, a Cobblestone Minion, and a small cave with a torch and a chest inside. The chest contains a Lava Bucket, a Water Bucket, 3 Bone Meal, 5 Dirt, 7 Grass and 8 Cobblestone. Presumably, the Lava Bucket and Water Bucket are for a cobblestone generator, which is only useful in the Stranded gamemode.

Progression
After entering the Hub Island portal for the first time, players are able to complete quests throughout the Hub and other locations. These locations allow the player to gather additional resources which will, in turn, allow them to level up Skills and Collections.

Mobs
After the first full night, mobs spawn naturally on the Private Island where the light level is low enough. Using a Taiga, End, or Nether Biome Stick to change the island's biome allows corresponding mobs to spawn that wouldn't be able to spawn otherwise. Mob spawning can be prevented in multiple ways:
 * Placing a Repelling Candle prevents all hostile mob spawns on the island.
 * Placing torches or other light sources will prevent monsters from spawning in areas with enough light.
 * Placing a Day Saver on the island makes it permanently day, which makes the surface of the island constantly illuminated by the sun, so mobs can't spawn. However, the Day Saver does not prevent mobs from spawning during rain, under overhangs, or in caves.

Uses
There are countless uses for the Private Island. Examples include building a house, storing items, or housing Minions. It is also common to construct farms to get coins, skill experience, resources, and Jacob's Tickets. Many players use their islands primarily for function, but some spend a lot of time creating aesthetically pleasing islands for others to view.

Visiting
Players can visit other players' Private Islands using the command /visit. Visiting other players' islands grants Social XP.

The maximum number of visitors on the player's own Private Island can be increased using the Guests Limit Profile Upgrade. The first upgrade is free, but subsequent upgrades require SkyBlock Gems. The Guests Limit before upgrades depends on the highest rank among the owners of the island, shown in the table below.

Spawn Location
Players can set their own spawn position by using /spawnlocation, /setspawn, or /sethome; or by sleeping in a bed. This location is separate from the location where Guests will spawn when they visit the island, which can be set using /guestlocation.

Kicking
When there are one or more Guests on a player's Private Island, they can use /sbkickall to kick all Guests from their island, or they can use /sbkick to kick a specific player. Kicking a player also temporarily bans them from the island. In addition, the player can go to their island settings to pick categories for their island, such as parkour, replica, and portal hub.

Island Settings
The player can change settings for their Banking API and island visitor restrictions in the Island Settings menu, which can be accessed from the Settings page of the SkyBlock Menu. The player can allow visits from any combination of three options: Anyone, Friends, and Guild. The interface for the Island Settings menu is shown below.

Island Size
The default island size is 161 blocks by 161 blocks, but it can be increased with the Island Size Profile Upgrade. Attempting to build outside these limits results in the message. If the player travels vertically above Y:384, they are teleported back down one block with no message in chat.

Redstone Restrictions
Since version 0.5, redstone has been allowed on Player Islands, with strict limitations. Each island has a Redstone Meter that appears on the scoreboard when a redstone component, such as a lever, is activated. When the meter reaches 100%, redstone on the island is disabled for 10 seconds. Pistons can be placed, but cannot be activated. Minecarts are disabled due to performance issues and duplication exploits.
