Stranded



is a Gamemode where the player cannot leave their Private Island. Stranded profiles are similar to Ironman profiles in that they do not allow Trading with players outside of the Co-op, they use the Special Bazaar, and the Auction House cannot be accessed.

Overview
Stranded profiles can be played Solo or as a Co-op. Players on Stranded profiles are restricted to their Private Island for the entirety of the game, so there are several changes to make parts of the game's content obtainable. Players are able to place down certain NPCs on their island, such as Jacob and Maddox, to make their respective content available. NPCs can be unlocked by reaching a specific milestone, such as reaching a certain Skill level or obtaining a specific item. Players can also trade with Villagers.

Mobs
On Stranded profiles, the level of some naturally spawning hostile mobs is the same as the player's level. For example, a player with will have level 7 monsters spawn on their island. All monsters require darkness to spawn. Below is the list of mobs that can spawn on Stranded profiles.

NPCs
NPCs can be summoned by clicking on the Island NPCs button in the SkyBlock Menu. Doing so will open a menu with all of the NPCs that can be summoned, including the requirements to summon each NPC.

Collections
Many collection materials cannot be obtained in the same way as in the Classic gamemode. Once enough materials have been collected, Minions are usually a very useful way to obtain more of the same material. Below is a table with information on how to progress in all collections. To see the spawning requirements for a mob in the table, click on the corresponding link.

Villagers
Villagers can be obtained from curing Zombie Villagers. Players can sell some items to Villagers in exchange for s and s. Players can then exchange these Emeralds and Enchanted Emeralds for Pets, Dark Auction items, items from Merchant NPCs, and a few more items.

Curing Zombie Villagers
Zombie Villagers can be cured by being fed a Golden Apple while under the effect, just like in vanilla Minecraft. Golden Apples can be obtained as a drop from fishing or by crafting with gold from killing Redstone Pigmen. The Weakness effect can be obtained by having a Witch throw a Splash Potion of Weakness onto the Zombie Villager or by brewing a potion.

Villager Leveling
Villagers level up after a set number of Emeralds are traded. When a Villager levels up, it unlocks more trades. After a level is reached, the counter resets. Enchanted Emeralds count as 160 Emeralds for Villager leveling.

Villager Trades
The list of Villager trades is shown below. The first table shows items that the player can give to a Villager for, and the second table shows items that the player can buy with s or s.

Notes on Villagers

 * Villagers do not despawn.
 * Villagers cannot be bred.
 * The prices offered by a single Villager never change.
 * Punching or otherwise harming a Villager does not affect the prices.
 * The prices offered by different Villagers when trading items for Emeralds can differ slightly between Villagers, but prices when trading Emeralds for other items are always the same for that item.
 * Hostile creatures do not attack Villagers.
 * If there are at least six Villagers on the island, Iron Golems will spawn, allowing the player to unlock the collection.
 * Villagers move very quickly once cured, so it is advised to cure Zombie Villagers after they are trapped.
 * Villagers tend to clip through walls, so it is advised to use solid blocks for the walls.
 * Villagers also tend to clip through the floor, so it is advised to make floors at least two blocks thick.
 * The first Villager cured on each profile is guaranteed to have the Desert Island trade. If this Villager dies, the next does not have the same guarantee.

Trades Menu
In Stranded mode, the Trades menu has a few changes. Namely, the Trade is removed and there are a few additional trades exclusive to Stranded. The regular water and lava bucket trades are still available upon meeting their normal requirements.

Lava Fishing
The Starter Lava Rod is unobtainable on Stranded, and a Magma Rod requires and  to craft and use. Because of this, Lava Fishing on Stranded is currently only possible due to a bug.

Jerry's Tips
Tips can be bought from Jerry for each. These tips are hints for Stranded-specific mechanics. For example, the tip "In my opinion, Magma Cubes are just fiery slimes." is a hint for the mechanic where Magma Cubes can be spawned by setting Slimes on fire.
