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 Combat level. For example, a player with
Combat VII (7) 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.

Villagers[]
Villagers can be obtained from curing Zombie Villagers. Players can sell some items to Villagers in exchange for Emeralds and
Enchanted Emeralds. 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 Weakness effect, just like in vanilla Minecraft. Golden Apples can be obtained as a Rare 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.
Level | Emeralds Needed | Cumulative |
---|---|---|
1 | (none) | 0 |
2 | 50 | 50 |
3 | 400 | 450 |
4 | 1050 | 1500 |
5 | 1500 | 3000 |
Villager Trades[]
The list of Villager trades is shown below. The first table shows items that the player can give to a Villager for 1x Emerald, and the second table shows items that the player can buy with
Emeralds or

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
Iron Ingot 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 Portal to the Hub 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.

Events[]
Players on Stranded profiles can participate in most Events, but some Events do not affect Stranded profiles.
Recurring Events[]
New Year Celebration:
The Baker can be found in the NPC menu.
Traveling Zoo:
Oringo can be found in the NPC menu. Spawning Oringo requires 6 unique pets.
Spooky Festival: (partial)
- Spooky Mobs can spawn on the Private Island on Stranded Profiles.
- The Fear Mongerer can be found in the NPC menu. Spawning The Fear Mongerer requires
Combat V (5).
- Leaderboard rewards can still be obtained from the Events menu in the SkyBlock Menu.
- The
Horseman's Candle cannot be used.[Confirm]
- The
Bat Firework cannot be purchased.
Season of Jerry and other Winter Island features: (partial)
- The Winter Island cannot be visited, but Stranded players can fish up Winter Sea Creatures on the Private Island any time during Late Winter.
- Fishing up Winter Sea Creatures is the only way to obtain Gifts since Stranded players cannot travel to the Winter Island to participate in the Defend Jerry's Workshop event.
- Players can open any type of Gift by placing it on the ground and opening it as usual, even on a Solo profile.
- Rewards from the Chicken Race can be bought from Villagers.
- The
Hunk of Ice and
Hunk of Blue Ice currently serve no use in Stranded since
Terry is not in the Island NPCs menu. They cannot be sold to Merchants.
Mayor Election:
- Elections cannot be voted on by players on Stranded profiles.
- Players on Stranded profiles cannot interact with elected mayors.
- Many mayor perks still apply to Stranded profiles, so it is still beneficial to vote on the election from a non-Stranded profile.
- For more information on which mayor perks apply to Stranded, see § Mayors below.
Mayor Events[]
Mythological Ritual (Diana):
Unavailable
Mining Fiesta (Cole/Foxy):
Unavailable
Fishing Festival (Marina/Foxy):
Available
Other[]
- Ⓑ Bingo: The Bingo interface can be opened via the
/bingo
command, allowing access to the Bingo profile, card, and shop. Items cannot be transferred from a Bingo profile to a Stranded profile. Century Cake:
Since Simon is not in the Island NPCs menu, players cannot claim Century Cakes from Simon.
Mayors[]
While mayors cannot be voted on or spoken with on Stranded profiles, many perks still apply.
Aatrox:
All perks apply as usual.
Barry:
All perks apply as usual.
Cole: (partial) Since his Mining XP Buff perk and the Mining Fiesta event only work on public islands, the only one of his perks that affects Stranded is the Prospection perk, which increases the speed of Mining Minions by 25%.
Diana: (partial) The Mythological Ritual event is only available on the Hub Island. The Griffin Pet cannot be obtained because the mayors cannot be spoken with on Stranded. Her other perks, Pet XP Buff and Lucky!, apply as usual.
Diaz:
All perks apply as usual, but the increased NPC buy limit only affects very few NPCs available on Stranded. However, it is worth noting that more materials can be bought from the Builder when this perk is active.
Foxy: (partial) Her Benevolence perk, which increases rewards from the Defend Jerry's Workshop event, is not useful since Stranded players cannot access the Winter Island. If the event from the Extra Event perk is the Mining Fiesta, Stranded players cannot participate. Her Sweet Tooth perk applies as usual.
Marina: (partial) The Fishing XP Buff perk only affects public islands, but her other perks, Luck of the Sea 2.0 and Fishing Festival, apply as usual.
Paul:
Since dungeons are not available, none of Paul's perks apply to Stranded profiles.
Special Candidates[]
Derpy: (partial) All perks apply as usual, except the AH CLOSED!!! perk does not affect Stranded because Stranded players cannot access the Auction House anyway.
Jerry:
All perks apply as usual.
Scorpius:
Since mayors cannot be spoken with on Stranded, his Bribe perk does not apply. Since the Dark Auction cannot be accessed, his only other perk, Darker Auctions, also does not apply.
One-Time Candidates[]
Many items that were only obtainable while the mayor was Dante or Technoblade can be obtained by trading with Villagers.
Changes to Fishing[]
A few changes were made to Fishing for Stranded profiles only.
- Many Sea Creatures that only spawn in certain locations can be fished up on the Private Island.
- The Zombie Miner drops Nether Quartz.
- Water Worms drop Hard Stone.
- Name Tags are a GREAT CATCH! from Fishing, and they can be used to prevent mobs from despawning.
- The Fishing Fairy Souls can be collected like normal, but there is no way to trade them in for buffs, so the only use for Fairy Souls is the Full Set Bonus of Fairy Armor.
Jerry's Tips[]
Tips can be bought from Jerry for 1,000 coins 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. Upon purchasing a tip from Jerry, the player will receive one of the following messages in chat:
- Villagers tend to have sweet trades!
- Did you know Slimes can spawn near the void?
- Cocoa Beans only grow on one type of tree!
- Shiny creatures can drop shiny things!
- Rabbits can spawn in different biomes!
- I've heard that scary monsters can attack your island sometime in Autumn.
- The only way to obtain Emeralds is to trade for them!
- Pigmen are great at hoarding wealth.
- This place desperately needs more Iron Golems!
- In my opinion, Magma Cubes are just fiery slimes.
- Villagers tend to have cool trades!
