    ok, a lot of people have said this so i thought i'd address it in a post...we need a perm /is coop option...say we have an alt with a different island....i would want my alt to always be able to build on my island and vice-versa.... this is really annoying as i have to go on 3 minecrafts to copy something from creative onto my alts island....one on the server im copying from (not aem so that my alt can be on skyblock to coop me wen im building it), second is my alt so i can be cooped and 3rd is me to actually build it...i shouldnt have to have 3 minecrafts open....it wont be that difficult to add perm coop...even if it is something that we make a list in commands and wen we join it just does /is coop (name) to everyone even if theyre offline and wen someone joins it also coops them on other islands they have it on as well as making them coop other people.....

    This is just my take on the suggestion but the /is coop command (in my opinion) is only really there for when people need help with something such as they can't build their ig farm correctly so someone offers to help so you coop them so they can help you fix the issue. Also I think having a permenant coop setting would make having island partners kind of redudent as everyone would just have their own islands then perm coop people so they have more space for grinders and such.

    But to elaborate on it anyway. You could basically get a group of say 3 people all perm coop each other on everyones island, you then make one of the islands a complete cactus farm and nothing else, you have all your mob grinders and a mycelium farm on another island and have the final island for just building. It basically defeats the point of skyblock if I could log on with 5Alts and have as much space as I want for anything and if I do run out I could log on and create another island with another alt.

    i see where your coming from but...if you have the 3 people all on the 3rd island building then the other 2 islands won't even be loaded anyway so the farms will only work when someone is on the island which will be one of the 3 people so it doesnt defeat the point of skyblock...

    i agree with @Shadow_Hopper but it wouldve been a cool thing to do because me and wob are working on a minigames island for people to have fun on when bored so it kinda wouldve been convenient since our alts dont have fly, and i know before you say it that we can just make our main islands our alts and do it that way but thats too much messing around. because then we would still need to coop ourselves on our main island when we want stuff. but i agree with both sides :l dont hate

    I beg to differ.. I think a PERM coop option would be greatly helpful! As an example: (/is warp Bluedevil74) Is a temple of elements, now you may notice that this is built on stampy cats island... while I STILL have my own island (Stampy is an in game friend) (Not the real YT stampy btw, that's just his ign) But we worked together to build the temple. so I needed him to be on and to coop me whenever he came back on for me to build it! It would have been IMMENSLY helpful for me to be able to have perm coop on his island... while STILL keeping mine! Just an example! and good reasoning of why this should be added!

    I get why you want it and why you think it is a good idea but the main thing is that the coop function is meant so you can assist someone temporarly without having to leave your own island.

    And (in my opinion atleast) the negatives definatly outway the positives for having a permenant coop system in place

    Umm Shadow I don't think you understand.. Temporary coop would still be in place and it would be easy for @Sway Or @Calcium to add this... it would be 2 separate commands to give players a bit of flexibility

    @Shadow_Hopper im not saying to replace /is coop to a perm coop i mean have the option for perm as well as temp coop....that way people can choose which to do so we could have /Is Coop which is normal temp coop and /Is Perm Coop or /Is PermCoop which will be the perm coop option

    I understand that temp coop would still be there but I just think it would be to easy to abuse the permenent coop to gain massive advantages.

    well, if i cooped someone and they mess up my island, i would be told by staff that its my own fault for cooping so they can't do anything about it...its the same thing with this, you would only perm coop people who you trust enough to perm coop them, like irl friends or alts....so it wont really be abused this way....in the having multiple islands way, people are doing that now anyway and using normal /is coop like me for a minigames island that my alt owns so making perm coop wont make a difference here either

    In theory, an alternate account should server as a tool, not as a player.

    Therefore, it seems a bit excessive if a player gives their Alt its own island and expects us to provide a method of controlling both islands at once.

    Let me explain-

    AEM already provides another alternative method of a player controlling two islands at once in /is coop. If you wanted to control yours and your alternate account's island at once, all you need to do is have to clients logged in at the same time. While this may be taxing on your computer, there's other alternatives such as Minechat that allow you to have only one client on your computer but be cooped to an alternate account at the same time (all we ask is that you don't bypass AFK timers).

    That being said, giving your altnerate account an island means that THAT account is entitled to that island, NOT your main (unless, of course, you're island partners or are currently cooped).

    If we allowed players to permanently coop others to their island, we open the doors for the manipulation of many alternate accounts to create more islands and therefore gain an advantage over others who are limited in that way (essnentially, we are giving one account more than one island!!). While you say the abusing of alts won't happen, we have physical proof of many alternate accounts being abused at once (not naming any names) which gives us more than enough evidence that if it CAN HAPPEN, it WILL HAPPEN.

    Let's not take any chances. Either log on with more than one account at the same time and co-op yourself, or control one island at a time using the accounts that are partnered or own the island. Simple as that.

    If we use minechat, and then go on pc on main account then arent we technically afk?

    if we talk every 14 mins to not get kicked so that our main acc can still build then tech we are bypassing afk yet thats wat ur telling us to do

    if your telling us to go on minechat because we cant have a perm coop then for our main acc to be able to build for say 4 hours at once, we would have to keep talking every 15 mins on minechat and therefore are bypassing afk yet ur telling us to go on minechat which would mean we would have to talk every 15 mins so ur basically telling us to bypass afk timer

    All he is saying is you can go on minechat to coop your main account onto your island instead of loading up minecraft again on your computer as some peoples computers cannot handle it, Also typing once every 15mins is allowed PROVIDED you are not using the alt to afk a farm or grinder of some sort
