Items

Items are the objects used by the players of build island to express their creativity. They are the key component to the functionality of the game as a whole. The issue though is know how to use those blocks, and you may not even know what they all do. This page is the center point for all of this information.

only items that have very specific functions will be defined individually to save both time and effort, thank you -ScreamingXXX

Basic Building


Basic building consists of basic block bases that can be customized in terms of texture. These blocks are simple but effective and are easy to use when starting out building, hence the name “basic building.”

Miscellaneous


The miscellaneous block set is a group of blocks that don’t fit into any other major grouping like house kit or castle kit. It does not contain any standard block types (cube/wedge/etc.) and is almost entirely comprised of decoration that is useful in more descriptively designed builds.

Wiring

Wiring is the most technical aspect of the game. Blocks that use wiring are useful for building complex machines, builds, or structures from clocks or light towers. They are easily the most versatile objects in the game. More information on these blocks can be found in the wiring section.
