Angel Islands¶
Two islands in three are Angel Islands: low islands made of island cloud from top to bottom, a few trees rooted in the cloud. Their shore is a cliff down to a flat shelf at the level of the cloud sea — Angel Beach.
Skypiean villages¶
Every Angel Island has a village of houses in cloud brick, cut cloud and shell tiles, with streets edged in oak, lamp posts and a square. The larger islands have larger villages, with:
- an inn, amber-roofed, with a bar, tables and rooms upstairs;
- a dial shop, coral-roofed, its shells on show along the counter;
- a bandstand;
- kitchen gardens on cloud farmland;
- a cloud fountain;
- in one village in three, a climate terrace where Haredas teaches the Art of Weather.
The houses¶
Five shapes: the family house under its gable, a two-storey house with a balcony, the fisherman's house with its catch drying under a long roof, a round house under a dome, and a house with a gallery. Each house draws its own colours: a roof of turquoise, coral, amber or lilac shell tiles, shutters and a door painted to match, and its own walls.
They are furnished: a table and chairs, a kitchen whose chimney smokes, beds, shelves, carpets, flowers at the windows.
The Skypieans¶
The villagers are sky people of this mod: eight people, men and women, young and old, with small wings at the shoulders and their hair grown into antennae. The dial merchant, the Skypiean Merchant, is one of them, in a blue apron behind his counter; he sells the base mod's dials, Sky Island's own, and the pottery sherds of Skypiea for the Vearth urn. The White Berets protect them.

Villages generated before 0.3.0 keep the base mod's Skypieans and their old houses.
Cloud farmland¶
A hoe tills island cloud into cloud farmland, and crops grow in it exactly as in farmland: water nearby keeps it moist — or sea cloud, which a Sea Cloud Bucket carries to your field — and trampled or left bare it turns back into island cloud.
The village blocks¶
Every block the villages are built from can be crafted: cloud brick, cut cloud, cloud pillars and walls, shell tiles in four colours, painted shutters and doors, awning cloth, cloud glass, conch lanterns and Vearth urns. Their recipes are on the Blocks page.
The White Berets¶
Skypiea's police. Every village has their post — a small tower of white stone with battlements, a cell and a bell — with a rare chest of seized goods, and the White Beret Guards (the recruits) and a White Beret Captain who keep order in the village. Under the same uniform there are eight faces: skin, hair, eyes, a moustache, a beard or a scar. They are calibrated against the base mod's own NPCs — the captain is the stronger, with Busoshoku Haki. Since 1.0.2 Marines, bounty hunters and revolutionaries can hurt a White Beret who attacks them or struck them; peaceful ones stay off-limits to them.

Angel Beach¶
The flat shore at the foot of an Angel Island's cliffs.
- Dials wash up on the beach over time, a few at a time — the base mod's and Sky Island's own — with conches, and are picked up like any item. How often, and how many a stretch of beach holds, is in the configuration.
- A seafront, once per village island, facing the island's geyser: the dial workshop under its lilac awning, a promenade along the shore, a pier, deck chairs, and sometimes a castle of cloud. Behind the workshop's counter stands the Waver Dealer, who sells the waver, dials, and the balloon octopus that brings a boat home.
- White Beret lookouts along the shore wherever it has room, never within 64 blocks of the seafront or of another lookout, each with its guard.
- Sky Lobsters walk the beach (see Wildlife).
Heaven's Gate¶
The way into Skypiea, on every village island: the gate, its tunnel through the bank of cloud, and a causeway from the tunnel to the promenade. The geyser sets you down right in front of it, and the express shrimp carries a boat with its crew through it to the seafront: see the express shrimp.
