Twilight Island Items are two rare tools that came from a seasonal, limited-time lootbox: the Meteor Seed, which grows one shared bloom on your island, and the Orbit Harvester, a hoe that stores charges from your manual harvesting and spends them to sweep a small patch of crops. Both only react to crops that you harvest by hand.
How to get them#
Both items have been rewards in a limited-time lootbox (see Skyblock Crates). Each reward roll is weighted, and these two were among the rarest rewards, at well under 1% per reward. Check the crate preview at /warp crates to see what is currently offered.
Meteor Seed#
The Meteor Seed (a Nether Star) plants one shared Meteor Bloom for the whole island. Its description reads: "Grow a fallen star with your island."
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who plants it | Only the island owner, and only once per island for the Twilight season |
| How to plant | Place it on your island. It becomes a beacon-shaped bloom |
| How it grows | Island members' manual harvests of mature crops add progress. It needs 25 manual harvests to be ready |
| Who can add progress | Members who are allowed to break blocks on the island |
| How to collect | When it is ready, a member right-clicks the bloom (needs the interact permission) |
| Reward | One Meteor Bloom (an amethyst shard keepsake), delivered to the island owner. The owner must be online |
| After collecting | The bloom disappears and cannot be planted again this season |
Harvests of crops you just planted do not count: a crop placed within the last 30 seconds is ignored, so replanting and instantly harvesting does not fill the bloom.
Orbit Harvester#
The Orbit Harvester (a Netherite Hoe) saves up harvesting effort and turns it into a quick sweep.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Earning a charge | One charge for every 32 manual mature-crop harvests you make |
| Storage | Up to 3 charges |
| Using it | Right-click a crop, or the ground at a crop patch. The sweep centres on that spot and harvests up to 5 mature crops within 1 block of it. Each sweep spends one charge |
| Cooldown | 30 seconds between sweeps |
| Replanting | Replanting needs the seeds the harvest drops. A crop that is not allowed in the current dimension is left alone, so that the seed is not lost |
As with the Meteor Seed, only manual harvests count. Crops you placed less than 30 seconds ago do not give charge progress, and automated harvesting such as the sweep itself does not earn charges.
Tips#
- Because each Meteor Seed is bound to the island owner, plan who should plant it before you open lootboxes that can give it.
- Combine the Orbit Harvester with crops that your mastery already allows on your current dimension, see Island Mastery and Island Dimensions (Nether and End).
- Members need their island role to allow breaking blocks to add to the bloom, see Island Permissions.
