The Hub is the main island in Islands. It is accessed through the portal on the player's island. Most villagers are located in the Hub.
Resources[]
The mining area is located behind Arius. Here, rocks of stone, coal, iron ore, andesite, granite and diorite spawn. The rocks can be mined by players with an axe or pickaxe, although the latter is significantly more efficient.
The hub lake is located straight, past all of the main buildings of the Hub. Here, players can fish to obtain fish or other treasure such as pearls, propellers, and fish tank decoration blueprints. The amount of fish in the pond varies depending on how many players are fishing.
In the pond, rocks of clay and aquamarine spawn. Players can use an axe or pickaxe to break the rocks, although the latter is significantly more efficient. Sea grass and various colors of coral also generate beneath the surface and can be broken by the player to obtain them.
Next to the art museum is a river that can be used for fishing. No ores spawn there.
On the snowy tops of the mountain behind the Fishing Lake, piles of snow spawn. Snow can be dug up with a stone shovel or a Christmas shovel.
Behind the Hub's main area, there is a small desert where Doug is located. Sandstone rocks can spawn there. There is a small pond where players can fish.
During the Christmas 2020 and Christmas 2021 events, ice spikes spawned in the Hub. Breaking the ice spikes will give ice. This was removed after the event ended.
Villagers[]
The main area is the first thing the player sees when arriving to the Hub. Some of the villagers on the island are located in this area.

Trivia[]

- This is one of the two oldest locations in the game, the other being the player's island.
- The Hub and Player's Island shared the same server until the November 1, 2020 update separated the two islands, making it so if the player is on a private server, the Hub will still be on the same server.
- It was changed on November 7, 2020.
- The Hub has went through various versions, the original, the Halloween 2020 event, the second version, the Christmas 2020 event, the Godzilla vs. Kong event, the Patrick Star Event, the modified second one, the Halloween 2021 event, and the current.
- Taliyah's barn was first added as a construction zone before the building was actually revealed, and was remodeled three times afterwards, on November 1, 2020, February 26, 2021, and October 18, 2021.
- Electrite rocks used to be able to spawn on the Hub Mountain, but was changed for them to only spawn on Buffalkor Island on January 4, 2021.
- In the July 17, 2021 update, the hub got a small expansion with Hannah and her pirate ship which leads to Pirate Island. They are located at the docks past Dom and Thomas.
- In private servers, the Hub will occasionally glitch and not load in properly when the player first spawns there, resulting in players falling through the Hub and into the void before respawning back at their island.
- A skeleton near the portal during the Halloween 2022 event was not anchored and therefore scatter into movable pieces when the player spawns in. This was fixed in the October 22, 2022 update.
