Teivaki is the sixth island settlement of Itokani, located in the Northern Ocean in the region of Senikau. The island was built by McYoshi26, the mayor of Itokani. Construction of the island began on September 18, 2020, and was completed on September 21, 2020.
Teivaki is one of the agricultural islands of Itokani and is known for its farmland and windmills.
History
Following the completion of Waitui and the submission of the plan for Vakasuka International Airport, Teivaki was officially claimed on September 18, 2020. MinecraftYoshi26 thought of building a farm island for the town and came up with the idea of designing the island to have crop fields similar to ones that were visited during The Amazing Race 9 on the Minecraft server of Amberstone.
The island originally was supposed to be wheat and the lighthouse was originally supposed to be lime; however, it was later changed to red as the main crops were changed to beetroots. Additionally, apples were added to accentuate the redness of the island.
On September 18, 2020, the trees and ponds were removed the night and terraforming commenced. Glass and anvils were placed on the islands as marker blocks for the paths, the leaf borders, and the crop fields. On the same day, the Damudamu Lighthouse and the first five windmills were placed on the island. On September 21, 2020, all of the beet crops were fully planted, apples were planted, the Altéa Farmhouse was placed, and the final three windmills were placed.
The island was declared completed on September 21, 2020, when an in-game map of the island was made.
On April 21, 2022, water was added throughout the patches of beetroots to make the soil throughout the island moist. The process was completed a day later.
The flag for the island changed on December 2, 2023, changing from a red flag featuring a white diamond with a horizontal white line to a red flag featuring a white diagonal cross. The Yaloka Bridge connecting the island to Dovu was constructed later that day.

Geography
Teivaki is located in the Northern Ocean. It is the southeastern island group in the region of Senikau and was Itokani's first island claim in the group. The island is surrounded by deep ocean and deep lukewarm ocean biomes.
The closest settlement to Teivaki is Soko and Dovu, which are both connected by bridges.
Builds and attractions
Teivaki has a total of 10 buildings: eight windmills, the Damudamu Lighthouse, and the Altéa Farmhouse. The windmills were originally built for the "Between Tulips and Windmills" challenge set in The Netherlands in Big Brother 5.
The island has winding stone, dirt, podzol, and grass paths that link up the windmills and buildings with large fields of beetroot plants. The walls of the paths grow apples, the island's other staple crop.
Transport
Teivaki is connected through bridges to two neighboring islands. The Cevu Bridge connects to Soko on the southern tip of Teivaki and the Yaloka Bridge connects to Dovu on the western tip of Teivaki.
Itokani Local Boats take passengers to other islands in Itokani. There are Itokani Local Boats in the north of the island from the Teivaki Dock that connects Teivaki to Lailai and Dovu.
