Floating Island

Floating islands are a type of terrain added in version 1.6.

A floating island with mango tree and vines

Appearance

A mass of some type of stone with a relatively level top of one or more layers of dirt.

Where Found

Floating islands are scattered through the sky, generally 200 blocks or more above Ocean#sea level but staying below space. They can occur over land or water.

Flora

• Trees, including gem trees
• Vines
• Tulips

Fauna

Whatever may spawn because of the flora present.

Notes

As the location of floating islands cannot be predicted, attempting to find them using ladders or creating ramps from blocks is inefficient. The use of a jetpack is recommended, with ladders, elevators, portals, or other means of travel installed after discovery.
