They appear as a mass of some type of [[stone]] with a relatively level top of one or more layers of [[dirt]] or [[sand]]. Stone types include plain stone, [[limestone]], [[sandstone]], and [[marble]]. [[Ore]]s or two types of stone in the same island have not been reported.
 
Small [[cave]]s in the stone are not unusual, and [[gems]] may be found inside those, regardless of whether or not a [[Gem Tree|gem tree]] is present. There may also be [[Golden Chest|golden chests]] present, just as with underground [[cave]]s. It is possible for stone or soil blocks to be spawned near but completely detached (even by back wall) from a floating island.
 
[[Tree]]s and other [[Category:Plant|plants]] may spawn on top of a floating island.


==Where Found==
==Where Found==
Floating islands are scattered through the [[Astronomy#Sky|sky]], generally 100 blocks or more above [[Ocean|sea level]] but staying below [[space]]. They can occur over land or [[water]], and can be positioned over or under each other.
