Floating islands are | [[File:Floating Island Mango.png|thumb|A floating island with mango tree and vines]] | ||
'''Floating islands''' are a type of terrain added in [[Game updates/20141119|version 1.6]]. | |||
==Appearance== | |||
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== | |||
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, under, or adjacent each other. | |||
[[World]]s started before version 1.6 can have floating islands spawned in areas not yet revealed when opened in version 1.6 and later. | |||
==Flora== | |||
*[[Tree]]s, including [[Gem Tree|gem trees]] | |||
*[[Cactus|Cacti]] | |||
*[[Vine]]s, usually dangling | |||
*[[Tulip]]s | |||
==Fauna== | |||
Whatever [[:Category:Creature|animals]] may spawn because of the flora present. | |||
==Notes== | |||
As the location of floating islands cannot be predicted, attempting to find them using [[ladder]]s or creating ramps from [[blocks]] is inefficient. The use of a [[jetpack]] is effective, with ladders, [[Elevator Shaft|elevators]], [[portal]]s, or other means of travel installed after discovery. | |||
Floating islands are the only place [[Gem Tree|gem trees]] can be found. | |||
If all of a floating island's stone is [[marble]] when it spawns, there is an increased chance of a [[Gem Tree|gem tree]]. | |||
