Since 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. | |||
