Floating Islands as seen from the entrance bridge

The Floating Islands (Often abbreviated as FI) are located extremely far North to the East of Mining Town. They hover over a large void in the terrain, surrounded by a spiky, impassable mess. Reaching the top means completing a lot of parkour, which is fatal if failed due to the void. There is an abundance of zombie and zombie pigman spawners, as well as a Giant placed directly in the player's path. The largest structure on the islands is the ruined top of the Earth Spire which contains 4 special spire chests.

Travel Advisory/Warnings

  • Zerbia is southeast of here if you need a bandage.
  • The Path leading to the entrance to the islands is at X:2250, Z:-3700. When coming here, go to these coordinates and not the ones listed on the map.
  • Water refills are available in several places, including the spire island at the top.
  • With 3 pot_rares, FI is technically among the best places in the game to acquire glowstone and lingering II potions.
  • Getting here and looting the islands will require lots of food, as you are often required to sprint-jump.
  • A desperate player in need of food can frequently find carrots in the spire chests.
  • Be careful when ascending the waterfall to the spire island, as you are vulnerable to falling zombies and players with bows.
  • Snowballs can save lives here. You don’t want a pigman to attack you while you’re opening a chest.
  • Zombie spawners are (almost) always marked by skeleton skulls. The exceptions are a couple of spawners that are built into the spires and mini-spires.
  • Zombie pigman spawners are always marked by wither skeleton skulls. Immediately run past if you see them.
  • The Giant will spawn on the large north-west island, where paths A and B split.
  • If you have a group of more than five people, it is recommended to trap the Giant in a cobweb such that everyone has a chance to run past it.
  • Due to the Giant’s high-knockback attacks, it is extremely dangerous to fight it here. Only do so if you’re seeking a challenge.
  • Grappling can be used to skip parts of the intended path.
  • If you need to log out for a while, make absolutely sure you log out on a full solid block. If you leave while standing on a slab or stair, you could die when you log back in.
  • Having a good keyboard is recommended, as if you wobble jump or fail to sprint jump, death is almost certain.
  • Don’t allow yourself to succumb to nerves. The parkour at FI is among the easiest in the game.

Trivia

  • For Christmas 2015, the majority of the terrain had been replaced with ice, snow and quartz.
  • In the past, only 13 islands were accessible.
  • This location was among many that were rebuilt in the MineZ: Origins update.


Lore

  • There is a Lore Block on the top island on the way to the large tree.


Lore Block

The Spire of Therum is a sealing stone of the Goddess of Earth, Therum.
This spire has experienced significant damage on the protective later weakening the hold on the gods.
This spire is rather fitting to represent Therum, a slow moving but extremely deadly hunk of earth wavering through the Floating Islands.
