It is positioned high They hover over a large void in the terrain, surrounded by spiky, impassable rocky mountains. Completing them requires Reaching the top means completing a lot of parkour, which is fatal, if failed due to the void waiting below . There is an abundance of zombie and zombie pigman spawners, as well as a Giant placed directly in the islandsplayer's path. The largest structure on the islands is the ruined top of the [[Special:MyLanguage/Earth Spire|Earth Spire ]], which contains 4 special spire chests.

==Travel Advisory/Warnings== * Spire Island** 4 spire_earth** 4 mil_mythic** 10? mil_epic* Path north of Spire Island leading back to Giant Island** 2 mil_epic** 1 pot_uncommon<!--T:76-->
==Travel Advisory/Warnings== <!--T:8-->* Water is available on Island 4 and Island 8.* Giants spawn on Island 3.* Be careful when ascending the waterfall to Island 8, players and pigmen can ambush you and knock you down.* 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.* Getting here will require lots of food, as it is located very far north amidst an area of uneven terrain.* All of the bridges have parkour. Do not come here if you aren't good at it.* Most islands spawn lots of zombies. You have the best chance of survival, if you run past all islands, ignoring zombies and quickly breaking loot chests.* The Floating Islands are beatable in leather armor, but only if you can think sharp and stay frosty. Remember, the strategy here is to avoid mobs, not to fight them.* Island 8 has the spire chests, there are 4 of them surrounding the Lore Block. The zombie pigman spawners were replaced by zombie spawners in the chest area, so although it is not as dangerous as it used to be, getting in and out of the spire bowl as fast as possible is highly suggested.* Island 8 has one zombie pigman spawner when coming up the waterfall, so get out of that area as fast as you can.* Having a good keyboard is recommended, as if you wobble jump or fail to sprint jump, then death is almost certain.* If you have a grapple, you can grapple up to the top of the big tree on Island 8, however 5 zombie pigman spawners await you.* The parkour itself is not really hard, just dangerous and long.* The amount of zombie pigman spawners has been greatly reduced, so most of the islands are easily lootable.* Most of the potion chests are located in trees which require a couple of jumps to reach. The only exception is the potion chest on Island 1, which is located in the dried-up fountain.* Zombies can very easily pull or push you into the void near island edges and ESPECIALLY on bridges.* There are 2 paths to get from Island 5 to Island 7. Going left on the pathway leads to Side Islands 6 and 7, while going right leads to Island 6. It is not recommended to go through the Side Islands route as the parkour is more risky.
<!--T:9-->
* The path leading to the entrance to the islands is at '''(2250, -3700)'''. When coming here, go to these coordinates and not the ones listed on the map.
* Path A (Northeast side of FI) has more pigmen, while Path B (Southwest side of FI) has more parkour. A large group may choose to complete both paths simultaneously to avoid clutter.
* 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 it is 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 one is vulnerable to falling zombies and players with bows.
* Snowballs are important to bring here as to avoid getting killed by mobs while looting chests.
* Zombie spawners are (almost) always marked by skeleton skulls. The exceptions are a couple of spawners that are built into the spire and mini-spires.
* Zombie pigman spawners are always marked by wither skeleton skulls. Immediately run past these if they're near.
* The Giant will spawn on the large northwest island, where paths A and B split.
* With 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 seeking a challenge.
** If wanting to fight the Giant, the strategy used in [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/727071801 this video] may be of use. Be sure to avoid jumping as the stomp attack hits as to not fall into the void.
* Grappling can be used to skip parts of the intended path.
* Having a good keyboard is recommended as failing a jump here is deadly.
==Trivia== <!--T:910-->
<!--T:1011-->
* 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.
* The origins location also received a Christmas reskin in 2020, where the islands resembled iced chocolate cupcakes and the trees resembled candy canes.
* Some players compete for the fastest time to climb the islands to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Earth Spire|Earth Spire]] on the speedrun.com leaderboards for MineZ.
==Lore== <!--T:12-->
==Lore== <!--T:1113-->* There is a [[Special:MyLanguage/Lore|Lore]] Block on the top island on the way to the large tree.
===Lore Block=== <!--T:1214-->* There is a [[Special:MyLanguage</Loretranslate>{{loreblock|Lore]] Block under lore=Held in permanent stasis at the sphere top of this spire rests the SpireGoddess of Earth, Therum.<br>
Therum is said to have molded us from the Earth, drawing and shaping us from the clay. The very land we worked, lived and died on was gifted to us by Therum. Our absolute trust was given to her and for a time our devotion was rewarded by an age of prosperity unlike any before.<br>
===Lore Block=== The floating islands around you were once a sacred grove - a location of immense beauty and respect. When Therum was sealed inside the spire's orb the very earth around this grove was wrenched into the sky.<!--T:13--br>
