Floating Island

Floating Islands are masses of land that appear in the sky. Just like in forests, you can find trees and grass blocks growing over dirt blocks, with some stones and ores in the ground. They usually have a building made of ore bricks and a chest inside. The quality of the island can easily be identified by the type of brick the building is made of. The bricks show the quality of the treasure inside the chest, while the wall material represents the quality and quantity of the ore that can be found in or around the island. The monsters that spawn here are the same as the ones from the forest.

Hunting
Use a Depth Meter to find the floating islands, for every world it is normally around 400 to 500 feet, though can sometimes be found above and below that height. Your best bet for finding one is to go to 430 feet and move horizontally. (Keep in mind these measurements are for a normal/medium sized map, 430 feet in a large map, may not even be as tall as the highest mountain.) On a large map, the islands are approximately 650 to 900 feet above ground. You can also fire a Meteor Shot up into the air, and if it bounces back, it's almost certain that a Floating Island is above you.

Loot

 * Lucky Horseshoe
 * Rocket Boots
