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. For instance, golden bricked islands tend to have gold and silver ores. The monsters that spawn here are the same as the ones from the forest.

Hunting
Use a Depth Meter to find the floating islands. They can usually be found at these heights: Small map - 320 ft Medium map - 400-500ft (430ft is your best bet) Large map - 650-900ft A quick way to find them easily is to fire a Meteor Shot up into the air. If it bounces back a few seconds later, it's almost certain that a Floating Island is above you (note the angle that you fire up at).

Loot
Chests on a Floating Island may contain a variety of items including:


 * Lucky Horseshoe
 * Starfury
 * Shiny Red Balloon
