What to know about the Floating Islands[edit | edit source]

  • 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, after paths A and B split.
  • Due to the Giant’s high-knockback attacks, it is extremely dangerous to fight it here. Only do so if seeking a challenge.
