Minecraft: Create Floating Island

Floating islands make your Minecraft world stand out visually from other worlds. This practical tip shows you how to create such an island.

Create a floating island in Minecraft

Depending on its size, such a construction project requires a lot of patience. However, the result speaks for itself.

1. To build a floating island, equip yourself with several stacks of earth and a shovel. You can fly in creative mode, which makes the company easier. If you don't want to fly, take several ladders with you.
2. Find a suitable place for your island and build yourself vertically with the earth upwards. For a smaller island, you should build at least 30 blocks in height.
3. Once you have reached the desired height, create a flat surface. You can adjust the size of this area to your requirements.
4. Now fly under the island. Build a layer of earth beneath the surface that is slightly smaller than the previous one.
5. Repeat this until it looks like a piece of earth is hanging under your island.
6. If you want to create the island without flying, start at the smallest level and work your way up, surface by surface.
7. Finally, remove the blocks of earth that you used to build yourself up. So your island is floating.
