Beyond The Clouds
Beyond The Clouds generates small and medium floating islands in the sky, each copying a familiar biome such as a lake, plains, cherry grove, swamp or mossy stones.
What it does
Floating islands spawn above the normal terrain, and each one mirrors a known biome. Lake Island is a compact island built around a clear pond, Plains Island is open grassland with wildflowers and gentle hills, and Cherry Island is a grove of pink-blossomed trees suspended in the sky. Swamp Island has dark water, overhanging vines and lily pads, while Mossy Island is covered in moss-covered stones and thick undergrowth. The plains and swamp islands also come in larger forms, with rolling terrain, deeper water, roots resembling mangroves and patches of fog.
The islands are meant to be crossed, so players can bridge the gaps between them and collect vanilla resources from each one. Along with the island types above, Beyond The Clouds places small islands in the sky and can broaden its biome set using desert, forest, mushroom and other vanilla biome types. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.7 only, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Sky World is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, server required and client optional, under All rights reserved. Clouds Unbound is also NeoForge only for 1.21.1, and it needs client and server like this mod, but is not open source. SkyBlock Biome Islands covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt 1.21 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and only the server needs it.
