What it does

Ember's Floating Islands adds more than 25 floating islands to newly generated worlds. Each island has a theme: a Paradise Island with a pond and basic loot, a Pillager Island with a fortress, a Tower Island with enemies waiting at the top, a Flower Island with a hut, a Nether Island with a ruined portal, a Ruin Island with old buildings, an Amethyst Island built from huge geodes, and a Shrine Island with a peculiar shrine. Some islands appear only when another mod is installed: Flower Island can carry a Waystone when Waystones is present, and a second version of Shrine Island comes with Paraglider loot when Paragliders is installed.

The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Themed floating islands

    Each island has its own layout and theme, from ruined portals and geode caves to pillager fortresses.

  2. Loot and structures

    Islands hold chests of loot and structures such as huts, towers, shrines and ruined buildings to explore.

  3. Optional mod-linked islands

    Some islands and loot only appear when a compatible mod is installed, such as Waystones or Paragliders.

  4. Two versions of one island

    Shrine Island has a second version that comes with Paraglider loot when that mod is present.
