Floating World
Floating World adds a surface layer of floating land above an almost flat Overworld, with villages and other structures placed above ground.
What it does
The mod builds a floating layer above the nearly flat world, so the terrain resembles a surface sitting high in the sky. Most structures that vanilla Minecraft registers still generate, and villages are placed above ground within the y256 limit. Density values for the Overworld were changed, which changes how structures appear in the modified dimension, and the other dimension was modified as well.
Installation needs Nobie Link, which the mod lists as a dependency. Only the server must run Floating World; players may add it, but they do not have to. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across five release versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, under the MIT License, which means the mod is not open source.
Key features
Floating surface layer
A floating layer sits above an almost flat world, giving the landscape a raised, sky-based appearance.
Vanilla structures above ground
Most structures registered by Minecraft still generate, and villages appear above ground within y256.
Modified Overworld density
Some density values of the Overworld were changed, which affects where structures generate in that dimension.
Nobie Link dependency
Nobie Link is required and must be installed alongside Floating World on every loader.

How it compares
Flat Dimensions is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20 – 1.21.10 on the same four loaders; only the server needs it, and players may skip it. TreeToppler is open source under the MIT License and runs only on Fabric for 1.20.2 – 1.20.3; both the server and every player need it. Overworldify is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.19 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is needed on the server, with the client optional.
