Top 5 Minecraft 1.16 seeds for floating islands

Floating islands are rare to find in Minecraft seeds, as they are levitating pieces of land that players can explore and build on. Islands or pieces of land are incapable of floating by themselves midair in the real world under normal conditions. To even produce the illusion of a levitation, experts need to employ masterful architecture, science, and sometimes, even misdirection.

On the other hand, Minecraft occasionally bends the rules of gravity in some of the seeds that its level generation system produces. Though they are rare, gamers can find floating islands organically.

This article showcases a collection of the very best Minecraft seeds that contain floating islands.

This Minecraft seed contains a small floating island with a healthy population of trees growing on top of it. This floating island is not the biggest in the world, but it is just the right size for a player to develop into a small base.

Minecraft players who decide to play on this seed should be extra careful of the nearby lava. During the exploration of this seed by the author of this article, the lava on the surface caused some nearby trees to catch fire.

Whatever each player wants to do with the lava is up to them. Perhaps it could be removed or even moved with some buckets under the island as a form of protection.

1) Floating Village House Island

This Minecraft video by YouTuber ibxtoycat features a seed that contains a floating island with a villager house. This seed is incredible and fun to explore.

Players can quickly find a village close to spawn, where they can find a floating island with a house and a single villager. This villager must like being left alone or happened to be isolated by a freak accident with magic.

Something that could be neat for a player to test is to see if the villager could become employed with a profession. All a player would need to do is place a job site block such as a smoker on the floating island, and then wait and see if the villager takes on the profession.

Gamers can find an additional floating island not too far from the village one, amid a savanna biome.

This seed is also very friendly for those who play Minecraft on mobile devices. This would give players access to an exceptional village for their on-the-go adventures.
