Moog's Floating Islands

Moog's Floating Islands is a pair of Overworld surface structures added by Moog's Voyager Structures. Each one is a single pre-built island of vanilla blocks, placed in the surface structure step. The small island is a standalone build, and the large island is a bigger build that also has villagers placed in its template.

The islands add no new blocks, items or mobs. Their loot and inhabitants are vanilla content, and the pack does not change their loot tables or placement beyond the density setting described below.

Generation

Both islands generate in the Overworld, in any biome tagged as overworld. In this pack that covers 279 biomes, including oceans, rivers, plains, deserts, jungles, savannas, snowy plains and mountain biomes. Each variant is its own structure set, so the two islands roll independently of each other.

The pack's Sparse Structures setting controls how often they appear. The small island (mvs:floating_islands) has a spacing of 360 chunks and a separation of 180 chunks. The large island (mvs:large_floating_island) has a spacing of 309 chunks and a separation of 233 chunks. In a 26 km² sample of the pack's world, each island was observed about once per 26 km². Neither island reshapes the ground beneath it. Terrain adaptation is set to none, so the island is placed as built and the surrounding terrain is not carved or filled to match it. Because the islands are not tied to a horror biome or structure type, the pack's horror density changes do not affect them.

The pack's overlap guard may skip an island where its footprint would overlap a larger structure from another set. A player who finds a village or other structure nearby should not expect an island to be there.

Layout

Each island is a single prebuilt template with no sub-pieces, so the whole island is placed as one unit. The small island is 26 × 19 × 30 blocks and the large island is 23 × 28 × 26 blocks.

The templates convert blue concrete blocks to water during generation, so any blue sections of the build become water.

Inhabitants

The small island has no mobs placed in its template. The large island has villagers placed in its template, so a player who reaches it will find villagers on the platform.

Loot

The large island's chests use the vanilla shipwreck, stronghold crossing and stronghold library tables. The best entries are in the library chest: a Smithing Template (100%), a Scroll (93%), an Ancient Knowledge Fragment (83%), an Uncommon Ink (73%) and an Enchanted Book (66%). The shipwreck table adds Iron Ingots, Emeralds, Lapis Lazuli and Gold Ingots, and a 13% chance of a Diamond.

The small island's chests draw from the mod's own house tables (mvs:houses_common, mvs:houses_uncommon and mvs:houses_rare). The rare table can produce diamonds, gold, iron and lapis, while the common table is mostly food, sticks and emeralds. The generated tables below give the full contents.

Tips

The large island's library chest holds the best enchantment and smithing materials, so it is worth searching even if the rest of the island looks sparse. The small island's rare house chests can yield iron, gold, lapis and diamonds.
