Epic Minecraft Island Description: Minecraft Floating Island

Sky Dimension

The Sky Dimension was a planned dimension in Minecraft, intended to be the opposite of the Nether.

In a live webcast on the Swedish gaming site feber.se Notch revealed that the Sky Dimension would "probably be a dream world" and that when "you go to bed there is a certain chance that you get teleported into the dream world instead. Then you will be able to do it on purpose later on."

The Sky Dimension was originally planned for the Beta 1.8 Adventure Update, but Notch put it on hold till the Nether was more fun.[1]

The original concept of the Sky Dimension was later rebranded as "The End,"[2] a dark place fittingly referred to as the "end of the game," home to the Endermen and the Ender Dragon, and a total conversion of the original idea.

Notch tweeted much later that a different "Skylands" dimension probably was still in the making. This version, completely separate from the End, was set to replace the original idea.[3] However, Jeb later stated that returning the Sky Dimension was not planned and therefore is unlikely to be done.

The most recent update to Minecraft, 1.7, includes an Amplified world type, which spawns floating islands similar to that of the unimplemented sky dimension.

History

In Indev, there was a map type called "Floating." It spawned floating islands full of terrain based on the World Theme.

The present implementation of the Sky Dimension was first announced when Notch tweeted a picture of the dimension. It was probably made to be like a "heaven," because the Nether was considered to be like a hell, and The End is similar to limbo and/or slip space. The Sky Dimension was not completely confirmed until Notch released an update via Twitter stating: "And because PC Gamer made such a big deal of the Sky Dimension, I guess I'll have to finish it. Consider it confirmed."
