The second map type and possibly the most bizarre is "floating". In it, you will find multiple floating "islands". Each of these floats high enough that on "normal" view distance it appears as though there is no ground. Regardless of how far you jump down from, the fall will kill you unless you make a stair down to it. But there is no point as the entire "surface" is covered with Bedrock. It is important to note that gravity works strangely here, as you will sometimes find single-layers of sand/gravel floating without a support. Digging out or placing blocks next to these single-layers of sand/gravel will cause the entire layer to fall to the ground (sometimes taking you with it). This can pose an interesting challenge for building.
