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." Originally, the Sky Dimension was hidden within the region 0 (Overworld) code. However, starting in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 3, it was given its own region: Region 2, Region 1 being the Nether. However, instead of Sky Dimension chunks spawning within its region, they would generate in the Overworld on Multiplayer servers. This is most likely due to an issue with map generation and saving causing Sky Dimension chunks to save over Overworld chunks rather than being made in their own, separate map files like the Nether does. If a world with Sky Dimension chunks is brought from Multiplayerto Singleplayer, the area of the chunks will always be Plainsbiome, even if snow generated naturally on the ground.
Like the normal world, you can also findDungeons, Iron, Coal, and Gold. The only mobs that currently spawn in the sky dimension are chickens and very rarelycows and pigs. Below the islands of the Sky Dimension is nothing but the Void and a layer of clouds.
This was all said on minecraft wiki, over a year ago. The idea wasn't implemented, and nobody followed through. Notch said there WILL be floating islands, yet he resigned. Jeb_ has done nothing about them, leaving the Minecraft Forums full of lies. I think that this would be an incredibly interesting map type. Anyone else? It's completely finished. Yet nobody published it yet to minecraft. Aether sucks... So can we not just have a map type to shut down Aether?
Not Really a bad idea... but they are working on other things right now. Maybe they will go through with notches word later, however, this isnt happening anytime soon.
Aether mod is superior to this, and is way more loved, sorry but They're removed the floating overworld lands, but they're going to add the Aether mod (after they've updated the Nether). So we should all first come up with new Nether content to quick up the progress before we suggest stuff about the sky dimension.
No they wont, no proof of this.
