Early this morning Notch shared a brief preview of a new "sky dimension" that he worked on a bit last night. The new dimension looks to be a series of floating islands. While this was something Notch was probably just toying around with initially -- or joking about -- it looks like thanks to PC Gamer's quick reporting of the tweet, he's now decided to finish it.
No other details are known about when this new sky dimension will make its way to Minecraft, but check out the screenshots below.
Because of course the aether mod is out and playable. And this is the final version of the islands.P.S financial tip, buy minecraft parachute stock now.
I love the idea, its going to be great because I can't wait to trick my friends into falling out of the sky.the only thing I wonder how you would get up there or is it like the neither?
You know, this could be the earliest look Notch shares of the Aether. I bet he's bound to expand that idea, don't worry. Maybe Notch has plans to use this as a base for the Aether everyone wants, so I'm still betting that, if Notch wants the game to sell high, he will be rewiring this dimension to turn it into the Aether soon enough.
I think that this is a complete waste of time. Its just some random floating islands. There isnt't any new content that would make it worthy, plus if someone wants a "sky" world then the aether mod is so much better. Instead of doing this as someone else has said, notch should work in new content for the nether. It is simply to simple compared to the "normal" world. Besides getting some blocks and shrooms, the nether isnt even worth visiting.
@b4k3mono stfu i love this idea it brings in a ton of new possibilites i would love to have a sky rollercoaster or some new types of flying mobs to hunt down and i play minecraft to play minecraft not some modded out game that doesnt even resemble minecraft anymore i say bring on that new sky dimension down with aether
Looks good this would make it much easier to build in the sky i hate making giant flat grass platforms i want it to have more hills and mountains? what do you guys think?

i think you would die (because it is high up =P) but you would hit the main land so that you could build stairs up to the region!
