Floating Island Height Question.

[Lord English]

Are the island stuck to one height? I'm in a large world and have found only 3 islands at ~750 (depth meter) across the length of the map. Is it possible for there to be more islands above and below this level?

[VagueCryptid]

Yes, it is possible. I've had some be at the edge of space, and have some need about 20 ropes to get to off of a mountain. They can be anywhere in the sky, as long as their relatively high up.

use gravity potions, and try explore most of the sky, so youll certainly find all of them

With this method, be careful. You still take fall damage with these, so before you land, reverse gravity one more time, and you won't die.(Unless you have the Lucky Horseshoe/wings.)

I saw this trick once that was based on:

1. Floating islands were part of the ground, so if you find large holes in the ground with walls that have no cave, there likely is an island above.
2. If there is water or clay below the hole, even likelier (dunno why though)

I tested it and it worked nicely. I use a water bolt spell to test it, since water bolts only disappear after the 4th hit or going of the map edges, so if there's something above the water bolt will come back down.

The water bolt method is extremely tedious though. I know of the grav potion + lucky horshoe method, I just watned to know if it was possible for the islands to spawn elsewhere. Thanks for the answers guys.
