Blocks

• Floatrock and Aerobloom blocks from the Skylands are now obtainable in the overworld without the Preview datapack

  • Floatrock can be found in patches near the surface of the Windswept biomes

    • It can then be duplicated by combining 8 Cobblestone with 1 Floatrock in a crafting table

    • Has a new deep red color to it, similar to that of Mangrove wood.

Preview Additions
