A collection of floating land masses, 'Floating Islands of the Eternal Abyss' contains many features. Each island has a corresponding biome to ensure variety in foliage and aesthetics. This map keeps to the survival formula common in most survival maps, though once you reach the other islands, the story changes and there is much more to explore.
