Floating Crystals are entities that float a couple blocks in the air and provide an effect in a set area around themselves.
There are currently eight floating crystals that players can obtain for their Private Island. Each is obtained through different means; seven are able to be picked up by right-clicking them and replaced elsewhere after crafting an island (with the exception being the Bat Crystal), while only three crystals are craftable without an island.
Obtaining[]
Each Island comes with a floating crystal that provides a special benefit. Crystals will only appear if no others of the same type are on the island.

Tips[]
- If the Wheat Crystal is 2 blocks above the starting dirt, it can cover 6 blocks in each direction. A square can be made by filling in the corners.
- If the Desert Crystal is placed 5 blocks below the ending sand block, it can cover 16 blocks in all directions to create a 33x33 square space of crop that the crystal can utilize.
- The radius is omnidirectional.
