Natural generation

Floatatos naturally generate in clouds in the Potato dimension; these generate in any biome, around Y-level 110, hovering over the void. Potato clouds never generate underground and they very rarely touch terrain. A potato cloud has on average around 60 floatato blocks.

Usage

Placing

Feature unique to floatatoes is that they can be placed 2 blocks away from the player midair, without looking at another block.

Sounds

This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.
 
Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.
