A Minecraft player has created a mod based on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Sky Islands. Minecraft players often create impressive projects based on anime, movies, and games like the Zelda franchise. These projects bring reproductions of areas from games such as Clock Town from Majora's Mask, complete recreations of Ocarina of Time, and homages to more recent entries of the Zelda series.
Different areas in Breath of the Wild have been recreated in Minecraft, like the Gerudo Desert and the Great Plateau. Another game that has received the affection of Minecraft players is Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, with re-imaginings of areas such as the Sky Islands. Available after finishing the tutorial, Tears of the Kingdom's Sky Islands can be seen in the skies all over Hyrule. By exploring this area, players get to know a beautiful setting and discover more about the Zonai tribe. Now, a Minecraft player has decided to create their version of one of the best-known Tears of the Kingdom areas and share it with the community.
Reddit user LikeTsl002 has created a Minecraft mod giving its twist to the locale from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Available for download on Modrinth, the mod is called Sky Lands and adds a new biome full of floating islands made from a new material called skyrock. The mod also includes a new mob and boss, two types of chests that require a key to open, and new plants and wood for players to find. In addition, Sky Islands has movement options based on Tears of the Kingdom, allowing Minecraft players to skydive and glide.
Minecraft Mod Creates the Sky Islands from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The mod created by the player is currently more focused on exploration, as it is its first version. However, they intend to add more content in future updates. Among the player's plans are the addition of four new biomes, at least four new bosses, two dungeons, "and much more." Other future content on the modder's list is the possible inclusion of a new dimension, and the inclusion of Zonai devices, a Tears of the Kingdom's technology used to create the most diverse types of mechanisms.
Minecraft and Zelda are two franchises that have an adventure and exploration component. Despite this commonality, a Zelda DLC for Minecraft has never happened. An eventual crossover with Tears of the Kingdom, specifically, could give Minecraft players a more robust building system and new enemies to make the adventures even more exciting.

WHERE TO PLAY
Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
