Cloud blocks areblocks that can be found only on the top of Normal Worlds , between versions 1.6 and 2.0. Cloud blocks occurred naturally at the height limit (25 blocks from the surface). Some users mistaked the Cloud and Plain blocks for being different materials, when, in fact, they were identical.
Clouds didn't cast a shadow(shadows were removed in 2.0) even if artificially built by the player, regardless of altitude or whether they have been painted.
These clouds, made from plain blocks, do not cast shadows. These Tile blocks, however, do.(shadows removed in 2.0)
Clouds were always confined to lie within a 16x16 square, and these squares are the Chunks in the map data. This photo illustrates that:
Ladders have been built on each patch of Flowers(originally a block before 2.0), marking a square grid. Each cloud is contained within a 16x16 square boundary.
Trivia[]
- It was common for some Edeners to make a Ladder to the clouds and make a cloud walk or house on the clouds.
- Clouds, for some reason, don't occur naturally on Flat Worlds.
- Clouds normally had areas where they are 2 blocks deep. this area covers most of the cloud.
- There was a glitch that a cloud will spawn completely black.
