How to build a house in 3008

The Floating House is a very rare and special type of plot that spawns on pillars, accessible by building very high up a pillar or using the VIP commands, only at Private Servers.

Locating

The easiest way to locate it is to access Private VIP server and teleport with an offset to 804 studs in Y. Given the right chances, the player will teleport near the floating house. The normal way of finding it is to locate the special pillar and to build up until you reach the house. The floating house's flooring should be behind the pillar, you can tell which side is the front and back by locating the pillar numbers.

The exact chance of a pillar becoming a special variant and containing the floating house is 1.0148137175024%, or approximately a 49.73% chance to spawn per server on average. Be wary that multiple houses can spawn in a single server.

The floating house spawns at an altitude of 800 studs (very, very high), and the pillar it spawns on has a light grey concrete texture at the base instead of black, this is the only way to discern the special pillar. (See below). The pillar is always plain. A good way to tell from a distance is to rule out any pillars that are damaged, have electrical outlets, or ladders and pallets. Before 2.5, it had a brown wood texture to distinct it from the diamond-patterned grey bases of regular pillars, You cannot obtain badges in Private VIP Servers so finding the chocolate will not give you the badge.

The floating house is a reference to the floating sky base in the animated series SCP Confinement, specifically chapter 6

Contents

The Floating House is structured of normal props and furniture items in a normal server. There is a chocolate bar inside in the floating house called "DEN GODA CHOKLAD", or "THE GOOD CHOCOLATE" in Swedish. It has a light blue wrapper and is based off of a real Ikea product. As of the 2.6 update, the chocolate gives 3 health and 85 energy points. Storing the chocolate in your inventory gives you the badge, "The Sacred Chocolate". This chocolate restocks twice every Monday and Friday just like all other food items. It is possible to have an infinite amount of chocolate in one server or to collect them. In private servers, you can artificially multiply chocolates by decreasing the day and night times.

Strategies for Getting to the House

The first and easiest strategy is to get two flat or large items such as a bed or a pallet and keep placing them on the side of the pillar, each time raising them a bit from the previous object and repeating until you get to the house. Another similar and less risky option is to tilt the objects at an axis where you can walk up them like stairs and wrapping around the pillar like a snake. The second strategy is way less practical, but gives permanent access to the house. You can have a group of friends continue getting flat or large objects and putting them like stairs going all the way up to the house. This will not be easy! If playing on VIP, you can use the mod menu to teleport to the house.
