This spell creates a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk remains for the duration, and can hold up to 500 pounds. If more weight is placed on it, the spell ends, and everything on the disk falls to the ground.
The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. It can move across uneven terrain, up or down stairs, slopes and the like, but it can't cross an elevation change of 10 feet or more. For example, the disk can't move across a 10-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it was created at the bottom.
If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can't move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends.
* - (a drop of mercury)
Sadly no. The disc is immobile and follows the caster so unless the unseen servant casts it... you are stuck.
If you have a thousand pounds of loot, can you cast this spell twice to carry it all, or does the second casting replace the first?
could I use it to drag something? And if so how much weight could it drag?
cool spell

Nothing in the spell's duration or description states that you're limited to a single disc at a time.
Put a 25 ft ladder on it and stand at the top- free one way elevator.
Anything's a free one-way elevator if the one way you want is downwards and you're not a coward
This spell to me seems dubious in origin since its source is just Basic Rules without any page number. And reading through my copy of the Basic Rules, this specific spell is nowhere to be found.
It's spells like this that make me dubious when people say there are 516 spells in 5E. They'll do a quick DND Beyond search not recognizing that stuff like this exists.
This is the "open source" version of tenser's floating disk from the Player's Handbook, so it is a legitimate spell. It's true that it's not in the current version of the Basic Rules; it may have been in there at some point in the past.
Perhaps replacement, rather than duplication. Tensor is from the 2014 version.
Can I cast the spell under something then lift it up to drag it around?
No, the spell says the disk appears 'in an unoccupied space' and that it appears '3 feet above the ground' - both to me are reasons why you could not have the disk appear underneath something or someone, and lift them up. The space would be occupied in the case of a creature or a body, and potentially occupied depending on how large the object is. And it doesn't say the disk 'appears up to 3 feet above the ground', it's 3 feet.
