Notes

The ravine complex is what sold me, plus there's a lot of red stone and diamonds just floating out there in the open, so that's pretty sweet.

Notes

If you like ravines, this seed is probably one you'll enjoy. I found one with a frozen ice sheet covering the top, one with a curved stalactite ceiling, and one that is just a bear to get into only visible through a small hole in the ground. Good stuff.

Notes

Without question, this is one of the most complex underground areas that I've found so far. I counted no less than six underground cave complexes that all branch out toward X=0,Z=0. That means that there's a possibility that some of them may meet to form one single massive complex -- which would be outrageous -- or you could dig to connect them. Conversely, the top side is full of villages. Lots of stuff to see and do.

Villages

  • [341.80.276] village, x10, guard tower, water well, blacksmith, pumpkins
  • [101.71.276] village, x2, water well

  • [-220.70.5] village, x9, water well
  • [84.74.53] village, x12, guard tower, water well

Underground

  • [-212.56.256] stalactite cave
  • [-189.55.-406] cavern beside lake
  • [-196.25.330] abandoned mineshaft, x5 gold
  • [366.28.-378] gorgeous massive crater
