Version: XBL 1.5 (TU12) (PC equiv 1.2.3)

Notes

The single best TU12 seed I've found to date and one of my favorite seeds I've ever found. It is without question a great little spot for those who are looking for a serious challenge. It's a single massive, gnarled island full of jungle trees and hills. Daywalkers are everywhere and making to The End is going to be a huge project. Highly, highly recommended.
