Notes

The lava cave is without question the highlight of this particular seed. It's huge and full of bad guys. You could theoretically follow the lava river in both directions for more cavern, but the cave is cool just to see.

  • [-411.71.53] village, x3, water well

A double dose of dungeons and a lot of flatland make this a great place to raise a small village.

Notes

I like this seed because it's basically the three medium islands in the middle surrounded by open water. I could see a lot of interesting metagames happening given that each of the islands has a different biome.

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.

  • [-242.31.-96] abandoned mineshaft, x1 diamond, x14 red stone, small underground ravine

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.
