My Review
This seed is a great seed for two reasons. First, the surface has some very interesting formation, some great mountains with deep, flat basins, and plenty of resources to simply scoop up as you're wondering around. Secondly -- and more importantly -- I found through sheer happenstance an underground lava lake and cave complex that is absolutely massive. It is so much so of a must-see that I took the Can't Miss portion out of this write-up and gave it it's own post with photos and instructions. This thing is gorgeous. But even if you're not one to dig down for your fun, this seed sands on its own as a premium-rated seed.
Can't Miss
Above is the first ever episode of "This Old Seed". Here is me showing you exactly how to get to the Epic Cave of Fire. The link below goes to the special bonus post I wrote up on the same subject.
The Nether
So, I took a hike into The Nether on this level. I spawned in a very bland underground tunnel system that dead-ended in every direction save one. When I climbed up to the bedrock wall and then stair-stepped my way through up to the main level, the world really opened up.
Really interesting here was the lava island, located in the middle of the primary lava lake underneath of a thick overhang. This would be a perfect spot to build a little house -- provided you could get there.

- Obsidian: countless, I stopped at 98 pieces
- Coal: 487 pieces
- Iron: 212 pieces
- Redstone: 145 pieces
- Gold: 57 pieces
- Diamonds: 12 pieces
- Lapis Lazuli: 9 pieces
Images
Here is an interesting rocky outcrop from the side of a mountain. At bottom, you can see the top of a nice hidi-hole. At right, this is one of the two photos I took of the Epic Cave of Fire. The "bridges" that you see crossing the lava were added by me so that I could get inside this thing. Bring lots of torches.
As for the shots I got from The Nether, the first one is of a nice island in the middle of the lava lake. The second is a wide open view of the entire nether area from where I dug myself out of the underground tunnel system where my portal spawned.
