My Review

This is one of my favorite desert worlds from the ones that I've found so far. Not only is it a good level for beginning players to enjoy, but there are a few surprise challenges hidden around the map -- once you get off the main island -- that would appeal to even the most seasoned players. I'll let you find out about those on your own. Good mountains, plenty of deep water, and just enough wood to make it interesting, but not hard.

These are the burning sands that consume the majority of this board. Explore them at your own peril. At right: enjoying the moonrise above the keys.

My Review

I liked this seed. The most notable thing about it was the prevalence of visible resources that were just sitting around out in the open as you walked by. Very convenient for new players. However, there are also some interesting caves about and plenty of trees. Well balanced and full of exploration, I recommend this seed to anyone.

My Review

You only want a piece of this board if you're looking for trouble. To say that trees are sparse is an understatement. The most interesting thing about this level is how the rocks spring up out of the sand like cacti. Speaking of which, if you like dying things green, then you'd love this level because otherwise it's just you and the sound of sand being crunched under your feet... for HOURS!

Items of Interest

• [-122.75.-37] zombie cave with waterfall
• [-172.66.-154] a massive hidi-hole
• [-165.67.-173] coal cave
• [-143.76.-184] waterfall

Looks like a massive cave in the side of the mountain, doesn't it? Wrong! Don't even bother climbing up there -- it's just a divot in this sandtrap.

My Review

You gotta give it to Minecraft, some of these random number seeds are pretty good. This one is no exception. One of the best of the day, this seed has one of the best spawn points I've seen so far. It's a perfect beginner world. The spawn features an almost complete hidi-hole plus a short-cut cave that runs under the hidi-hole. Plus, there's trees everywhere. Top quality stuff. Lots of pigs, a nice hilly terrain interlaced with water, and an inordinate amount of cacti.

Items of Interest
