Etymology

This song rocked the world in 1986 when it appeared in the movie Top Gun. This song made Tom Cruise a household name and Kenny Loggins career after it hit #2 on the charts.

Notes

The H-shaped ravine super-complex is something you should take the time to see -- especially since it goes all the way down to Y=12 and there's some gold and red stone to be had.

My Review

There aren't that many mountains, but there are some really interesting formations. I found some nice ravines and there are a few places where you can do some deep water exploration. The nether is nice, though you're going to have to build a great many bridges to get around.

Etymology

Pleasant Valley Sunday was a song by The Monkees that was released in 1967. It went to #3 on the Billboard charts. If you are too young to know who The Monkees are, you should go and ask your parents. If your parents are too young to know who The Monkees are, leave me a comment below so I know to kill myself in the morning.

My Review

This seed is about as flat as it gets. If you like mountains -- this is not the seed for you. There are two perfect dueling villages at 21.76.200 that you can combine because they are so close together.

Nether

Wide open. Tons of lava and floating islands. A gem.

Etymology

Groundhogs are known as woodchucks in some parts of the United States. Of course, since groundhogs are indigenous to the United States, some of you might not know what that is. A groundhog is a type of ground squirrel. Of course, all of those are indigenous to the United States, too. So really, this has become too complicated an etymology. My advice: Google it.

My Review

This was a really simple yet cool level. I thought it would be perfect for beginners. It is almost entirely desert. There are, however, a few mountains in the southeast corner. So someone new to the game would have plenty of cool locations to set up shop and then experiment with some of the more advanced level stuffs. I know most people don't care about deep water exploration, but I found some really cool spots to dive down for stuff. If that's your game, this seed is also for you.
