Etymology

The wood of a tree isn't the tree -- that's the dead part. The living part is the bark. When a tree branch gets yanked off, the bark of the tree will grow around the wound. This becomes a knot. Once the tree is turned into lumber, sometimes these knots will fall away, leaving a hole.

Notes

I found a half-library with a dungeon attached to it. The nether is really sweet on this one.

My Review

This was the first seed I tested today and I scored a homerun right off the bat. I like this terrain. The northwest corner has a major swamp situation happening. Other than that, though, this is a well balanced yet very challenging map. Given the crazy cliffs in this one and some of the other features, this is really for those who like a hard challenge.

I would like to mention that in the list below, I have a lone pumpkin at 79.64.-312. He is the sole betrayer of a huge underground ravine/waterfall setup that is of interest to anyone who plays this board. But, please -- take him with you when you find him. For the love of James Lipton: he's all alone.

Etymology

The little black ant, Monomorium minimum, may seem like little more than a common household pest, but it is situated in a unique part of it's ecosystem and fulfills a vital role -- they eat bird crap. Without the black ant (and car washes), the whole of the United States would be covered in bird crap. They are unusual for insects: they have multiple queens and can grow and shed wings for mating purposes.

My Review

Simply put, this is a stunning level that will melt your brain and then compress the resultant goo into diamonds that it will then hide by the massive underground lake of lava. This is without a doubt the longest single mountain range that I have found so far. "Shadow Lake" is gorgeous and situated in a great place to build a castle. For people who like floaters, this level also contains the biggest floater I've found so far (post-update) and a crazy village that is half-situated on a floater. The waterfalls and the shadows are absolutely amazing. If you know how to handle yourself, you have got to check this one out.

Can't Miss

There are tons of things to see and do, but the best of them all is the waterfall-covered triple land bridge. It is a flashback to some of the legendary mountain seeds of the previous Minecraft build. Water flows from everywhere and the shadows are beautiful yet void of bad guys.

Etymology

"Ras le bol" is a French phrase similar to being "fed up". Both exclamations imply that the speaker can't take any more. Note: this seed name has an exclamation point at the end.

My Review

This seed is the best post-update seed I've found to date. In fact, it's so good that I'm thinking about changing my criterion for awarding the title "premium" to a seed. But sadly, it's not for everyone. This is a very difficult seed with lots of shadows and very difficult terrain. The mountains are epic, there are very few caves to clue you in to where the underground stuff is located, and when you do find something amazing underground it's covered in lava. If you're looking for a serious challenge, look no further: you just found it!

Etymology

So I'm expanding my seed influences to include other languages now. "Pouvez-vous m'aider" is French for "can you help me?"

My Review

Well, you can't ask for a better water world. This seed consists of two remote islands in the middle of what appears to be a vast ocean. Searching the depths could take weeks. However, I did find some goodies. Specifically, this is a great place to get your hands on some red stone. Beyond that, I found two dungeons and more than a handful of gold deposits. I'd say this is an expert level because even swimming between islands is a struggle and the underground is chock full of pitfalls and traps. Novices garde! (That's "Beginners beware!" in case you were wondering)

Etymology

For some reason, one of the new pop-up messages on the X-box Minecraft loading screen has ".party()" in the text field. I don't know why, but it turns out that maybe someone over at the Minecraft development suite was trying to clue me in on something.

My Review

I've got two words for you: "dueling villages". Team one takes the north village; team two the south village. Then you go to war. These villages are evenly matched and sit on almost the exact same latitude 170 meters apart. This is going to be my favorite seed for quite some time.

My Review

This level has a lot of awesome overhangs that cast creepy shadows everywhere. Take for instance the image at top, which is of a formation I'm calling "Coiled Snake Rock". Not only is the "head" of the snake casting a shadow, but the interior of the coil (which you can't see) is a sinkhole that also has shadows. This seed is a breeding ground for day-walkers, so consider yourself warned. There's even a Gargamel-style cavern just riddled with zombies.

Beyond that, you're going to find a lot of waterfalls on this level. The ravines are very nice and there's even a dungeon for those of you who like moss stone. All in all, a fine seed.
