Notes

For the love of James Lipton, people, I finally found it. My very first TU9 legendary seed. This thing is AMAZING. Let's start at The End and work our way backwards. The End requires only the building of a minor bridge over to the battlefield and you're there. Very easy. Then we have the Nether. It's a lone nether fortress completely surrounded by lava and unattached to any terrain. It's stunning.

The underground I didn't really have a lot of time to get into because the topside is so stunning.

So here it is. The topside. The map shows you a long, boomerang-shaped island covered in mountains. And I mean covered. There's a primary forest in the northeast and southeast corners that are small enough not to be a nuisance but big enough to supply all of your building supplies. Then, there's a really nice, flat desert due north. Finally, everything else is craggy, scarry, shady super-rocks. Cliffs. Waterfalls pouring into the lake. Some small and medium sized floaters. The rest is just Y=120 nightmare crags. Buttes, ranges, and basins galore. The shaded areas are stunning and there are plenty of them -- as evidenced by the photos above.

This is an ABSOLUTE must play.

My Review

I know what you're thinking. It's the same thought that you get when you hear some idiot say that marijuana is a horrific drug that can kill you only to find out that it's a lie the government tells you because the dead guys who were in charge in 1937 were racist losers but the current politicians can't admit that they were wrong so they keep perpetuating the lie even though SCIENCE HAS PROVEN THEM WRONG! You're thinking, surely this can't be a seed that will actually make me want to end my own life.

I want you to read the words as they flow from my fingers: this seed will make you consider holding your breath until you have no more thoughts. I want you to seriously consider skipping this one to save yourself the coma.

Nether and The End

We just talked about this. Why are you still considering this seed. Fine. You want to hear it? I'll say it. This level has one of the best nether fortresses you'll ever see. There. You happy? No? You want more? Oh, you sick, sick puppy. Fine. The End is, frankly, as easy a path to the dragon as you could possibly ask for. There is no such thing as a better The End.

How dare you make me contradict myself. Now I'm kinda rooting for your coma.

How are you even going to get to these places? There are three trees on the one-and-only tiny frozen husk of an island. What sense does that make? Clearly, you're beyond reason. You'll have to make your own mistakes, but someday you'll apologize and I'm just gonna be like, "Look, I didn't play the thing. I'm okay."
