Seed Number: 999 999 999 99
Version: XBL 1.4 (TU9) (no PC equiv)

Etymology

I was just goofing around showing someone how seeds work and I struck gold. That's eleven "9s". Think of it as 999-999-999 and then two more 9s for good luck. Hope that helps.

Notes

I'm almost positive that there are so many holes and ravines in this level that it's impossible to walk from any one edge of the map to the other without falling into something. This seed looks like Swiss cheese. The seed contains a landmark rock formation I shall henceforth refer to as "The Penguin". You'll get why when you're standing next to it. Unless you look at it from the wrong side, in which case it looks like what's left after you shoot the penguin in the spleen. So just come around to the other side and you'll get what I'm talking about.

So Where's the Ender Portal?

Follow the snow to the penguin; when you find him, only a walk from his left shoulder to the bend in the river will give you the portal that you seek.

Of course, you can just look up the coords below like you always do. But doesn't that sound like something you'd find on a treasure map? You know you like it.

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!

My Review

There are some places in this world where people go to get away from it all. They load up their crap, fly down to a beach, and kick back for a week or so just to unwind. Then, there are some places in this world where people go when their plane crashes into the ocean and by some miracle they aren't pureed into mush. This is such a place. Searching the oceans of this vast wasteland will offer nothing but heartache and depression.

Map

There is something to be said for the huge flatland desert island in the northwest. There is very little to be said about ravines and caves because no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find any.

[TOP] This is a shot of the "Oil Rig" landmark -- so named because it resembles a deep-sea oil platform. Of course, you probably guessed that already. [Above] This was a really cool, super-thin land bridge that framed this tree nicely. Us photographers refer to this as "frame within a frame".

Etymology

The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most useful equations in all of geometry. This is one in a series of mathematically-inspired seed names.

My Review

This is a beautiful, scenic map chock full of numerous rock formations that are absolutely gorgeous. However, above and beyond all the others are the Pythagorean Quintuplets -- a series of four individual mountains that are so close together you could connect them with bridges. The first three (Harriet, Judy, and Celeste) are steep craggy rocks that are hard to climb but full of resources like iron. The fourth -- Bertha -- however is a massive imposing Everest-like mountain full of creepers and death.

A view of the quintuplets. The three little ones up front (from left to right) are Celeste, Judy, and Harriet. Behind them (far left) in the distance is Bertha.

At right, this is actually an open-air cave out of which is pouring a waterfall. You can find it at -9.87.157. Really cool find and if you kill off the zombie, you can glowstone this thing and make it your living room.

My Review

This level is half icy and half grassy, but there are enough trees, caves, and formations breaking up the monotony that I rate this seed acceptable for players of all skill levels -- including beginners. After I finished mapping out this level, my friend GVdaMan and I went back to the dead drop at 187.73.166 and jumped down the hole. After a little exploration, I was able to break through into a massive hidden cave complex full of gold, red stone, and other goodies.

The Nether

So, my buddy GVisDaMan and I have been playing this level for a little bit and we took a little trip into the Nether to see what was up. Boy, were we in for a surprise. The Nether is entirely open, with lava on the floor as far as you can see. There are multiple lava falls and getting to the glowstone on the ceiling is a project and a half.

We spawned on a ledge on the side of a cliff surrounded by a drop to our death and a flowing river of lava that cut off our path. We had to build a bridge over the lava flow just to have a look around. Later on, I went back and dug through the cliff in the opposite direction and found some good flatland/soul sand on which to build a fort.

Images

You know, most levels have very few landmarks that you can identify just by looking at them. This, however, is a landmark formation I call, "The Tortoise and the Hare". If you stare at it long enough, it makes sense. At right, this is a medium floater hanging out just past a large cliff.

There are two photos of the Nether. The first is a view looking southwest from the ledge that we got spawned onto. Digging through the side wall will take you to a nice flat area for a fort. The second image is a shot from that flat area of a nearby lava fall.

My Review

This is one of the best seeds I've found so far. It is chock full of all kinds of amazing formations and great mountains to climb. Second best of the day only because of the massive ice sheet in the bottom left corner that negates about a quarter of the map, I would recommend this board to anyone just so they can see it. Just make sure you've got something built by dusk or you're doomed. This level is particularly awesome because the amazing features are scattered across the whole of the map. So I can't really send you to one quadrant to see them all, you're going to have to take a hike. Don't worry... it's worth it.

• [-139.67.156] medium cave

Images

I'm sorry: there was no way that I was limiting this seed to just two photographs; it is way too good looking. I can't swear that the sugarcane will be growing out of the lava fall when you get there, but this is what I found while wondering around at night. Below that, this is a thick, overhang/land bridge combination that provides a fair amount of shade for day walkers.

At right, here are three bonus images that really help sell how diverse and exciting this seed really is. The first is a shot of what technically is an overhang attached to a tall, ultra-thin spire. If you planned it right, you could run a stairwell all the way to the top with about twenty cobblestone.

Below that, I found this perfect obelisk standing in the middle of a field. The final image is a shot of a massive multi-directional overhang situated above a medium-sized lava fall. Also near this location was a deep pitfall cave. If you plant your stones right, you could conceivably descend from Y=100 to bedrock in about one minute.

My Review

So, let me start out by saying that I found this mountain that looks like an iguana... to me... so I'm going to refer to it at times as Iguana Rock, but you shouldn't feel obligated to do the same. That said, this was a nice level, with steaks and patches of desert scattered throughout the world that act like roads if you need to keep track of where you're going. You are going to experience a lot of day-walkers (hence the "advanced" rating) and this level also features a lot of cliff-side caves that are hard to get to. This seed is definitely worth a look.

My Review

I could not finish this seed fast enough. The second I saw this thing, I knew I had discovered something awesome. You could, theoretically walk through about 40% of this board and be like, "What? This thing is crap. It's all flat and boring." Keep walking! When you get to the southwest quadrant, that's when all hell is going to break loose. Craters, creepers, overhangs, multiple land bridges conjoining, pitfalls, and some things you've got to see to believe. If you're a beginner, load it up just to see it, but don't expect to survive. Experts: good luck. I was this close (you can't see it, but I'm indicating with narrow fingers) to rating this one suicidal. This board has so many landmarks that I couldn't write them all down on a single piece of paper and, indeed, if I've missed any, please add them in the comments below along with the coordinates.

How difficult is this level, you may be asking? Well I'll tell you. I played this thing first on creative wussy mode -- AND DIED when I took a header off the top of a mountain and fell from 128 to 64. Alright. Then I played it on normal and had my ass handed to me as, apparently, I may be a beginner. This board is epic.

Can't Miss

I could choose any number of things that this board has that you'd have to see. However, one in particular was stunning. It wasn't the perfectly formed crater and it wasn't the mountain above the cloud line and it wasn't any of the floaters -- of which there are MANY! No. At 243.72.15, I found what I will refer to as the "Black Waterfall" -- a waterfall contained within a shortcut cave that is so narrow and dark that no light illuminates the water. It is without question unique, beautiful, and guarded by creepers in the dozens if you play anything other than creative. It is a must-see attraction.

This is not even close to a complete list, by the way. There were cliff-side caves I couldn't get to and floaters I could barely see and couldn't get the coordinates for. The northwest quadrant has a desert of all things and there is a large amount of flat land for those who like to build large castles. There is truly something for everyone on this board.

Images

There was no way I was doing this review with only two photos. You'll have to bear with me as I try to cover all of these shots.

So, working from top to bottom, this is a general shot of the southwest quadrant that shows two waterfalls converging and then running to the ocean. You can also see an overhang on the right covered in trees that houses some creepers.

Next is two massive floaters hovering above an already elevated hilltop. Deep in the background of this particular shot, you can see the tallest of the mountains.

Third is the double waterfall shot. There are no less than twenty waterfalls in this seed. The final large shot is a thick land bridge adjacent to a lava pit (left). Many skeletons live under here.

The final three shots are the smaller ones to the right. The first shows a variety of formations you're going to find here, including a heavy overhang that casts a deep shadow. Next is a waterfall that was near my spawn, unique in that there's a cave behind it. Finally, the last shot is a conflagration of several land bridges that leaves this massive area in perpetual nighttime.

Full Map: ghastblaster

This level is absolutely gorgeous and even though it's only a day old, it is ascending the ranks so quickly that I figured I should get off my ass and post a map so that people could maximize their entertainment value. No coords because again I was being lazy yesterday, but it's full of stuff. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Full Map: GRAYWS

So, yesterday I posted a link to a really funny YouTube video series that just got started up from Ready Up Live. They are reviewing seeds by playing them -- so their more "lets plays" than actual seed reviews, but for the first 17 seconds you get a pretty go idea of what the level looks like. Then they burrow underground and chaos ensues. You should check them out at the link below.

Anyway, their second BMS video is for a seed that they came up with called GRAYWS (all caps), which is an acronym of all their names. Turns out, it's an awesome map. I've included it here for anyone who wants to give it a go.

Full Map: vig18

For whatever reason, vig18 was the most popular seed from those that were posted during the first week. So with that in mind, I decided to add the map here for those of you who are trying (or considering trying) out this map. No coords; I've been playing online with friends a lot so I was a little rushed yesterday.

Full Map: floppytensioncrash

Here is the full map for the seed "floppytensioncrash" that I reviewed during my first week. I really like this map. It has A LOT of really cool places (see the laundry list below). Not so much on the monster spawns (I found zero), but there were some really deep caves that I got lost in, some of which had multiple waterfalls and lava and stuff. It was really worth it to go through and see where everything was. I think I'm going to play a game in this level because I found a cool little spot that made me think of "home".

Full Map: mistisland

So, the entire time I was previewing this map, I was swimming from one corner to the other and there was literally nothing except me swimming for like ten minutes. And I was like, "there must be more". It was totally irking me so I did a full map for this level (even though it didn't rank very high) and I'm glad I did because it's really cool. I did not, however, go to the trouble of writing everything down for this one, so you'll have to discover all the tidbits on your own.

Full Map: queenbee

Here is the full map for the seed "queenbee" that I reviewed earlier in the week. As you can see, it's a frozen wasteland with a tiny patch of normal tree biome. The good news is that the majority of the water is frozen so getting around isn't all that bad.

My Review

This is it, last one of the day. As it turns out, it was also the highest rated seed of the day as well. This is a great board. There are amazing landmark formations that make navigating easy and provide great visuals. The photo doesn't show it, but there actually is a lot of wood on this level. It is very difficult to get to where you have to go because you're constantly climbing; this level is not for beginners. There is a lot of coal to be found by just walking around, though some of it is high up in the sides of mountains.

When entering this seed name, note that the "s" in "$h!thead" is a dollar sign and the "i" is an exclamation point. Who knows what you'll get with just a plain old "shithead".

Can't Miss

So this is new. I've decided that there are certain places and things that I have to highlight so you have a chance to decide if you want to be a douche and miss them or give them a shot. This board has one of those can't miss moments. It's a lava fall side-by-side with a waterfall. It took everything I had to get there because I was under attack the whole way by every baddie the game has to offer. But it was worth it. You have to make it to -256.63.-269 before nightfall, but you need to stay for the show after the sun goes down. It's nice -- and DANGEROUS!!!
