My Review

Well, that photo up there says it all. Cold. Very cold. Icy and vast. No wood, no deep water, and no hills. In fact, all the water is frozen -- which is actually convenient because all the land is spread out all over hell so huge frozen ice is a good way to get around. It's a hell of a thing to see -- a vast frozen ocean -- even if you don't stay for the ride. And by ride, I mean caves -- which are basically holes in the ground that literally are only one or two cubes wide through which you can plummet to your death. I spawned in the north and then moved southwest. Nothing improved. Very cold.

Items of Interest

  • [-72.71.-220] this was a really interesting stone complex that almost looks like ruins. Worth checking out. There is also a deep cave here, so be careful where you step.
  • [68.80.183] a nice sized hidi hole
  • [20.66.208] a coal cave
  • [9.69.215] a deep ice hole

These three intrepid little bastards were the only source of color in the whole seed. They were right next to the spawn heading southeast. They marked the end of dry land and the start of dry water. At right, a vast plummeting cave I found on one of the islands at 9.69.215.

My Review

This seed has a really nice balance of hills and trees. It's slightly difficult to get around because of the terrain, but is still good for beginners. This level has some very interesting visuals, including multiple waterfalls and land bridges. It also has coal near the surface and some clay. For those who are interested in underwater exploration, this has one of the deepest lakes I've found so far. Lots of fun.

Items of Interest

  • [-327.68.200] deep zombie cave
  • [-262.71.-24] this is actually two caves with one mouth
  • [-315.70.-210] this is an amazingly deep ocean well to the north of the spawn point.
  • [-329.65.-216] a large clay deposit

The image at the top is a four corners shot of a scared hill and a distant land bridge. In the image at right, an interesting sand formation near a zombie cave at -327.68.200.
