Etymology

In ballet, there are three categories of performer -- the principal, the soloist, and the corps. The corps consists of all the dancers who are not members of the first two categories.

Notes

What a cool seed. There are a lot of quirky rock formations -- some with waterfalls pouring out of them -- as well as some lava-floor ravines. Take care when approaching the ender portal; the floor outside the room has fallen away to reveal a small pitfall.

Etymology

Bananas covered in ice cream and rum and Bacardi 151 then set ablaze. It tastes like candy dipped in jet fuel, but the light show makes it worth it.

Notes

On any other day, this seed would easily top the charts. It's just dumb luck it got trumped. It took a long time to search through the mountains on this level looking for things to photograph. Then it took an even longer time cutting down the number of photographs I wanted to show you to a reasonable number. Scenic doesn't even begin to describe it.

Can't Miss

I found a crazy, thin spire that stretches way into the sky. It shall henceforth be known as "The Wand" and just next to it is a nice little floater. You should totally check out this pair if you happen to be in town.

Can't Miss #2

The northeast corner has an elevated island ringed by cliffs. It's not particularly big, but it's imposing and really a cool place to set up a fort.

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.
