Minecraft Survival Challenge Ideas

[ub3rman123]

The Skyblock challenge is a fun one.

Survival island got boring once you started digging and had a few trees... This one keeps you on edge for atleast a few good hours (sometimes literally). The down side is that you want to start over any time some dirt or other limited resource goes over the edge.

 

 

wow, now that does look fun :D

Word to the wise, make backups and ensure your crouch key is accessible. Also, with 1.8, keep an eye on your hunger bar and treat everything other than cobblestone (and sometimes even cobblestone) as crucial.

 

So there is no land other than that square of dirt? What happens if you fall down to the surface?

 

There isn't any surface below, from the videos. You die.

 

I'm totally going to build a huge castle using that world. (It's possible! Just takes patience.)

1.8 seed "Nightfall", found it on a minecraft forum topic.

It's an island with only 2 trees and no land nearby.

Its like survival island only... Vanilla? Haha.

In all my time no animals have spawned, only enemies so food is scarce.

Try it out :)

Threw up a survival challenge map if anyone wants something to keep them busy until Minecon/Skyrim

1.8 - 1.9PR4 AI seems a bit smarter... they don't seem to fall as often I've noticed. Quite handy sometimes.

Even better if you get both pigs together. BREED THEM! = paving way to infinite pork!

 

 

I suspect you better be quick about getting to them.

 

Seems like an interesting challenge. Been playing at it for a few hours now.

Childs play ;)

Survival Island and Skyblock were a walk in the park. This is more like a walk in an overgrown park. Easy but challenging in some parts.

You have to be very careful where you place blocks and judge which island you want to branch to. One wrong move and its all over.

 

Here's a helpful hint:

That is all :3

That was part of the aim. Something like Skyblock, but with more places for things to take a sudden turn for the worse. Some of them early on where you can build yourself into a pickle by not paying attention to what materials you have to work with, others later on when you remember that you need certain resources which might have been used up or destroyed earlier.

 

Building the nether portal with only 1 bucket of lava takes a bit of doing, same with some of the farming and dye stuff. Nothing more frustrating than spending 4-5 hours on the map to accidentally nix your lava or having used up tool durability before doing everything you needed to.

 

Supposedly with Equivalent Exchange, you can make pretty much anything you want using the components available in the map.

All I can say is wow. :D Been playing the map for about an hour or so. Just died though. Accidentally rubbed on the cactus and it killed me, so I lost everything. Restarting the map now :D

 

And by the way, I didn't find any iron and only one diamond....how are you supposed to build a portal to nether then?

actually, i am quite interested about this too i have a few ideas, but most would fail to work. Think you can explain Vagrant0 ?
