Survival gameplay is the most basic mode of Minecraft. You spawn in a random world unless you use a particular seed, and from then on, you have to mine trees, stone, minerals from caves, etc. to craft weapons and gear.
Vanilla survival gameplay in Minecraft has always been the good old way to play the game, but now, players are looking to add a lot of new elements and twists to their survival gameplay. That’s where survival maps come into place.
With the use of survival maps in Minecraft, you can change the setting to your survival adventure and end up having a whole new experience each time you play. In this article, we take a look at the five most downloaded survival maps for Minecraft.

In this map, you must survive for as long as you can and attain several goals while only making use of the few resources available on your island in the sky.
