This island seed makes for a challenging Minecraft survival experience. The islands on these seeds are small and quite far apart.

With only a few trees on each island, it will take longer to get resources than it usually would, but that's what a challenge is all about. Players need not worry, though. A typical land is not too far away if they need some extra help.

Who doesn't love spawning right next to a very rare biome?

In this Minecraft seed, players will spawn on a small island that is only a few blocks away from a large mushroom island. While the mushroom island does not give great resources, such as wood, it is pretty cool to spawn right near. On the bright side, players will spawn on a much smaller island with a few trees, so this seed can still be used as a survival island.

A large savanna biome island can be found nearby, with a plentiful village right in the middle.
