My Review

This is an interesting lush forest level. I say forest level because it's thick with trees and, frankly, difficult to walk around in. If you ever wanted to build a mansion entirely out of wood, this may be your chance to do it. Sugar, clay, and black sheep can all be found in abundance.

Items of Interest

  • [-45.65.-64] sugar
  • [-46.64.199] sugar and zombie sounds
  • [-11.65.220] clay deposit
  • [85.65.169] clay deposit

The forest comes right up to the edge of the water. These trees are pretty thick, but don't have any day-creepers or anything like that.

My Review

I am quite proud that I was the one who thought this seed name up. After searching the Internet, I feel confident that I can say that no one else has posted this seed. It's a great seed, with high mountains, steep waterfalls, lava pits, a desert, you name it. Many of the visible resources I found were high-up in the cliffs of these mountains, so that brought the score down a little. Other than that, this "gym" is a gem.

Items of Interest

  • [281.69.334] waterfall
  • [280.70.357] a lava pit that set the nearby trees on fire; nearby is also an overhang so massive it shields the creepers inside from the sun and conceals a black waterfall.

Images

The waterfall at 281.69.334 emerges from the side of a sheer cliff. At right, one of two craters that are imbedded between extremely high mountains. These both had deposits visible upon inspection.

My Review

The seed "fifa" is nice... it is... but it's nothing like the hype I've been reading on-line. It has the iconic floating spaceship rock that is really cool, but the rest of the board lacks the same gravitas that you would think pours out of every rock the way these guys go on and on about it. I will admit that when I first started the board, my spawn was at the base of the falls, so before I even got to do anything, water started rushing by me -- which was a cool effect. I found a lot of black sheep, several lava pits, and swam up the massive waterfall. All good fun.

Items of Interest

  • [-46.68.64] I love falling sand, so when I dug here and it all fell away, I giggled
  • [30.69.-127] a hidi-hole
  • [63.66.-164] a nice sized lava pit
  • [130.81.-376] spire
  • [-11.60.-335] zombie sounds
  • [-109.73.-320] several overhangs

Image Coordinates

This iconic overhang is easily recognizable to anyone who has played this board before. At right, this is the waterfall I swam up. That's right. Swam up!

My Review

I had a great spawn point on this one that had a hidi-hole filled with iron. Go figure! You're going to find lots of sheep -- including a few black sheep -- and lots of gravel. This is a great board for beginners with some really cool rock formations and a land bridge that is part sand and part rock.

Items of Interest

  • [0.78.91] there's an interesting path through a mountain that you can see through from one end to the other which makes it like a natural doorway
  • [398.66.-348] I didn't have time to investigate, but there's a gravel pit here with zombie noises coming from underneath. Look into that for me.
  • [-91.69.0] a valley that runs between two cliffs in the southwest of the map. Very scenic.
  • [324.68.-215] a shortcut cave

Image Coordinates

The top image is of a land bridge that's part sand and part mud. Really cool. You can find that at 217.85.-183. The image at right is the mouth of a cave that I didn't feel like climbing up to because it's wedged between two steep cliffs.

My Review

This is actually an odd level to score highly, but it's all because of the spawn. This is a perfect beginner's spawn in a prime location local to resources, building materials, and several caves. There are also many black sheep and squid.

Items of Interest

There is a deep cave at 289.71.148 and a huge cache of resources (coal, iron) at 257.69.400.

The above view is a great landmark stone spire that juts up out of nowhere as you're walking through the woods.
