All the seeds below spawn you on an island with various biome types that have one thing in common: very few resources, and lots of ways to die. Think you have what it takes to tackle a survival island seed? Important note : these seeds were all tested in Minecraft's Windows 10 edition which is very similar to the Pocket Edition. In other versions you will get totally different biomes or the seed may not load at all.
This one will test your skills, with only sparse elements available and very little opportunity to build anything substantial before night falls and the monsters come out. If you scan the horizon, you can see more equally sparse islands at the edge of your vision for those who fancy a nice long swim. A beauty to behold, this seed starts you on a small island that goes vertical rather than horizontal. There's a killer view from the top, but you shouldn't just go up - be sure to head around the side and find the cave to delve into that goes even further down!
A little more survivable, this one has a lot more to offer and some underground areas to explore. There's also an interesting difference on display here between the various version of Minecraft: in Windows 10 edition, this one spawns on a small island covered in tall trees next to a larger island covered in flowers with a few animals. In other editions, this is a tiny, dead island that's nearly impossible to play.
Haven't grabbed the new Minecraft beta edition yet? For those on the cutting edge, the Windows 10 version will also soon be adapted so you can experience Minecraft in a whole new way, with Oculus Rift support coming early next year. Popping you straight in a populated village with plenty of people and animals to interact with, this nifty little seed features two very different types of terrain right next to one another — one with high desert mesas to climb and one with rolling fields and majestic forests.
Get tired of endless desert red? Just jump over to the other side for a field of green. From buildings to rivers to wide open spaces, this one is a ready made fantasy world waiting to be explored. Spawning next to a giant treehouse, this hilariously titled but no-nonsense seed lets you see the world of Minecraft from high in the boughs of a great forest. One half winter wonderland, one half sprawling forest, this innovative and visually appealing seed has opposing worlds colliding with two biomes lined up next to one another.
With taiga meeting the forest, this dual style seed is populated by towering monoliths on both sides just begging to be mined to see if you can reach the very tops of the tallest spires. While it may not have Kevin Costner or Dennis Hopper, this aquatic style seed will let you walk the plank and explore a vast underwater world before drowning. If you're up for a serious swim or you have some mad crafting skills , you just might find a way off the forlorn island and make it across to the larger, more abundantly populated area that's tantalizingly close but separated by a gulf of deep blue sea.
The side of the major landscape feature feels like a Final Fantasy Tactics battle waiting to happen, while the miles of mine shafts lacing like Swiss cheese are your very own personal Ultima Underworld to explore, blocky style. Fancy a long walk? Named after the classic Playstation platforming franchise, this seed is filled to the brim with sprawling hills that Just. Chase sheep that seem to always have better footing than you up and down an infinite expanse of never ending steps.
