Question: About the optional rule not to use torches, can we use torches that are already in the map?
That optional rule is as they say optional and can be interpreted as you choose. I left it as an option because using your precious wood to make lots of torches will dwindle your supply quite a bit. If you want to stick to it and never place any torches then consider cultivating pumpkins and placing the ones you find in them for jack-o-lanterns. They give better light too :-)

Where do you get wood WE NEED WOOD ORITS TECHNICLY NOT A SURVIVAL ISLAND!I decided to use toomanyitems to change to creative and looked at all the island and there is no trees!
You spawn on an EXTREMELY small island, with absolutely NO trees, only some grass and some sugarcane. If I had to come up with a challenge, it would be impossible! Look.
Rules: Do NOT leave the island!
Challenges:
1. make a stone pick.
2.survive for 2 days.
If you can complete these WITHOUT leaving the island, the challenge is complete, but believe me, it's nearly impossible to complete. Though it IS possible to get wood (from the abandoned mineshaft you get to when you dig down far enough), it can be REALLY time consuming to mine through all that stone with your bare hands.
I have never really been one for going against the natural seed generation of Minecraft, but I am in I will probably stream it live through Twitch.tv so PM for more details.
I am so glade that everyone is enjoying the seed I found 8-D
So far I know of only one guy who has been able to making it past the initial phase (Find Wood) with out dieing. If you want to watch check out the second video on the intial post :-)
Kinda sad I had to kill that Enderman, but hey I have a challenge to complete here. I finally found my first dungeon and managed to complete it, but had a close call while doing so...
Nasty little cave spiders managed to have a nest near by!
Still sticking with the no torch rule, and only using ones I find in the map. This is what I have so far...
Have found 7 torches so far - 1 used in the environment, 1 used in a jack 'o' lantern, 2 for my farm, and 3 to explore with. Here are my other items...
Help, I've done something really stupid. I swam up a waterfall and out into the ocean and I'm lost. Can you post the co-ords for the spawn island please ?
There are quite alot of those ;-)
As long as your under three blocks of water you ok, but if your on the ocean surface I would have to say, Game Over ...
However I will put the Spawn Coords into the original post. But here they are just for you: x145 z-275
Cheers OneWolfe, I realise I can't 'win' from here, but I'm enjoying this seed so much!
Your journey to find the strongholds will take you out of the main cave system. How you go about doing that is certainly up to you, as long as you stay below the surface. If you keep an eye on your Y coordinate and keep it below 60 you will be perfectly fine ;-)
