** Update 01-18-12 **  I am no longer updating Survival Island. There are however, a bunch of good mapmakers who are continuing the Survival Island Genre on their own so give them a try!

Thanks and Happy Mining!!

Ok, Is there anything worthwhile here? Like a secret cave or something? otherwise this seems preety stupid and you can just use the sand as a shelter

Give it a try, you might be surprised. = )

I hope there's a secret monster spawner somewhere, this island barely looks big enough to spawn mobs.

Starting, I had just downloaded the original island when I noticed the lack of reeds. Since you have reeds, you, sir, have officially got your first participant. I will post tomorrow of my adventures of tonight.

A zombie spawned next to my house in the first night D:

[Anisthesia]

Woo, I love these! I'll post my progress tomorrow.

Spoiler:

Btw, there's more than one "treasure" under the X. Wink, wink.

[RaineyOfTri]

i like the idea of this :3 i will definitely give it a try (especially since it looks for performance friendly ^^)

[Crismajor]

i assume he used a program like mcEDIT (iff so props brah, that sucker is hard to use)



any way day three and here is my survival house

its not pretty but it works (especially since i have found no hositle mobs and i set it to hard.)
i have a small farm plot and a lone plane i named bob :3 isn't bob cute?

now the rest of the island


as you can see i replanted some trees, (which haven't grown and is been three days already >.<)
and i pulled all the lights out from the small mine i made to get to the coal and put cacti there for good measure

[Mythdragon33]

I like the look of this. Downloading it now. Hope to have some pics up in a few hours... =D

[Mythdragon33]

Yeah... Don't attempt this on Hard, with the full pack for Mo' Creatures installed. Ogres suck.

[Terrifico]

Looks fun! I'll enjoy this  

2nd day completed, brick, glass and dirt house 2 block high cobblestone wall up to prevent angry beasts from blowing a hole in my creation. Main base has been setup underground. I just need those saplings to grow... I have 4 sticks and one block of wood. :|

Also, never have I been so glad to see dirt pockets underground.


my house so far

[austin320]

First day completed...replanted trees cacti and reeds. very good game.

[KruSuPhy]

So... collecting resources from the ocean doesn't count as cheating, right?

EDIT:

Toughed it out on the outside... unfortunately, had to run from a couple skeletons for a while until the morning came... they got me once or twice. Got a couple saplings to grow, also found some coal.

Night 1: A zombie.
Night 2: 2 zombies.
Night 3: A skeleton.
Night 4: A spider riding skeleton, and two additional spiders.
Night 5: 3 wolves. (I'm using Mo' Creatures modpack)



^ My spider rider encounter.



^ A picture of my sandcastle.

[Kryptos09]

Im gonna give it a shot!

[spak07]

love this idea thanks for setting it up

Lucky you, you just got Spider Jockey, never seen that before myself ingame! D:

Someone could "extend" the island to land, maybe from wood since it replenishes. Would that be cheating? It would still be an island. Take this challenge. Escape without swimming/without a boat, build your way to the land!
