Not another ordinary "survival island". Unlike others, this one features a skeleton mob cage as well as pretty much everything else you need to start on a new map (and also has enough room to do so, not just a tiny patch of land).

Found this last week while messing around on new maps, showing a friend the latest update and it's features. The entire map is an ocean, except for the large island you spawn on (if you don't, the co-ords are x777, z-267). There is one miniature land mass near the edge of the map somewhere (if I remember correctly), though it's too small to be inhabitable (if you're planning a pirate themed map, it'd be perfect for a hidden treasure chest).

The map features a few patches of both roses and yellow flowers, as well as half a dozen stalks of sugar cane spread over the place. It has 6 trees, enough to get started and also guarantee you won't need to cheat in some saplings. In some of the caves it also has exposed iron and coal to help get you started. There is a small cave system underneath, though I haven't explored enough so I can't comment on the amount of diamonds or other interesting finds (that would also ruin the fun in exploring!). From what I saw, there was minimal tall grass on the island - apart from the small patch near the southern end (I think). However with the skeleton cage nearby it won't be hard to bonemeal some grass back to get seeds.

The friend I showed this map to whilst I was showing him the update, went on to LAN a 5-player game where they built a huge network of tunnels and caves in the large natural cove. I could picture a lot of places on this map to build a pirate themed base around.

Seed is: -3711951296344799968 (No idea how I initially forgot to mention this, lmao)

Feel free to share this around on other sites if you really like it, just remember to add my name somewhere for credit!

Sounds interesting, but what's the seed number?  No seed, no play.  No play, no fun!

Explored a bit more, found mushrooms on what looks like the end of a land mass to the east of the main island. Also found a lava cave under the water, with an abandoned mine shaft in there too. The majority of the map is oceanic, however there are still a couple of nearby pieces of land if you decided to build alternate bases. I'll be uploading an image of the fully explored map, which will have the mine shaft on it circled in black. I'll also upload a location of the skeleton cage as well, though it's not hard to miss. I'm adding some screens of the mine shaft itself as well as other angles of the main island. Enjoy!

Nah, it happens.  It does look like a very good survival seed, it's worth looking into.  I like how the other islands you showed are in fact, more like semi-extreme hills, sure makes it interesting.

Yeah, the little bodies of water with inlets make it look like they were made to harbour pirate ships with a treasure cave in the large open cavern. The mob cage is pretty convenient too, however the island itself I noticed spawns plenty of hostile mobs at night as it is.

Discovered a second skeleton cage on the island, very close to the surface as well. Unfortunately no abandoned mine shafts!
