THE ISLAND SURVIVAL TEST

Do you think you can survive on a HOSTILE island with a MASSIVE cave system and MONSTERS lurking around EVERY turn?

Well if you want to find out look no further! This simple map will show you if you could survive a deserted island with no meathod of escape!

Here are the rules for the map:

1. Don't leave the island! If you leave the island, how can we asses your skills?

2.Have fun! Remember this is a Minecraft map. Minecraft is fun so have fun!

Realistic Mode Rules!
For people who think that my challenge is to easy try THE REALISTIC MODE!
Realistic mode will add a challenge by making you face the problems of real life!

1. Follow the affromentioned rules!

2. If you die its all over!

3. Since you were in a horrible water-based accident you are now hydrophobic and cannot swim in water above you head!

4.You need to drink a glass bottle of water every 3 minecraft days
4.5 Since you cannot drink saltwater, you need to put the water ito a culdron to purify first

~Info~

~There are six chests to find with items imperitive to your survival. They are however, high risk-high reward situations (well, execpt 2 and 6 )

~For chest 3 DO NOT MAKE A BRIDGE ACROSS THE LAVA! THERE IS A BUTTON!

~There is stuff under the X with my personal favorite being down about 50-60 blocks

~There are some optional challenges ingame and here.

Challenges-

1. Build a base with 4 rooms.
2. Make an offshore farm that is at least 10x10
3. Create a underwater dome (unacheivable on realistic mode)
4. Explore the entire cave complex (Its larger than you think!)
5. Get an A+! (Survive for 100 days. 50 on realistic)
6. Retrieve all the items from the chests.
7. Survive in the mob areana for 1 minute.
8. Drain an entire lava lake.
9. Expand the island. (With whatever material you want!)
10. Post your final progress here!

You could make an underwater dome on realistic. It would just be very, very hard.

Ok. So I even started my map and it is very hard espescially since I am running out of food and I wont go into the areana to get the watermelonseeds (?)

[firewall245]

I ended up dying going into the mob areana......

[PokemonSensei]

Me and my friend love it, we're doing fine.
Where can I find the arena?

Its in the large cave system left of the challenge with the mushroom base. You cant miss it. Its the thing with the endermen, spider, skeleton, and pig zombie spawners

[firewall245]

This Map has an average score of 3.16! Thats passing but I hope to get it higher

[BatteryHorse]

Let me just say that this map is amazing. Good job on all this, but I can't seem to find chest 3. I know it's in the cavern, but where in the cavern?
