====Ocean survival====
Hello Everyone! My name is Kinglau3 and I've made a new suvival map.
It's called Ocean survival and it lets you experience a whole new aspect of survival maps.

The basic idea is that you must survive while completing challenges.
This may not seem hard, but you're stuck on an island in an enormous ocean!
To start off, some basic survival materials are given to you.
You need them to complete the challenges I've made for you!
Please tell me if the challenges are too hard or too easy!
And give me some feedback!

Do not try to get to the mainland.

Does that mean that we meet TNT at the mainland and get killed?
So what is in the Chest?

Nope, it means that you're a cheater!

I'll add contents of the chest, thanks for the suggestion!

The video is broken but I've never heard of that map.
I can ensure you that it isn't a ripoff.
Could you send me the link to the forum topic please?

No Offense, but this was done millions of times.

Just remove "Something really new" from you post and it should be fine

Really? I couldn't find anything like it. Just skyblock and survival island imitations..

[Aelakyl]

Ok.. this could sound really mean and hard. Not meant like that

And what is the difference from your map to these?

It is the environment that makes the difference.

Oh there are WALLS of Water. Pretty hard to see

Hm. Does this change the Gameplay that dramatically? But an interseting Idea.

I think that you'll have to rethink the way you are going to survive this.
But I'm glad to hear that you find the idea 'interesting'
