This survival challenge is kind of like a mix of the infamous 404 challenge, and the oh-so popular "SkyBlock Survival" custom map. You have three days to gather all the supplies you'd need to survive on Minecraft normally, but as the sun sets on the third day, you must build a pillar up to the top of the world, and live there, never to return to the surface.
The Rules Are as Follows:
1. You must play on either Normal or Hard difficulty.
2. You may not use a world seed for this challenge. The "seed" box must be left empty.
3. You have three days and ONLY three days to gather the supplies you will need. If you feel that you are ready before the three days are up, you can go ahead and construct your pillar. The pillar has to be y: 100, no more and no less.
4. You may venture into caves while on the ground, but any minerals you find MAY NOT be used to craft Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, Hoes, or Swords. Using Iron for buckets is recommended, because you'll definitely need a cobblestone generator and a farm of some sort.
5. Once you are up on top of your pillar, you can (and will) build outwards, upwards, and downwards, but you may not go below y: 90, and you MAY NOT RETURN TO THE GROUND. (Remember, mountains count as ground. If a mountain is above y: 90, you may not build/walk on it.
6. In the event that you die before constructing a bed and setting a spawn point, you MAY NOT GATHER RESOURCES WHILE ON THE GROUND. You might want to consider building a way to get back to the top of your pillar.
7. You must complete the Mandatory Challenges, but you have no time limit to do so. The Optional Challenges are only to increase your score.
Mandatory Challenges
1) Build a Cobble Stone generator. 2) Build a house. 3) Expand the pillar. 4) Make a tree farm. 5) Make a sugar cane farm. 6) Make a wheat farm. 7) Build a bed. 8) Make at least 20 torches. 9) Make an infinite water source. 10) Build a furnace. 11) Make a small lake. 12) Make a mob trap.
it sounds like most of the challenge is what you do/find during the 3 day prep period.
You'll need 3 buckets to get 2 water and 1 lava
a stack of sand to get up that high
a stack of dirt for the farming
some wood and saplings
some wheat seeds
some sugarcane
the hard parts are finding the iron, lava and sugarcane in time, depending on the world you're dealt.
I've never messed with Mob traps. as I usually build to keep mobs out. Seems like that's something to build at Level 90, below the settlement, out of the way, and in the dark.
Only issue with that second list would be the nether portal and acquisition of gold since you cant make anything above a stone pick. Maybe if you find some gold in a chest supposing you hit a stronghold/mineshaft, but other wise no. Rest of it looks doable ass long as plan out everything you need before hand, and maybe get lucky in finding the melon seeds.

Im doing the challenge in those videos with TheLMNOSteve
Are there any separate rules to doing this with a friend?
You should definitely add some more challenges too. I feel like I'd be finishing this too quickly.
