I'm looking to compile a list of all the [notable] survival challenges that exist, as an aid to those bored of regular Minecraft gameplay. At the moment, there are only two I know of, so I need your help in finding more. Links and videos explaining/demonstrating the challenge will help greatly. I will continue to update the list as I get more challenges.
Added the 404 challenge. I've heard of it but forgot all about it until bolongy's post. Thanks.
I looked up the Tree of Life, and it seems to be a custom map. I'm not looking for custom maps (so-called "adventure" maps), but rather challenges that can be done on naturally spawned maps. I apologize if my google-fu failed me and it turns out there's actually a non-custom map challenge called the Tree of Life.
It wasn't my intention to compile every single cock-a-maney challenge some random person on the forum has dreamed up. To make that clear, I edited my original post to specify "notable" challenges - that is, challenges that are unique, creative and have garnered a lot of attention in the Minecraft community.
I have added the Tree Spirit challenge, thanks bpx and shard for mentioning it. I've left off "Go West My Son" because, while cool, it doesn't sound particularly unique or creative compared to the other challenges on the list.
what i started doing to "spice up" my minecraft life was to just keep adventuring and never stop. fight mobs at night, dont make shelters, dont sleep in beds, explore caves, look for dungeons, things like that there are so many possibilitys thats why minecraft kicks ass

What is the 404 challenge?

There are a LOT of challenges. You'll never get them all in a list.
See my About Me section for info about me.

So you ought to add that.
I doubt you'll get all the challenges this forum has had. There's a lot, and you only have 3 so far.
