I must admit when I first saw this on youtube I thought it was pretty stupid. But then I watched a few more episodes and decided to give it a try. Played for about an hour. Almost completely relocated the island+grass to a new spot with cobble underneath to keep the dirt safe if I want to relocate it. (had yet to loose any) I was working on expanding my tree/soon to be mushroom farm. Yet after this picture tragedy struck and I accidently walked off the edge carrying my bucket. Can't live without a bucket. Tomorrow I shall restart ^.^



Fairly entertaining. The scarcity of dirt and lava makes the resources you don't think about twice that much more important. I did have a slightly rough start. The 3 bone meal only gave me two seeds and when I harvested the wheat it only gave me once seed per plant. Also the melon was being stingy and not growing.

I took the challenge and rocked it! :biggrin.gif:

Noobcrew is adding the Nether (and The End) in the next version - it's coming out soon so wait till then :smile.gif:

Well, for hardcore players, Noobcrew shouldn't add The End to the hardcore version, because the only way to get out of The End is to die. Which sucks for hardcore players. Unless Notch makes a way back to the Overworld (Normal Dimension) without dying. I'm excited to see the next version. :smile.gif:

I am maybe stupid, but I don´t understant.
How you make lake.
I downloaded older version this survival.
I have now iceblocks, but how I can make a lake? :dry.gif:

Sorry for the double post, I wanted to answer this.
If you have 2 ice blocks, make a 2x2 hole in the ground and put one ice block on the corner, and another one on the other corner. Break the ice blocks, walla, an infinite water supply. With the water, you can make a lake, it will never run out. So no worries. If you have any more questions, just ask. :smile.gif:

Hey, can anyone give me some advice at a better cobblestone generator. Mine is not very reliable.

>Adds challenge.
>Is easy.

Wut?? I find it to be just annoying having to put ugly roofs over everything I make, not a challenge.

Its so ****in annoying! I dont want the ****in snow and the ice is the most anoying **** ever! it just freezes all the time, U probally goin to say that is the ****ing "challenge" but it is super annoying.

It's called 'COVER IT UP' I truened my infinite water sorce into a well with a wood slab roof. Did the same for the small lake. Made it look really nice and being covered IT DON'T FREEZE BACK UP.

In stead of makeing it annoying, find away to work WITH IT, incorporate it into your builds. As is I got a nice decorative railing along the edges of my platforms just to keep my torches covered from the snow.

So quit whining about it. If you hate it THAT MUCH play in 1.8.1 where your in a forest bime rather than a tundra one!

IT'S THAT SIMPLE OMG!

Do u reslly think i play in 1.9 with skyblock? really. and torches dosent stop ice in the pre 4 so the cobble stone generator is ****ked.

Awesome map, it's quite a challenge indeed. But challenge 10 is quite strange, I hope you meant stone Blocks instead of bricks?

Actually, there is suck a thing as brick

How did this map get so popular? I remember when it was still in its fledgeling stage and I didn't download it because it looked like a really lazy attempt to make a survival map. Am I the only one to still not have downloaded it?

This map has gotten so popular by captainsparklez, and being posted on the home page of minecraft.fr, minecraftforum and reddit. I don't think you would appreciate it at all if I went to your map and said that your map looks like a really lazy attempt at survival island, that comment was somewhat disrespectful to me and believe it or not I actually did put alot of thought into SkyBlock then you could imagine, for example the amount of dirt (1.0 is harder (around 25 dirt) and 1.1 is easier (around 75 dirt) ), a small amount of items but with tons of possibilities, 1 sand to make the challenge of cactus green dye harder, and so on...

I think the snow would be better than the rain. The rain sound it's self get annoying after a few minutes. Snow has now sound.

To make everyone happy he would have to make 3 different maps. Snow / Normal / desert biome.

And I don't he is willing to do all that. You don't have to put a UGLY roof on stuff. Put some work into it. Make it look nice It takes longer but it will not be ugly.

Suggestion: For the small lake challenge. Some people I have watched on youtube is / was unsure how big a small lake is. Please give more detail on the next version. I was unsure as well so I made it large enough that I was 100% sure that it could be called a lake.

Tip: For the Cobblestone generator Build around the Block of Bedrock. WHY??? This way you can generate the cobble w/o the chance of digging a hole through the generator it's self by mistake.

My security does not allow mediafire D:, can you put the download on a diff site like you did with the older versions?

And how do I get it to work? I tried putting it in my .minecraft saves file, then creating a world, but that doesn't work. Help! :sad.gif:

Ediiiiiiit: nvm, was using the rong folder

Quote from MinecraftTrolledMe

Downloading right now.. this is awesome!

Edit: Fell off the map while building my cobblestone farm :sleep.gif:

is there a download option for it in 1.8

Ok, one more question. I can't see the pictures, so what are you're starting items? I'm using the older version, throwing away all that was in the chest, and using loleditor to get the items in the newer versions

how is that possible :mellow.gif: i came into my game and i find i find 2 of everything in it
any help?

OK I will include some screenshots on the best coblestone generator. I do believe it is 97% effective. meaning you lose very little cobble at all.




The bottom layer you need to make and L shape that is 3 block long on each leg. you can also sink it into the ground if you want. It does work well that way.


Second layer you .. ahh easier to show the image. Place the water in at the top of each leg of the L. that way the water flows don tot he one corner and will bring all cobble to you.


third Layer. you need to leave the center block open to put in the lava.


Drop in the lava


Boom we have cobble formed.


All you need to do is mine the cobble.


and there you go
