So, as title says, I am looking for an island seed, but the one I seek is somewhat special.
- larger than the usual island seeds on this forum, like this one (why this does not suit me? It has mainland nearby!)
- in middle of an OCEAN BIOME, thousands of blocks away from any mainland
- you should spawn on it, as I plan to use it for my survival mode server
- have at least 1 tree and some tall grasses
- the seed must work in Minecraft 1.0.0
However, the special part comes here. The island itself MUST NOT BE an ocean biome island. I know it sounds impossible, but in Minecraft 1.8.1 I had found a mountain biome island in middle of an ocean, which allowed animal spawning (unlike ocean biome normally), and I could not find any land within 6000 blocks. Sadly, I lost the seed and the save, and I only possess ONE picture of the said seed.
I know the picture is very bad, and taken during night (I wanted to see my lighthouse and how it looks in the dark), but that mountain biome island in an ocean biome is what I desire the most thus I ask for your help!
use world edit to make one, if not i could make one and send it to you? I could make it have the island as the whole map, just water for miles.
Sadly I'd love a naturally generated one, like the island on my lost save. It's supposed to be a survival server, so I can't have edited/artificially created world. Thanks for suggestion though, I feel this will be an annoying search :smile.gif:
Heh, right after I create this topic, I found an interesting seed similar to the first picture I posted (thanks KaosRitual)...

You spawn on a similar Plains island, with an NPC village and ONE tree on it, and has around 600 blocks of sea around it. Sounds good to me, but still I'd love bit more distance, or perhaps a mountain island...
Try "Boot LEG!" without the quotes. It will spawn you on a large forested island with various animals. It also has a few ravines underneath the island, some stretching down to bedrock level, as well as an abandoned mineshaft.
It is an awesome seed in my opinion and I hope to eventually use it as a future survival seed. Enjoy it!
Hey! I saw your looking for an oceanic biome with a large island type thing right? I posted a video on my youtube channel in which I do a seed review that MAY be what your looking for. You may have to search for it a bit but i fly over an island to your description near the end of the video. And if you want to use it for your Survival server then move the spawn point. Its a command if you have bukkit, and if you don't have bukkit then I'd suggest getting it. Especially if you plan on having more then 3 or 4 people on. I'll link the video below.
It is a big forest island surronded by ocean biomes. You may find the mainland a little too close, though.
I think i have one or two big islands on my save library. I'll check.
Bit close to mainland yeah, I'm an ocean lover :/
Maybe I'm being too picky, and maybe the type I seek does not exist any longer.
I just tried the seed "147" and according to the map viewer, it's full ocean for 9000 blocks with some mushroom biome islands... Shame that biome does not have any grass or mob spawning, not very ideal to spawn on. Isn't there ANY full ocean spawns with large non-ocean biome islands?? I mean if the mushrooms islands seem to generate within the large ocean, why can't other biomes do that too?
Sorry dude, the two other seeds i have, have peninsula nearby (that can be seen from the island)
Not better I guess.
You might be a little picky (I understand though) the problem you are facing is, to my humble opinion:
-In a large ocean biome, there are islands, but smallish
-You may find larger islands, but in mixed biomes region, meaning there is another non-oceanic biome nearby...

Thanks, but that island is bit too close to the mainland, so it's not really a large ocean biome I seek :sad.gif:
@Gcheilan
Thank you for the tip, I'll check it out asap!
EDIT: Now that I remember, I was stupid enough to not include the game version I need the seed for...
...Sorry Gcheilan, it needs to be for Minecraft 1.0.0, unlike in that video!

The solution may be the fishtaco's biommodificator mod.
Playing with the settings you will probably find what you want. The only problem is, it's only beta 1.8 for the moment... Wait for the update?
Good luck though, i'll follow this thread.
