I have not been able to locate any really good survival island seeds to play on our current title update. So I decided to use the old school maps. Thanks to Choras_Den I can share the secret.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you type the words exactly (using upper or lower cases as written) or use the seed numbers written in parenthesis
mjolnir (1094180765). I recommend starting on a small map with a bonus chest, you will spawn on a tiny central island with 1 or 2 trees. In the south there is another small island & if you dig down from there you will find a mineshaft.
resourceful (1234544303). Again, I highly recommend starting on a small map with the bonus chest... you will spawn in deep water, so be prepared to start swimming and if you are able to locate the chest underwater, it will make a difference.
Sprite (-1811812635). This seed works best on a classic sized map and has spectacular caves throughout. There is an underwater mineshaft, this map also has a stronghold and an intact end portal.
The Godfather (834266025). Tiny islands in classic. If you use a small sized map, there is a strip of desert and a watery desert temple in the NW corner as well as a mineshaft in the NE corner.
You need to open the entire map/s before going back online to get the latest update for the game. Or just enjoy the old maps for a while.
Not having much luck with getting animals to spawn, even on my enlarged plains island. I did find the trick about shaving the mooshroom cows & breading them with wheat very handy.... also, the trick of pouring lava over water to make walkways.
resourceful has a small area in the bottom left that if built up, becomes a plains biome. If you dig down (carefully) at x-224 y33 z337 you will find a spider spawner. Great for making wool for a bed as well as a fishing rod & bows.
The Godfather seed has the least amount of Mooshroom islands (only 2 on a small map). In addition, the cave system is huge & the loot in the mineshafts, not to mention the desert temple is the best of all the maps. Still trying to spawn animals, there is one island in the south that I have my hopes on....
Sprite has 2 types of wood as well, oak & spruce. It is the only map listed here that I have been able to get animals to spawn on. I made a small sized map instead of classic & in the top right there are animals.
After a month, I find myself playing on the Godfather seed. I have created a small island to build my house on with adjoining gardens & a dock. I sheared a couple mooshrooms & have been breeding them for beef & leather to make books. It was a challenge getting them from their island across the entire map to the farm area next to my house (lava poured over water to make stone a walkway).
I recently switched over to play on the sprite seed.
First off, I moved from my start up on a central island to set up a tree house base on the little northern island with animals that spawn. I've got to say that after a couple of months playing on these maps, it is a bit strange to have animals popping up again.
Now I am busy mining and getting ready to build a library to set up the enchantment table. I have been extremely lucky with fishing (during rain & thunderstorms give the best loot) & have reeled in a few nice enchanted items.
I have a new seed to try for really hard core survival island adventuring. This will work on the LARGE maps of the Xbox One as well as PS4 and it is 95% WATER!
NOTE: You will need to follow the directions from my original post as it WILL NOT WORK on the current Title Update (TU38).

mjolnir (1094180765) has a great fortress.... at least 9 chests (2 w/ diamonds) & double blaze spawner.

The Godfather also has 2 types of trees, oak & birch. Only got birch after I upgraded the game to the current version.

ENJOY!
Found another seed that will work with this trick. Only one tree on the map!
