My Review

Well, this seed is smokin' hot -- in more ways than one. First, I spawned next to a hole in the ground into which water was pouring. When I dropped down to investigate, I got the above photograph. So that was my start to this level. It got better. Tons of lava, lots of Y=12 action, and an extremely impressive stronghold combine to make this by far one of the best levels I've seen.

The stronghold is attached to a system of abandoned mineshafts. Together, it could easily take four to five hours to explore everything and map it all out. In addition, they're all attached to a ravine that by itself would have been a handful. All told, this is a fantastic level with some really sweet goodies.



The Nether

While I was here, I took a look at the nether. It's pretty good. I actually spawned on the very bottom bedrock and had to claw my way back up to the main area. But once I was there, the vast majority of the nether is open and easy to navigate.

Below in the photography section I have added two nether photos.
