My Review

Another dirty archipelago, this seed had a really high score that made it the second best of the day. There's an island for everyone: flat for a village, pure desert, cliff-sided, covered in trees... you name it. There is lots and lots of deep water (I didn't even know Minecraft allowed such water), so getting around is not easy at all. Even when you're out of the water there's almost always a tree in the way. I didn't actually find any lava "on top" of anything, so I guess this name is a bit of false advertising, but this level is definitely worth playing for advanced users. Oh, and if you like clay, then you should be here regardless of skill level.

Images

The image at the top is a massive spire that was playing host to two cows, a pig, and a chicken (not pictured). How they got up there is a mystery, but they sure as hell had no problem getting down. At right, this is a sandy overhang stretching out over the water.
