Sahara is a full featured minecraft desert survival map, complete with custom built oasis, mountains and underground caves fraught with danger. This minecraft survival map has been so popular that download links have been expiring faster than Usain Bolt (although that problem now appears to have been fixed.) Why has it been so hard to download this minecraft desert survival map? Because this is one of the largest of its kind, at a meaty 915 MB, that’s almost a full gig download. That’s nothing to sniff at.

This survival islands map is made from several large, heavily landscaped islands in the sky. Instead of skipping from little biome to little biome, you can explore naturally shaped islands featuring various landscapes, each with its very own specialized terrain. The map also includes custom boss fights, custom dungeons, a stronghold and many more minecraft features commonly found in naturally generated minecraft maps.

Are you ready for another iteration of the famous minecraft sky survival maps of yore? (And by yore, I of course mean, 2011.) This map involves named sheep eggs and pink and blue dyes – because what previous minecraft sky survival maps have been missing is colored sheep.

A cross between SkyBlock and Sky Island, Skyverse is somewhere in between. It has more dirt than SkyBlock, but not as many resources as Sky Island. So it is simultaneously harder, easier and more fun than either of the two maps mentioned in the first instance. In Skyverse, a small plug shaped island of land floats in the middle of the void. Although this is currently a single player survival map, there may soon be a server, which will be fun for people who like standing in small spaces with a lot of other people.

Are you ready to nostalgia hard with this Harvest Moon Minecraft Survival map? I sure hope so. I also hope you like farming, because there is a lot of it in this map. Survival farming is one of my favorite genres of minecraft survival maps, mostly because it makes a change from sitting in the middle of the sky generating cobblestone like some sort of modern Sisyphus.

It’s also a bit of an NPC trading survival map, because to get the resources you need, you’ll need to trade with the local NPCs. In many ways, this is a more realistic survival, akin to the survival mode we all play in real life every day. Let’s face it, you don’t have to mine stone to build your house every day (and even if you could, it probably wouldn’t be up to local codes and odds are that a nosy neighbor would register a complaint with the council and the HOA would complain that your grass letterbox is too untidy.) But you do have to toil most days in order to trade with other people for things that you need.

All games eventually become life simulators. Perhaps because we can’t get enough of life, because we can’t squeeze enough living out of the every day experience. Or perhaps because we all desire to be small gods. At any rate, this is a decent minecraft survival map. It also has pink trees, which I for one, approve of heartily. You can’t make a decent world without pink trees.

This minecraft survival map can be played with or without mods. Unlike many survival maps that treat mods like cheat machines, the Harvest Moon Minecraft survival map works well with several existing mods, including Farmcraftory, a minecraft mod that will add nineteen new growable fruits and vegetables to the game – making you one busy minecraft farmer.
