This island is what happens when you take Minecraft out for a night of hard liquor and even harder women and then switch it on the next morning. If that analogy isn’t appropriate for you, it is what happens when Elmo and Megatron have a fight. This small block of WTF is nestled cosily in the void, and it is your job, as a player of the game of minecraft, to attempt some form of survival upon it. No animals will spawn naturally at first (unless you count the three little pigs clinging to outcroppings above an endless fall,) who are highly likely to turn themselves into cooked pork chops if they get loose. Arable land is at a premium, meaning there is almost none of it. Good luck growing crops when the flame from the netherblock keeps turning them into crispy wheat flakes before you get a chance to harvest them.

This simple minecraft survival island / sky block map is the sort of thing that survival dreams are made of. Can you sort out the chaos that is the random smattering of blocks into something useful? Or will you slip and fall into the void, never to spawn correctly again? Although this sort of map has definitely been done before, the randomized terrain adds a new level of challenge that most players will find quite enjoyable. I liked the fact that the mandatory ‘single tree’ wasn’t one of the usual oak tree sticking out like a sore thumb. This is a sky survival map for a new generation, a generation of players using the minecraft 1.4 update.

Survive! On an island! The island is a skull! That’s basically the gist of this map, which is a survival island style map mainly made awesome by the fact that it also happens to be a finely crafted representation of the human skull, complete with flaming sinus cavities.

Aren’t you the unlucky one. Not only did your plane crash, leaving you the sole survivor, but it crashed onto an island populated heavily by zombies. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

The benefit of having crash landed in a split plane is that debris and wreckage are everywhere, including people’s luggage. It seems that somebody defied the ‘no fuel sources in baggage’ rule, because I found coal in the very first bag I opened. And wood. From this we can suppose that the occupant was travelling to some kind of combustion conference.

Are you ready for a new, ultra challenging minecraft survival map? I hope so because 2×2 Square Survival is a Minecraft survival island with a twist – the twist being the almost complete lack of soil in which to grow crops, spawn animals and you know, survive.

In addition to the basic survival challenges there are also hidden areas to investigate and plenty of challenges to complete, over fifty unique challenges in fact! It is compatible with various minecraft snapshots and with the base game, so you can get as deep into minecraft challenge mode as you like, or simply build a little boat and spend your days floating around your tiny island, escaping predators through the art of paddling or sail or magnets or whatever force is supposed to be propelling a minecraft boat.

From the maker of Kurow Island and Eldaria Island comes yet another minecraft survival island map -Tropica Islands, a minecraft survival island experience with a tropical feel.

Don’t think that this is just another sand and palm trees experience however, there is an impressive range of terrain to be discovered and explored as you become the Magellan of this map.

Is it large? It is very large, in fact calling it a ‘minecraft survival island map’ is to do it a bit of a disservice. This is more a minecraft survival archipelago. If you play it on survival or hard mode you’ll have many days of exploration ahead of you as you try to discover everything this map holds.

Tropica Islands comes in three versions, creative, survival and hard mode, where you’ll be forced to delete the map if you die even once. This map is therefore perfect for all kinds of minecraft players.
