This is our current survival world that we started on their holiday break 2020. Before this world we had raided a few of the Woodland Mansions but this is the first time for us to use one as our base and begin the conversion progress. Hopefully some of the tips and builds we used in this world will be helpful and give you some ideas to use in your own worlds.

Choosing the World Seed

When playing a long term survival campaign on any type of world the seed you start with is pretty important. We chose this world seed for a couple of reasons-

  • Woodland Mansion is very close to the spawn point.
  • Multiple villages nearby including an Abandoned Zombie Village.
  • Multiple Biomes nearby. There are the usual rivers, plains, desert, dark oak and birch forest surrounding the Mansion. Close by are Savannah, Swamp, and Ocean biomes. A little farther out there is also the Mesa Badlands and a Jungle biome.
  • Broken Nether Portal right by the mansion for faster access to the Nether.

No matter how many seeds you look at there will always be the moment you run across a seed that would have been better. For instance, after getting a good start on this world and building the Witch Farm in the nearby swamp I found another seed that had the witch hut much closer to the mansion and met most of our other requirements. Just save these for later and perhaps share them with other builders and continue enjoying the world you have.
