Have you gotten bored of singleplayer? Is dynamiting creepers from your diamond tower getting boring? Well, here is the solution.

Snork's Survival Challenge:


Rules:
-No torches. Yep. None.
-No doors or trapdoors.
-No beds. I suggest you build a base right near the spawn, or mark your trails whenever you are wandering.
-No lava buckets. You can build your base near it, or transport it manually by destroying blocks, but no buckets.
-No nether portals.
-Use seed -1784338777788894343

Your only light sources will be the sun, flint and steel and furnaces.

Points:

Pumpkins...........................10 points
Mossy Stone......................10 points
Brick Block.........................10 points
Bookshelves.......................10 points
Pistons..............................10 points
Cake.................................10 points
Slimeballs...........................50 points
Lapis Lazuli Blocks................50 points
Iron Blocks..........................50 points
Gold Blocks..........................100 points
Diamonds............................100 points
Saddles..............................150 points
Music Discs..........................150 points
Full diamond armor.................300 points (added to the points you get from the diamonds for a total of 2700)

To prove your score, I suggest removing all of your items from your inventory except the ones relevant to your score.

I'd make some semblance of a goal, or there's no incentive to try.

If individual diamonds are worth 100, and it takes 24 diamonds to make a full set of armor, why is the full set only 300 points?

The full set should be 2500 points. 100 x 24 = 2400 = 100 extra for the work = 2500. Yay I can do math! :mrgreen:

Cause I made it in a rush to please the seething masses :D You bring up an accurate point.

What I meant is that you get the 2500 points for the diamonds but you get 300 extra for making the armor.

I found a seed (minecraft [does what a vacuum does]) with ridiculous amounts of clay right near the spawn.

:D

I suggest we use the seed "thisseedisasmellydiaper" as you spawn right near a huge lava pit.

Or THISISTHEBESTSEEDOFALLTIME because it has an underice/water lava pit.

Why not a seed that actually forces a challenge? Such as the seed -1784338777788894343, which has very few ores around the spawn and also has a floating islands, meaning you spawn near complete darkness.
