Minecraft With a Twist

Superflat Survival

Recently I have been a little bored of the ol' Minecraft so I asked my friends for any suggestions on what to do. One of them suggest quite an interesting idea of playing survival on flatland. At first I didn't think you would be able to play properly, but as a group we eventually figured out how to make ourselves sustainable.


Step 1:

First, under 'More World Options' change world type to 'Superflat' and make sure Generate Structures is on. 

Step 2:

Then walk until you find a village

And then you 'pillage' the blacksmith












Then take some wood, wheat and torches.













Then walk until you find another village

(Tip: You may need to make a make-shift house underground with a bed and torch to sleep through the night)













Step 3:

Repeat Step 3 until you have at least 12 Obsidian (for a nether portal&Enchantment Table), lots of iron (just for general use), flint from the gravel roads (to make flint and steel), some saplings, a bucket of water&lava (for a cobble generator and 2 Diamond (also for the enchantment table).


Step 4:

When you think you are prepared to set up shop, wall off an area where you can build a farm and a forest.













Step 5:

Make a cobble generator underground with your bed and storage













Step 6:

Progress however you want. The preceding steps are just a good guideline that worked well for me.

Some Tips:
 - Beware of slimes, they're everywhere
- Setup near a village with a Iron Golem  for a better supply of iron
- You can make torches yourself by burning wood to make charcoal and use that as a coal substitute
- Don't forget to have fun!

Any questions or comments don't be afraid to leave them. Good-luck and have fun.
