Ever think about what it would be like to be stranded with a bunch of your friends on an island? Want to be seafaring pirates on your server? Here’s the seed for you. This seed has no mainland in sight, and there are several small islands and one island with a stronghold. Each island could be built up to the group’s liking and sail across the bodies of water to explore and find other lands.
