SkyBlock Survival Map for Minecraft 1.7/1.6

The Skyblock Suvival Map for Minecraft is one of the most popular Survival Minecraft maps. The reason for this is that it is a very unique and fun map, that is incredible simple. The premise is that you spawn on your own floating island, with a tree and a chest with a lava bucket and some ice. That is all you have in the beginning, and it is then up to you to complete certain challenges, or simply try to see how far you can take this little island with the extremely limited resources available.

This is the original floating island type of maps, and it has served as the blueprint for many survival maps following it.

The official rules of the map are as follows (you don’t HAVE to follow these in singleplayer, but it makes it more fun and challenging):

• You must not purposely jump off your island to regenerate your health.
• You must not make a bridge to the mainland.
• You must play on at least easy difficulty.

Important: if you die before having slept in a bed on your island, it is likely that you won’t be able to respawn on your island, and then will have to reinstall the map or use console commands to get back to your island.  So getting a bed build should be a priority.

In addition to the rules, here are the official challenges for this map (again, in singleplayer, just to make it more fun and challenging):
