Stranded: A Minecraft Survival Diary

Game: Minecraft (Java Edition)
Mode: Vanilla Survival (No Mods)
Goal: Defeat the Ender Dragon
Format: No Commentary Gameplay + Written Survival Logs


Some players build empires. I’m aiming for a roof and a food source before something eats me.

Stranded follows a grounded Minecraft survival run played without mods, shortcuts, or gimmicks.
Just surviving the world as it comes, one decision at a time, and pushing toward the End.

No speedrunning. No mega farms. No “100 days” challenges.
Just honest survival and whatever chaos Minecraft decides to throw my way.

🌱 About the World Seed

Yes — I will be sharing the world seed eventually. Just not at the start.

I’d rather experience this world naturally than turn the run into a checklist of
“go here for diamonds” and “there’s a village behind spawn.”

Once I’m far enough in — and the world has earned its stories — I’ll reveal it
for anyone who wants to try surviving it themselves.

Until then, discovery is part of the survival.

☠ Death Policy

This run is played on Hard difficulty.

If I die, the series ends and this world seed is retired from the diary.

I’ll keep playing the world privately if I want, but the survival story itself is over.

Real consequences, without throwing away hours of progress for the sake of a mode setting.

⚠ Survival, Not Speedrunning

To the best of my ability, this series avoids speedrunning tricks and physics exploits.

No boat clutching. No glitch saves. No mechanics that exist purely to break the game.

Stranded is about surviving the world — not defying it.

🧭 Navigation Without Coordinates

Wherever possible, I’ll avoid using in-game coordinates.

This run is about learning the world through landmarks, exploration, and memory — not navigating by numbers.


Getting lost is part of survival.
