The Wolf and The Sheep Seed for Minecraft 1.8.8/1.9

If you long for a simple island seed that will allow you to try and survive in a desperate situation with few resources, you’re not alone. Island seeds of this type make up some of the most popular seeds which can be found, and there are perhaps thousands of videos on Youtube and elsewhere covering gameplay on such seeds. The Wolf and The Sheep seed is just about everything an island seed fan could want. The island is remote, there are few resources around and the handful of trees present allow only for a slow, steady expansion and building.

Thankfully there are a couple things which set The Wolf and The Sheep seed apart from other island seeds. For one, the main island where the player will spawn also has a wolf lurking around on it somewhere. Actually getting the bones to tame the wolf can be difficult, and breeding it is impossible without a second, so you’ll have to take very good care of that dog if you want to keep it alive. Second, there is a smaller, satellite island nearby which contains several sheep. Rather than just killing them for food, you should try to pen these to breed for wool and meat.

Of course, you’ll need some wheat to make more sheep. There are enough grass patches around that you should be able to get your hands on a few seeds and start planting, but again, the resources are very limited on this seed. Though there are few resources around, digging straight down will take you to a network of caves where you can collect coal, iron and other valuables to improve your situation back on the surface. There’s also an underwater monument nearby, at XYZ 823, 62, 680. As for the seed, just put the following number in to get the map: -6185261765285097501.
