Raftblock: Survive in the Sea

There are a lot of survival video games at the moment, and a dozen more such projects are released every year, some of which succeed and become well-known games that gain the recognition of the audience. One of the most popular survival-style projects are Rust, Valheim, Raft, and The Forest, and fans try to recreate their settings in Minecraft. The first of them is the topic of our review. It is a kind of sandbox survival where you need to collect different types of resources and try to survive amidst the ocean. As for Raftblock, its designer has fused two games on this map.

Who those who do not know, Raft is another extremely popular survival simulator where you find yourself in the middle of the ocean on a small raft. You need to collect different types of resources and items floating on the water's surface. Besides, you can fish, fillet the catch, try to build or improve something, surf the ocean in search of new lands, and follow a particular plot. It is a highly popular survival project on Steam, which is constantly being updated and refined, so it is no surprise that its setting can already be seen in such sandboxes as Minecraft.

Overview of the Raftblock Map

The main idea behind Raftblock is to recreate the mechanics of Raft in Minecraft so that the player survives on a raft and tries to develop. Accordingly, you will be able to build your raft, swim on it in the ocean, build farms, get different food types, catch random objects or blocks, and just try to survive on a 3x3 platform with a fishing rod in your hands. Moreover, you will have to start from scratch, but that is much more interesting than the sky block mode, provided you have already completed such maps before. Indeed, we have posted reviews of different sky block options more than once, but all of them have already got bored, along with the mode itself, and many players would like to try something new. The Raftblock map constitutes such an alternative.

If you like survival, adventures, and unusual game modes, this option will perfectly suit you. You can play it not only alone but also with friends — however, you will have to survive in the same conditions. That is, a certain number of blocks will be available, and a random amount of fish and other provisions will spawn, and that cannot be predicted in any way. If you decide to survive with several players, the rations of all the characters will be scarcer. However, you will perform several activities simultaneously, thus developing faster in the cubic world.

Your journey begins after the spawn on a raft of 3x3 blocks. It is made of oak wood and is vulnerable to weather conditions. Thus, if lightning strikes, your raft may burn, but that happens rarely. You have a fishing rod using which you can easily catch fish and feed the character. Indeed, your hunger bar is constantly decreasing, and you begin to starve. So if you do not find provisions, it will eventually drop to zero, and Steve will begin to lose health points. So be sure to pick up floating items and blocks, catch different types of fish and useful stuff in the ocean, look for floating barrels, craft a boat for yourself, and recall how the survival process in Minecraft usually begins.

As we have already noted, Raftblock is somewhat similar to sky-block maps, but you will have to survive in the ocean. You will have to start from scratch, as your character has practically nothing. However, the environment will not let you perish. Indeed, you are on the water, and there are many times more opportunities there than in the sky. Thus, you will be able to expand the raft in any direction, catch fish with a rod, get additional items with the very same rod, pick up floating blocks and barrels, kill mobs that happen to be nearby, craft different stuff, and just enjoy spectacular sunsets and sunrises.

Survival is one of the popular modes in Minecraft, so fans are trying to recreate in it many games that also belong to this category, such as Rust and ARK, since various mods and other add-ons allow them to easily implement the relevant functionality. The Raftblock map can boast unique and fascinating gameplay that you have certainly never enjoyed before. It is also periodically updated as the designer adds new features and different types of spawning items and blocks. So if you liked such a format for Minecraft, be sure to download the map and follow the updates.

We recommend that you recall all the secrets and tricks of the vanilla version of Minecraft to develop faster on a raft. They include endless sources, different types of recipes, phantoms at night, alternative fuel sources, and many other exploits that will be useful to you on the Raftblock map. It is one of the best alternatives to sky-block maps that allows you to survive not only alone but also in a team. It runs correctly on any version, but we have tested it on Minecraft 1.19.3. You can play it not only in the vanilla environment but also with shaders, most of which are also available on our website. They will significantly transform the water and biomes and add various effects.
