Notch could replace Minecraft.net with goatse tomorrow and never publish an update again; the only legal recourse I have is to shake my fist at the screen.

Well, my birth name is "Dr Epic-sandwhich-with-small-order-of-awesome-sauce-on-the-side", but my world was unjustly anticlimactic. And I started on sand, instead of diamond blocks, and most of my world was stone and air.
I'm somehow just noticing this now, so I'll see what I can come up with for this. If I fail to make a suitable maze in time, then I'll have to content myself with trying other people's mazes.
I've just heard of this contest, some of the members on my servers really wanted me to submit my maze. I made it on an online server, the IP is ***************** and you can type "/warp maze" to warp directly in front of it. Anyone can join, as long as you've got a minecraft account. There is no whitelist, but you need builder status to build anything, so I'm not really scared of grieffing.
I've been working on the maze for almost a month now, it's a multi-layered mazes with three different stages in it (I planned on making 4 stages, but the new update kinda ****ed the goal area of Stage 3 so I can't keep going until it's fixed...) Each Stage is a completely different kind of maze.
Ganiam asked that his maze not be made public till the end, so the IP and details are hidden for now, and will be revealed near contest end.

Ooh, maze contest.
I've started work on my multi-stage maze, taking ideas from what I've seen (like that one person's moving labyrinth), though I might not finish everything I want to fit into the maze (puzzle stage, and some other not-exactly-maze things) by the deadline. This really reminds me of when I first started on creative multiplayer and all I made were mazes 'cause I didn't know what else to make xD
I haven't actually consciously applied any of the maze-theory in the OP before I read it, though after reading it I now notice a lot of the things I didn't realize before.
Looking forward to looking at the other entries :smile.gif:
Glad it helped! I am not an expert on maze theory either, but you can learn a lot of good skills for generating a maze that is confusing, or slow or difficult to solve if you apply the right set of principles. Little things like adding variation or landmarks, or identifiable passages also work to give the solver a foothold to learning the sturcture, or the abscence can make things more frustrating, if desired. Bottlenecks and the number of loops or alternative solution paths are also key to consider, as they will determine difficulty for sure.
Some time ago I did in creative a somewhat intresting maze. It had multiple floors and elevators to go up and down as well as some challanges that if you failed to do would cause in going back or even to the start. Can I do another like that one? :3

Been working on it for the past month, and I just heard about the contest.
