Wasssssssssss upppppppp I just put your signature because I like it. I haven't downloaded the map yet but I might in a min. I like the look of it though. BTW does anyone know if this works for Mac??????? I like your Mod though :biggrin.gif:
Oh. Umm, thanks a lot for the support. I hope you like the map, if you play it. Anyhow, I don't actually know if it works for macs. I'm pretty sure every map works on macs and windows. By the way, the next version of this map is coming out in a few hours.
Very cool map. I am enjoying these types of skyblock challenges. No, I don't say you are copying it either, I can see your's was out first.
I think you guys are all onto something very cool here with these types of maps. It becomes a sort of "build your own world" from scratch kind of thing. And a bit of a "puzzle" experience at the same time, figuring the best approach, etc.
I am going to try your map soon, and will be sure to give some feedback.
1.5.1 is out. This version was mostly just a few small changes, and a few big changes.
-- Changelog --
Added a few more things to one biome (still trying to keep things secret)
Added more iron and coal in the first square (I'll add more ores in the other squares, as I noticed they were lacking ores)
Added a small ravine to one of the squares
Changed the end of the map so there isn't a huge stone wall in front of the grass
Removed all of the Nether squares (better plans for the nether later on)
Reduced the amount of spawners on each square (wolves are much less common now)
Changed what some of them spawn
Reduced the file size
That's basically all I can remember. Here's the download link. I really need pictures, though. The one thing I'm too lazy to do is take pictures.. If someone could take pictures of the latest version for me, I would appreciate that a lot. Also, +1 rep if you do. :smile.gif:

Thanks a lot. And yeah, I was hoping people wouldn't make that mistake. At the time I made this, I didn't expect there to be around 20 more floating survival maps later on. It's really discouraging, cause people will just see this as another floating survival map. Oh well.
I'll be updating this map soon. Once Minecraft stops updating, the map will be finished.
I wanna add a ton of things to this map. Adding a Stronghold is gonna be so boring and hard, but I'll try. I might give up soon though, because I'm practically making this map for nothing. If it gets a little more popular, I'll keep making it though.
Plans for 1.5.2:
Actual nether squares in the Nether somehow
A more realistic looking patch of gravel
Two types of animals on each square with grass
Some small fixes
Many more ores in the squares (still not enough)
Even more ores at the very bottom of the squares, so it forces you to actually dig to the lowest layers
Caves with lava (don't know if I'll do that)
Many more caves that are not connected to the surface
Anything else I think of
Even though nobody cares, I wanna know what this map is missing, or if I should get rid of some things. I don't know what to do, and I don't have enough people who care about this map, so it makes it harder to decide. Sorry for the double post, too.
EDIT: Sorry guys, apparently the 1.5.1 version was an old version. I'll be fixing that now. I used the wrong file.
DUDE THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I played last night and today..... i have to admit it wad pretty hard and intense i cant wait for a second version

Thanks a lot. :biggrin.gif: I'm glad you liked it. There will definitely be a lot of changes in the next update.
I just added many new things to the topic, such as a Poll and a story. I thought of the story while I was writing it.. :tongue.gif: Please vote in the poll, so I can decide what to do. I'm not good at making decisions on my own. Thank you.
Now all that's left is making a better name. Sky Island Roads sounds pretty unoriginal, so I need to think of something else.
lol i just started the skyblock survival map and saw you posted clicked your sig cause it spiked my curiosity and now im going to try it out and probably record my progress with videos like i am with the skyblock map. ill pm ya when i get some up if you want.
BTW: i read your post so i will mention in my vid prob that you didn't mimc the skyblock survival map!

Alright, that's awesome. I'm glad someone is finally making a video of it. Can't wait to watch the video :biggrin.gif:
lol its ok ocomobock. im close to uploading it just gotta do a load of laundry then ill be able to upload it. this episode i didnt remember to say yours came out first so thats ep.2 lol, also im playing thru day / night cycles since i can only upload vids 15min or less right cause youtube hates lol
BTW im a bit scared of digging down even if its in a spiral case type of thing, but how far down do these islands go and do they have bedrock at the bottom to make sure we dont die?

Each of these squares goes to layer 1, and there is bedrock at the very bottom. The bedrock is completely flat. There aren't any lava pits in the middle of it currently, but I might add a few. There are caves unconnected to the surface though, so beware.
Due to the votes, I will be adding more pictures. I don't wanna ruin the adventure part of this map, but people seem to want pictures. I will also add patches of coal in the other squares, since it's hard enough to find coal in the first square. Charcoal is a pain to make, too.

hmm really? lol after i finished ep.2 i found a nice ammount of iron and coal in my mine XD. yeah this map is really hard with all these mobs spawning at night and then since creepers stay spawned its like "That'ssss a very nice inventory you have there." Boom type deal its very difficult lol made me die near the end of ep.2, ep 1 is up btw ill just insert it.

EDIT 2: Fixed.
Sorry, something is probably messed up... Again... :sleep.gif:
I'll fix this right now. Try this download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oaelz1x1uvk9441
I thought some things might be wrong with it, but I didn't have time to test. Really sorry. If something is wrong with that one, please tell me.
EDIT: That was the wrong download link.. Everything is going wrong.. Uhmmmmmm... One second..
EDIT 2: I don't see anything wrong with the map. Try to download the latest version again.
Thanks a lot. :biggrin.gif: I'm glad you liked it. There will definitely be a lot of changes in the next update.
Awesome. I hope to hear what you think of the map.
