Here is some information on my new Complete the Monument style map that is a throwback to the old 404 challenge. It doesn't require you do a big cave without torches like the 404, but I did have the old 404 challenge in mind when I made it.
What is the map?
This map is inspired by a Vechs style map where your task is to complete the 16 wool monument. It was also inspired by the old pre1.8 404 challenge which I personally spent a lot of time working through. This map is intended to start off very easy and progress to be a bit harder. It isn't exactly "ROMhack" hard but medium/hard beyond the first 4 wool.
Rules:
1) Find and complete the Victory Monument.
2) Find wool in chests scattered around the map, do NOT use dyes, placed wool, or spider string for wools!
3) Use at least Easy difficulty, and never Peaceful.
4) Do not leave the boundaries of the map and go into normally generated Minecraft terrain.
5) Survive in any way you can think of. (Yes, you can mine, craft, and place blocks.)
6) You may use spider string wool and sheep wool to craft beds and other items, but not for the Victory Monument.
7) Leave the surface before the first night and never return, even by death (IE set your spawn in the cave before you die the first time, yes, you are going to die)
Versions: Version 1.2 10/24/2011
- Updated the pond on the surface after a lot of requests.
- Changed the surface blocks to half slabs to prevent surface spawning.
- Added 1 little creeper trap early on, nothing special.
Version 1.1 10/23/2011
- Updated a few balancing things.
- Removed the early wheat farm.
- Added 1 piece of dirt a little earlier for tree growth.
- Added more hidden lava :-)
Version 1.0
- First Release.
If you like the map or have suggestions etc, please feel free to post.
Nice, though while i play it, it could use a little more ***** THIS, I'M GONNA QUIT* moments. Like how i feel about most maps. That vechs makes. That *******. On topic, as i said, nice map.
I was making a chest, then a creeper exploded behind me and destroyed the Victory Monument thing. Picture perfect moment! I did have to restart though..

i almost felt as if i were too smart for this map. From watching you and b00 play, and all of the Vechs maps i've watched, and the 404 challenges...i haven't fallen for any of your traps yet. xD i'm so paranoid, constantly scanning the ceiling and walls, standing as far away as possible from whatever i'm mining. It's a good map so far, i'm excited to finish it! i'm waiting for one of the Mindcrackians to LP it though, that's going to be *great*

BdoubleO tested it it last night and I kind of followed him around, so there should be some video from that soon.

Made a little video of me and usr1k playing this map. The video's only about 10 min because I had some audio issues (you'll see) and had to cut it down, but I think it has some pretty good laughs. We plan to keep on going, though, and I'll get the kinks out of the recording process for the next episode.

Fantastic!~
Edit ;; Bwah! That **** was *hard* ._. i can't even count how many times i died, stupid creepers. Now to go through it on Peaceful to see what i missed! The green wool was the last one i found, Holyshitimanidiot. xD Amazing map, but now i need to shower and sleep, i'm exhausted! Thanks Guude!
I am only about halfway through so far but I would add more spawners in the first part, I just stopped bothering to light it up, not enough danger. In most cases it was easy to find and/or destroy the existing spawners so the rush of mobs in most places hasn't been an issue. Anyone who is on normal or easy (I play on hard) should walk through most of the area's I have explored so far.
Also ton down the amount of food given is another suggestion.
So far having a fun time on it, love some of the design. I had a nice "awww" moment while exploring which I won't say to avoid spoilers.
