Welcome to The Great 4 x6 minecraft mod map. This is a challenge map based off of the slyblock map. This map will take you to the edge of insanity or atleast make you want to cut your computer off. Also the map is full of riddles, It doesnt say give me this item. You have to figure out what it wants. But guess wrong and pay the price. Better make sure you are right and remember Google is your friend!
Now for the rules:
1. No cheats, No NEI. If you cheated items in whats the point.You can use Magnet mode. Thats ok. Also dont break any of the blocks that are already in the map such as the spawn and mod buildings.
2. You may build UP to but NOT on the building themselves. If the building needs you to add something to it like cables thats fine to. The resources on the buildings are for looks and function.
3. Do not enter the buildings, Wires and other thing are on the walls. Enter could damage the way everything works. If you must make another copy of the map and have a look around.
4. All the buildings require items, to find out what item it needs. you will need to read the riddle book for that building. The word riddle is used loosely. Some are riddles and others are clues. Sometimes it just says what you need to give it. Once you give the item its looking for you will get a reward. These are items or blocks you will need to keep playing. Everything else you will have to figure out how to get yourself.
5. Once all items have been given to that building the front sign will light up.
6. On your first start take as many building riddle books as you want. Also take a starter backpack. If you die and lose something important that you MUST have to keep going you may take a restart backpack. Take out what you need a throw the rest away. Or use them both, but thats not fair.....
7. HAVE FUN!!!! Click the start button after you collect everything you need.In the back of the spawn build there is a room that has a book that tells the answers to all the riddles. You will have to give it a block of gold to get the book.
Now for some Pictures of the 1.6.4 map:
Server Play
If you're playing this map on a server you will need to change a few setting on the server.
First enable command blocks
enable-command-block=true
Second Change spawn protection to 1 or 2
spawn-protection=1
Or you can op everyone on the server. Reason being is minecraft servers by default will protect the server from greifers. so you, unless you're OP, will not let you open chests or use the command block to start the map.
Also on servers spawn is funny in the skyblock type maps. You may spawn on the roof of the start building. I have added elevators on the roof to get you down. there the white blocks, just stand on them and push sneak.
This is works with v6.0.9.1 of the Techpack. It might work with newer or older versions but it hasnt been tested. I will change the info here if it does.
Download:Version 1.4This is the direct download of the map. The map is included in the DNS techpack. Just installing the pack will give you the option to install the map.
For Minecraft 1.2.5
Now for 1.2.5This map has a website with tons of info. Also stop by our IRC channel at #TG4 Welcome to The Great 4 Minecraft forums post. This map is meant as a tribute to the 4 greatest mods for minecraft there are. You will need to know how to use and have knowledge of the mods to play it. The four mods we are talking about are Buildcraft, Redpower, Industrial Craft 2, and Equivalent Exchange. Without all four mods this map could not be. WE hope you will enjoy it and give some feed back on it. This map Requires mods to work, so make sure you down load them.
Now First a word on Feed The Beast. (cause I know its coming)
Feed the Beast is a great map, we love it. The fact is this map is very similar to FTB, but also has its differences. We had this idea for the map for a long time but it kept getting put on the back burner for other projects. The creators of FTB simply beat us to it. Thats our problem and will now cause TG4 to look like a ripoff. We dont see this as a ripoff at all. This map is very different in its setup and is not so straight forward with what it requires to be completed. Plus we feel its got a little more style. And we hope the community has room in its heart for BOTH maps, FTB and TG4. Just look at TMI and NEI. both very similar but both very different. Please Give them both a try and see what you think, we don't want to compete with FTB just co-exist. To quote a friend of mine, Chicken Bones
Are all cars stolen, is the idea of making a table copied, are all computers ripoffs?
Like I said this is just another way to play the game.
Screenshots
Rules:
Rules are very simple.Each building requires 3 things to be completed.
1. You must supply each building with the energy it requires.2. The building will ask for 1 specific item for that mod the building represents.3. You must solve a riddle about an item from that mod the building represents and give it to the building. 1. You MAY NOT build on the Islands them self. You can build UP to them, just not on them.2. DO NOT spawn items in with NEI, TMI, or single player commands. (if you did what would be the point of the game)3.You MAY NOT break any blocks in the map except for the 2 blocks of sand and chest at the spawn and the four pieces of cobble in the nether, oh and the the block at spawn IF YOU DIE only.. Basically none of the blocks on the islands AT ALL. Breaking these could have an effect of the way the building work.4. You will see TWO Iron chest on the each building platform, one is the deposit chest and the other is the reward chest. For example if the building ask for a block of sandstone. Place the sandstone in the DEPOSIT chest and press the button next to it on the wall, and wait for the light to light up for that item. Then check the REWARDS chest for your reward. 5. Some rewards are instant and some you have to wait for, and can even take 10 to 20 minutes to get. This is because the block you give the building gets placed and has to do a job to make your reward, so be patient. 6. Once all 3 items are given to the Building it will light up the signs on the top of the building and you will receive a forth reward. This will be well worth the effort. The Forth rewards are things that are hard to come by in this type of map and well worth it, maybe.I will place the riddles here in case a creeper decides he doesn't like the way the sign are looking at him. Each riddle's answer is an item for that mod.
The riddles can be found on a platform next to the Buildcraft building. There are also hints hidden in the map somewhere. (but we're not telling where)Redpower Riddle: JESUS, Look at all this lava and water, I wonder if there is a way to collect it all? Buildcraft Riddle: So you have a quart of Valvoline and you wanted to power your gasoline powered car, how would you make that work?Equivalent Exchange Riddle: So you have an alchemical chest full of cobble, you could use a relay but NO, I wounder if there is something else you could use?Industrial Craft RiddleS: So you now need some vines and there are no shears in sight, what "machine" could you use to get them? If you get the item wrong and place it in the deposit chest, a wrong item light will flash and you can get the item back in the rewards chest. You will also get a surprise for handing in the wrong items!! Also to many wrong answers will result in a one time assault on your land, you get 30 tries.
IF you must see the inside of the buildings there is an opening at the top of the building where the wiring for the buildings signs comes through the roof. I would take this, breaking the walls of the build WILL break the machine. We have wiring on the wall in the build and we cant remember where we can go in and out of the buildings anymore.

I hope many more people download it and enjoy it like I am atm and love the riddles of the sections. Ideas: add more items to be inputed with riddles.
I like the idea of more riddles, If anyone would like to suggest more riddle other then the shitty ones we came up with let us know in a PM or something.
almost everything is updated, we are already starting work on 1.2.5. and there will be a modpack with the mods that are allowed to be given away. so thinks will be a little easier to install.
Now for the rules:
2. You may build UP to but NOT on the building themselves. If the building needs you to add something to it like cables thats fine to. The resources on the buildings are for looks and function.
3. Do not enter the buildings, Wires and other thing are on the walls. Enter could damage the way everything works. If you must make another copy of the map and have a look around.
