[size=large][b]Pancake Survival 1.2 is here!
This is bugfix release of the new minimal-survival map from the maker of [url="http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1536419-surv-oceanblock-survival-40/"]OceanBlock![/url][/b][/size]
([b]No, this is not about surviving on pancakes.[/b])
[b] NOTE: This map will only work on Minecraft 1.5 or later![/b]
[b]OceanBlock had too much of everything. Too many villagers. Too much water. Too much [i]CONTROL[/i].[/b]
[b]So I took those away.[/b]
[b]Now it's just you, some trees, and a single, solitary friend.[/b]
CHANGELOG:
[b]1.0 Initial release[/b]. You can pretty much make, breed, grow, spawn, or trade for everything in the game, eventually. If you're smart
[b]1.1 Biome Bugfix[/b]. Added 4 biomes: Jungle, Mushroom, Swamp, and Taiga. Click the below spoiler to see how to upgrade your own map, or just download the new map when you screw up next
[spoiler][list=1]
[*]Make sure your lava block is uncovered. If you've moved your lava, build something so you can see where it was, if you were looking down on your world from below (Like, a big circle of wood centered on that spot)
[*]Download and install [url=http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1119044-tool-biome-painter-10-edit-your-minecraft-worlds-biomes/]BiomePainter[/url]
[*]Open it, and open your map. It should be in %appdata%\.minecraft\saves\Pancake_1.0\level.dat
[*]You should be able to find the single square of lava, near the middle of your map. Or, you should be able to find the structure you made in step 1. Center it in the box and zoom in all the way (Magnification 10x)
[*]On the right side, click the cirle selection brush, then set the diameter to 45. Center your mouse on the lava block and click. It should turn orange.
[img]http://pulpaudio.com/mc/pc/1.png[/img]
[*]Below the map area, below where it says "Edit Biomes in Selection," click the drop box and select "Jungle". Then click "Fill." Now, when you hover over the orange box, the tooltip will read "Jungle" instead of "Plains"
[*]On the right hand side, click the white square under "Select." The orange circle will turn green.
[*]Click the square under "Selection Brush," and lower "Brush Diameter" to about 35. Then click the map so that you highlight it as in the picture.
[img]http://pulpaudio.com/mc/pc/2.png[/img]
[*]Back in the bottom area where it says "Edit Biomes in Selection", set the right two drop boxes to "Jungle" and "Mushroom Island", respectively. Click "Replace" to their right.
[*]Click that white square under "Select" and the upper left quadrant of your circle should turn a shade of blue.
[img]http://pulpaudio.com/mc/pc/3.png[/img]
[*]Click on the square Selection Brush again, and click the next (upper right) quadrant of the circle. Note you're going around the lava square like a pinwheel. Down below, change "Mushroom Island" to "Swampland" and click "Replace." Click the white square under "Select" and that quadrant should now be another drab shade of blue.
[img]http://pulpaudio.com/mc/pc/4.png[/img]
[*]Repeat the process for the lower-right quadrant. First click the area, then change "Swampland" to "Taiga," click "Replace" and then click the white square under "Select." It should be a dark greenish color.
[img]http://pulpaudio.com/mc/pc/5.png[/img]
[*]Hover over each quadrant of the circle. They should be (in clockwise order from the lower left) Jungle, Mushroom Island, Swampland, and Taiga. The lava block should be Jungle (bonus jungle square!)
[*]Save and exit, and you've upgraded from Pancake 1.0 to Pancake 1.1!
[/list]
[/spoiler]
[b]1.2 Diamond Bugfix[/b]. Fixed the strange behavior with the diamonds. If you want to upgrade manually, do this for each diamond you find that acts strangely:
[spoiler][list=1]
[*]Throw all of your diamonds into the lava
[*]Make sure you have at least one open slot in your hotbar inventory (where you can wield stuff)
[*]Hit ESC.
[*]Click "Open To LAN"
[*]Click "Allow Cheats: OFF" to turn it ON.
[*]Click "Start LAN World"
[*]Then hit "T" to open the terminal window.
[*]Type /gamemode creative
[*]Hit ESC to exit terminal mode
[*]Hit "E" to go into inventory
[*]Scroll down the list to find diamonds. You can also hit "T" here and then type "diamond" to filter
[*]Drag one (or two, or however many you have lost) diamonds to your hotbar
[*]Hit ESC to leave inventory
[*]Hit "T" for the terminal again
[*]Type /gamemode survival
[*]You may also want to quit the map and reload it to turn off LAN mode.
[/spoiler]
Note: There are ONLY 3 diamonds in the map. Exploiting the bug (or the fix) for more diamonds (or anything else) is cheating.

Notes:
[spoiler][list]
[*]Yes, it's an infinite plane of dirt.
[*]Even good machines will stutter a bit when you break a dirt block. It's part of the Minecraft lighting engine and I can't do anything about it.
[*]When you start, there's no water, stone, ores, grass, or anything like that. You don't need them. Well, you do need them but not right away.
[*]Anything that you need, that you don't see plainly in front of your face, is in the Nether.
[*]There are 5 biomes in the world. Most of the world is a plains biome, but there is also a snow, a jungle, a swamp, and a mushroom biome nearby.
[*]Read the spawning rules for slimes. There are 2 ways to spawn them and both are viable on this map. To be nice, I've placed that lava block on the intersection of 4 chunks, and all 4 of those chunks will generate slimes. There is also a decent sized swamp area. Enjoy!
[*]Read the spawning rules for Mooshrooms. In particular, the height restriction! They'll never spawn on the plane you start on, you'll have to think vertically.

[b]FAQ:[/b]
[spoiler]
[b]How do I get cobblestone? Where's the Water?[/b]
Until you get to the Nether, there IS NONE.
Anything you can do with cobblestone, you can do with wood, except maybe holding lava.
And if you're clever, you can get the dirt too.
[b]What about Iron?[/b]
Iron is a renewable resource, and getting it is one of your goals. If you do the challenges in order you'll get iron eventually.
[b]What about Whithers? I bet you didn't think about those.[/b]
You can get Whithers in the Nether. I apologize right now for how hard a task that's going to be.

List tags are malformed.
Not at all! I'd hate to play this on Hardcore but by all means feel free!
(I sound all strict in the rules but really, I just want people to enjoy my maps )
Thats what I thought, just wanted to make sure. Also since theres no hardcore mode version yet. If you want I could provide a direct media fire link to it.

Thanks for the offer, but now that I know how (I googled NBTExplorer ) I'm going to do it myself, to both this and OceanBlock. Hopefully I'll have the Hardcore link up in a couple hours.
I was GOING to start a new hardcore world and then paste all the stuff in with MCEdit, but this will be SOOOOO much easier!

Edit: now thinking about it, I should try ocean block as well...
You should! People seem to like it and I'm pretty proud of it. It seems so simple until you try to do stuff. A lot like this map, at least a lot like this one hopefully is
Looks interesting, I'll try it out! I'm dying to see what's in that chest, what trades the villager offers, and what (if anything) is under the dirt!
Maybe I'll record a Let's Play, without knowing what to expect!
In your FAQ, I'm not sure what this means:
How do I get cobblestone? Where's the Water?
Until you get to the Nether, there IS NONE.
Anything you can do with cobblestone, you can do with wood, except maybe holding lava. And if you're clever, you can get the dirt too.
Is that just a joke, since there is so much dirt on this map? Or did you intend to say something else here?
Ghasts are a real pain before it is possible to make a shelter. I saw no other way than using peaceful mode for a while, sorry about that. I would gladly see how other people do. I was lucky with the blaze.
I managed to get enough cobblestone to start some potions. Things should be easier now.
I did not find any red mushroom. Maybe I overlooked something?
If you're cool with going into peaceful mode, I'm cool with you going into peaceful mode.
The only way to get a red mushroom is to spawn a mooshroom, on grass, in the mushroom biome.
Another great survival challenge map! Loved your ocean block and doing the 4.1 now but I got to play on pancake for a few.... FRUSTRATING in a good way lol, creepers I hate them even more now. Keep up the good work, Id love to see your take on a new Sky Block
I hope you're proud of yourself, 5thHorseman. (Stern glare over the top of my glasses).
I am! To be totally honest though, that was pretty much what I expect day 1 to look like for a lot of people.
And now you know what I mean about "if you're clever you can even get some of the dirt." You can't simply break it and hope to get any reasonable amount back.
Don't worry about spoiling the best surprises. There are plenty more in the Nether. Plenty more.
I took one quick look at the flatland generation preset (with nbtexplorer) and it confirmed what I thought about dirt being hard to get! Nice idea! In comparison with ocean block you can start a (waterless) farm relatively easy, but it has its own unique set of challenges. As soon as I upgraded to 1.5 I'll give it a go! Here is a diamond:
Dear god... 5th has done it again. Another hard, survival map. If not for the lack of crazy spawners, I could almost mistake you for Vechs. (almost)
Now all we need is an air map kinda like skyblock but better and more updated *cough* (oceanblock style) and a firey based map (anti-oceanblock? Reverse the lava and water oceans?) and you'll have the four Western Elements covered. Earth, Water, Air and Fire.
-Edit-
As you probably know, I can't live without my mods, so I opened this in my modded client. and big suprise, some of the modded terrain generation gave away the secret behind the dirt. Now I am almost 100% certain you are related to Vechs, either that, or he has inspired you to be evil. Just for the record though. While some of my mods might make things easier, (dimensional doors dungeons will generate with large amounts of what you would find in a vanilla dungeon) things like railcraft will make it harder on me. (hard to make rails)
Oh, and dimentional doors is a double edge for me. If I die in any of it's dungeons/dimensions and escape their "limbo" dimension, I'm going to be a long distance away from spawn. *cough* several thousand blocks *cough*
In case your wondering how far several thousand is, take a look at the co-ords in this screenshot of another world of mine.
(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?

And for better or for worse, there is a link to a Hardcore mode of the map. I do not suggest this for anybody.

WARNING, this video spoils some of the map's best surprises, I'd encourage you to at least start your map before watching my video:
LOL, looking at that screenshot, I should have titled the video "Birch Saplings, the best defense against zombies"
I am! To be totally honest though, that was pretty much what I expect day 1 to look like for a lot of people.
And now you know what I mean about "if you're clever you can even get some of the dirt." You can't simply break it and hope to get any reasonable amount back.
Don't worry about spoiling the best surprises. There are plenty more in the Nether. Plenty more.
Did you know I write Science Fiction? Well I do. Check it out at http://planetretcon.com/books/
Now all we need is an air map kinda like skyblock but better and more updated *cough* (oceanblock style) and a firey based map (anti-oceanblock? Reverse the lava and water oceans?) and you'll have the four Western Elements covered. Earth, Water, Air and Fire.
-Edit-
As you probably know, I can't live without my mods, so I opened this in my modded client. and big suprise, some of the modded terrain generation gave away the secret behind the dirt. Now I am almost 100% certain you are related to Vechs, either that, or he has inspired you to be evil. Just for the record though. While some of my mods might make things easier, (dimensional doors dungeons will generate with large amounts of what you would find in a vanilla dungeon) things like railcraft will make it harder on me. (hard to make rails)
Oh, and dimentional doors is a double edge for me. If I die in any of it's dungeons/dimensions and escape their "limbo" dimension, I'm going to be a long distance away from spawn. *cough* several thousand blocks *cough*
In case your wondering how far several thousand is, take a look at the co-ords in this screenshot of another world of mine.
... ?!?!??!
What, ocean block gave you too much stuff? You traded an ocean of water for one lava?
... What's in that starter chest?
So, I'm assuming that there's air and void underneath the dirt. Makes creepers really painful.
Hmm ...
Lava-Ocean Block Survival. Just you, some friends, and trees that will catch on fire. No water until you can get to the nether ...

(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?
