I'm having troubles with downloading the map, when ever I go onto Media-Fire I cant download it. Is it a problem with my computer? Please someone tell me I thought the map would be really fun to play on.
I should have an episode of our LP starting the first week of January some time, but not sure how long it will be until I rate it, so I'll share some feedback along the way.
We are really enjoying the visual build and the theater concept!
I also appreciate the central hub mechanic.
There are a few places where command blocks become exposed - don't care for that.
The mob islands are too close to the main island - it's very tempting to ender pearl or bridge across. They should be 15+ chunks away (in my opinion) so you can't see them.
Love the poetry / lore bits
Wow! Thank you for keeping me and everyone updated! =D
Also, I already appreciate the feedback here, and so please don't feel any needs to rush. (^-^)
Otherwise hopefully in an understandable order, below are some comments for whoever wants to know more or is willing to comment further about it. Hahaha
Thanks! I actually was a bit unsure of how people would feel about the theatre since it was to me a bit jarring to be teleported into the scenes and back, but at the time, I thought it and having the scenes somewhat close to the main island was my best solution to keep things cohesive but clearly separated at the same time. I hope that made sense! =/ haha
Thanks again! Besides the above, I wanted to have a place where players could actually build more freely without having to destroy their surroundings, so everyone please let me know what you thought of it. =P If I remember correctly, I actually got the idea when qmagnet said something about building on what you've already built on the last map.
The command blocks being visible is actually something I also really disliked but couldn't figure out a better solution for since there isn't a lot of room in all the mob statue's heads. I think I originally wanted to do an execute command, but I still consistently experience a lag spike when using the give command for the head. As a result, I thought it would be best for it to be player activated to not confuse anyone as much. If anyone knows why it happens and how to stop that from happening, I'd really appreciate it! I don't really care for having exposed command blocks either... >_<...
To be honest, I purposefully made them close enough to be visible in case anyone lost their emeralds or tickets that allowed them to enter the scenes. Basically, I wanted to prevent the likelihood of anyone getting into a situation where they feel they can no longer progress in the map. Otherwise, I also had others tell me that they thought it would be good to minimize the amount of bridging that happens if it has to at all since they thought it was pretty boring, and they also appreciated that "look-out" point of view you could get before going to the scenes. Hahaha Do you think really emphasizing the convenience of the theatre would be a better way to discourage players from bridging or using an ender pearl?
Thank you! I actually had some help on that, but they told me they didn't want to be mentioned, so I'll just be sure to tell them. =D
Review Summary(tentative)
Whimisical themed CTM, in which you watch various movies (each one a poetic, mob-themed area where you collect mob heads for the monument) at a theater (the central hub). Areas can be attempted in any order and are primarily floating islands around the central area. Sources for stone, wood, and food are plentiful - but higher tier materials seem well portioned. The areas themselves are small to moderate, relying mostly on natural darkness spawns. Lots of lore and personal touches throughout.
Total Rating: 12/20(tentative rating)
Wow! I just said wow on the last comment...
Anyway~ I really appreciate how descriptive that brief was, and I think I'll have to use it now if anyone asks me about this map! Haha =D
I also want to say thank you for all the explanations for each score in the map review video; they were very useful, and I'll have to keep them in mind while making future maps.
Besides that, I'm very flattered.
The two of you were quite entertaining!
One note though, the beacon signs are for three nether stars that are hidden throughout and one from a wither if you choose to complete the normal Minecraft achievements.
Not very interesting.
Several empty chests?
Barely any room for mobs to spawn.
Felt very much lacking in lore, as compared to the first story. Only one cryptic emote (from Jessie) that we didn't understand. Why is it called a fairy story?
No real clue as to how many heads we were supposed to find (we got 3). And some decent iron.
We weren't sure if the pig was part of this scene, way in the distance. Since the pig head was next to the cow and mooshroom, we thought it might be 'next' and bridged all the way to the pig. Then we realized the pig is probably part of the scene at the table :/ But other than a few diamonds, the pig seems like it's not worth the time.
Looking forward to the 3rd area!
Hello again!
I'm sorry that it wasn't very interesting, but I'm not sure why there were empty chests since there should only be empty ones on the main island.
Did you happen to open the map on a different version or anything like that before going there?
If not, do you think you could tell me which chests they were since I can't seem to find any that are empty.
Also, I'm sorry, but looking back at the scene again, I can see why it's not completely clear that the standing pigs at the table are part of the same scene.
If I'm understanding what happened in your series, I believe that may be why you felt that way about the mob spawns, and I'll have to think about how close I want to move them in if at all without losing the meaning of the scene.
Probably later since it's a bit late here... >_<... Hahah
Otherwise, from what I understand, the reason George Orwell called it A Fairy Story is because the moral story it carries while using fantastic elements of talking animals to represent the more serious things that happened beginning from before the Russian Revolution, which is more like what I know as a fable.
Also, according to Wikipedia, the subtitle was dropped when the book was presented to publishers in the United States and from then after for almost all other translations, which is why most readers don't know about the subtitle.
As for the number of heads in each scene, there are as many tickets sold by the Ticket Vendor as there are heads within that scene so that each head has a matching banner. =P
Specifically speaking, Animal Farm should have six in total.
To explain what's happening overall in Animal Farm though, the scene mainly conveys the last moments of the book where men and pigs are indistinguishable while playing a card game inside the home while the other animals are separated outside of the window peering inward. Snowball, the pig far away still on four legs who also mostly represents Leon Trotsky, is being chased away by Napoleon's trained puppies as he was near the middle of the book, Chapter 5 according to SparkNotes. hahah XP
Anyway, the scene was meant to convey the distance between classes created by the pigs corruption, greed, and manipulation and the trusting and naive working class of animals through the difficulty of reaching the pigs altogether; at the same time, I wanted players to feel literally closer to the suffering animals because they were much easier to reach.
My apologies if any of it felt like too much suffering since it was actually a part of how I was attempting to convey the lore. =/
Also, I'm not really sure what I would change about it to help make more sense as a scene without losing that underlying meaning, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know! =)
I'll have to keep thinking about it still. Hmmm... haha
Could I ask what would have been more worth your time to go to the Snowball pig?
Specifically, would different items or more items been better?
Also, did you have a certain expectation of how the reward would be besides the mob head that might give me a better idea of what would be worth it?
The number of banners the ticket salesman gives you on purchase of a scene is the number of heads in the scene. The banners are supposed to go on the monument, but I think it could be clearer. It's not very obvious.
Oi! Why didn't you tell me that before?!?!?
Hahaha
What do you think I could do to make that clearer??
I don't if just writing it in the first post or a "Read Me" would suffice. Hmm~~
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I totally had no idea! Are they required to be on the monument, in order to be detected at the end or something? Or just the heads?
What PL9 said up until the subtitle part. Hahaha
The banners are just for fun and decoration after you get into the scenes. =D
Just the heads need to be put on the monument. Also apparently A Fairy Story is the actual original name of Animal Farm. The subtitle was removed when it was published in English... hmm...
Thanks for responding to everything!
...but... it was dropped when it was published in the United States. Hahaha
George Orwell was an English writer. o.O...
~and, sorry if it seems like stickling, but I just think it's important to note what kind of power publishers and marketing ideas have over an author's work starting from back then =/
This map is amazing! I play it with my husband and my son, we all enjoy it! Besides it looks beautiful!
Great work!
Can I ask for some hints/spoilers?
Where are slime's, squid's and magma cube's heads?
What's the deal with this Guardian in "Le Savon?". When I approach it I get Mining Fatigue and I can't do anything with it.
What to do in this "no smoking" room after Le Savon (before Sleeping Dragon)?
That's amazing! I am ecstatic to hear that you play with your loved ones. =D
Please tell them thank you for trying out the map, and thank you so much for telling me.
As for the spoilers, I'll put them in these spoilers! Hahaha
The slime head is in "Confused Party" behind and outside the Slime mob on the ground made of "cake" or snow.
The magma cube head is also on the back wall the Magma Cube if you walk around the outside of it. The statue is in a corner in the Nether, so it's not the one on the cake.
The squid head is inside of the horizontal squid. There should be a sort of hill of stone in the bottom corner next to the eyes and opposite of the pile of ores where you can walk under.
To deal with the Mining Fatigue, the Minecraft wiki suggests going in with milk or a pickaxe with Efficiency II or higher.
The scene with the no smoking sign means "Mobs' War" or just "Mob War" in Korean, and you'll need to light the obsidian to connect it to the portal in the Nether.
There should be a few mob heads waiting in there for you, too! =)
I'm having troubles with downloading the map, when ever I go onto Media-Fire I cant download it. Is it a problem with my computer? Please someone tell me I thought the map would be really fun to play on.
Hi there! I just tried relinking the mediafire address.
Do you think you could try it out now and let me know what happens??
I will add this map to my list of maps to play, looks great.
Why thank you! I'm grateful for a good first impression.
Please let me know if you're a YouTuber so that I can add to my playlist. =)
If not, I hope to hear from you again anyway!
For me Animal Farm was very interesting part of a map - so many mobs and places to explore Beautifully done
And it makes sense as a reference to George Orwell. I love George Orwell's novels. "Animal Farm" is a sad story and you pictured it very well.
Hello again! I actually just responded to your other comment, right after this post went through.
Talk about the timing~ Hahaha
Anyway~ Thank you! It's actually probably my favorite scene conceptually because I love the book so much. Hahah
The meaning and lessons from it are just so valuable to me, and it's very comforting that you could make sense of it. =)
I do however think that I have some work to do with how that scene plays out since it doesn't seem to be clear if you're not as familiar with the book.
I'm not sure how and if it'll change yet, but if you have any suggestions, please do send them my way! =P
like this great map so much!
Btw that some of my friends they think the valuable blocks hiding inside the animals (iron block, gold ores, diamond ores ect,) are not placed on purpose for detecting, and cuz that we shouldn't dig a lot inside animals (that seems like "killing" these lovely animals they thought) to get valubles.
is that the ores only be used as good view, or can be mined as some rewards for adventure?
Yep, still can't say your name properly without thinking hard about it. Just letting you know that I'm launching my Meet the Mobs Again series tomorrow 12pm AEST. Great map, but a little confusing if you haven't watch the trailer or someone else play it. Anyway, just letting you know

See ya later. Oiq_pio
oip_qio, oip_qio, oip_qio...
see, i already download it in the minecraft/saves folder
but when i lunch the game. there's no world~~:steve_tearful: (plz see the attachments) ....how could this happens!
Any OTHER download websites its on? I dislike mediafire because advertisements interrupt your service there. I would reccomend a simple dropbox.
