I've been looking for a survival map that has challenges but lets you roam free. This map is it! Sky block was too boring and survival island gets dull. Great map that combines the best of both!
Were you gonna make the Challenge hall at the Main Island at one point, or was this just you trolling people trying to mine? Embed RemovedEmbed Removed
Bedrock randomly place in a cave, with a large straight tunnel leading down from just slightly below the ground.
At one point i had created an elaborate shallow dungeon right under the main island, It was a temple with mob spawner's with one of the early quests. but my computer crashed and i lost the save. I lost ALOT of content with the crash and my motivation dropped after that. I tried to rebuild some of it but it was just far to complex (alot of hidden redstone circuitry encased in bedrock blah blah) The map seems to be far more popular then i expected and the reviews so far have all been great considering i basicly released a beta version then stopped working on it. All the great replies have spurred me to refocus my effort back on this as the server i was working on started to get far to complicated for me in terms of mods and setting them up.
so to answer your question, its reminents of some half made content i decided to scrap. Thanks for the pictures, ill be sure to clean it up in the next build.

This map is SO AMAZING! ARGH SO GOOD! DEFINITELY MY FAVOURITE MAP!
Will you be updating it? expanding it? or making more places?
Yes, I have been working on several other projects as of recent but they seem to have gotten far to complicated for my current knowledge of server mods. After visiting this thread again and seeing the lovely responses ive been getting, ive decided to pick this project back up full time and push for a polished release. Before i can add new content i need to work on getting the map to a stage im happy to call Version 1.0 instead of beta. But the versatility of the style of map allows for many expansions and added Content. If all goes well id love to make similar or even a direct successor.
Thankyou for checking it out and im glad you enjoyed it!

Wow. I only just read the first post and I already thinks it's a great map! Hopefully, I won't run into any trouble with this. Great idea for a map!
EDIT: aww, I can't play it. It's a rar file. Do you think you can get it into a zip folder? I cannot do that on my computer
Sure ill see about uploading a .zip file as well. Are you on a mac or something? If your on windows i would suggest grabbing a program called Winrar

I know this may be going against what you want to do with the map. But maybe adding a list of all the quests/challenges in a txt file for the people who like using these ?
Love this map its the best I've played =D
Ive written that down on my list of things to do, Its a good idea as i understand not all people share my views. Im very open to people playing my map ANY way they choose... I will try to compile a txt file and include it in the download =)

yes yes and YES!!! Absolutely!!! However right now im working on the multiplayer support. Im having trouble with the spawning for servers. I though about just simply moving the spawner to the plane but MCedit wont let me due to lack of room. So im trying to brainstorm some sort of alternative. It looks like im going to have to build a modified version of the map with its own Unique introduction that will support the server. Airbus A380 anybody?

just started playing again after a long break and i never tried player made maps before, after trying a few i was hooked right away, so glad i found out about maps anyway after about 5 different maps all of which were great!
I found yours....and dam its good! ive only played for about 30 mins which is nothing lol but wow you did a really amazing job. I can't wait to dig deeper into this i see myself being hooked for days already lol anyway, if i ever convince any of my friends to play or meet anyone on here i will be damn sure to tell them about this EPIC adventure!
Thank you so much for this i really wanted to find a map like this you just made my gaming life wonderful.
Cheers!
Nice Job! :cool.gif:
sorry for the lengthy post lol
also ill be sure to update this post with some pics and stuff after i make some real progress.
I welcome all reviews! Good and the bad. All the information i can get to put improvements into the map =)
The map is simply amazing, but a suggestion, in the sand parts, turn some of the dirt under the sand to sand, it would be more realistic that way.
Ill work on it. The island was sculpted over a base foundation of dirt and rock. The majority of what you see however is hand placed including just about all the sand on the island. You make a good point and its something i plan to work on in the early updates as i found it was very easy to ruin the look of your tropical island. I suggest farming sand from a nearby island, or build a seafloor excavation sight. Come to think of it..... Sea Floor Sand Excavation... sounds like a new challenge =)
Thanks! I Hope you enjoy it. Sorry about the constant responses guys but being Australian, its hard to get myself some prime time front page views so im giving things a bump before i head to sleep.

help, I suppose. All I can find is the .rar link in MegaUpload and that won't work with my computer unless I pay $30 for the service. (which I have no intention of doing) Where's the .zip link? I honestly can't find it.
I would really like to play this map but I can't figure out how. Forgive the relative noobie?

If you enjoy it, id love to hear back from you in the thread. I'm on at weird times and don't get a chance to bump it up to the main page when most of the world are awake. So bumps are appreciated =)
