The Walls is a PvP survival map that takes back Minecraft to it's roots: crafting, surviving and creativity. The map is separated by giant sand walls, players start each on their own platforms and when the timer reach 00:00, the walls falls and the player can kill each others. The last man standing wins the game.
You can craft armors, build traps, canons, fortress and much more... just like minecraft, the world is yours. Hidden treasures will give you an edge with unobtainable items on this limited world. However there are some rules!
The Rules (Player)
Wait for host to give you a "cell" before the game starts. This is your starting position.
Once the cell pushes you up, you can free to go and prepare yourself before the walls goes down.
DO NOT break any sand blocks.
DO NOT leave your zone delimited by bedrocks.
DO NOT build over the sand walls height.
You can create alliances, however only one player can win. Treasons are encouraged.
Use your skills, intelligence and creativity to kill other players.
The Rules (Host)
Place the players in their cells or "tubes" on the corners of the map.
To start the game, press start when everyone is ready. You cannot reset! So make sure everyone is ready.
Make sure to have a player assigned to the Zone close to the clock with 2 wires.
Make sure your server have view Distance to 15.
Make sure you have monsters OFF.
If you want to play with the players, you have about 15 seconds to reach your cell and put back your gamemode 0.
If you want the game to do on longer, you can give each players a bed and the goal would be to destroy your enemies's beds.
If this map gets enough views/download, we will find a modder to write a plugin to help hosts manage their games. Please support this map by sharing it with your friends!
The map is available in 15, 30 and 50 minutes versions.

Also important, people are reporting lag caused by redstone, updating your java client or using the 64 bit version will reduce, even remove any lag.
Minecraft 1.3 fixes this, so until then you might get some lag, sorry for the inconvenience we couldn't reproduce this lag with 64 bit clients.
Added 2 cells per zones, for a total of 3 per zones.
Cells stays up for the whole game, no more getting stuck in a cell!
Added 20 minutes version.
Added 30 minutes version.
Killed a chicken.
Added 2 pig eggs in the starting chest.
Patch #2
Removed pig eggs.
Removed random items floating around.
Added 25 seeds in starting chest.
Removed 20 minutes version.
Added 50 minutes version.
Changed the redstone mechanism to reduce the client-side lag.
No animals were harmed.
Somehow people are still having lag, however it seems to be related to redstone and using the 64bit java we couldn't reproduce the lag.
1.3 fix it by updating their java libraries, so we can wait or make a "light" version with no clocks.
I can't find any dammit ;-;
Also, you should absolutely add more chests with building materials and redstone related items! I wanna be able to build great traps and killing machines! And it's also really hard to find any chests.
I am definitely using this on my server once it gets back up. Seems like such an awesome thing to do in-game. I plan on making a slight adjustment though by putting some extra things in the start chests. Probably a bed for a more interesting challenge as suggested. And also maybe a cake. Should keep starvation away for a bit.
Also, I still would like to keep monsters on my server. But I need them off for this. Is there a plugin that can disable monsters but still allow PvP in a certain zone? From what I know I can only have them both on or both off in a certain area using plugins.

This is a signature. There should be something here....

By default the option should be there, you wont even need bukkit. Go to server.properties and you can disable monsters there

Working on automated servers for the Walls.
Also, many versions of this map will be available after 1.3, I write down all suggestions until then!
