Update 10/03/14: The map has been updated to 1.8 Snapshots
Update : General 1.8 updates and extra info to enable comprehension
ENDER VIRUS
INTRODUCTION
If you've ever dreamed of being a nanometre-sized, nonliving entity that infects, destroys, and spreads fear this map is for you! In Ender Virus YOU are the virus. Have the chance to enter a cell - admire its organelles and inner workings - before getting down to business, creating your progeny and escaping. Duke it out with the immune response and the abundance of medication while figuring out the puzzling cell machinery - what fun!
Please note! This is my first map and I made it by myself. I tried to design it to be somewhat challenging - a little frustration never hurt anyone... Please leave constructive feedback and report any bugs so I can fix and improve it as well as learn for next time.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Mainly an adventure map
Easy parkour
Puzzles (some may be bypassed)
1-2 players ideal, can fit more with obvious trade-offs (less armor, more brainpower...)
50min -2.0ish hours
TRAILER
SCREENSHOTS
UPDATES
Please report any bugs!
Please tell me if you were totally confused anywhere.
IMPORTANT!
Clouds off
Command blocks MUST be enabled (server settings: enable-command-block=true)
Standard adventure map rules; details and changes are outlined in book at spawn
No mods required. I recommend playing without any.
Keep to lit/obvious gameplay areas as I did not block off all areas of the map. I wanted to keep the cell as natural-looking as possible.
If you get stuck, review your inventory and look for patterns when placing items
Anyone can record this map! Please link either this thread, my Youtube channel or the official trailer in your description (or all three!).

Please tweet me to let me know how it went for you! @Cytokind
Please message me via the forums or by Youtube personal messages (I check this more frequently) if you have any further questions.
Also, please let me know if I have forgotten anything as this is the first time I'm posting a map.
Huge thank you to among_many from reddit for providing amazing feedback and ideas for improvements AND doing the 1.8 update!
My friends and I decided to try out the map, seems pretty legit. We had a lot of fun. I will say there are some drawbacks and places where there is essentially no explanation of what to do, but overall, the experience was a good one. I would recommend it. However, at times it seems a bit technical and younger Minecrafters may not understand much of it, especially if they haven't had a basic biology class. Still, I say keep up the good work. Thanks!

There are two kinds of people: those without signatures and those who have nothing better to do than type one out. Yep.

Thank you so much for playing it, I'm glad it went well for you! And thank you for taking the time to give your feedback, it really helps me out. Most of the feedback I've been getting has been the lack of explanation so I'm definitely planning on adding some in for the 1.6 update. I have trouble thinking of the best way to phrase some things without completely giving away what to do so I'll have to spend some time thinking about that for sure. And yeah, the map is definitely specialized in terms of knowledge which makes it difficult to explain to younger players without losing the charm of the subject matter. I'm currently brainstorming ways I could make it easier to understand without taking out the technical terms and having a million signs haha. But again, I'm glad you liked it and your feedback was really helpful to getting me thinking about some changes!
That's awesome dude!
Thank you
Edit: This map is fiendishly hard.
Hehehe this was intended. But let me know if you get annoyingly stuck anywhere
Ooh! I love puzzle maps, I'll definitely have to try this one.
Hurrah! Thank you, let me know how it goes
Will be playing a Lets Play! Heres my youtube! Check my page around 2-3 days, it shall be up and I will be including the thread for Desc..
Awesome, I can't wait to see it! I'll definitely look out for it then.
I will play this map someday
Hehe I hope so
This map actually has fairly nice aesthetics. Can't comment on the rest of it, though; I haven't played it.
Thanks, I really appreciate this! I tried to create my best interpretation of a cell as I could. The building took the most time by far as the cell is quite large and I wasn't used to using MCedit at first, so most things were done in creative.
Sounds like a cool map, I might be doing a lets play on it. If I do I will post the video here.
Thank you, I really hope you do! I'll be releasing a version with more hints on July 1st with the 1.6 update if you'd want to play that one instead, as many people have noted that certain areas are very difficult to figure out as is.
Hey, my friend and I played your map, it was really fun. I think we may have broken every rule, but who doesn't break all the rules when they play a custom map >.<
Just finished uploading the first Episode of my perspective for our playthrough of Ender Virus! We quickly learn that we apparently aren't as adept at teh Engrish as we thought.
Thank you guys so much for playing and recording it, I love both your videos! They gave me a good chuckle Putting both in the thread topic. I see you played the first version I put out so I'm sorry for the bugs! And the lack of instruction at the start, but I'm assuming you got through it eventually =)
Woohoo! Thank you for recording, I really enjoyed your video hehehe I'll add it to the thread. I think a lot of people have had the same trouble so I've updated the map with some extra info. Kudos for playing the hard version though I hope you don't have too much trouble later on!

your welcome! and I still have no idea where to go
Your welcome! and I[size=medium] your welcome! and I still have no idea where to go
Oh gosh haha I was going to tell you but I forgot! Since you didn't get too far, I HIGHLY recommend downloading and playing the updated map because it has extra hints at the start and later on where it gets pretty difficult. BUT if you would rather not, there is a piece of yellow wool in the bowl-shaped receptor that looks like it can have a lever placed on it
