Using just one command block and a redstone clock, I have managed to create top-down Minecraft! By entering this command: "/tp @a ~ ~ ~ ~ 90" into a command block and hooking it up to a redstone clock while in F5 mode, Minecraft becomes a top-down game! For a complete top-down gaming experience, set the second coordinate of the command to whatever the height (y-coordinate) you want your players to be stuck at is. For example, "/tp @a ~ 5 ~ ~ 90" will keep all players at a height of 5, almost completely unable to jump (They will manage to jump occasionally). Note: For some odd reason, this will not work if you use a comparator clock.

I have run into a slight problem. I was going to make a map using this, but I can't think of a way to allow the player to shoot at enemies while still in top-down mode. Any ideas?

How about... when holding a bow, the game detects it using /scoreboard, then disables the top-down feature, then have a /title saying: "Bow Mode"
After that, give them extreme slowness or just spawn an armorstand in their location and make then teleport to it to prevent moving.
Or, you know, develop a system that uses a carrot on a stick and when right clicked, it shoots an arrow.
Didn't think of the carrot on a stick idea! I could even make a texture pack to make it (mostly) invisible, so it looks like you're just firing projectiles from your hands! Thanks!

That carrot on a stick thing wasn't my idea, someone coded something an engine what is based around that, and it creates blue wool platforms with particles and stuff.
This was eerily convenient. IJAMinecraft made a gun system with one command block. Yes, it uses carrots on a stick. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dESreVGE
Thanks for this discussion guys! I was in the process of making a Nuclear Throne and a Enter The Gungeon map. I was resorting to just 3d when it hit me. "Top down minecraft?" I was looking at commands at then found this. Your discussion was helpful! Thanks!
