Welcome to Untold Stories. This is where I post my CTM maps. (Complete The Monument) The objective is to finish the Monument by placing different colored wools and other material blocks on it. You find these wool blocks scattered around the map. The material blocks are iron, gold and diamond blocks. You may craft these blocks for the monument, But you are not allowed to craft the wool blocks.

Are you new to my maps? Or just new to the CTM genre in general? Then you should play Corona Trials! It's one of the best works I have to offer and is also really enjoyable for CTM newcomers!

Do you want to make videos of a map of mine? Sure, I recommend it, but you must have a link to this thread. If people watched your videos and want to play it themselves, they can find it really fast.

Without further ado, Let's get on to the maps!

For MC 1.9 - 1.12:

Untold Stories 06 - Horrifeye - 1.2.1 For MC 1.14.4

A shattered realm now void of life and filled with an eerie shadow. All that is left are remnants of a long-forgotten world.
This map features an expansive dark sky world filled with grand areas and brutal design not for the faint-hearted.
furthermore, expect a difficulty that ramps up as natural-spawning monsters scale with the map progress.
Can you survive in this forlorn wasteland or will you perish together with what is left?

Untold Stories 05 - Calamity Canyon - 2.4 For MC 1.12.2

Untold Stories 04 - Corona Trials - 1.2.2 For MC 1.12 (recommended for newcomers to my maps!)

I've frequently gotten requests about an easier map, so here we go! This map is based around fire with a difficulty that builds up. It starts off at a manageable level suitable for newcomers to the CTM (Complete The Monument) genre, but will get quite tricky over time.

Untold Stories 03 - Myriad Caves - 1.2.1 for MC 1.10

Myriad Caves, an extensive network of caves providing plenty to explore. This map is experimental in two ways.
Firstly, the map layout is an open-world cave layout. So areas may have an abounding amount of pathways to other areas. Secondly, the map uses a different food/health system than a normal MC world. Instead of getting food points back you get health back directly when you eat a piece of food. This in combination with the challenging areas will provide you with a challenging yet rewarding experience. How far will you make it?

For MC 1.8:

Untold Stories 01 - Goliath - 1.1 for MC1.8

From forests to deserts. Go diving in the deepest oceans or go spelunking in the darkest caves. This map is an environment based map. It is extremely vast so that explains its name. It starts off relatively easy, but it gets harder and harder over time. But be wary, the map has a fair amount of traps

This map is a really rough map and not my best quality work. I recommend you Try some of my MC1.9+ maps.

Minimaps:
Untold Stories Mini 03 - The Sower - 2.1 For MC 1.13.2

This is my first (mini) map for 1.13. The map experiments a bit with the core mechanics by introducing a new hostile mob spawning
system and and a spammable sword system. Feel free to leave feedback on how they play as I might use them again in a future map.

The map was originally made for the 21st Strawberry Jam, but I ran into time constraints, so I finished it as a standalone project.

In a world roses have withered and gloom filled the sky your objective is to find all flowers in the dark depths.
Retrieve all flowers to reap the victory. You start in a barren wasteland filled with old barrows.
As you explore these desolate ruins you will discover there is more than just old crypts below.

Greetings people of the internet! I would like to announce my new map Untold Stories 5: Calamity Canyon! It will be out on 2 Feb 2018 as an open-world map containing 12 objectives with a difficulty that ramps up. The main focus of the map lies more on exploration and survival in a hostile environment while utilizing new fancy features like advancements! Hope you are excited!

I would like to make an announcement! Yesterday the 6th of December my maps turned 3 years old!

To celebrate this I am announcing my next map: Untold Stories 5 Calamity Canyon!
I originally had a different map planned for spot 5, but I have been working on a smaller map as I don't want to just wait for 1.13 while doing nothing. So the original Untold Stories 5 will be moved to Untold Stories 6. Calamity Canyon is almost done as I only need to finish the final dungeon and then test it a bit for fine tuning. Its an open-world map with a scarcity of resources, so it kinda plays more like a hard survival map than other of my maps do.

QUESTIONS FOR YOU!:

-Which area took the longest to complete?

-Which area are you the most proud of?

-Which area do you wish you did a better job on?

-What map in your collection would be a good follow up?

-When will I get my tacos and corndogs?

Quote from Mancu32»

What map is the ultimate you created?

The function of the records isn't just doing damage. For instance, one is a spammable knockback weapon, another one is good for getting extra drops with fortune and looting. You can also switch them from mainhand to offhand pretty quickly as well as they are spammable. So if you know an enemy is almost dead you can switch to a looting disc and kill it with it.

Untold Stories #4 Corona Trials will go into an open-beta state this Wednesday (the first of February). When you play the map feel free to leave your thoughts here!

Brian (Lorgon111) and I have recorded some commentary about Myriad(My-raid) Caves. Are you curious about some of the thoughts that went into making a map like this? Then I definitely recommend taking a look at this (rest of it is expected to air daily):

September 25, 2021: Minecraft lost it's soul somewhere between 1.7.10 and 1.8. Took me until 1.9 to realize it. Sorry for the VFIII tease, just ain't happening. Thanks to everyone who played these maps and helped support their creation. I've removed the downloads as of today, if you still have them feel free to redistribute. I've also removed the terms and conditions section so go ham. Catch ya on the flipside ✌😎



Vinyl Fantasy is a Complete The Monument style custom map series where the objective is to find hidden records (music discs) and return them to a JukeBox Monument. These maps remain true to Minecraft's survival mechanics while adding a high level of difficulty, a list of objectives and an ultimate goal for the player. Expect harsh terrain, dangerous architecture and down right nasty dungeons full of unruly mobs to combat.

• Survive in any way you can think of.
• Find and complete the JukeBox Monument.
• Find records (music discs) hidden around the map.
• Do not build Nether Portals.
• Do not use records dropped by Creepers to complete the JukeBox Monument.
• Always play on Easy difficulty or higher. No peaceful.
• Do not craft, break or place Ender Chests.
• Do not use mods, commands, plug-ins or 3rd party apps that give you an unfair advantage.

• Do not leave the boundaries of the map and enter normally generated Minecraft terrain.
• Do not break the jukebox or wool blocks in the JukeBox Monument.

VINYL FANTASY I: for MC v1.1

For MC v1.1

About:
Map version: v1.1.2
Minecraft Version Compatibility: v1.1
Players: SSP / SMP
Map Style: Open-World
Objectives: 11 records (music discs) and 6 ore blocks

Vinyl Fantasy is my first excursion in CTM level design. It's kind of a cornucopia of different styled areas ranging from dark to beautiful to kind of wacky. The starting area plays like a harsh survival island. From there the player can branch out in various directions, encountering all kinds of nasty along the way.

Map Specific Rules:
Do not use SMP spawn hole to get to the warp zone.
Do not to use the water in the ceiling spawn as a resource in-game.

VINYL FANTASY II: For MC v1.2.5

For MC v1.2.5

About:
Map Version: v1.1.0
Minecraft version Compatibility: v1.2.5
Players: SSP / SMP
Map Style: Open-World / Central-Branching hybrid
Objectives: 11 records (music discs)

Vinyl Fantasy II is somewhat of an experimental CTM map. The player will experience both open-world and central-branching level progression spanning all three Minecraft dimensions along with custom lore piecing together a storyline. The overworld of this map is divided into three main areas consisting of huge, open-world style design. Each overworld area contains resources, challenges and a dungeon area containing a record (music disk.) The rest of the map takes place in other dimensions where the progression is a traditional central-branching style with more condensed dungeon areas.

Map Specific Rules:
Installing Last_Username's Lights Out mod to fix phantom skylight errors present in MC v1.2.5 is highly recommended.

VF-Mini: Industrial Park: For MC v1.5.2 - v1.6.4

For MC v1.5.2 - v1.6.4

About:
Map Version: v1.1.1
Minecraft Version Compatibility: v1.5.2 - v1.6.4
Players: SSP
Map Style: Central-Branching
Objectives: 3 records

This is the first mini-map in the VINYL FANTASY series. It's really difficult. Did I mention I've been feeling nostalgic for a little Super Meat Boy lately? Yeah, this one is a survival / action / platformer that will make you rage! It's not just a run and gun platformer though, you'll need to keep your wits about you. Survival isn't easy and this map proves it. You'll need to make use of tools and resources you never thought possible. Be aware of your environment and always take advantage of anything you can to survive. A true test of agility, combat skills and problem solving.

VF-Mini: Eventide Trance: For MC v1.8 - v1.8.8

For MC v1.8 - v1.8.8

About:
Map Version: 1.0.2
Minecraft Version Compatibility: v1.8.8
Players: SSP / SMP
Map Style: Open-World
Objectives: 3 records

Eventide Trance is a unique blend of Ultra-Hardcore and Complete the Monument genres. The map offers character progression, vanilla gear progression and a customized loot drop and trading system. You must survive an open-world where you'll be able to attack strange obelisks full of enemies in order to gain permanent health upgrades. When you feel strong enough, there are 3 Trance dungeons containing the music discs needed to complete the jukebox monument. Good luck!

Corona Trials is the best CTM map I've ever played. Really amazing. RenderXR is amazing - as good as Vechs!

Hello, so I´ve recently played Corona Trials and after that the Calamity Canyon. Here is my experience:

Corona Trials:
Subjective difficulty: 3/5 -> 2/5
Died just 2 times, basically always due to my stupidity (lesson learned: never dig straight down even if you think you know what is below you)

Feedback:

• Absolutely loved the aesthetics of all the zones (maybe except gemlight bog, this one was just too generic and dark for me)
• Loved the way you implemented enchanting (getting few bookshelves at a time and limited amount of lapis)
• What I would improve in the future is limiting the access to magma cream (or fire potion in general). With it I was basically able to steamroll through many of the end game zones by completely ignoring blazes.
• I absolutely hated vexes in the final zones as they were annoying more than challenging. However more on that later.
• Very much enjoyed the mineral mobs. They brought in a nice change from all the other mobs. Would definitely do more custom mobs in the future.
• What I would also love to see is more custom items. I loved the shield and the legendary set but was expecting a bit more. For instance you can make the final zones even harder if you buff player by giving him +HP on the gear and it feels more rewarding for the player to see the progression not only in armor points but also in HP value.
• Since I am completionist I had to find all the emeralds. I have to be honest some in the large zones like aurora valley were just too difficult for any sane person to find Would loved some hints hidden or something to help players (just like in Calamity Canyon)
• Plus points for implementing teleportation between intersections and some other zones as it removed the tedious aspect of running forever.

Overall extremely fun and amazing-looking map. 4.5 / 5 points

Calamity Canyon:
Subjective difficulty: 3/5
Died 6 times, 5 were surprise "allahu akb".. I mean creepers. The sixth one was being blow by a trap I knew about but still triggered it with hopes of outrunning it...

Feedback:

• Again, loved the aesthetics. This time the map felt very cohesive as opposed to Corona Trials. This is a good thing in shorter to medium maps (just like this one) but if it were to be larger it would grow repetitive soon.
• Very much enjoyed custom "infernizers". They brought a nice change into playing maps since you could use creepers to your own advantage. However...
• Zombies had absolutely ridiculous "reinforcement" rating. Meaning that whenever you hit a zombie it was almost guaranteed to spawn another zombies. As a result infernizer was basically useless for me once I got at least iron sword since if you hit a zombie with it you basically spawned 5-10 other zombies. This was more of an annoyance rather than a difficult aspect of the game and it quite often caused me to just completely ignore zombies instead of fighting them. If you want to make zombies harder I strongly recommend giving them slight speed boost. You would be surprised how much more difficult they are when faster.
• Love the way you do traps. If the player is careful enough and fast to react he can outrun the trap.. if not, his bad.
• Also love how you changed evokers to summon zombies instead of vexes. In future maps you can even use phantoms instead of zombies (but that might cause problems inside buildings)
• I really missed some good items in the final zone. It was both massive and gorgeous place with a lot of dangerous things. People expect a great reward when fighting such a place but basically the only valuable things I found there were the wools (I had fully enchanted diamond gear from the previous zone). For instance in Corona Trials in the last zone, there was a legendary armor that was better than what you could get by enchanting.
• In this map it was much more enjoyable to look for emeralds as it meant exploring which usually led to finding some other goods. Also the fact that there were more than 9 emeralds helps a lot as you don't have to tediously search for every single one of them. Also loved the little help after finding the last wool.

Again very well made and thought out map. 4.5 / 5 points again. :-)
Just a quick question: I was able to complete all advancements (ghast one was fun) except for brewing speed potion 2. How could one find the glowstone dust? I tried to farm witch spawner and even naturally spawned witches for about an hour to no avail. Did I miss a glowstone block somewhere?


Overall thank you so much for making these maps. I am really looking forward to play your next map. In the meantime: Myriad Caves, here I come!

Just managed to finish The Sower jut in time for Christmas, after getting a couple of hours every other night for the last month. Between the two of us, we accumulated 355 deaths, and had great laughs along the way. Pretty solid map in my opinion, balancing seemed pretty good, it was only once we got to the final flower room things really went pair-shaped. Much kamikaze creeper-hugging ensued!

The modified natural spawns was interesting - my guess is that it helped keep the number of skeletons down in the first area(s) until we could afford shields? It certainly felt like it helped the progression in the beginning anyway, and supplied many insults! My only real criticism was the location of the blue orchid - I'd seen the entrance previously and was hoping for a full themed area, but equally didn't approach it until near the end, as I expected it to be one of the later areas. As such, I was a tad disappointed by the succinctness, though I should've guessed this would be the case by the flower order. Anyway, thanks for another amazing map and a Merry Christmas

I recently started Untold Stories: Corona Trials 4 and I've got to say, I really LOVE this map.

Your shortcuts are simply out of this world awesome!

The level design is great and the difficulty ramping is superb.

10/10

Yeah, I'm also wondering how game breaking 1.13 would be on Calamity Canyon? I like the ease of running a Realm server so if possible I'd like to play the map there. Any insights on how bad things might be if we it on 1.13?

Hey renderXR! A group of friends and I just beat Corona Trials tonight as part of a weekly event over 13 weeks, and we were blown away by how amazing the map was. The entire thing was incredibly well done; thank you so much for making it!

When Minecraft updated to 1.13, Realms kicked the Untold Stories maps out (along with everything else) because I guess things work differently in 1.13. We were halfway through Corona Trials, so we had to move from Realms to a server on my own computer running 1.12, and it made the game extremely laggy and hard to play, especially when a lot of monsters spawned. We really want to play the other maps too, but it would be way better for us if I could upload it back to Realms and play it that way. Question: Do you have a way to make a v1.13 version of your maps that I could upload to Realms, or do you know if Realms will be able to bring Untold Stories back?

Thank you so much!! Looking forward to playing Calamity Canyon next!

Just finished Calamity Canyon and I am thoroughly impressed!

The map was difficult yet not frustrating, which is a balance I had yet to experience in CTM maps and getting rid of the hunger system really benefits the map type.

Keep up the good work, this has me considering making CTM maps of my own!

Just finished the map. and first thing first. This map was amazingly well done! it felt pretty balanced. It rewards exploring and i really like how skeletons don't spawn naturally. Another thing i like is how evokers don't spawn vex but instead spawn zombies. (finally wont get 2 shot through walls/floors even with protection 4 diamond armor, like in other CTM maps)

I died a total of 12 times, mostly from creepers while i had my shield up long enough. (Thanks Mojang) some traps weren't that hard to spot, but the harder to spot ones gave you at least enough time to run away or block. i really liked this and made me feel like anything could be a trap.

I didn't really fellow the dungeon order, which is fine in a map like this one. i did area 4 before area 3 because i spotted the overlapping parts of the dungeon 2/4. i died a bunch of times in area 4, but had no deaths and stomped area 3 because of this. i also skipped area 7 and did area 8 first because i couldn't find it. Also the Lapis is really hard to find. i only found it because i searched it up. and when i found out where is was i face palmed because i have been literally there a couple of times when trying to spot for any loot. Also i liked how there are 10 emeralds in this map, just in case you lost one.

I liked the sense of having to build multiple "outposts" to prevent having to run back to the monument each time. (area 5/6*) and i like the frequent amount of shortcuts.

There is a only 1 thing i disliked about this map: i wish there we more wools / area's because this map was so much fun to play! (and i dislike how to there was a certain chest hidden with certain supplies at the monument)
