I think there might have been a bug generated from some McEdit work, and some of the chests are now empty. I will go through again and refill empty chests. There isn't a way to put the ice rod in the game. I may put it in later as an easter egg, but it served no functionality towards the map so i left it out for now. Same with the chris houlihan room. There may be a way to do it now that there are better mechanics to support it, but it would be a throwback more than anything.

Puzzle #8 "Jump":

Warning to all players who don't have hundredth of a second reflexes: you'll never get past that level.

At the very least, make sure you have top of the line hardware (CPU + graphic card) to even try that level. Because Minecraft is definitely NOT a high-FPS quick-player-input-response-time environment, even with all video options set to minimum, this means it is essentially very bad for jumping games.

Please redo that level so that the difficulty of that level is not in the dexterity required for the jumps themselves but in the actual CHOICE and order of the jumps. Many jumps in that level require sprinting, diagonal jumps, and require nearly perfect reflexes and timing. etc. I strongly suggest making ALL jumps straight and simple, covering only 1 block gaps, heck most of the platforms to jump onto should be 2 blocks deep so that the risk of "overshooting by mistake" exists only in a couple places, not on each jump!

Even THEN such a level would still pose quite the jumping challenge *because Minecraft isn't a good game at all for jumping stuff unless you own badass hardware*. But at least, that way the difficulty would mainly lie in the puzzle aspect, not in the jumps! Especially considering that we have to succeed at about all 20-or-so of those insane jumps before reaching the top, without any way to "save" our progress midway, too.

I simply gave up after about an hour of frustration.

Since there is no way to skip a puzzle, this level which is essentially 99% insane-dexterity is effectively impossible for me, and that essentially breaks the entire rest of the map for me and for all players who are better at quick-thinking than quick-clicking.

Also, the in-game hint for that level is really but really really really useless. It tells to jump on the retracting block and another block would appear under it, while in fact the hint should be from above and not from sideways, and tell to jump on the block which protrudes, not the block which retracts, DUH. For a map that is otherwise pure genius design and originality, forcing the player to make so many jump-sprints, so many well timed and very precise jumps, on so many jumps, instead of a lot of very easy jumps with slightly more challenging jumps only in a couple places, that's a pretty stupid level design decision for a *puzzle* map.

For, is this really a puzzle map, where all levels are puzzles, or a puzzle map whicj mysteriously takes a Twilight Zone detour into platformer / parkour map territory for some of it's levels? Because if that is the case, then the dowmload page should have told so: "high intelligence AND dexterity required!" before sucking me in with 7 pure puzzle levels and then suddenly throwing me a game-breaking train-wrecking hammer like that.

I suggest you think about it, hard, because quite frankly this map generated *tons* of frustration for me, scores more than any "fun value" it otherwise had. I thought this was a puzzle map, not a test of my reflexes! I *already know* that my reflexes are bad, that is exactly why i play *puzzle* stuff, and never *dexterity* studff! That is why I play Minecraft, instead say Left 4 Dead. That is why I think your puzzle map is ruined by putting dexterity-based "so called" puzzles in it.

Such a hard-dexterity level has NO PLACE in an otherwise intelligent puzzle map.
