[Darkelement19]

I will try this with my friend

[11icecube11]

Mabey you could add a mob spawner in the shop for 20 - 30 levels

This is a good idea, the problem is that a mob spawner will only spawn pigs when placed directly form your inventory.

[11icecube11]

if placed in dark/ no grass it shouldent spawn pig + even if it does still spawn pigs make it a higher amount of levels .

I just had a bat spawn in the shop is that suppost to happen?

I think the bat flew into the nether portal during night, decided not to kill it

[superandy989]

downloading now

although I suggest you turn it from a RAR into a zip file. Some people can't extract RAR files. ( I can, but being considerate for others)

EDIT: Tried it, good map. I especially like the "Ultra Rod 5000"

I thought you place spawners for bats for a min lol

[superandy989]

If you want to make to cocoa beans of use can you please add jungle wood to the shop?

I could, but the cocoa beans were actually meant for coloring your sheep

[Florisssss]

Yes, but you can also combine them with wheat to make cookies.
But I think they should make there growing time bigger because you get far to much of them (or maybe add another recipe for it e.g chocolate cake)

But back to the point nice map + good idea

[Gamerzwin]

Pictures would be nice!

The two pictures i put up should be enogh to get a clear idea of what the map looks like
If not, watch the video.

[11icecube11]

Could you make it so you can sell aswell?

[Nerdgazm]

Cool

I tried doing this, but it is impossible. There is a way to clear items from a players inventory but you cant check the amount and how much it has to take away. I will update the map as soon as there is a posibility to do this
