Christmas Island was once the heart and soul of Christmas, but due to the monster infestation only remnants of its past remain. Can you restore Christmas Island to its former glory?
Christmas Island is primarily a survival map with many Christmas related goals. It is much larger than maps like Survival Island, and this allows for there to be many more secrets and places to explore. There are no set rules, but some suggestions would be- Always play on at least easy, and don't' leave the island.
Some of the main attractions on Christmas Island are-
-The Christmas Cows
-The Chritmas Tree
-Many, many caves
-And much more that I don't want to spoil for you.
Goals
1. Decorate the Christmas Tree
-Place at least 3 Iron Blocks, 2 Lapiz Lazul Blocks, 2 Gold Blocks, and 1 Diamond Block.
--(Optional)- Add Glowstone lights and a Glowstone star to the top of the tree.
2. Prepare a Christmas Feast
-Make some Mushroom Stew, Watermelon, Your Choice of Meat, Bread, and a Cake.
--(Optional)- Make a giant table to place the food on.
3. Make some Milk and Cookies for Santa
-Milk a cow, and find some cookies in a chest on the map.
--(Optional)- Set them in front of a fireplace for Santa.
4. Build a Snowman Army
-Make at least 10 Snowmen.
--(Optional)- Use your snowmen to bring back snow to Christmas Island.
5. Build a Brick Cottage
-Smelt clay into bricks and build a house out of them.
--(Optional)- Make it two stories tall.
6. Build a Christmas Sheep Farm
-Fence off an area to breed sheep. Then dye at least 10 sheep green or red.
--(Optional)- Build something awesome out of the red and green wool from the sheep.
7. Play Some Music
-Find or craft a jukebox, and play a record that you either found or got from a creeper.
--(Optional)- Find the 2 chests containing records and the one chest that has the jukebox.
8. Find the Creeper Fortress
-Find the underground Creeper Fortress.
--(Optional)- Defeat the Creeper Fortress and claim your reward.
9. Find the Room of Christmas Magic.
-Find it.
--(Optional)- Build something out of the supplies in the chest located in that room.
BONUS. Post a picture of anything on your world to this forum.
Merry Christmas!

Looks amazing ill try it out :biggrin.gif: Any rules ?
Nice catch. I just updated the original post. There are no set rules because its your map and you can do whatever you want with it, but some suggestions would be- Play on at least easy, and don't leave the island.
Haha, sounds like you like it. I have never made a server, and it doesn't sound like something I'd really want to do. But if someone else makes a server, I'll gladly join and play with you guys.
This is FANTASTIC! I love Survival maps more than anything, and I've also been looking for something Christmasy to get me in the holiday spirit, this is perfect.
How's the map going guys? What are your thoughts, ideas, or complaints? Feel free to post them in this forum, I would love to see how your journey is going. How many of the goals have you completed? Suggestions or critiques are also entirely welcomed, I always am trying to improve upon my maps. Merry Christmas!

Thanks! Glad to see that you like it. Keep me updated on how your adventures go!
to you good sir. I'll try to come over as soon as I can, but sadly I'm probably going to be busy until after Christmas. What time are you usually on your server?
I just wanted to say that Christmas Island is at 92 downloads, which I find amazing for only two days. Many thanks to all who have downloaded, and hopefully it can reach 100 on Christmas day.
Also, I just wanted to point out that there is a huge difference between the large amount of views/downloads and the miniscule amount of comments. I know I have said this a lot already, but if you are playing the map, I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. Your comments are what keep me making maps. Thanks again for everything, and a merry Christmas to all!
Initial thoughts: these seems like some simple rules except for the two story brick house.
After two minutes of searching for secrets: holy cow... a beach made of only clay...
Searching for hidden areas: that is a lot of red and green wool.
Final thought: this is an excellent map and now I don't have enough coal to run my furnaces for that many bricks.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks again to everyone that has donwloaded! In my previous post I had said that I wanted to reach 100 downloads on Christmas day, and the map ended up reaching 150!

Haha, glad you like it! And don't forget about one of the most overlooked aspects of minecraft- Charcoal! I'm also really interested to see what your brick house (or mansion) is going to look like. Make sure you post a picture on the forum!
It looks like the downloading has halted now that Christmas is over, but just because Christmas is over doesn't mean that you can't play a Christmas map! But if you don't believe in doing anything Christmas related after the season has passed I have a brand new map for you.
My new map "Flipped Survival" is a survival map that takes place on a completely upside-down minecraft world. It is a much harder challenge than Christmas Island so be prepared. Here is a link to that thread- http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/900501-surv-flipped-survival/
Also, I just wanted to say that Christmas Island has just reached 175 downloads. Can it make it to 200?
I suggest to anyone who wants to get into the Christmas Mood to gather a few friends and play this map because it is one of the funnest survival maps I have ever played, and I have been playing Minecraft since Alpha!

How did you find this map!? I'm ecstatic that my one year old map is getting noticed, but that is just crazy that it is still being played!

Are you talking about one of the signs on my maps??
Edit: I think I found what your talking about, haha. I'll fix that if I ever release an update for this map.
