The Creeper Invasion
Current version: 1.01

Following the events of Eldmorang Alpha... yes, you in the back? What is it?

"I don't know what happened in Eldmorang Alpha."

Spoiler

You discover a strange bedrock building underneath your mining base on a distant planet--in doing so you alerted its inhabitants of your presence, at which point they promptly got on ships and decided to take over Earth.

In The Creeper Invasion, you continue where you left off, in a teleporter that sent you to Earth--but that was too good to be true, since the teleport actually waited several weeks to materialize you, plenty of time for these creatures (who you call Creepers because of a message they left you and sent on to earth) to destroy most of humanity. Only one city remains that is safe, but only for the time being...once you arrive there, your true adventure begins!

One of the easier dungeons:



Some mining equipment...



Spiderbot. Also, some ore.



Some of the more formidable Creeper enemies.



The Cave of the Void.



Oh noes! A ship got inside the city!


An old satellite dish, with some buildings in the background. I wonder what that line is...


Part of the Creepers' invasion force, waiting for the city's shield to fall.


The village where play begins.


An early redstone puzzle.

Rules:

Spoiler

1. Do not play on peaceful. The recommended difficulty is normal.

2. Don't place or remove blocks. There are certain block types you may remove with certain tools, or place and remove freely; the readme describes this in more detail.

3. You may not craft redstone torches, TNT, levers, buttons, pressure plates, sandstone, or flint and steel.

4. Anything else may be crafted, smelted, enchanted, or brewed. ANYTHING.

5. No flymods or inventory editors.

6. Sand is money. Sand left at the end of the map adds onto your score.

7. Bricks are the score.

8. You can look inside dispensers but may not take anything from them. You may however pick up items and arrows once they have been shot out by dispensers.

9. Use the included texture pack.

10. There's a bonus goal, to collect all the records. It's not required, but it will affect how you do in the third map, so write down what records you have.

Lets Play's

This map SHOULD work in SMP; there is no reason it shouldn't. I have a problem with my computer that forces me to play offline, though, so I can't really test it.

CAUTION! May contain actual funny humor, bad special effects, lack of realism, enchanted armor, and a building shaped like a tardis. Handle with care.

Version 1.1 updates the map for minecraft 1.2, but the zip also contains an old version for people using older minecraft versions.

DOWNLOAD

One last thing--if you put faith in my choices in music (which, if you have been following my channel, you probably don't)--you may want to listen to this while playing. Just a suggestion, it's not required in any way.

No, make that two last things. If you'd like to support the map, copy this into your signature.

Hahah looks really good!

I can't seem to get past the microchip part. No matter how I organize my redstone and redstone repeaters the 2nd piston won't allow the power to go through.

Tried putting a repeater in the middle yet? or maybe on the right you aren't powering the corner with a repeater?

Sure, but IS it any good?

I've put the repeater in the middle, and the pistons definitely DO go down.
I've got the one redstone inbetween the pistons to light up, with a repeater on the sandstone block right before it.
Still doesn't seem to be working. :l

P.S. Video is being rendered.

I meant a repeater in the middle underneath the pistons (well technically under the sandstone but you get what I mean).

As soon as the video is done processing.

Am I incorrect in saying that you've made another map that is chronogically before this one?

Anyway, downloaded - looks fun!

You are correct. Don't tell me the link isn't in the op? If not it's here.

[rsmalec]

Thanks for reminding me that this map is out of beta testing. I went back and double-checked my timing and score.

New score: 16 / 20!

[planetfall666]

I just realized some scary things.

Spoiler

--It takes place in the future
--Creepers kill everyone
--Only one city survives
--You fight creepers to gather technology

I might as well have called the teleporter "the rift."

On a more positive note, I finally had a chance to replay and do a video review on the full release.

I have increased the rating to 17/20!

What do you mean, on a more positive note? Are you referring to my post detailing all the ways I was unconsciously making a Minecraft version of Creeper World?
