This map displays a variety of redstone devices including dream state, furnace contraptions, till switches and more! I've been working on this map for a while and I thought the redstone community would be a little more interested in it.

:Original Post:
Intro:
I've been working on this map the past while and I wanted to get some feedback, hopefully positive. In this map you are trapped in a large industrial redstone puzzle being controlled by the AI "Herobrine". Much like Portal Herobrine is testing subjects and gathering data. Each subject is cataloged and monitored. Herobrine studies their emotions and tests his subject's reactions by putting them up against different obstacles and mind bending challenges.

Hint: NEVER WASTE ANYTHING! EVERYTHING IS USED!

Story:
You, Steve, remember everything from before you were abducted. You had a family of 4, a wife, a son, and a daughter. You lived in a large wooden mansion on an island in the middle of the ocean. One day a large shape descended from above the clouds and started dropping TNT upon your mansion. You and your son, Tom, ran, you ran to the old coal mine long unused as blaze rods were now used as fuel. There you took shelter hoping that your wife, Irene, and your daughter, Crystal were okay. After several hours you and Tom decided to take a look outside. After your first step you realized it was a mistake. 2 tall creatures at least 3 meters tall were blocking your door. They had long black limbs and a large open maw. They seized you and Tom and you awoke here:




Rules:
1: Play on peaceful
2: Once you find the proper use for an item you cannot pick it back up (for example you can't use a lever to open an iron door then pick back up the lever and continue)
3: Blocks that are meant to be broken are marked with an X. Sometimes it will have a requirement, such as needing a stone pick.
4: Any block that is meant to be placed is implied.
5: Crafting is allowed.
6: Only use Flint and Steal when told to. (Really)
7: Only place solid blocks such as snow, planks, and pumpkins when told to. You can still place levers and redstone dust as they are not solid.

Instructions:

Spoiler

Step 1:

Spoiler

Cook the log with the sapling and take the log back out.

Step 2:

Spoiler

Go through the passage and to the next room. Here take the cobble and craft a lever. Place the lever directly in front of the door you entered through. A panel will open up behind that door. Push the button and exit.

Step 3:

Spoiler

After searching the room destroy the glass marked with an X. Use one of your sticks to cook the fish. It will not finish. Take the raw fish.

Step 4:

Spoiler

A crafting table will have appeared. Now craft yourself a hoe using your remaining wood.

Step 5:

Spoiler

Use the hoe on the dirt block. This will cause a block of iron to come out of the ground by the glass room for a short period of time. If you sprint it will boost you to the roof of the glass area.

Step 6:

Spoiler

Do the parkour and deposit your raw fish in the gold hole.

Step 7:

Spoiler

in the corner of the map to the left of the glass room a block of dirt will have appeared. By tilling it a block of iron will extend permanently up by the fish hole. Use your hoe on the first block of dirt and use the new iron block to get across.

Step 8:

Spoiler

Jump into the cobweb and while stuck open the chest and remove the minecart. Place the minecart on the detector rail below.

Step 9:

Spoiler

Without bumping the minecart open the chest that is now revealed. Use the crafting table to make 4 arrows.

Step 10:

Spoiler

Go back to the parkour and go to the opening that tells you to destroy the minecart. Open both fence gates and destroy shoot the minecart.

Step 11:

Spoiler

Take the redstone dust and place it adjacent to the iron door by the cart switch.

Step 12:

Spoiler

Take the stone pick and destroy the diamond ore that leads back to the starting room. (Yes, destroying diamond with a stone pick will take a while)

Step 13:

Spoiler

If it is night sleep. If not wait or set it to night if possible. You should immediately wake up in a dream state.

Step 14:

Spoiler

Go to the glass floor in the center of the room. You should now be able to walk through the glass barrier. Jump across and sleep.

Step 15:

Spoiler

Jump down and take the 4 snowballs and 1 pumpkin. Use them to complete the snow man in the corner of the map.

Step 16:

Spoiler

The snowman will cause a piston arm to extend. Use this and jump up to the flint and steal.

Step 17:

Spoiler

Use the flint and steal to burn the wool marked BURN. Then jump to the dispenser and take the eye of ender.

Step 18:

Spoiler

Place the eye in the receptacle on the wall of the map. Now use your remaining three arrows to shoot the three minecarts

Step 19:

Spoiler

Follow the ladder up and deposit your pick and bow when asked.

Step 20:

Spoiler

Use your flint and steel to burn through the wool and till the dirt.

Step 21:

Spoiler

Make the jump then either: Jump around the pillar or cheat and burn through the wool on the wall.

Step 22:

Spoiler

Then you have two options. Follow Herobrine's instructions and commit suicide in the "exit room" or jump down into the wiring.

Step 23:

Spoiler

Follow the path until you get to the data room. Once there right click the redstone on the wall.
an enter the boss room.

Step 24:

Spoiler

Jump up the TNT platforms and throw an item on it's head.

Step 25:

Spoiler

You should now be dead. If not jump off a cliff. You should respawn in the bed by the dream state jump. Just follow the new path and read the end message.

Hopefully all bugs are fixed. If you find one please report it. The download should be good. I realize that their were some glitches. If you had some problems earlier please redownload and try again.

Please post your comments so others can see the map.

Sorry to say this map is not compatible with smp.
:End Original Post:

Feel free to dissect the map and take a closer look at the inner workings. I'd love some feedback and some new ideas for redstone puzzles to add. I enjoy putting myself to the test so show me what ideas you have! All of the challenges are hand built by me along with a crappy tutorial video.

NOTE: At the end of the map make sure the TNT in the boss ignites. If not, jump onto the head and light it directly!

[mikeishardcore]

I would love to make a video of this, but at the moment im doing a project for English. I can after im done though! Also, you prob should put this in the map section, even though it has redstone.

[baeshra]

Sounds great! I'd love to have an actual play through video of this. Thanks a lot! Also I did put this in the maps section as well. I though people here would be more interested in it though because of all of the contraptions. People in the maps section hate commenting and almost never give ideas about new redstone puzzles to add.

[mikeishardcore]

Ill play in like an hour or 2, almost done with my project
Also, is it for 1.1 or 1.0

[baeshra]

It works with both versions.

[olofgickpabio]

It was good ; )
But at the end i owned ya, /damage in spc xD

kk. Gonna play it soon

[baeshra]

Lol, did the tnt kill you like it was supposed to or did you avoid death by the avoid? I plan on adding more after the end minecart track soon to. Thanks for all the comments!

[deatlhknight]

This is the most epic map ever! Um... So is the lava killing you the end?

[deatlhknight]

BTW, PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ONE! THAT WAS THE MOST EPIC MAP I'VE EVER PLAYED. HOW DID YOU MAKE THE DREAM STATE? RIGHT CLICKING ON REDSTONE BLOCK?!?!? GENIUS!

[baeshra]

The end should be:

Spoiler

After the tnt explosion you should die and reappear by a bed in a different area. There should be a new section that has a ladder leading down to an end area with a minecart to the surface that ends up killing you.

I'm very happy that you enjoyed the map, I'm curious, how long did it take you to complete it? I'm either gonna lengthen this map or make a sequel/prequel thing. I saw the dream state page somewhere on this topic earlier, I got a lot of cool contraptions here. If you have any ideas for cool contraptions I would love to hear them. I depleted a lot of my creativity on the other puzzles. Also I can insert more puzzles in between the ender pearl room and the 3 minecart area to lengthen and squeeze more stuff in if I don't wanna add more to the end of it.

[User]

Dear sir, this belongs in Maps.

[baeshra]

Dear sir, this is in the maps section as well. If you read the first post you would know that and see the link to it in the maps section. Apparently people here are more interested in the redstone contraptions it contains. Also, people in this section are more willing to help and are generally more awesome.

[Draco18s]

Yeah, I totally fucked up this map trying to play it.

Still have no idea where the pumpkin (to make the snowman) or the two(three?) cobble (smooth stone?) to make the pick in order to retrieve the original bed were.

Got to the lava room without ever doing the dream sequence thing (yoinked that dirt block for faster get-ups onto the jumping parts, no idea if I was supposed to even break it at all), dug my way out, went down to the dream sequence thing, got to the gold bed, went "huh, wait for night, I guess" and then about 2 minutes later, all the TNT went off.

Still not sure how one was supposed to have enough wood to make a hoe, a pick axe, and a pressure plate (lever?) to get out of the glass room.

Oh, and the first thing I ever did was turn the log into four planks to build myself up into the skylight and break the redstone wire up there.

[baeshra]

Well that was a mistake...

Read this Draco:

Wow, just wow. You use the sapling to start cooking the log. Take the log to the next room and use it to make a lever. You should then break the glass to the furnace. Use a stick to start cooking the raw fish. Take the raw fish and a crafting table should appear (After the furnace turns off). Then craft a hoe and use it on the dirt block. This will activate a delay that lifts another block by the glass room for a short period of time allowing you onto the roof of the glass room. You should try the map but use the tutorial for the first part of it. After doing some repetitive parkour, grabbing a minecart and placing on the detector rail to open a panel to make some arrows to destroy the minecart that's halfway through the parkour. This drops some redstone dust which you place by the iron door that's next to the detector rail. This opens the door and gives you a stone pick which you then use to break the diamond ore (even though it's really slow) and enter the dream state. From there you go into the dream jump, jump across, step on both of the pressure plates and get back in bed. From there you jump back down and you should now have access to two dispensers that contain a total of 4 snowballs and 1 pumpkin which you can use to finish the snowman.

Hows that for some help? I would very much appreciate it if you could retry the map. Also, its against the rules to break anything unless there is and X pointing to it. You are not meant to break any dirt in the map. The only objects that you are currently meant to break are the glass by the furnace and the diamond ore to get back into the starting room. I believe you are fairly intelligent and competent and I hope you can successfully finish this map.

Wow, just wow. You use the sapling to start cooking the log.

Got that part on my third try. I had to remember that little furnace BUD trick (admittedly after smashing the furnace and noting that there WAS a BUD).

Take the log to the next room and use it to make a lever.

Did that.

You should then break the glass to the furnace.

Did that.

Use a stick to start cooking the raw fish. Take the raw fish and a crafting table should appear (After the furnace turns off).

Did not do that. There was no indication what the fish was for much less that I should be burning highly limited resources.

In any case.

Then craft a hoe and use it on the dirt block. This will activate a delay that lifts another block by the glass room for a short period of time allowing you onto the roof of the glass room.

Delay was really short (I was digging out the dirt and placing it back, amounts to pretty much the same thing). I had to sprint in order to get to the gold block in time, and even then it took me four tries. At which point I failed the first jump, said "fuck this" and yoinked the dirt block and put it down on the gold block so I didn't have to keep resetting the BUD every time (I got it, there's a BUD, it lifts a block, moving on now).

I had no ability to make a hoe at that point anyway.

You should try the map but use the tutorial for the first part of it. After doing some repetitive parkour, grabbing a minecart and placing on the detector rail to open a panel to make some arrows to destroy the minecart that's halfway through the parkour.

Yeah, did that.

This drops some redstone dust which you place by the iron door that's next to the detector rail. This opens the door and gives you a stone pick which you then use to break the diamond ore (even though it's really slow) and enter the dream state.

THAT's what the redstone was for. Forgot that door was even there.

From there you go into the dream jump, jump across, step on both of the pressure plates and get back in bed.

The problem here is the whole "wait 10 minutes before you can use a bed again" thing. You end up standing there with your thumb up your ass for 9+ minutes because the jump wasn't that hard, and you'd just slept in a bed.

Also: did step on both plates.

From there you jump back down and you should now have access to two dispensers that contain a total of 4 snowballs and 1 pumpkin which you can use to finish the snowman.

Was unable, due to the gold bed "You can only sleep at night, why did TNT go off" issue.

Hows that for some help? I would very much appreciate it if you could retry the map. Also, its against the rules to break anything unless there is and X pointing to it. You are not meant to break any dirt in the map.[i]

I know that, thanks. >..>
It's called being stuck and frustrated and wanting to just get over the inconvenience of having to reset the BUD every time I fall.
I do the map as intended to the best of my ability, but if there's a spot that's a constant thorn in my side (that momentary gold block rising out of the floor, for instance, or the two gold blocks on the wall with the pressure plates on them) I'll do whatever I need to to avoid doing it again after I've "got the idea" and just don't want to go through the motions (with regards to those two gold block plates, I didn't build myself a ladder up past them until after I'd made the jump).

The only jump in that sequence I didn't legitimately do was the 5-wide gap one. For whatever reason I couldn't get the sprint right.

[i]The only objects that you are currently meant to break are the glass by the furnace and the diamond ore to get back into the starting room. I believe you are fairly intelligent and competent and I hope you can successfully finish this map.

Like I said, I know. It's called I was cheating because I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing and/or was making a shortcut just so I didn't have to do a particular thing over again.

[mikeishardcore]

kk, beat it, uploading the videos now. Fucked up on the dream state, thought it was a glitch, so i re-logged and had to manually fix it(Good thing i know how a simple bud works)xD.
Great map. +1

[mikeishardcore]

Shit. I sound like a 10 yr old. Im getting a new mic soon. Plus some weird background noise i can't hear in real life. Anyway, link- http://youtu.be/YYLAp8QyiM8
It will finish uploading in 30 min

[Ubran197]

Wow, I read that tutorial and that is not at all the order I did stuff in. Question: how does one get enough arrows to shoot all 3 minecarts? I only found the stuff for 1 arrow
