Hey, have you ever wanted a flat map that wasn't boring, wasn't super low, wasn't populated with slimes? A flat map that had some character? Well read on!

Dan's Beautiful Flat-Map

Throughout my search for a flat map that wasn't just a boring straight plain of a single material, I found nothing. So I decided to load up mcEdit and make my own, and after a lot of success, I am here to share it with you!


WARNING this map may will contain:
- Trees (Occasionally)
- Sand (In small pools)
- Water (... In small pools)
- Sugarcane (Around the water)
- Tall Grass (All over in patches)
- Flowers (In patches)
- And more (if I forgot anything)

Info

The ground level in this map is at 64 height; right in the middle, giving you 64 down and 64 up to build. You spawn in the very middle of a 128x128 chunk square map. Each chunk being 16x16, and there being 128x128 of them... you do the math!

There are NO slimes that spawn at the ground level, unlike the vanilla super-flat option!

The ground level is consistent throughout the map, meaning that most of the map is at 64 height, although sometimes dipping for a small pool of water or whatever.

You could survive in this map, with there being trees (rarely), water, sand, etc. If someone wishes to make a YouTube series doing this I would gladly showcase it here on this thread.

Yes indeed it does. This is made so that you could probably survive on it, even though it's pretty boring. But it contains everything you need to survive I believe, excluding strongholds and dungeons.

... I have no idea. I have never heard of Sophos. I think it's just a fluke, I obviously didn't put any viruses due to the positive comments and whatnot, but you don't have to use it if you don't trust me.

Hey there!

I would really want to use this map for a project I want to do. One question: Are there mines, shafts and that stuff? So is it "just" a normal map, but flat?

Greetings

[kacpi55501]

Pics!... Uhh... Why is this flat?

[destroyallhumans]

Reminds me of indev,when flat worlds had all of this (Except MUCH more.)

[the3rdnumber]

nice one!

[Blunz_Likes_Rainbows]

I've been looking for this kind of thing for a while. I hate hills and messy terrain.

Downloading now.

[Mynotoar]

I love it dude. This is really useful .

[HerpingandDerping12345]

Nice Map,mate!
Thanks for the map!
Diamonds for you! And some Notch Aproves for you!

sorry for a 3-day bump, but i think the DL link is broken, because it takes me to www.mediafire.com and not the actual download. I've been looking for a world like this so a fix would be really appreciated.

Found an alternative. Use WorldPainter. You can create your own worlds and you can make it where Minecraft populates certain areas for you (like trees, caves and snow and such, not landscape wise) or you can add it your self. It works too. :3

Also, you can create flatmaps that seem to go on FOREVER.....

[toughenough6]

I updated the download, the map is a bit bigger now. Not noticably probably.

[legomen3]

ha ha ha i can make one of these in about 1 minute with one program world painter
