Have you ever been playing Minecraft and said to yourself "Man, I wish this could be harder... I haven't died nearly enough today."? In the spirit of I Wanna Be the Guy and Kaizo Mario World, these game maps will be very difficult. It could be low amounts of a critical resource, or deviously placed monster spawners, traps, or just general meanness on my part, I want to take the normal Minecraft experience and really put pressure on the player.
The main objective of my maps is to find and complete the Victory Monument. This is a structure with slots on it for blocks. To win a Super Hostile map, you must place each of the requested blocks in the appropriate slot on the Victory Monument. There are 16 colors of wool blocks to find, and also in older maps, the 3 material blocks, of iron, gold, and diamond.
CTM stands for Complete the Monument, which is the genre my Super Hostile series created. Unlike Adventure maps, which typically have very rigid rules and restrictions, CTM maps are about playing Minecraft in a mostly normal fashion, but with a goal to work towards.
Super Hostile Standard Rules:
1) Find and complete the Victory Monument.
2) Find wool in chests (Fleecy Boxes) or on special boss enemies (Fleecy Mobs) scattered around the map, do NOT use dyes or spider string for wools!
3) You may craft the Iron, Gold, and Diamond blocks.
4) Use at least Easy difficulty, and never Peaceful. (I balance around Normal.)
5) Do not leave the boundaries of the map and go into normally generated Minecraft terrain.
6) Survive in any way you can think of. (Yes, you can mine, craft, and place blocks.)
7) You may use spider string wool and sheep wool to craft beds and other items, but not for the Victory Monument.
8) You may not pick up, craft, or move Ender Chests.
For the most part, Super Hostile is like playing Minecraft normally, but it's more difficult and you have a long-term goal to work towards. Also you may find yourself in some unusual terrain. Oh, and the map is designed to kill you, so keep that in mind.

And lastly, here is a bunch of legal stuff. The short version is: feel free to make videos about my maps, watching people play helps me make better maps; please don't rip-off my work and claim it as your own; and please don't upload my work to other websites.
Users are free (and encouraged) to create videos of the MAPS and share the videos online, using websites such as YouTube. Users are also free to include advertisements and monetize their videos of my maps. Watching people play my maps is by far the best way for me to learn how to make better maps. If you have made video's or LP's (Let's Play series) of my maps, then thank you very much!

could you make a video on how you make these maps? cause i suck at Mcedit, and would really like to see you do stuff like that, sorta like a speed paint video :tongue.gif:
these are EPIC... and well this would be sweet with 2 players:) LOL LOL ohh the joys of tring to work together:)
Even two players would still find the dungeon labyrinth beneath the Sea of Flame a challenge, go for it! :biggrin.gif:

Oh... umm... maybe? Eventually? I know people have asked me to make a guide for how I make my schematics too. I've never actually made a tutorial video before... I'd have to think about how to go about it. :smile.gif:
I can vouch for the evil nature of these maps from first hand experience. There is some nasty stuff just under the surface that I've found in Sea of Flame.
By the word of Notch, may Hell lay a curse on thou miner, upon which many creepers shall befall. Ghasts will terrorize thee and destroy thou's hard work.

Fire, water, air... now all you need is an entirely underground map (EARTH!) with bedrock ceiling at build limit, regular bedrock floor and bedrock walls (large enough of course to be plenty fun). Sort of like the nether, but without the nether fog, blocks & lava.
See it's funny, because I pour a lot of love and hate into making these maps. :smile.gif:

Thats Amazing!!!!!
I'll try them as you always make great maps of what Ive seen.
I'd like to do this as SMP as usual (I love SMP)
Thanks! Good luck. :smile.gif:
Quote from MaceInTheFace »
I think Sea of Fire... It's a bit easy to get all the grass/dirt/mushrooms and stuff. In my opinion.
But rabbit holes 1 and 2 are a pain in the ack, if you get my meaning.
My very first iteration of The Sea of Flame was mercilessly difficult, so I tried to scale back just a bit - there is a fine line between an enjoyably difficult challenge and masochistic frustration. But if you get cocky, you can always go... down. >:smile.gif:

If you've seen my videos you know I edit out any downtime or boring stuff...this video I think I edited out a total of 20 seconds total. I am on edge at all times while playing this map. Really a ton of fun.

Hahahahahahahaha! :biggrin.gif:
I love it!
You have no idea man, when I watch you play this, I remember where *most* of the stuff in the map is, but not exactly down to the block. So I know when you are getting close to ... something... and it's just like "Ah man, is it that block? No! The next? Nope. It's going to be that one! Nope not yet. Oh man here it comes, get ready, he's getting close! :D" And then you find something neat!
If it makes you feel any better, I have placed too many thing to remember exactly where everything is, so I have died to my own traps many times.
(And yes, the grass ledge that makes animals fall off just to taunt you is entirely on purpose. Psychological dickery and all that.)
I built a new island out of boredom, lol. Lava is all over the rocks on the way to it, so it's hard to get to the tree island. added some coal under it too.
