Hi. Im going to talk about the map, ill use the spoiler. Open on your own free will.

Since all ppl is talking about map heigh map, and are using videos, ill use spoiler because cant record my own video.

Chest contains:
-16 (colored) wool blocks.
-12 full-useless blocks (bookself, tnt, netherrack, dispensor, jukebox, soulsand, melon, moss stone, note block, sandstone, lapis laculi, stone block)
- 3 double-useless blocks (ladder, door, trapdoor)
- 3 crafteable-useless blocks (glowstone, bricks, clay)
- 3 painfull blocks (sand, gravel, glasspanel)

-usefull items (sticky/normal pistons, 2 lever, 2 sticks, stone stairs, fence, f.gate, cake, torchs, diamond sword)

Since we start at level 2 and need to reach 128 (for highest score) we need levels. If my maths aint bad we have 16+12+3*2+3+3=40 levels on chest, +2 for chest blocks itself, = 42. We need to find 84 outside.

Before doing math, lets sumarize what we found out of chest:
- 8 blocks of obsydian (need diamond pickaxe to get)
-11 stone blocks (need wooden pickaxe)
- 2 coal blocks (need stone pickaxe, to fuel furnace)
-21 leaves (need shears)
-20 planks (crafteable)
-11 iron ores (need stone pickaxe, placeable, crafteable)
- 3 gold ores (need iron pickaxe, placeable)
- 4 diamond ores (need iron pickaxe, crafteable)
- 4 glass blocks (cant break)
- 4 free string = 1 wool block (+1 levels)
- 7 slabs

This means we have 85 blocks out there+5 slabs. If we could move them at our will, we will reach more than 128 levels, but using sticky piston for that will be a HUGE work out. Wanna try???

Now, time to refine those blocks. Need 4 planks for crafting table. Now, to set our starting point, let say we need wooden pickaxe and stone pickaxe. Ill explain it later, but you waste 1 level on this one. So we start with 11 planks and 2 sticks, and only 8 cobblestone left.

1- 21 Leaves. We need shears => 2 iron ingot, 8 cooblestone for furnace, a coal ore for 8/8 power.
Blocks used: 8 cooblestone, 2 iron ores, 1 coal ore. (11 levels)
Unused: 6/8 cook power
Got: 21 leaves (21 levels)
Observ: We get 10 levels easy here.

2- Leaves + Iron bars. Based on first one, if we use 6 more iron ores and cook at the same time, we can craft 16 iron bars.
Blocks used: 8 cooblestone, 8 iron ores, 1 coal ore. (17 levels)
Unused: nothing (100% wood work)
Got: 21 leaves + 16 iron bars(37 levels)
Observ: Seems like we get 20 levels this way.

3- Obsidian blocks. We need diamond pickaxe and iron pickaxe. We are trying to get 8 obsidian, but will need 2 planks for sticks, 3 iron ore and 3 diamond ore to craft....and 1 coal ore if based on 2 or starting zero. Besides, if you think carefull, obsidian give 1 level the way it is......that said, FORGET MINING OBSIDIAN AND USE FREE JUMP 3->4 LVL!!!

4- Ladders. 2 planks make 4 sticks. 7 sticks makes 2 ladders. lets make math, 10 planks + 2 sticks = 20 sticks + 2 sticks = 6 ladders = 12 levels (if double-used no-consecutive).
Blocks used: 10 planks and 2 sticks (10 levels)
Got: 6 ladders (12 levels)

5- Shovel. As we know shovel is used to get 12 snow balls, crafting 3 ice blocks. But this is not compatible with ladder idea, lets see whats better. If instead of 10 planks we use 8 = 16 sticks = 4 ladders + 2 sticks, using 2 sticks and 1 plank for shovel we get 3 ice blocks.
Blocks used: 8 planks (8 levels)
Got: 4 ladders + 3 ice blocks +2 sticks(11 levels)

As we see, ladder idea is good but since resources are limited shovel is a better idea.

Im not sure if you noticed, but 2+5 makes the hightest score. Lets build it.
1) we got 42 normal levels on chest, +1 free wool level outside +1 free level because obsidian = 44 levels.
2) Using 2+5 we:
-blocks used 18 planks,11 cooblestone, 8 iron ores, 1 coal ore (38 levels)
-tools created: crafting table, wooden shovel, wooden pickaxe, stone pickaxe, furnace
-Got: crafting table, furnace, 4 ladders, 3 ice blocks, 21 leaves, 16 iron bars (50 levels)
3)for half blocks, fences and fence door....the cake to begin and stairs to end....will be 7slabs + fence + gate + stair + cake = 11levels
4) free glass on the way = 4 glass = 4 levels
5) ores dont used on crafting, placing with pistons ... 1coal, 3 iron, 3 gold, 4 diamond = 11 levels
6) Place the rest of blocks...2 planks, 2pistons = 6 levels.

Now, the count = 44+50+11+4+11+6=126 THE MAGIC NUMBER!!!!!

Hello

Im working n the pit 2.

Im still gathering resources but, that water source is troublesome. 1.9.5 has a bug on water, but even w/o it, you can get as high as you want with bucket + water. Is safer if have 2 of each, but 1 is enough (just need more skill).

Edited:
Now i see, cant reach the water source.
But that means i have to restart. Getting a bucket is useless now :smile.gif:

And a spoiler:

After finding the eleven cobblestone piece, now furnace is useless. But either way, very clever, water source to get the strings. It work in 1.9.5, not sure on other version.

The Pit 2 is actually very easy: go up some blocks, put the minecart there, go back down reclaiming all the block except for the one you're standing on, repeat. That way you multiply the usefulness of each block by a lot (around 5 if I'm not mistaken)
