Announcing the beginning of a new collection of Vechs-style custom maps. If you download, please come back and leave a comment. I aim to please and BTW, I'd rather have an honest comment than fluff. If you have a problem with anything posted here let me know. And if you love anything posted here, let me know even more.
Multiplayer Games:
Frostbite Feudlands, a (CTM) Race for Wool map for competing teams of 2-4 players with a twist: Changing the sequence of the identical chunks created a bend in the lanes...corners...bottlenecks...
Gates of Attitude, a custom PvP multiplayer map for 2-8 players or 2-8 teams specially designed for use with the ULTRA HARDCORE mod
King of the Ladder (dsmith77 version), a custom PvP Multiplayer Map for 2-8 players with custom chests, platforms, and innovative respawn bases.
Schematics:
Obsidian-Reinforced Treasure Room, a variation on Vechz' original Fleecy Box that requires players to mine at least one obsidian block to access the chest inside.
Potion Rack Schematic, a complete set of all 56 potions available in-game INCLUDING variants only available through editing: 7 base types x 2 uses (regular and splash) x 4 strengths (Regular, Regular Extended, Double Strength, and Double Strength Extended).
RFW Redstone Latch Bridge, my own version of the redstone bridge trap for RFW maps which automatically and permanently disables the other side upon being triggered.

Wow! What a seed for Ultra Hardcore! It includes every biome, has incredible scenery, and lava pools litter the surface. But the best part is the inclusion of 5 Villages, 3 with Forges and Chests. There are also 2 Surface Spider Dungeons and 2 Surface Skeleton Dungeons. It's an Ultra Hardcore player's dream!
The play area extends 1024 blocks from (0,0) in every direction and has been subdivided into 9 areas in a 3x3 pattern (#) by shallow waterways. Players spawn on a pad high above the central region near (0,0). Gates and one-way minecart tracks ensure safe, separate starting territories.
The Ultra Hardcore Mod changes the game as follows:
Health regeneration when a player's hunger bar is full has been disabled.
The only way to get health back is to craft a Golden Apple or Health Potion.
The recipes for Golden Apples and Glistering Melons have been changed to require gold ingots and a gold block respectively.
Rules of Play:
1. Choose PvP or Team and read those Rules
2. Players/Teams should each choose a gate and proceed to their chosen territory.
3. Survive in any way you can think of that ensures you are the last player or team alive.
PvP Rules:
No cheating (xray, flying, etc.)
No PvP during the first minecraft day-night cycle
No teaming up in the wild.
When only two players remain, both must head toward (0,0) for a showdown.
Team Rules:
No cheating (xray, flying, etc.)
No PvP during the first minecraft day-night cycle
Teams must be agreed upon before leaving the spawn area.
When only two teams remain, both must move to the central region.
Gameplay Variations:
A. Restricted Map - Play only on the central region below spawn.
B. SURVIVOR Style - Begin with teams. When only one team remains, play changes to individual, survivors move to the central region, and no PvP for one day-night cycle.
C. TRIBAL COUNCIL - Each sunset teams choose one member to exile into the night

"Etho MindCrack SMP - Episode 10: King of the Ladder"
Featuring: Etho, GuudeBoulderFist, Nebris88, PauseUnpause, VintageBeef, and W92Baj
Rules of Play:
1) Each player must choose and jump down one of the colored safe-falls and proceed to their base.
2) Inside their base, players should set their spawn and choose their equipment.
3) Exit the door but DO NOT drop down to the platform until all players are ready to begin.
4) Players may NOT return to their base unless they die.
5) No player is allowed to enter another player's base.
6) Otherwise, play to survive in any way you can think of that does not violate the other rules.
Gameplay Variations:
A) Free-for-all
Timed Game
C) Points for PvP Kills (Falls and Mobs don't count.)
D) Deathcount (Lowest Wins)
E) Cloud Ceiling (Stay below cloud level; Use to play shorter or more intense games)

I just added two new screenshots to the description. As it says in the title, this is a Vechs-style map with lots of loot in chests and lots of different ways to play.
I call 'King of the Ladder' a Vechs-style map because of the way I've included loot chests on platforms in the map. There are no traps in 'King of the Ladder' since it's primarily a PvP map, but the chests are from my own collection of schematics. I was busy developing my Race for Wool map 'Frostbite Feudlands' when the Etho video came out and so was able to use many of the schematics I had already created.
I hope Vechs (Vechz on Youtube) doesn't mind me using his name as an adjective. I think 'Vechzian' has a certain ring to it.
I've been working on Frostbite Feudlands this week. Until it's finished, enjoy the above pair of teaser screenshots. This map was partly inspired by Vechs' original RFW maps as well as the popular Vinyl Fantasy custom map.
Frostbite Feudlands is approximately 80% complete. I hope to have it finished by the end of March but I have little spare time so we'll see. I've just about got the diamond ore section how I want it. Tell me, do you like silverfish?
On a technical note, if anyone can tell me how to make stupid BBCode perform an internal page jump to an anchor link, please tell me how. I know HTML up and down so the restrictions of BBCode are frustrating. I'd just as soon create and manage the whole topic post in HTML if it would let me.
Thank you. I've really enjoyed making it. I've mixed a medieval theme - wizards, castles, and villages - with a frozen biome. I think it's a great combination that will be fun to play.
Wow. 937 downloads and it's only been posted about two weeks. You guys are awesome! This deserves some more screenshots of my current work-in-progress map, Frostbite Feudlands.
Also, if any of you 937 people recorded a match I'd love to see the video. I might even link to it in the post.
Updated the version of King of the Ladder to 1.1 and then 1.2. There was a mistakenly placed block at the top of the ladder that was corrected. I also standardized the Feather Falling Boots.
Sorry folks. I got sidetracked from Frostbite Feudlands by working on this awesome Ultra Hardcore map. The map is actually done. It just lacks a little polish at spawn and some updated instructions. Expect the initial release this weekend. In the meantime, check out the screenshots. What a seed for Ultra Hardcore!
And for those interested in Frostbite Feudlands, it's about 90-95% complete. It took a lot longer to create a glacier zone and volcano for the final wool than expected but I know players will love the attention to detail. I hope to post new screenshots soon. I've got one more idea to implement to maximize the experience and then I will need some beta testers to squeeze out any remaining bugs and maximize the experience.
Any takers? You'll need two teams of 2-4 players, a server to install the map on, and video recording capabilities -OR- invite me to watch your playthrough as my schedule permits. I don't expect any problems but you never know so I do want it tested. Vechs has Zisteau. Who will be my beta testers?
GATES OF ATTITUDE is now up! Check out the additional screenshots in the first post. Also, please leave comments and share links to videos if you record a game. I'd love to see them.
Well, Frostbite Feudlands is taking longer than expected but that just means it will be even more awesome when it's released.
Today I've posted two schematics for aspiring map makers: a complete set of available Potions and a complete set of Spawn Eggs. How is that interesting you say? Because my schematics include items in the game but unavailable even in creative. In fact, they're only available by editing the NBT data. Check the description and screenshots for more. Ender Dragon Spawn Egg anyone?

Correction: The spawn eggs no longer work in 1.2 so I have removed the link. I guess the game was updated and this exploit was patched. It did work in 1.1 however. So no Ender Dragon eggs for you or me. Sorry.

It reminded me of a particular section in Frostbite Feudlands en route to collecting the Orange Wool. It's where the player is going up a particular set of stairs...Enjoy!
