Alright, I have a bunch of ideas, and I made an account just to talk to you. First of all, I really like this idea and map, but it needs some work. I think you're spot on with the terrain and islands. all you need to add are objectives and hidden treasures of some sort. I think if you put one chest on each island, that would help. so that people will need to go to each island to complete the challenges. because I can see people not even stepping foot on an island, because they have no desire nor need to. When I played, I truly thought there was going to be a chest in the little pyramid, so I spent my whole time bridging to that island. Also, an introduction at the spawn island would be nice. Well, that's pretty much most of what I had in mind. I hope I helped you.
Thanks for the reply! The map, as of now, is not complete! I am planning on adding chests and smaller things when I'm done creating all the islands and the map game type (See Poll) is done. Once I reach 100 votes total, the game type with the most votes will be created using the map I have. I am totally going to be adding a challenge to that pyramid soon! Also what do you have in mind with the spawn?
Okay! Sounds good. Maybe just a summary of what the map is? I have no idea. maybe you can say there are hidden chests once you put them in.
Have any other Island Ideas? And when you were playing through did you find the secret inside one of the islands? Also did you look at the trades to see if they were fair? More Hint Trades will be added in the future. Also, with the spawn, I don't know how to implement that When the map is fully done then I will be redoing the original post to make the game described and such like with my other map( click my siggy if you want to see it ) for example.
I can't download with adf.ly, is there any way to download from some where else?
Edit: I think it may be because it is a .rar file so please upload to a compressed zip folder unless you are trying to get people to download something that is harmful to computers.

This is very well done, and awfully cool. I like the way you have made the islands. When ever I try to make floating islands, they end up looking terrible.
*Edit* Oh, and I'm also willing to test it out if needed.

Sorry about this! I need to add .Zip file download, however I am currently unaware of how to add this. If you could please let me know, I will happily add a .zip download link!!
I am really loving this!
I have some challenges for islands and also some island ideas and improvements, and i will make a map specifically to show you what the spawn could look like and many more things!
Challenges:
Ice Island: 1. Make a snow golem (You'll see how i think you should get snow soon) 2. Grow 3 taiga trees (Also going to see how to get it ) 3. Make an igloo.
Jungle Island: Make a Cocoa Beans farm 2. Make a treetop house 3. Make a custom jungle tree (Big)
Nether Island: (NOTE: Do not add this challenge until 1.5 because it involves Quartz --> 1. Collect a stack of Nether Quartz and make a small house using the blocks. 2. Kill Zombie Pigmen and craft a gold block using gold ingots (Crafted from the nuggets)
Desert Island: Make a cactus farm 2. Modify the pyramid (Make it bigger and change the design slightly) 3. Make a sugar cane farm (Add 1 piece of sugar cane to any island)
Trading Island: 1. Complete 5 villager quests ( Add villager quest books that be found in each house on the island on versions 5 and 6)
2. Buy 1 item from every villager (You get a reward for this one: 1 diamond that can be gotten from spawn once challenge is completed)
And now what i think that you should add to all these islands (This is a long post isn't it? xD)
To the ice island you should add little snowy hills with a Spruce Tree on the island. Also make a dungeon with a pumpkin as a reward for defeating the dungeon. The pumpkin can be used for completing the Snow Golem challenge.
To the Nether Island, you should add all the materials you can find in the nether. Some soul sand in the floor and some random glowstone scattered across the island. Also you can make a button that spawns Zombie Pigmen around the island for completion of more challenges. Also once 1.5 comes out, then add Nether Quartz around the island.
And to the Desert Island, i think you should also add a small lake of water with a piece of sugar cane next to it so the player can then start the 'Make a sugar cane farm' challenge. And just to make it just a lil bit harder, leave only a single cactus on the island for the Cactus farm.
For the Jungle Island, all i think you should do is to place some vines on the edge of the island so it can simple just run down to the void for cool effect . Also add some cocoa beans for completing another challenge.
Now for the trading island!. I think you should add a chest in every room in the island. For a nice RPG feel to it, put some written books with some little side quests such as 'Get me an apple and i will give you a reward!' and once you throw it down on a pressure pad, a dispenser shoots a piece of iron and a piston retracts and it drops on your head.
Well that is all the feedback i have!
Good luck with this map, it seems extremely good. I hope i helped out!

It looks awesome
Thanks, Just message me so I can see how you make the spawn. Also I will consider most if not all of these ideas for islands and challenges! However, for the villager 'quests' it would be awfully hard for one not to cheat, because as you have it, you throw an apple(as your example) on a pressure pad and then they get a reward, but they could just throw any item on it and get that iron ingot for free. Also for adding dungeons, how should I do that? Maybe press a button to take you to a challenge arena, then when you defeat it another button to a reward island that is far away from any other island? This paragraph was summarizing my thoughts, now into detail
For the Desert island; I don't feel water is needed for this island, I will add it to another one with the reed. I will make the cactus challenge an actual challenge for this map though!
Jungle Island; Great ideas!! Thanks!
Nether Island; Tons of pigmen spawn on this island, and I'm not sure how to control it because the amount seems overwhelming if you have tested it out yourself, i'm sure you'd agree! Also I will have to add the ores in when they are released!
Ice Island; Good ideas! I love them
Villager quests; See summarized paragraph, not sure how they'd work without cheating. Some people would cheat the system I'm sure
Anyways, thank you for your feedback! Very well thought out and thank you!

I think a swamp island would be great, like you could have challenges about making sticky pistons with the slimeballs from the slimes, or maybe you could add a challenge like destroying and living in the witches' house.

Thanks! I've been thinking of a swamp island for awhile now! Might add it!
For adding dungeons, i say you should make a little dungeon room that actually does use Command Blocks and teleports them to it. I think you should have one for every island, just to add a little action-packed feel to it.
And please make that Mediafire link! xD
By the way, could i perhaps help you out with the major things in this map like helping you make the islands etc. on my SSP world using your map and then sending it to you. Then you can see the world and just grab what you like from it and put it into the real one!
Thanks for the reply again, and you can send me what you make on the world and i'll grab what I like from it and such, but I might or might not take stuff I want to try to keep this as my own creations but if you did that it'd be cool!
Wow im replying to myself too much xD
Adding to the dungeon thing i just wrote, I agree on the teleportation to a distant island with all the dungeon rewards put on one island that is encased in bedrock so no cheaters break through the walls to loot the other ones.
Oh, by the way you should add a mining island, which is slightly bigger and i suggest making the caves using TNT to blow up holes inside the ground to make it seem a little more like a cave or ravine .
The caves should have stuff like gold emeralds and diamond atleast 40 levels above where they originally spawn so the player doesn't have to go down really far down to find that stuff and it saves alot of time instead of making a 75 block deep island.
If you want me to start thinking about challenges and little secrets etc. for a mining island, i can do that tomorrow morning
Also, I like the idea of this mining island, and I have a mod for helping me make man made caves without tnt so its more controlled Challenges for it would be helpful though
Haha!
Well here are the mining island challenges:
1. Collect 5 gold ingots, 5 iron ingots, and 1 diamond.
2. Collect 2 buckets of lava.
3. Find the Wither Dungeon inside the island
4. Kill the Wither
Since the Wither doesn't despawn, it would be great to out a wither dungeon inside the cave system. So the player is mining, they found the dungeon and they're just like holy crap!.
I've tried it on my map, and it seems to really fit into the dark theme of it all
1. Seems easy?
2. Good idea
3. & 4. Good ideas. Probably will do these.
And continuing on Nederz idea, the mining island, you could have the people find lave and water and make a Nether portal on the Nether island, but in the Nether you have another Nether island, where ghasts can actually spawn.You were wondering how to create and upload a .zip file? well, what you do is you go into .minecraft, into the saves, and you create a new .zip file. Then, you drag the save of your map into the zip, name it "Elemental Islands" and then just upload it.
Sorry about this! I need to add .Zip file download, however I am currently unaware of how to add this. If you could please let me know, I will happily add a .zip download link!!

I'm not sure how to alter the nether, though.. I might just move the nether island a distance away so ghasts shouldn't be that big of a problem..

How does this look for a survival map banner( if this becomes one?)

this looks like and awesome survival map!

Added the mediafire link for the latest one.
Thanks for the reply again, and you can send me what you make on the world and i'll grab what I like from it and such, but I might or might not take stuff

Link is up now, OP, but it was late because I went out for a bit. I also missed the bucket and now don't see one at all
I need to see your work before I even consider.
1. Seems easy?
2. Good idea
3. & 4. Good ideas. Probably will do these.
What do you mean you're running out of posts? xD

Yup and i was ninja'd.
Thanks
You don't have a limit?
Hello!
I'm not sure how to alter the nether, though.. I might just move the nether island a distance away so ghasts shouldn't be that big of a problem..
I know google works wonders but I was lazy yesterday and tired
Thank you
