Square Survival is a survival map based on the original ''Skyblock'' map.
The reason i made this, is because me and my buddies were playing skyblock for a looong time, but we came to a point where there was just nothing more to do.. we had done everything that can be done on a skyblock map. We didn't have any redstone to make machines, or other materials that we could make cool stuff with.
Thats why i made this. Square survival is based on the skyblock concept, but with alot more stuff do to.

What is so different with this map than skyblock?
Well, this map has many new things that will make your gameplay much more creative.
- A unique shop system.
- A unique quest system.
- Dungeons, villages and different ''planets'' to be explored.
- You can choose kits to start with.
- You can customise your own gamerules.
- And so much more!
Why should i even bother trying this map?
Well, i have worked really hard on this map, and through my journey of making this map, i have learned so much more about map making, redstone and stuff like that.
This is my first ever map that im going to publish, so for me, it would mean the world if only 10 people would even try this map out.
The map is free to download, and that will never change.
''Beta''
You could say that this map is in a ''beta'' stage. The map is far from completed, and i will keep throwing out updates VERY often.
The reason i publish the map so early, is because you guys can give me feedback, hate, love, ideas, and stuff like that to make the map with me.
I would really like this map to be community created, with all your ideas!
*NO IDEAS ARE STUPID!*
What to come
This is what i am currently working on right now;
- Smarter shop and quest system.
- Over 100+ more quests.
- More planets, villages and dungeons to explore.
- Bigger shop, with almost every item to both sell and buy.
- A ''lite'' version of the map, with less lag for the computers that can't handle this map.
- A website for the map.
- Make the map more multiplayer friendly.
- Adding unique bosses and mobs.
- Making the map look nicer.
- A ''feedback'' box where you can easly give me ideas for the map.
1) the gravel in the shop isn't spawning in the correct place. It spawns on the floor. (not really a complaint)
2) there isn't a list of what is available in the shop and with the time it takes for an item to go through (which I'm sure will only get longer as you add more items) it makes it kind of annoying trying new items
I found spawn too but it's not a complaint because you have signs stating it's going to be moved. For now I just built a wall in between me and it. I'm working my way to what I expect to be the shop now. :-P
Other than that I can't wait to see what additional quests you come up with and the shop expansion. Part of me feels like it was a bit too easy of a start too but maybe I'm just begging for punishment I found spawn but it doesn't make the complaint list because you have signs stating it's going to be moved.
Keep up the good work. Feel free to PM me if you want any help or need me to test anything out.
Thanks for the feedback, so i took a look at what you said.
Gravel bug should be fixed
The spawn is moved 20,000 blocks
''There isn't a list of what is available in the shop and with the time it takes for an item to go through (which I'm sure will only get longer as you add more items) it makes it kind of annoying trying new items''
Do you mean that there is no list over what you can sell? I didn't quite understand
Also, is there anything you want me to do to maybe make it a little bit harder to get started? If you have any ideas, please, come with them

I'm downloading it now, I'm so hype for this. I'm glad that someone else found Skyblock boring after you completed it. I even completed the Hardcore one which took a while, but once I was done it was just boring. This looks amazing and I can't wait to play it.
andeeyshiet this map is super awesome and i really want to try it but when i download it it gives me a notepad file instead of a folder with all the data for the map like other custom maps if you could fix this bug that would be really awesome your map has a lot of potential! Keep it up!
I had the same problem for a few months, if you have windows 7 or 8, this should work
1: Open the start menu. 2: Click accessories. 3: Find where it says cmd 4: Right click it , then run as administrator. 5: Type the following assoc zipflder.dll=CompressedFolder
Yes I was referring to having a list of sell-able items and potentially what they sell for. New content looks great. Can't wait to check it out. Also as for making it harder I supposed I just need to not pick a kit. All the kits seemed balanced when I looked at them.
The spawn is moved 20,000 blocks <----- dang it... now I need more blocks to make it to spawn[/b]
Sorry the instructions didnt work but at least you tried thanks for at least trying and keep up the good work with the map and also to be honest i thought it would take me five days to get a response so thanks!
Next issue to report. (I went into Creative to debug). Sometimes when putting multiple items in the selling system one will fall out of a hopper and eventually despawn. I have a solution to this and will get back with you. (This solution should overall speed the store up too)

Dude, you are amazing!
Good job on turning one concept into a better one! I think this is a reeeeally good way to start your mapmaking reputation.
I am downloading right now!!!
Would you mind checking out some of my maps???
Diamond for you:
Oh man, i have actually played both of your Test Anomophier maps!
Its so cool that you are downloading my map!
Love your maps!
Thanks for playing my test anomophier maps!
I just played Square survival for a little and here is some feedback:
I like how there is a book instead of a web page for the quests.
I like the messages you get when setting the settings.
I like how there are classes
I like how there is more than one island
I like how the shop has non pick up able items for display
I like how you get rewards for quests.
I like how this is a better version of a map we all know and love: "Skyblock"
I also like colored world name.
Also, nice logo!
Good job! This is a really good start to your map making journey!!!
Also, it took me 3 minutes to make this:
Hahahahahah, thanks for the feedback and for playing my map!
LOVE THE PICTURE DOE ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Just gave it a download. I'll give you feedback later. I'm definitely excited for this.
*EDIT* "Growing you a pair of balls, stand by".... already an 11 out of 10
Haha, with over 400 command blocks, i guess i had to make some of them a little bit funny
Thanks for the download, can't wait for the feedback!
So far my only complaints are
1) the gravel in the shop isn't spawning in the correct place. It spawns on the floor. (not really a complaint)
2) there isn't a list of what is available in the shop and with the time it takes for an item to go through (which I'm sure will only get longer as you add more items) it makes it kind of annoying trying new items

You should probably add more islands.

Working on the 6th island, and one of them even includes a boss!
Thanks for checking it out!
Would appreciate if you took some time to give me some feedback after you played it!

Let me know if that fixed anything!
Sooo, here is a little update for those who actually cares
Adding many more quests
Let me know what you want to see in this map!
Cheers
Could you please add a zip file to this? My computer has Windows, so it gets a bit hard to download with Windows not supporting rar files.
+1 to more stuff
