Minecraft Forums

Wasn't everyone worried about the thread dying a little while ago? Well, I'm certainly glad the front page finally has an update, even if it's a small one.

Does anyone have experience working with World Machine and then importing the maps into WorldPainter? If so, how's the learning curve? Is it worth giving a shot, and is there anything in particular one should keep in mind when trying it?

learning curve is kind of steep, as well as the price. Try to keep the dimensions of your wm build the same as intended minecraft dimensions. Also I would start off making worldpainter brushes, those can help you learn the basics before you start making maps.

I would watch jamzi boys videos on worldmachine. They are still very applicable, although simple.

Also keep in mind strong erosion doesn't always make your map good, even though it might seem good in the worldmachine preview.

Good luck, I'm excited to see you take up terrain making, its a great deal of fun.

Hi. I know this is spam, but the only people I kind of know in the entire forums are here, and there's a small chance that they'll read this. I don't want to make a big deal out of this, so here goes.

Do you remember me? I'm the person who reviewed the Strawberry Jam maps. After some consideration, I've decided to give up playing Minecraft, which means I won't be making any more reviews. I'm doing this not only because of other things I enjoy doing, but because I don't have as much time to play mc as I used to. I know eventually I won't have much time at all.

So I've put my maps up for download here. I know they're not good maps in any way, and none of them are CTMs. But I originally intended to publish them when they were done, so that's what I've done, even though they're all rough products and could've (should've been polished up before I published them). I'm not going to go into great detail about all of the maps, but there's one in particular I want to mention.

Caverns & Crevasses, an underground-themed parkour map which was supposed to have 20 stages, is currently unfinished. I put a lot of work into it, so I feel somewhat regretful leaving it unfinished like this. So maybe one of you could finish it if you want to? Even if you don't want to, you can take a look around and try out some of the parkour maybe. If you're going to try to finish the map, here are a couple things you should know:

- It should take place underground.

- It should have 20 levels.

- Each level was originally going to have a hidden cookie somewhere. (20 cookies in all.)

- The layout is really awkward. I din't plan it out on paper, so this is probably why.

- The quality of the map is really low, maybe the parkour equivalent of NTWICCTM?

So there's that. If you're actually interested in what maps I was going to review, here they are:

Scattered Treasures

The Cubes of Adventure

Twisted Logic - Green Hill

By the way, Acaran, I saw a while ago that you were looking for information on maps reviewed on the thread. The Strawberry Jam maps were made for 07/01/2013, so they should all be for 1.5.2 (I think.) I did play them in 1.7.2 though.

Alright, I guess that's it. See ya.

It's a little step forward, but people are less active than I was hoping for. I was hoping to have all the newer maps in there in a few months but I haven't had a single map submission since the update.

Even people who are active here haven't bothered to send their maps in or fill out the descriptions if they are already present...

Also the map of the month section. I was hoping that when we didn't have a suggestion as a community - some interesting, inovative map, it could be a kind of a controlled billboard. But I guess people don't want to have their maps advertised.

The problem is people simply aren't releasing as many maps anymore. As time has gone on the quality of maps has increased so, save a few Jam maps here and there, maps take a long time to get released! This is why I am still all for bringing back the upcoming maps section, but I do get that the projects often end up burning out and (like many of the maps on the old list) never really get released.

@Electrifeye

Nice! I can think of quite a few ways to use this actually.

Hey all guys. My friends have asked me to try out this modpack called FTB Infinity, so we'll be going around together, and I'll do my usual exploring stuff and learning as much as I can. Feel free to join me!

Has anyone ended up using the areas that Xekaj put out from his unfinished map back in 2014? I'm considering substituting one of my areas in Tale Of Two Swords for one of those, but i wouldn't want to have the same exact area as someone else in my map.

Edit: also a new thread for my map is up, I'll probably release it within the next two weeks, I took down the old DL because there were some major mistakes i made when i released it earlier that i was unaware of.

@Mithy Seems like a great concept good luck, and i hope to play when you're finished

I think Epic: A Song of life used some, but do not quote me on that. I recommend you check to be sure.

(Epic used the spawn area from the legacy pack, so he may have used other areas/schematics in the map)
