They're really nothing impressive. Beamos are just Guardians that can't move, and Bombats are basically just bats that explode when you get near them. Amoeba are simply squids that hurt to touch. Nothing really special.

If you want, here's the command for Beamos (1.8+):

/summon Guardian ~ ~-2 ~ {CustomName:"Beamo",Riding:{id:"WitherSkull",direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0],ExplosionPower:0},ActiveEffects:[{Id:14,Duration:999999,Ambient:1}]}

Also edited the OP somewhat.

Well, merry Christmas, all!

Sure! Be sure to link me. I'll want to see. :3 The Sand Rod, Lens of Truth, Bombchus, Rupees, and Hero's Bow are made with Command Blocks and will work in Vanilla.

I'll have you know that many of the textures don't belong to me; I got them from other Resource Packs.

kk...btw you might wanna make it more obvious were the player needs to go. maybe i just broke the game but i had no idea where to go

Sure thing! =D

I know, I'm playing Rated I at the moment. I'm about 5-6 rooms past the oasis. I do use a couple of mods, but more command blocks. The list at the OP is command block driven and would work in vanilla.

Welp, I've made zero progress other than some 3D model stuff... Looks like I've chased someone else off with mods...

Well, guys, I have made ZERO progress in the last couple of days. I have been playing a lot of maps, and am "stocking up" on inspiration.

Anyone have ideas for dungeon 5? "Forsaken Factory" just doesn't strike a good chord with me... : P

Well, where will the dungeon be located? What's the environment going to be like around the dungeon?

It was gonna be at "Ancient Mechworks", but I've tried many areas there, but not liked any of them...

I could honestly build a mechanical factory for a dungeon if you want.

I just don't like the idea anymore. I want something like the OoT Shadow Temple or The Arbiter's Grounds... Something dark and gloomy.

Looks great so far Rabid! You've accomplished quite a bit!

As far as mods, yeah, this is the reason why I try to minimize them in my maps. Many players just don't want to be bothered to download new ones or set up the proper package. However, most know how to change resource packs so those are less of a put off! If you use mods try to limit the list so it is pretty short or can be included in a single package you can prepare for them like Forge. It is tempting to include lots of them as it adds new functionality but you are better off sticking with a small set that captures the core features you want or a package as that is easier for the average player to set up. I haven't checked out your list, maybe it's easy to get all of them! But most players decide whether or not to play based on how easy the setup looks vs how cool the map looks. Seeing a long list of links discourages some people from trying. Speaking of which, I will probably try out the next demo since I'm finally making good progress on my own map and having a bit more free time. Where is your list of required mods? I checked the original post and can't find them

Also, if there is any command block system or contraption you want designed feel free to message me. I love designing new stuff and I've invented command block systems for others in the past.

Keep up the great work man!

As far as that dungeon, since I haven't played the demo I don't know what setting we are working with. Do you have a sewer system yet? That would be a good throwback to Link to the Past. And there is always a mountain with cliffs to climb too ;). I wouldn't give up on the factory idea just yet. Having a setting with things moving in the background is actually a really cool experience for players since most of minecraft is so static. It's a ton of work but if you can design some simple block machine animations to run it'll look great! Easiest way to do this is to design 3D minecraft block gifs. You have in a box somewhere different stages of the animation, then you just clone them in in succession on a timer. If you execute through the position of an armorstand you can make the same system work anywhere you place that armorstand with the right tag/name. I can send you and example if you wish. The only downside with lots of clone commands is lag so keep the structures small and only activate them when the player is within sight.

Thanks!

I'm glad to hear that the mods didn't scare you off, as they do most purists. :/ As for the mods, there is a list in the download, but I plan to do a Technic Modpack in the future. I started with mods, but I'm more of a command block kind of guy. At this point, the reason I use mods is to show that mods and redstone are not incompatible, and that just because a map uses mods it is not an "amateur project. The map uses four mods (I'm trying to get off of architecturecraft), but I reccomend Optifine (much better FPS, as well as some Connected Textures), Mo'Bends, and a decent shader (if you can).

As for mechanisms, I do a lot with command blocks (and just between us, I'm working on another map that's vanilla), I'm simply bound to 1.8. I hope to make a vanilla Zelda map in the future, but I'm using this map to hone my skills. I still need to work with pathing, RNG, and raycasting (I'm very weak with those), but other than that, I can do a whole lot of stuff. If I need help, I'll PM you. I'm really glad you'll play this map. It really means a lot for a fellow redstoner to give it a chance.

I hope you like it, but a TON of progress has been made since the last release. ZidaneRob has been lending a hand with his building skills and has really been helping the map look proffessional, as I get caught up with recreating the concepts from the games and forget to actually make it fun.

Once more, it really means a lot that someone will take my map seriously.

P.S. I'll put some screenshots in the OP.

If you really did want to keep it just between you two, you could have just used a PM.....Although, this is intriguing.

lol I probably should have.

What do you find intriguing?
