Lava Race
1. Each player starts on a 4x4 platform that is 6 blocks deep. The bottom layer is bedrock and the outer sides are bedrock.
2. Each platform is surrounded by lava.
3. Platforms are at LEAST 6 blocks a part so that players can not shoot one another too early into the game.
4. Each platform has a chest on it that consists of the following items:
4 wheat seeds
2 oak saplings
128 bonemeal
2 chicken spawn eggs
1 READ ME book
1 bed (Players are instructed to place the bed and sleep in it ASAP to set their home spot in the event of their accidental death.)
5. The object of the game is to be the first player to build their way up to the surface and escape.
6. The player that escapes first is not necessarily the winner however. Once reaching the surface, there will be a floating altar waiting for them. The altar has 25 chests spread around it, and inside these chests they will find TONS of great items to help prepare them to battle against other players who reach the top, or for them to go after the other players still below.
7. Now this player must go and kill the remaining players to win the game.
8. The final surviving player is the victor.
Extra rules:
If a player dies by starvation, falling into lava, or other means BEFORE another player reaches the surface, they are allowed to respawn on their own platform and continue playing.
Once the first player reaches the platform and recovers 'The End Games' book, all deaths from that point on will officially remove the deceased player from the game. The last player left alive will be victorious.
The surface is surrounded by bedrock. Players can reach the surface and build whatever they like while they await other players to reach it. Players must be careful not to dig too deep at the surface however, because they can fall back into 'Hell' and die.
Players can construct anything that they desire while trying to reach the surface. They may construct weapons, tools, etc. They may also mine the blocks underneath their platform in hopes of finding useful materials to help them even further.
NO creative mode. NO spawning items. And NO teleporting. Also no breaking ANY blocks at spawn, ANY glowstone blocks, or ANY quartz blocks.
Good luck and have fun!

Here is the download for this map. It contains all the files needed to run a bukkit server. Please be sure to read the two documents enclosed for more details.
*A small update was made to the map after the initial upload. Please be sure that you have the newest version of this map before playing. The above link has been updated.
**There is a small issue with players dying before 'The End Games' and not respawning where they placed their bed. If this happens to you during the game, just teleport yourself back to the spawn room and find your platform sign. Reset the switch and pull it again to go back to your platform.
Here is a video walkthrough that I made this morning (5/27/13) showing the basic idea of how to play the game:

I can do that now. This is my first adventure map so I am learning, lol. My friends and I played it some today and I made a few minor adjustments. The link has been updated and here it is again for anyone who needs to redownload the fixed version.
The picture above is taken inside the play area. The floor is made of lava, and there are 16 platform towers inside. Players spawn inside the platform of their choice and must figure out a way to make it to the top of the platform to the surface area.
The above picture is the spawn room where players begin the game. Here they will select which platform they wish to play on.
The above picture shows the bottom of a player platform when you first spawn in it. Players open the chest and begin their tough journey to be the first to reach the surface and reap the rewards.
This picture above shows the viewpoint of a player looking up from the bottom of their tower platform. Each tower is made up of four 'tiers'. At the top of the first-third tier, players will find a chest that will help them along the way. The 4th and final tear is the actual surface.
This final above picture shows the surface area and the floating altar that the players are trying to get to. The altar has 25 chests with lots of goodies to help prepare them to kill the remaining players. Only one chest contains the "End Games" book that puts the game into it's final stage.
If anyone has any questions, suggestions, thoughts, etc., please feel free to let me know. I wish to thank anyone who gives this map a try and please let me know if you enjoyed it or not.
The game has been updated again. In this update I added another stack of bonemeal to the platform chests to almost guarantee that players can grow their first tree when they begin the game.
I also added various bonus chests and surprises hidden thoughout the play area that can either help a player reach the surface quicker, prevent other players from reaching the surface, or help better defend you when the 'End Games' begin. The update link is above and I have updated the link in the main topic.
If you have played this game, please comment and let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions that could make the game even better!

It's showing that I have 21 downloads so far on my files where I uploaded this map. Would anyone who has downloaded this care to let me know what they think? I worked really hard on it and would like some feedback. Thanks!

The game has been updated yet again.
In this update I added a special hidden chest that can drastically change the outcome of the game in the favor of anyone who finds it. I also did a few cosmetic changes to the arena area as well as added some more goodies to the chests in both the arena, and the surface altar.
The link is below, and it has been updated in the first post of this topic.
So far this game has been downloaded 53 times and I have yet to get ANY kind of feedback at all. Please let me know what you think if you have downloaded and play this game. Thank you!

SkydoesMinecraft did a video on this game today. After watching it, I can tell that I need to make a few adjustments to the game.
Things to expect in update 5:
The towers/tubes to be MUCH higher.
A pyramid above the floating offer with the 'End Games' chest at the top of it.
*The game can only be won when a player finds the 'End Games' book. After that book is found, everyone who dies after that point is out of the game. The last player left alive is the winner.
**I am also thinking of a new name for this game. I am open to suggestions. If you have any, please let me know. Thanks everyone!
lol, in the video that SkyDoesMinecraft did, they made a little joke about platform 9 3/4 since I had all the play areas called 'platforms'. So I added it to the game. Also, if you choose platform 9 3/4, the player sign will say 'Harry Potter', lol.

Wait, in the video I saw, there was already a "Platform 9 3/4"... either way, cool.

Your brain is so powerful, it would take a state of the art computer the size of a factory to come even close to matching the processing power.
Wait, in the video I saw, there was already a "Platform 9 3/4"... either way, cool.
That's because they changed the sign for platform 10 to platform 9 3/4, lol. Now I just hope they will do another game using the updated version that I made today.
Yeah, I know. I am hoping that he and his friends play the updated (Update 6) version now. The one that they played wasn't all that exciting. I think they will like the updated version much better.
I am also hoping that they play the new team version that I made today called Lava Race 2. The link to that is in the original topic.

Have fun!

The platform towers are MUCH higher now.
The surface area has had a make over.
The surface altar has been changed around a bit.
The End Games and Forbidden Hell books have been hidden in chests above the surface altar.
The game rules have been updated to be more legible and understandable.
Platform 9 3/4 has been added to the game in honor of SkyDoesMinecraft.
Enjoy!
Wouldn't that be in honor of Harry Potter?

If you look in the first post of this topic and read down a bit, you will see a link for update 5. Click on that to download it.

Ah.
In update 6 I added command blocks to alert players when someone reaches the floating altar and when the End Games book is recovered.
I also changed the altar around a bit to make it more challenging for players to find and recover the End Games book.
Have fun!
