Immense thanks to all of my beta testers!


How I Made Things In This Map:

Counting emeralds is going to depend on how the player gets them. Counting zombie kills, provided that they're the only mob, is easy -- it'll be a scoreboard objective of the type "totalKillCount". For help with command blocks, see this thread: http://www.minecraft...shops-and-more/


You can't use dispensers and spawn eggs to create custom mobs. You'll need to use an external editor like MCEdit. Have you used it before? The filter you need can be downloaded here, and there's a tutorial video for it on the same page: http://sethbling.com...eategearedmobs/

Pictures of the maps, embedded into the post (or at least linked to, rather than a download) would be nice. Some idea of what kind of map these are would be good too -- parkour? Survival? CTM/Squid farming hybrid?

I'm not sure what "horrible and cheesy amps" are -- your post could really use some proofreading. A post that's clear and offers plenty of information (pictures, types of map, version of Minecraft, rules, etc.) to the potential map-player is one that will get the most people interested.

Zip the map folder, then use Mediafire.

Quote from Kienose

Tested it! It's good idea! But if this was in SMP. Player A sleep but player B don't sleep. Did player A still receive Exhaustion point?

Yes. If night isn't skipped, all players get exhausted. Don't play with people who will screw you over.

This is a system intended to be put into the spawn chunks of any Minecraft world, custom or vanilla. What it does is tests if players go to sleep in a reasonable amount of time (roughly 3 real minutes after sunset). In the morning, it gives either positive or negative status effects at random based on players' exhaustion levels.

At 19x16x9, it's a little bulky, but it adds a useful mechanic for any survival style map and can easily be customized!

Here are the default settings:

Exhaustion level required / status effect

0 / Haste II
0 / Jump Boost I
-1 / Healing I
-1 / Speed I
-1 / Strength I
-3 / Haste IV
-2 / Resistance I
-2 / Water Breathing
-2/ Jump Boost II
-3/ Speed II
-3 / Healing II
-4 / Strength II
-4 / Resistance II
-5 / Fire Res
-5 / Regen I

All status effects have a 1 in 4 chance of being given to one random player with the appropriate exhaustion level every morning. If playing with more than 2-3 players, I recommend increasing the odds to 1 in 3.

If the player stays up past the 3 minute mark (1.5 minutes after the warning message) and then sleeps, they will gain one point of exhaustion. If the player stays up at least an additional 3 minutes, they gain two points of exhaustion.

If a player goes to bed before the warning and has a positive level of exhaustion, it will be reset to zero. If the player has 0 or lower and goes to bed within 3 minutes, they lose one point of exhaustion.

Because of how Minecraft works, the system does not function normally if the only player in the world is in the Nether or The End. From my limited testing, it appears to remain suspended until the player returns to the normal world. Please let me know if you get other unusual functioning!

The first and most helpful thing to know is that every command block is labeled with what it does.

To change chance of a status effect occurring, you need to change the contents of the droppers underneath the hoppers. Adding more varieties of stackable items will lower the chance, and removing them will increase it (the signal is strong enough only when the cake/non-stackable item is chosen).

The status effect command blocks are set to target a random player. You could alter this to all players, or players on a certain team/with a certain level, etc.

The length of time required before a player is penalized for sleeping can be changed by altering how the top command blocks deal with the objective "late", or by adding/removing cobwebs from the item elevator setup.


I hope you guys enjoy the system. If you have any questions/comments, let me know!

Quote from PenguinXIII

Actually, I'm trying to color the actual objective. In this case, Date.

Turns out that's a heck of a lot easier. Open NBTExplorer, go to your map's name -> data -> scoreboard.dat -> objectives, and just edit the display name of the objective with whatever color formatting code you want.

Quote from nerdman01

It is something you have to do in NBT Editing because objectives are temporary unless put in manually

Quote from kor11isgreat

or mcedit

You actually don't need either of these things (and I don't know what you mean about objectives being "temporary").

I'm guessing that you're trying to do something like this:
(With different words, obviously.)

The scoreboard system supports colors for teams -- the syntax is /scoreboard teams option <team> color <value>

The sneaky trick is that you can make up fake players and add them to teams in order to color things. What I've done is made a scoreboard objective that displays as Date (/scoreboard objectives add date dummy Date) and then made three fake players (named Year, Week, and Day) join three different teams, to get them to show up in different colors.

That's the basic idea -- let me know if any part of it is confusing, and also drop in on the Command Block tutorial thread: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1762898-tutorial-command-blocks-includes-experience-banks-shops-and-more/

Are there other islands besides the starting one? There's no way to survive long-term on the first island. No water, no plants, and only one block of dirt to grow oak trees to maybe get apples from...

MCDungeon will create a procedurally generated dungeon in a preexisting minecraft map. It is not yet feature complete, but can already generate dungeons with quite a bit of variety. It is written in Python and makes use of code from Paul Hodge's minetown project and codewarrior's pymclevel.I primarily use this for SMP and multiworld via Craftbukkit and MultiVerse. But it works just fine in single player too.Thanks to the following for their interest, inspiration, and great ideas!

Current Features

• Automatically finds a good location on a map based on range, size, and depth parameters. Can detect player structures and try not to overwrite them.
• Dungeons can be removed from a map later and the landscape allowed to regenerate.
• Dungeons can be regenerated in place with a new layout, mobs, and treasure.
• Can generate multiple of dungeons in a map, or try to fill the map with as many dungeons as possible.
• Generates room layouts based on a random weighted selection of rooms. Rooms are filled with ranomd hallways, floors, room features, and ruins on the surface, all of which are configurable.
• The density and placement of doors, portcullises, and torches are configurable. Option to place fewer torches as levels go down. Less light == more danger!
• A "hard mode" that will attempt to fill in nearby natural caves in an attempt to concentrate random monster spawns inside the dungeon.
• Places stairwells between levels, and a tower entrance with a spiraling staircase. The tower height is configurable so it can be seen for many chunks.
• Optionally places an exit portal at the bottom of the dungeon to teleport players out to the surface. (requires command blocks)
• Places chests with loot around the dungeon in (probably) hard to reach places. An arbitrary number of loot tables can be configured to provide variety. The density of chests is configurable.
• Places mob spawners throughout the dungeon. These will likely be near chests, but not always. Mob types are configurable. The density of spawners is configurable. Some 'non-standard' mobs are available.
• Random placement of secret traps.
• Output floor maps to a terminal with color on ANSI systems.
• Output entire dungeon maps to HTML.
• Other things I've left out to avoid spoilers.

This tool will write data to your minecraft maps and may destroy them! MCDungeon will attempt to avoid player structures, but there is no guarantee. NEVER run this against a map that is currently loaded into Minecraft! Make Backups! Work with copies! I'm not responsible if it destroys your 120+ hour Justin Bieber pixel art!

Support Tips

When asking for help, you'll get the best response if you are sure to include the following:

• A clear description of the problem you are seeing.
• Include your OS version, MCDungeon version, Minecraft version, and any Minecraft mods you are running.
• If running from the command line, include the command exactly as you typed it.
• Use pastebin to post the complete console output from MCDungeon.
• pastebin your .cfg file if you have modified it.

Downloads and Usage

Download the latest version from the official MCDungeon site.

I am wholly aware that I am not original in producing a MineCraft map for private play. Still I am aware that the survival adventure genre is full of maps of varying size, theme, and aptitude requirements. Even still, the super grand scale adventure map tract is a tested style and I would completely deny any assertion that this is a new platform to which I am a pioneer.

MineCraft is a very well-played game. As testimony I would simply advise for any reader to search “MineCraft LP episode 87” and see the diversity of classes, age and creed of the players. There is seemingly no new avenue for originality in content and scheme, and yet we press onward into old horizons.
Sphere is made to be played. This was my second goal. It was not meant to be presented as a show of skill or artistic prowess; I made the map out of boredom and to combine my old projects. As a result the end product became the consequence of hundreds of hours of effort and brings us to; dare I say the largest most polished MineCraft adventure map yet made.




“Ho hum” you might say as you are reading this. I admit because there wasn’t an end product in mind the project might seem scattered and consequently chaotic. Some areas show no initial sign of difficulty and might invite the player only to later maim, mince and in other words kill the player by an oversight in the construction plan. To your patronism I say “tough tit” how you go about playing is none of my business and to suggest a course of action isn’t really my prerogative.

Here is the current version of Sphere for better or for worse. Any feedback would be nice.

[TUTORIAL] Command Blocks

Hey Guys!

This is a collaboration put together by the community and myself, to help you learn about how command blocks work. This topic contains designs that you'd be able to use with your custom maps, from survival islands to mini-games.

Read This Before Posting!
Before posting, please take into account that this is NOT a tutorial for mods, textures or third-party programs. Command Blocks can't do everything, and neither can Minecraft, so if it can't be done, that's that! Well, hope this helps you, and don't forget to leave feedback!

NOTE: In some cases, you may want to do some altering of the designs shown here. Not everyone wants the player to hit a button or walk over a pressure plate. Scroll to the bottom of this post and head over to the Minecraft Wiki to find out more!

Want to help? I'm currently looking for tutorials on /summon, /setblock, dataTags, and other commands and mechanisms you do not see here. Feel free to post them!

Something I designed for a map I'm working on; thought I should share it so other people could use the same idea.

Step one:
/scoreboard objectives add week dummy Week
/scoreboard objectives add showweek dummy Week
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar showweek
Step Two:
Build this:And now you have a working setup to count and display a week, which can easily be adjusted for shorter/longer spans of time.Possible uses:(All using a testfor command block somewhere)

• Wire to redstone lamps around a spawner to make rare, specific day spawns
• Have shops that are only open on certain days of the week
• Hook up noteblocks for Sunday church chimes
• Use as part of a countdown for time-limited maps
• Make some kind of Groundhog Day/Majora's Mask scenario
• If you count weeks, you could even set up Minecraft months and years!

Experience Bank ~ Feare

Used to store and withdraw experience levels in a Bank.

Command: /scoreboard objectives add Money dummy Money
Next: /scoreboard objectives setdisplay list Money

Okay, let's dive into the command blocks! We'll start with the "Deposit" section.^^ This will make the player teleport to a pressure plate at the set coordinates to deposit ^^^^ The layout I am using ^^^^ This will remove 5 experience levels from the player when they deposit ^^^^ This will convert the 5 experience levels into a dummy score, which can be found in the [TAB] menu ^^^^ This will teleport the player back to the Bank lobby ^^-- Withdraw Segment Currently Out Of Order --
"Rounds" System ~ Feare and Raecchi


The "Mystery Box" ~Feare

Preliminary:
Run these commands in order:
Command One: /scoreboard objectives add Money totalKillCount Money
Command Two: /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar Money

You can change the scoreboard sections to whatever you like. Just remember to refer back to the Scoreboard section if you need any help!

Images on imgur have mucked about, so instead of building it yourself, I am supplying you with an MCedit Schematic.
Download it here! Enjoy!
Playsound ~minihilly

Playsound:
/playsound <FileLocation> <player> [x] [y] [z] [volume] [pitch] [minimum_volume]

Whereas [] are optional, locate the sounds at .minecraft\assets\sound\, and name them after the location within the sound folder; so .minecraft\assets\sound\mob\pig\say will become mob.pig.say - it is IMPORTANT to note that numbers (0-9) CANNOT be used when referring to sound files; instead, the command will cycle through numbered files randomly (e.g. say1, say2, say3 will get picked randomly using the referrer mob.pig.say).

[x] [y] [z] coords are NOT referrers for the player's position, they a the set co-ords for where the sound plays from; for example, setting this to 0 2 3 will play a sound at x0, y2, and z3.

[volume] specifies the volume of the sound played (I think the maximum is 10*)

[Pitch] Specifies the Pitch (e.g. 1 will increase it by one octave, -1 will decrease it; decimals are accepted). I'm not sure, but I think the maximum value might be 6*

[minimum_volume] specify a minimum volume value - I think this means that, if the player is distant from the sound, how quietly it will reach before cutting out (essentially acting as a radius for the sound), but it doesn't appear to work

** Denotes uncertainty, or required confirmation.

Custom Potions ~FlazeOfAges

To give any item/block we would use:

/give @p
The item id for a potion is 373, so we would use:
/give @p 373 1
This gives a basic potion (water bottle) with the count of one (that come from the '1' place after '373'). So we now have a water bottle but what if we want it to give some actual effects? To do that we have to add one more number after our count, this number is known as the 'damage' of the potion. Changing the damage of a potion will give different effects, so what happens if we give our water bottle a damage of 1?
/give @p 373 1 1
See that? We just got a basic Potion of Regeneration. We can use this damage value system to create all kinds of potions. For example, a damage of 2 will give a Potion of Swiftness etc. This is all well and good, but we don't have any "custom" potions yet. We can add custom potion effects by changing the potion's DataTag. This is achieved through the use of 'CustomPotionEffects'.
/give @p 373 1 1 {CustomPotionEffects:[{Id:2,Amplifier:1,Duration:200}]}
Woah, slow down there! Let's break this up:
"CustomPotionEffects:"
CustomPotionEffects is what is telling the command that we want to add custom effect to the potion.
"Id:2"
The id is specifying what effect we want. In this case, ID 2 is Slowness. For effect ID's visit the Minecraft Wiki.
"Amplifier:1"
The amplifier is enhancing our potion from basic Slowness I. Keep in mind that an amplifier of 0 is considered Slowness I, so an amplifier of 1 gives us Slowness II.
"Duration:200"
The duration is telling our potion how long to apply the effect. IMPORTANT: Duration is measured in ticks (there a 20 ticks per second) so this potion gives a duration of 10 seconds.So when we put everything together, we get a Slowness II potion with a duration of 10 seconds.
{CustomPotionEffects:[{Id:2,Amplifier:1,Duration:200}]}
That's all well and good, but what if we want multiple effects on our potion? That's simple enough, all we have to do is add another set of data after what we had previously entered. IMPORTANT: Be sure to seperate your effects with a comma, like shown below.
/give @p 373 1 1 {CustomPotionEffects:[{Id:2,Amplifier:1,Duration:200},{Id:9,Amplifier:3,Duration:200}]}
This potion now gives us Slowness II and Nausea for 10 seconds. But we want a more interesting name than "Potion of Slowness", to achieve this we can add a custom name to our potion using the display tag. IMPORTANT: Be sure to lay this out exactly as below, or it will not work.
{display:{Name:Potion of Lead Feet}}
We can now place our custom name into our our pre-made potion as shown below.
/give 373 1 1 {display:{Name:Potion of Lead Feet},CustomPotionEffects:{Id:2, Amplifier:1,Duration:200},{Id:9,Amplifier:0,Duration:200}]}
Voilà! We now have a fully custom potion with a custom name.To learn more about DataTags and how they work, head over to minihilly's post HERE.

Setblock

Using /setblock:
As of 1.7.2, Mojang implemented a feature into mine craft that would forever change the way mapmakers view blocks, /setblock. The setblock command essentially allows a command block (or player) to remotely place blocks into the world. Here's the syntax:

/setblock x y z <BlockID> data-method dataTag

Start your command with /setblock followed by the coordinates of where the block should be placed. After the coordinates goes the alphabetical ID of the block being placed (NOTE: Future versions of mine craft will not support numerical ID's, so for a full list of alphabetical ID's, go HERE.). Following the block ID is the block data. Most blocks will have a data of 0, but some block (like wool or logs) heavily depend on data values to change their appearance. The method of which the block is placed after the data value. There are three methods available: "keep" summons the block if the space is empty, "replace" will set the specified block no matter what it formally was, and "destroy" will set the block as well as display the particles of the block being destroyed.

Compared to other commands, /setblock doesn't much in the way of data tags, but here are some that are worthy to note:
/setblock ~~1 ~minecraft:skull 1 replace {ExtraType:FireArceus64,SkullType:3,Rot:0}
The above will set the block above the command block to a skull with my skin on it, you can change the name to make it anyone else's.
For a full list of setblock data tags, go HERE.

Ta-Daa! You have now learn't how to use /setblock. As always, here is a command that shows the full extent of /setblock:]
/setblock ~~~minecraft:mob_spawner 0 destroy {SpawnCount:1,SpawnRange:13,RequiredPlayerRange:64,Delay:5,MinSpawnDelay:5,MaxSpawnDelay:10,MaxNearbyEntities:50,EntityId:FireworksRocketEntity,SpawnData:{LifeTime:40,FireworksItem:{id:401,Count:1,tag:{Fireworks:{Explosions:[{Flicker:1,Trail:1,Type:1,Colors:[255,16711680,16776960],FadeColors:[255,16711680,16776960]}]}}}}}
Summon

Using /summon:
Not too long ago, there was a time when mobs had to be summoned from dispensers of custom spawners made with MC-Edit. But that all changed with the addition with /summon in 1.7.2. Let's take a look at some code.

/summon <EntityName> [x] [y] [z] [dataTag]
This is the syntax for all /summon commands. Start with /summon followed by the name of the entity/mob you want to spawn E.g Pig, Sheep, PrimedTnt; for a full list of entities and their names, go HERE. After the entity's name are the coordinates of the spawn.

Following the coordinates is were some of the more complex command block functions come in; Data Tags. I'll be covering some of the more commonly used tags, but if you want to learn more you can go HERE orHERE.

So let's spawn a basic Pig:

/summon Pig ~ ~1 ~
Following this is where the data tag goes. Let's give the pig a saddle.

/summon Pig ~ ~1 ~ {Saddled:1}
See what happened there? It is very important when using tags that you open and close each tag respectively. The Saddle tag is a boolean value, meaning it is either 1 or 0. What happens if we want the pig to have a custom name as well?

/summon Pig ~ ~1 ~ {Saddled:1,CustomName:"Piggy"}
NOTE: We do not have to make a new set of brackets for every tag, simply separate each tag with a comma.

So there you go! Now you can use /summon to spawn entities with great ease. Before I finish, here is an example of the kind of things you can do with /summon.

/summon Skeleton -864 59 327 {CustomName:Skeletor,CustomNameVisible:1,SkeletonType:1,Attributes:[{Name:generic.knockbackResistance,Base:1},{Name:generic.movementSpeed,Base:0.001}],DropChances:[0f,0f,0f,0f,1.0f],Equipment:[{id:261,tag:{ench:[{id:48,lvl:1}]}},{id:301,tag:{display:{color:0}}},{id:300,tag:{display:{color:0}}},{id:299,tag:{display:{color:0}}},{id:397,Count:1,Damage:1}]}

Back To The Top

I was wondering if it would be possible to save the position of the schematics once you load them. This would help immensely when you get kicked from the server due to crashes and have to reposition the schematic every time you relog or reload the world.

This map really isnt challenging or original in any way. Sorry

I do have a Tip though, try to theme the next map and make sure the Parkour is more difficult.

Quote from Versepelles

It's possible, but not practical. If you absolutely need to pinpoint a single a single (x, y, z) coordinate, you can /testfor the intersection of two command blocks via an AND gate. Pictured below, you can /testfor the green area by joining the outputs of the blue and yellow areas. So, while it is not possible to directly /testfor a square area, you can limit a search area more than a simple radius; for an approximate square testing area, you can try joining the output of multiple command blocks to create different shapes, as shown in the bottom two screenshots. There, four search areas with r=6 are joined together via an AND gate to replicate a constrained search area- the magenta area. While this particular example results in the same area as a single command block of r=1, it still demonstrates the concept of approximation by union. I'll post a square search area in a bit.

Here is a square search area. The centers of the command block search radii are 10 away from the center of the union square, and the search radii are 14. This results in a 7x7 square when the outputs are joined by an AND gate.

Here ya go, it's about 300x300 blocks wide and I didnt add a roof for obvious reasons. If you need any changes let me know.

Quote from nzskiing

I am making a map and i want to spawn on a tree in the middle of know where but the problem is i set the spawn with spc mc edit anything and i keep spawning away form the tree and fall and die.

how can i fix this????

Thanks

The best option for spawn control is this:
Here's how to build it:

• Pick somewhere that the player will NEVER otherwise be.
• Build sqare area og let's say 16x16 blocks, with 2 high walls around it. Be sure to have an area below it for later.
• Cover the inside of the area with tripwires and hooks, that are connected to an array of command blocks below the area.
• Use these command blocks to /setspawn where you want it, as well as /tp to the desired spawn coordinates (same as in the /setspawn).

This way, the first time you spawn on the map, you will spawn inside this area, but it will immediately move the player to the correct spawn with no randomness connected to it. And afterwards, the new, correct spawnpoint will be set!

Hope that helps
