Hello Minecraft-Community, this is my first post in the English Minecraft-Forum (normally I'm posting in the German forum, so sorry for any written mistakes), but now about the topic:

10 months ago I started my first major project in Minecraft which is bigger than anything I've built before. My idea was to build a massive road network with all important things as road signs, road markings and also different types of roads (e.g. Autobahnen or country roads). But as we all know it is nearly impossible to build realistic roads in Minecraft and that's why I used the RoadWorks mod to make my roads look realistic. I also used the Biomes O' Plenty mod to have a more realistic and diverse landscape.

Enough text now a map from above where you can see all of the roads (right click "open in new tab" to zoom):

Nothing shows better how big the world is than this Video:

Cinematic:

Here is the download of my map. You will need some mods and you should follow the install instructions that I've written down in a README. Please never use my map on PUBLIC servers or upload it again without asking me. You can make videos about it but you have to link this thread or my YouTube channel in your description. The following Mods are required:

I hope you write criticism and opinions under this thread to show me if you like this project and the idea behind it or if you don't like it.

I have a question, what world / map viewer did you use for the image in the original post?

I used a Tool called Minecraft OverViewer. With it you can view your maps in Google Maps.

Hello Minecraft Community,

my last Parkour map Dungeon Jumper 1 (German)[http://minecraft.de/showthread.php?120198-Parcour-Dungeon-Jumper] was built in 2014. Now it is time for a sequel. As the name says it is a dungeon-styled parkour map where you have to parkour through a gigantic temple. Every parkour is much more challenging than the previous ones and there are many traps and jumps that try to prevent you from succesing. When completing a level and also during the level itself you will earn Token with which you are able to buy shortcuts in the shop.

Features:

- 9 completely different dungeon-styled levels
- a bonus level and many hidden secrets and Token
- a shop-system to buy shortcuts
- many different traps and parkours. From easy piston-puzzles to heavy sand-falling passages.

- The download includes an English and German version

Trailer:

And now have fun

PS: Please leave critisism and your opinions down below.
PPS: This map is really difficult and I personally would not recommend playing it if you are new to this genre.

I don't think the forest likes my new highway ^^ But I also planted many new trees and the most of the time I terraformed the landscape to integrate the road perfectly in the it. The 2 lanes are also on different heights.

As all of my Videos were some kind of "driving on the Roads-Videos" I tried to make a real Cinematic to just not show the Roads, but also the cities, bridges and tunnels. I'm not that good in creating epic Videos with awesome music but I used my hole day to create this Video:

The best blocks in Minecraft are Stonebricks. Why?

- They were the only good feature of the adventure Update (beta 1.8)

- I use them since they exist in every survival world to build my underground systems

- They are neutral

- They are the only use for my cobblestone. When I build my underground systems I get many Cobblestone => Cleanstone => Stone Bricks

Brilliant! I can see you know how to do decent curves. The extra biomes really make it shine, though they could have been replicated on a server with the use of worldedit or Voxelsniper.

Thank you very much that you have written what exactly you find good. For me personnally is it much better to not only hear "AWESOME" which is nice but not meaningful ^^

Amazing map! I really like the development that you've done here! I went ahead and made a YouTube video featuring your map if you don't mind! The viewers seem to really like it too! If you wanna see the video it'll be right here:

This is amazing! Great job buddy nice to see in English (this is the first comment of probaly hundreds!)

PETITION DETAILS
In 1.3 we got new types of wood that correspond to the log they come from, but only 3 blocks are actually those colors: the normal blocks, slabs, and stairs. Lets add more.
All of these are for aesthetics.

Each idea is rated by a 5 star rating of their importance of being added.
= Probably shouldn't be added
= Probably won't be added
= Good Chance
= Could be added
= Should be added at all costs

Crafting
There could be two ways that crafting works.

IDEA 1: The output of the crafted item will be based on which wood type is most used. If there is a tie between the items, the output item will be oak type.

IDEA 2: By Ouatcheur, Crafting the items will of course, be the exact same, but trying to crafting something will multiple colors will give you the color that is used the most in the ingredients. In case of a tie, the 'winning' color will always be the one from the ingredient that has the smallest Block-ID (or damage value, for tied-in-number ingredients that all have the same smallest Block-ID).

Multicolored Buttons

To me, the way buttons mixed into the block they're made of was a great hidden redstone advantage. Adding multicolored buttons won't be too much, just a way so you can hide buttons on multiple wood types.

Multicolored Plates
The same reason behind the buttons, plates can be hidden to the block they're made of, plus can be used for tables.

Multicolored Sticks
Multicolred sticks would open up new available colored blocks. The sticks, however, will not create multicolored tools.

One problem though is that the texture of the current sticks is the same color scheme as the spruce planks, so either the Oak sticks will have a new color, or the Spruce sticks will be darker than their block color scheme.

Multicolored Doors, Fence Gates and TrapDoors
If anything, doors appear on every house, and it would be nice for the doors to match colors of their houses. Trapdoors, and fence gates too could match multicolored fences and the color of houses.
Fences gates will also have their type depended normal, so different sticks or planks will be no different.

Multicolored Fences
A commonly suggested idea, obviously since fences are used a lot. They match many aesthetic perspectives for biomes.

Multicolored Chests and Trapped Chests
What belongs in every house and is needed by every Minecrafter? Yes it's chests you dummy.
Why not? Their wood colored, great decor, and they don't have any current aesthetic advantages.
This would also include Trapped Chests. No better way to make a trap insuspicious than disguising it as a regular looking chest.

Multicolored Bookshelves
As a full block itself, bookshelves should've been color compatible in the first place.

Multicolored Signs
Suggested by Fortanono.
Color signs add an aesthetically appeasing decoration so you can make letters mix into the background, and make those fancy couches.
Also, due to how dark Spruce and Dark Oak is, the text for them will be automatically colored white to make them easy to read.

Multicolored Ladders
Suggested by numerous souls.
Color ladders makes your wood colored house more appeasing, blinding into a block's background, and adding more decoration options.

Multicolored CraftingTables
Crafting tables are largely composed of the wood texture, making them stick out like a sore thumb. Although not having large decorative uses, it can make houses more symmetrical.

Multicolored Beds
If they ever implement wool color based beds, this could go along with it, quintupling the possible mixes. Of course that would also make a complete mess of inventory... so this probably shouldn't and won't be added.


Multicolored Pistons
Believe it or not, this revolutionary redstone objects are decorational as well. They can be used as fancy tables so multicolors could help you with your interior, plus, can help you hide the pistons with the wood background.
(Pictures Coming Soon)

Multicolored JukeBoxes and NoteBlocks
Although they're largley different from wood textures, they can pimp up your houses. Note blocks can have their song sections color-coded to keep your songs organized.
I maybe abandon this idea. There's a question in the poll if you want to support it staying or leaving.
(Pictures Coming Soon)

Multicolored Item Frames
It's a bit unfair that your stuck with the birch wood for your item frames. Like signs, the multicolored item frames could mix into their backgrounds, making it more appeasing.

Multicolored Boats
Whats a better way of sprucing up (pun intended) your docks than having boats of different colors? Better yet, you could have boat races with different colors!
When these boats crash they will drop planks and sticks according to their type.

Pictures
I mocked up some photos for what the blocks might actually look like. I wasn't able to take pictures of placed bookshelf blocks because the side textures messed up.

There is also a mod containing the fences and pressureplates that someone has brought to me.
