The times, they are medieval good sirs and ladies. And your adventure is beginning in a land where the dragons of legend might very well exist. This minecraft adventure map uses a lot of the solid RPG tropes, like having to satisfy grumpy guards who want you to go into ruins to find swords for them. I was rather reminded of FF8 at the outset, of the dungeon where one fights the Brothers. If only minecraft had a way to program your very own villains right into the game – to breathe speech onto mobs. But I digress.

This is a map with one mission: to elevate the humble diamond hoe to a new level in the minecraft community. For years a diamond hoe has been considered about as useful as a bathtub full of sand, but Hoe-Craft Minecraft Puzzle Map puts the diamond hoe at the forefront of all things. Nothing can be achieved without your hoe. So love your hoe. Treat your hoe well, and upgrade it whenever the opportunity presents itself.

The map has been made in the portal genre, which means you better be proficient at tossing cubes into other cubes. Placing blocks has no place here! This map contains elements from the puzzle and parkour genres, not to mention a certain soupcon of adventure. This is not a map for those who want to mine and craft, this is a map for people who want to best the devious mind that devised it.

Like other maps I’ve reviewed recently, this map uses the cutting edge command block technology included in the latest minecraft snapshot. So you’ll need to be proficient in .jar switching in order to play.

Four dead cities and over a hundred books scattered over 4000 minecraft meters squared make a minecraft survival map that is at once beautifully made and post-apocalyptic. Letters from a Dead Earth is not content with merely being one of the most amazing urban survival minecraft maps I’ve ever played, it also contains a deep story that you can choose to piece together or ignore entirely as you rampage through abandoned cities, wielding diamond swords and hurling arrows at aggressive mobs.

The world has ended, but you’re still here and the end is yours to explore, yours to conquer, yours to make a new life in. This is a stunning, massive and open ended map that will see you immersed in a world beyond the world you know.

Are there challenges? No. Which I love. I cannot tell you how tired I am of the idea that a survival map needs to tell you to harvest 100 pieces of rotted flesh, or make a pig farm. In this map the story surrounds you as you piece together the cataclysmic events that took place and lead to the destruction all about you. If you want to farm cows or mine 50 pieces of coal, that’s your business – the map doesn’t need to stipulate that as a condition of play because you’ll be too busy climbing, conquering and maybe even griefing the mega builds all around you.

Are you ready to venture into a terrifying forest where dark horrors await around every corner? Are you ready to experience the full power of the new minecraft adventure mode?

Slender’s Forest minecraft horror adventure map uses the new command block to allow you to choose your own difficulty settings. You can play it on day time mode, or night time mode. For greater atmosphere, play the map on night time mode. The scary warnings and slowed walk are a little less scary during the daytime. Slowed walk you ask? Yep. Not content with creating a dark forest maze the creator curses you with a Slowness II potion. So there’s no chance of running from those terrors, or to safety.

This map has a simple goal. Collect all eight threatening notes and trade them for parts of a key that will enable you to escape the Slender Forest. Sounds simple, right? Well, as simple as walking in almost total darkness whilst all around you deadly beasts lurk just waiting for you to make accidental eye contact can ever be.

What’s wonderful about this map is that it is something new in the world of minecraft maps, something that takes advantage of the new features and creates a little world you must conquer with your mind. You’re locked into adventure mode, so don’t even thinking about breaking blocks or crafting a weapon to defend yourself with. There’s no leaping parkour, no tricksy puzzles. Just you and the deep fears that lurk in dark forests. The difficulty comes in keeping your cool and not making the same mistake twice – or once for that matter.

Two thin concentric circles of life giving earth intersect beneath your feet and rise high into the sky. Gravity is not your friend. Your friends are not your friends. You’re all alone here, against the elements and the bending earth.

The Wheel of Misfortune is a fickle minecraft survival map, it might reward you or it might destroy all your hopes and dreams in a single instant. Sort of like life, but with the option to re-extract the file and run the game from the beginning again. The challenge is in building structures that will not only keep you safe, but allow you to access all the structures that hover in the void, so close and yet so far.

Are there challenges? Of course there are, so those of you who don’t feel a map is complete unless someone is daring you to make a stack of bricks will have that particular itch scratched in totality. A little bit sky island, a little bit MC Escher painting, Wheel of Misfortune will stretch your minecraft survival skills to their very limits and beyond.
