This extensive 6000 x 4000 minecraft world map download is pretty perfect for anyone looking for a custom built minecraft world with custom built villages. If you’re tired of wandering through ‘randomly generated’ territory it’s time to explore something created a little more intentionally – both with your friends and complete strangers who might happen to stumble on to your server in an eternal search for lava and flint and steel.

Look at this minecraft town! It is made of wheat! And medieval peasants. Ha! Toil in the fields, peasant, toil from dawn to dusk. But download this minecraft custom map first.

This is a rather beautiful and very simple minecraft custom map, inspired by Skyrim’s farming lowlands. Although, to be fair, if it were staying close to Skyrim style lore, each farm would have maybe eight potatoes and eight wheat and eight carrots, and then there would be a custom NPC who would inexplicably pay you gold for having picked their tiny crops.

MinecraftMadness64 is the handle of a minecraft builder who has spent the last three hours enthralling me with his complex minecraft creations, which have included everything from military barracks to town houses to a castle that Rapunzel would have never left no matter how many princes came her way. If you like attention to detail and a medieval aesthetic, you’ll love this guy’s videos, and his builds, many of which are available for you to download, both in minecraft map form and MC Edit schematic.

His tutorial on how to build epic things is particularly useful for anyone who feels tiny and insignificant when faced with the massive builds some other minecraft builders create. It’s also an excellent tutorial with regards to making your minecraft structures look detailed and impressive. Anybody can built a big stone box, but it takes a little bit of skill to create a big stone box that makes people’s jaws drop when they see it. Minecraft building is about aesthetics and design, and Mr Madness understands those concepts very well. His use of cobblestone walls, stairs and half-blocks is particularly impressive, as is the way he can transform buildings from the mundane to the sublime.

So whether you’re looking to download some medieval buildings for your server map, or if you’re wanting to learn how to build better minecraft structures, you’ll find something of value in MinecraftMadness’ frankly epic body of work. (Now place a stone button on the end of that log, there you go.)

There’s nothing like a really talented minecraft builder to make you feel simultaneously full of awe and embarrassed at your own building skills. Awerassed is the name for this sort of emotion, and you better get ready to feel a whole lot of Awerassment as you check out this incredible Steampunk minecraft build that was inspired by Dishonored architecture, but also puts me in mind of Miyazaki’s animation work.

Check out this minecraft architect’s download page to keep up with this build!
