This beautiful minecraft steampunk island map is available for download now, so you can experience the beauty of Steamshire. There’s also a custom minecraft steampunk texture pack you can download with it, so you can have the full steampunk island experience.

Though it isn’t an adventure map or a survival, it’s still very much worth the download, simply for the fun of walking through it and seeing what can be done with a bunch of stacked blocks. And that’s always been the beauty of minecraft, hasn’t it? The fact that minecraft is a place where dreams take flight, where almost anything can be built if one is willing to take the time and energy to create it.

I’m going to start this minecraft survival map review with a warning: do not let the poisoned villager out of the solitary village blacksmith’s house. He is not in his right mind and he will run right off the edge of the world if you’re not careful.*

This simple island style of minecraft survival map is by far and away my absolute favorite. I love the simplicty of these maps, as well as the challenge that comes from having limited space and limited resources. Sky Flat is especially challenging as a quick peek over the edge reveals this map to be but one block thick.

From the creator of Wheel of Misfortune comes SPACE MINES, a sky island style minecraft survival map. Though it looks like all those other minecraft sky island maps, the creator has promised that it has the power to destroy hopes and dreams, which personally excites me.

You see, this isn’t just another minecraft sky survival map. This is a minecraft adventure survival sky map, or similar words to that. It has a storyline, whilst also encouraging you to make a melon farm – so something for people who like to complete tasks, and also something for people who like to have meaning in their lives.

Wormhole Survival is a classic skyblock style minecraft survival map – with a twist. See all those islands in the teaser picture? Think you can just build yourself a cobblestone bridge between them all and call it a day? No I say unto you, nay! The only way to reach the various islands is to be teleported between them. Doesn’t sound too bad so far, right?

Wrong!

Unfortunately for you, you’ll be teleported at random whenever the map decides that it has had enough of you being in one particular spot. This means that you can’t simply build a cosy little base, farm some wheat and declare the map finished, because no sooner have you made your first loaf of bread than you’ll find yourself on another island entirely, with no resources besides the ones in your deep minecraft pockets. This adds a definite edge to the game of minecraft survival and more than that it is a truly original minecraft survival map. I bolded that because originality becomes rarer the further we go along.

Every sunset and sunrise, you’ll find yourself being ripped away from whatever you know and teleported to a new biome. There you must survive, collect resources and hope that your next trip in ten minutes or so takes you somewhere nice. If you’re low on health and you end up in the ‘bedrock and a piece of ice’ biome, you’ll be in trouble. This is, for obvious reasons, a very exciting new minecraft survival map.

Tuff Terrain is some seriously psychidelic, fractal stuff. It’s also a series of two awesome minecraft survival maps, one being in the survival island / sky block scheme of things, the other being a fractal desert that is more beautiful than I can express with these limited words. Un-englishable, as a certain fellow used to say. Surviving the map is one thing, not falling into the void whilst staring at the unquestionable beauty of irregular regularity is quite another.
