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.
As minecraft grows and becomes more complex, its builds like this that remind us what minecraft was about even in the days where there were no doors and the idea of a bed you could sleep in was sheer madness. Oh we’ve come a long way from alpha, but the spirit of minecraft is still intact. Even before the adventure update, you could always have adventures in minecraft, by exploring the contents of your mind and building them so that all might see and understand.
Or, if you’re feeling less poetic about things, this is just an awesome, complex, steampunk build and it’s going to be gosh darned fun living in it, or destroying it. (I know at least one of you will download this and have at it with the leavings of slain creepers.)
