Skyblock Warriors is a fun PvP style minecraft map perfect for minecraft PvP’ers who like a bit of a challenge. In Skyblock Warriors, each player starts off on his or her own little bit of sky. The task is then to build to a point where you are able to build bows and arrows. This is basically a very short PvP minecraft map, the winner being decided by who can build a cobblestone generator the quickest and create a skybridge to the very limited resources.

Can  you survive the wave of zombies coming your way? Probably not, but holed up inside an abandoned McDonalds, you might as well do your best to try, as having your brain eaten sometimes offends. This is a multiplayer minecraft survival map, designed for up to four people. Or one, terribly unfortunate person. Is it difficult? Yes, it is fairly difficult, or as we in gaming-land like to say ‘challenging’.

Be warned that the map starts very quickly once you get inside the McDonalds and the zombies are relentless. You will learn to hate button operated iron doors if you don’t already – because nothing is worse than trying to get through a door that is only open for half a second whilst zombies pummel the back of your head. You are provided with some armor in McDonald’s colors. I call it armor, it’s really just dyed leather and offers about as much protection as a thin spreading of olive oil. The only ray of hope in the whole affair are the storage chests and the drink dispensers, where some useful potions and raw foodstuffs can be found.

No crafting is allowed in this minecraft survival map, though anvils are provided so you can repair your tools and armor in between zombie attacks. There’s really not an awful lot of time ‘in between’, nor are there a lot of materials to repair your items with, so don’t get your hopes up, this is probably a losing battle. Especially if you’re playing singleplayer without the help of comrades and allies.

I also noted that occasionally a random creeper will spawn inside the restaurant, adding further chaos to the mix. There’s really no guarantee of safety anywhere in the map, except in the freezer room, (until Jeb teaches zombies to open redstone doors, anyway). Retreat, run, fight, survive, die, it’s all the same in the end.

The animated tools and weapons featured in this article are part of the Broken Anachronism 64x Texture Pack, which is in development for minecraft 1.5. Designed with a Steampunk aesthetic in mind, these minecraft tools are animated with working mechanisms. No pretty but useless spinning wheels and cogs here, every moving part makes sense and serves a purpose. The first spinning doodad you see featured above is the diamond axe or hatchet, used for chopping down trees. The rotating blade cuts through wood at twice the speed of its iron counterpart.

This is the diamond pick, for instance. In true Steampunk style, it has been turned into a spring loaded pick, pushed down by a wheel driven wedge and then snapped back into place by the strong spring at the top of the tool. The detail for this minecraft pick even goes so far as to including the recoil resulting from the spring action.

Broken Anachronism is a brilliant texture pack, in addition to these whirling bits of high end Steampunk machinery, it also features the earlier tiers of tooling. The wood items are especially amusing, based on the concept that they are only slightly more effective than using one’s hands for the task. So the wooden shovel becomes a wooden spoon, the wooden hoe becomes a prosthetic leg and the axe is a battered old reclaimed stop sign. This is, therefore, the perfect texture pack for anyone looking for HD minecraft Steampunk textures – or even those playing an apocalypse style map. There is a certain ‘reclaimed technology’ feel to this texture pack that fits with the world as we know it having gone down the gurgler.

This is the leg your father farmed with and his father’s father farmed with, so get mashing that boot into the soil, we’ve got crops to grow!

In spite of the impressive features, no mods are required to play, simply download the map and start playing it, either on your own or with friends. The ideal number of players is anywhere from one to three. If you are bereft of friends to play with, you can always join the Hypixel adventure lobby server, where you’ll find plenty of friends to toil and battle and best bosses with. (more…)

You’ve survived in the ocean, you’ve survived in the sky. You’ve survived in a bottle and you’ve survived in an Ant Farm. Now it is time to survive on a pancake. Seriously. Do it. Survive minecraft on a pancake.

Pancake minecraft survival is a map made by the creator of Ocean Block. The creator felt that Ocean Block was too kind to the player, Pancake Survival is an attempt to set things right, or wrong, depending on your perspective.

You begin the map on a flat plane of dirt with a little pool of lava and a sole villager who will no doubt make a beeline for that lava as soon as he gets the chance. The initial chest is filled with obsidian, for people who enjoy building portals, and that’s all of us. There’s also some cocoa beans and flint. Because that’s all you need. Oh, and there’s also one tree of every kind, which makes things easy, if by easy you mean ‘full of wood’.
