Now with more lensflare and glowing lights than ever, Huntercraft is a medieval minecraft RPG map that will knock your stockings off. Begin an adventure like no other in this minecraft medieval adventure map complete with a three headed dragon, hireable bodyguards, custom NPCs and more.
The landscapes will impress you, the story will thrill you and the dragon boss will terrify you. The windmills will be grist to whet your appetite and the simple country cottages will offer shelter from the dangerous minecraft wilds. The ships will puff their billowing white sails and the stall keepers will haggle down to the ear of corn. (more…)
A new minecraft sky survival based map, The Grid manages to be both classic and innovative. Like a titanium cravat, or a soup made of future. The Grid is comprised of a tall chain of minecraft block hollow squares, separated by minecraft hollow space. It is your task to harvest resources from the grid and ultimately create a cosy home in which to dwell.
All has become gravel in a minecraft survival map where grim landscapes and even grimmer chances of survival are the order of the day. You begin close to what was probably once a small fortress, but which is now a tattered pile of rubble. A few supplies can be scavenged here, but your hunger is already growing and food is the first thing on your mind. But where can food be found? Not growing in toxic gravel, that’s for sure.
As for wood, there is precious little of that. No trees grow in this dead land, though a few stumps are to be found hither and thither. In addition to the mob infested ruins plain to see above the ground, there are dungeons lurking beneath the gravel and sand. One may as well abandon all hope before descending, for the steep drops and the high pitched call of bats inform one that this is a trip likely to be taken in one direction only. (more…)
This is a minecraft survival island map created by an Ender Dragon, set loose to create destruction, the path of the dragon’s flight was cast in obsidian and then overlaid with ores, stone, dirt and trees to create a beautiful survival map. The result is a rather beautiful, albeit large and oddly shaped survival island in the sky. This map can be played as a traditional survival island map, or the player can choose to go ahead and spawn another Ender Dragon and watch it tear apart their entire world. (more…)
