In Hamster Land Survival. You’re in bedrock wire cage inside a bedroom large enough to lose yourself in six times over. Not seven times over, six times over. I like to be specific about these things. Basically, you’re a hamster. A hamster trapped inside an unnaturally bright cage designed to appeal to your juvenile human owners, not to you. Your share your mission with every pet hamster in the world – survive, survive at all costs!

The map is massive, mostly because of the massive bedroom that acts as little more than backdrop to your struggle for life and sustenance. I can respect that, even though it does take quite a wee while for it to convert to Anvil. At the present time the Polish version is the one that doesn’t suffocate the player upon spawning and isn’t stuck in creative mode. So download that one if the English one does its best to destroy you.

This is a fun little map that anyone who loved Minecraft Fish Tank Survival or Minecraft Sandbox Survival, or Minecraft Chest Survival will probably also love.

The premise of this map is simple: jump from the very top of the map down to bedrock without dying. In other words, dive through the sky. Hm. Yes. We begin to see where some of these mysterious terms come from, don’t we? This minecraft map is pretty much a minecraft remake of AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity.

Skydive Minecraft is suitable for both single player and multiplayer server play, so you and all your friends can jump together, finally answering the age old question: If all your friends were going to jump off a tower, would you do it too? Yes. As it turns out, you totally would.

If you’re playing in singleplayer without mods, you have a bit of a hike to the top, but vine travel is very comfortable these days and you can just sit back and enjoy the journey. You’re going to wish minecraft had some kind of auto run/ climb button, but the work taken getting to the top will totally be worth it. Maybe next time the spawn will be at the top. Maybe it won’t. There’s no fun in climbing Mount Everest if you’re born at the top of it. After a while, you forget that you’re climbing and it starts to feel like a really slow horizontal race against nothing.

The other gift the climb gives you is a very real appreciation of just how far you’ll be falling once you make the dive. It’s a long way down. A very long way. In fact, this map may actually give you a sense of vertigo.

Once you start playing you’ll probably die quite a lot. The flying mechanic isn’t exactly sorted in minecraft and getting your line right is a difficult task at the best of times. Still, a new challenge is always a welcome thing in minecraft, isn’t it? If all those islands were getting stale, this is the sort of thing that will shake you up and make you grateful for solid ground.

At first, this seems to be one of those maps that would be awesome if only you could work out what you’re supposed to be doing. I’d therefore classify this as a difficult parkour / survival map, made all the more difficult by the fact that the castle you’re jumping around is very, very high in the sky, so any slip means a long drop followed fairly quickly by a respawn.

This is not a map for parkour beginners, this is a map for people who have honed their skills, who see possibilities where others only see dead ends. Castle Jump requires the reflexes of a capuchin and the fearlessness of a pitbull. Can you beat this hard minecraft parkour map?

Treasure Farm is an almost dead farm waiting to be carefully tended back to life by a player with a green stump. (Minecraft Steve doesn’t really have fingers or thumbs, does he?)You start out on a large chunk of dirt with a bit of sand floating about the place too. Your job is to farm this chunk with all of your farmer-ly might.

In order to create a farm, you’re going to have to unearth all the hidden chests (this is where the ‘treasure’ part of things comes in). It’s a simple premise for a simple map – which is almost always an indication of a very good minecraft survival map in my experience.

Want challenges? There’s more challenges for this minecraft map than space to list them, that’s how many challenges there are.Treasure farm has a bunch of mod specific challenges too, so if you’re playing with Mo’Creatures, Pam’s Harvestcraft, or More Creeps and Weirdos those mods can be incorporated into your survival experience. I’m liking this emerging trend of including mods in maps, as long as they’re optional, maps that require mods aren’t as fun because mods are still cumbersome to install and uninstall.

Whether you’re looking for a simple minecraft survival map, or a survival map that is fun to play with mods, I recommend Treasure Farm.

Cleardell Island is a sandy beach island located in the middle of a beautiful, seemingly endless, blue sea. As it turns out, it doesn’t really much matter if the sea is endless or not becauase you’re not allowed off the island.

There’s an (optional) mod that comes with this map, a melon juice mod. Your mission, if you choose to installit, is to plant melons, craft adorable little glass cups and survive solely on melon juice. I heartily approve of this challenge because it is a charming break from the usual ‘build a house’, ‘build a cobblestone generator’ challenges, which are also included with this map beecause tradition. One of these days I’m going to build a survival map made entirely out of cobblestone and still insist that people build a generator.

Anyway, Cleardell island is a pretty solid survival island map, something fresh and summery for the long winters in the northern hemisphere. There’s a lot of sand to deal with, a few palm trees to sip your melon juice under and a bunch of challenges to keep you entertained until help doesn’t come.
