In this minecraft survival map, your own survival isn’t the only thing at stake. You have a greater purpose – to ensure that the four villagers stuck inside minecarts who depend on you for their very lives are kept safe from zombie hordes. Volcano survival isn’t a survival map in the traditional sense of the word of course, it’s more of a ‘waves of combat’ map, a term for which has not properly been coined yet. In between waves of hostile mobs you can make use of a redstone supported currency system that allows you to buy useful things, like more life, and maybe less death.
There’s something a little bit tower defense like about this game, mostly because each wave earns you currency which you can spend on trying to survive the next round. Unfortunately there are no turrets to place, which would come in handy, especially if you’re playing this as a single player. You can, however, upgrade your weapons and armor in between rounds, so in a sense, you are the turret. Aum. Be the turret.
With over forty waves of terrible mobs to fight off, and command block commands making things as difficult as possible for you, getting through all forty waves of attackers is quite the task. Also quite the task is getting the achievements in the achievement room. That’s right, this map comes with its own Steam Style achievement system, credits and viewing platform for the awesome amount of redstone involved in its construction.
Seriously, this map is a monument to the redstone circuit.
