Hey all, recently, I've played many maps, the Tree of Life, the Wizard Burgmund, Parkour maps, etc. and I've been wondering, how do you create Maps?
I know I may sound dumb or idiotic but please bear with me, must I do the same like installing a map to Minecraft? Should I start the maps in Survival or Creative? Do I need a certain plugin or add-on before I publish the maps? I'd appreciate it very much if you would help me or even send me a link from Youtube on how to create one, thank you very much for your attention
Many start with a blank map in creative. They generate the map how they want it and then build onto it. Many maps require a massive amount of blocks to be placed, so they use mods like SinglePlayerCommands or programs like MCEdit. Publishing maps only requires a file-hosting site, such as Mediafire or Dropbox or something; and a post with pictures of your map on the forums with a link to the map on the file hosting site. Also, some people make their own private Bukkit server with plugins that help them with building their map.
Here is a map that I made, note how in the last picture you can see that I just built it in the sky. The walls of the place we built with WorldEdit, a plugin for SinglePlayerCommands.
