Okay I've gone from worried that it would happen to resigned that it was inevitable to now able to accept it: I have no desire at all to continue doing anything with Minecraft. It's sad, but I've just moved on. There is not enough time to play every game I want to play and I have to cut some out, and Minecraft - after literally years - is one of those games.
That said, OceanBlock 4.1 in its current state will always be available for download. I have no plans on removing it from the server its on and that server is my own personal site that I have no plans on discontinuing, ever. I will also continue to visit the forum and this thread in particular, of course.
Also, if someone would like to take a try at maintaining the map and bringing it up to the current version, I wholeheartedly support that. I may even play it, eventually
Sorry to anybody who feels led on by this. I truly thought that the past few weeks' of extra spare time would afford me a chance to work on the map, but I've just had 0 desire to do so. And I don't think that will change.
It's a pity. I hope someone else will continue this. I think, there's not so much to add for 1.7. The only biome that needs to be added is flower forest - то get the new flowers. Other things to add on the island are two new trees, four new two block tall flowers (you need to have a flower to grow another of its kind, you cannot grow them by using bone meal on grass, as I know), and probably a fern (having a fern, now you can grow new ones). And to fix slimes. All other renewable things can be got using already existing resources.
The only problem is to keep this map as cool as it is now, because 5thHorseman managed to put all the resources in a very compact, neat, and beautiful island.
I would try to make an updated OceanBlock but I don't have the necessary skills or know how. I could try in a creative world, maybe.
No worries, as I plan to update the map myself...I have the know how, and pretty much know exactly what I am going to do to update it to 1.7. So once I get everything settled in RL, I should have time soon to work on it...

Well thats sad, I was looking forward to an Oceanblock 5.0, I may be able to tinker with it and update it for 1.7 if that is ok with you 5thHorseman...
I not only don't mind this, I encourage it! Make your own thread for it and post here and I'll update the first post. I will link to all versions posted here and won't have a ton of time to devote to checking them out, so will preferentially list maps from names I recognize and maps reported to be good.
Hey 5thHorseman, I actually did manage to update Oceanblock to 1.7....and I named it OceanBlock 5.0! You can find my thread here! (As per your request for me to start my own thread.) Look at it and see if you like it, and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the work! I've updated the first post. I like the idea for the spawn room.
I've been thinking about posting my version of Oceanblock here as I am not sure it actually warrants a new thread as it is just an updated version of an ongoing map.

Should I start a new thread or continue it here?
I've already updated the map to 1.7 you can check it out here.

I say post a new thread. That way if someone has a problem with it they can ask there for help. If several people ask here about several maps, it could get quite confusing which map was which.

You were not the only one to have updated the map. I updated my own copy before 5thHorseman even made his anouncement about leaving his map development to others. Not that it matters now. but it has given me an idea. Instead of creating two seperate threads about Oceanblock 5.0, how about putting two different updates in the same thread. May, or may not, be possible as there are a few differences between them. I'll have a look at yours and see what is what between them.
Reviving this thread to post my final let's play video for this series, in which I kill the EnderDragon:
Thanks so much to 5thHorseman for this map, and to him and everyone else for being so active in this thread. The ability to share progress and discuss strategy is a big part of what made playing through this map so enjoyable.
I do also plan to complete my Pancake Survival series, stay tuned for updates on that!

I quit off and on myself on just about all my games because I need a break. Hope to see you back sometime! (yes I totes necroposted on this but it was new to me! ) OceanBlock is in my top 5 surv maps of all time.

Yay!! I recently downloaded MegaTrain's updated version of Skyblock, so I'm glad there is one for OceanBlock as well. Coming back to MC after quite the hiatus means that my favorite maps are mostly all outdated.

Dumb question, I just started playing, I've gotten to the nether and started making cobblestone. I made my first furnace, but for some reason I cant make charcoal. Is this a rule with this map or is something wrong?
