Hey, I just got done with the first Intersection, and lemme say:
It looks really nice! I mean, REALLY NICE. the Gaia area had a interesting atmosphere to it, it was dark but at the same time really clear where the player was supposed to go (The tower looked WICKED). The tree area was incredible, as someone who can't make realistic looking giant trees if my life depended on it, that tree was an adventure to explore; who knows what little nook you could find around the corner? My favorite was the lapis city, the architecture was super cool, it gave me so many ideas for my map. The only negative things I'm noticing is the kinda weird Intersection 1 (floating water?), and that the bonus chests are set up differently each area (sand tops here, ice tops there...)
The map is amazing so far, Imma blatently copy you I'm getting so much inspiration!
Thank you all for the excellent feedback thus far! Trust me, I love large posts, a ton! Lots of feedback is awesome
My question to you guys - What do you feel could be changed? I've already removed some spawners and changed others, but I just want to know what you feel can balance it more while keeping it difficult.

Since each area was made by someone different, and sand didn't always fit the theme, we all just let the chest setups change at the maker's whim.

So.... I made it to the third intersection with all the wools so far.... enjoying this? Yes. Madness? Yes. Only one question.... Where the hell is the next intersection? I've searched all the areas. No results. Also, how to spoiler? Good luck to everyone else who gets this far. And damn you mapmakers for some of the stuff I've had to put up with. There's one area I want to go and strangle the mapmaker for, because they made it too damn HUGE!
EDIT: I'm on Intersection 4. INTERSECTION 4! And yes, I used Comic. Sans. Even though I hate CS. Now can someone help me?
Well, I can safely say that the start of the map is very interesting..but why was there tnt everywhere? Oh wait, I was just getting ready to blow everything up..muhahaha

If you're yet to find it, it's hidden away in Rumblehiss. I'll make it far more obvious next update.
Alright Pantheon people, here's my first grinder on what I hope will be a very long list. This one is powered on a wither skeleton spawner and a regular skeleton spawner. I was up almost all night grinding and enchanting. Here's the album.
The main body uses water to push the skeletons over to a chute that picks them up and drops them twenty something blocks to be whacked by a stone sword. Some of them were dying in the chute, so I set up another chute that would give me drops from those unfortunate skeletons.
Swords and bows. I intended to enchant all of these (level 30) last night, but I got bored. Some of them are level 15, but most are authentic level 30s. The ones on the bottom row are for hitting the skeletons. I've got a storage room section devoted to stone swords. Yeah.
The main loot. Coal, bones and arrows. Most of it is downstairs, this is just what I haven't had time to transport. The skulls are the main product. Once I have diamonds and a permanent base (this is just a few floors of the Citadel of Sapphire secured and repaired), I'll set up some beacons.
Blaze rod farm. Very fancy.

There ain't much left of the world these days. The gods have forsaken us, there's no denying that. But still you press on. For what? A chance to sift through the ashes one last time? The hope to one day be called a hero? Whatever your reason, you've got a lot of work to do. The corruption won't leave without a fight, so you better get started.

Brilliant grinder location choice
I'm working on patches for the next 'update' now, and both Citadel of Sapphire and Misty Deeps will be receiving some changes sometime next week, with Misty Deep going for an overhaul. This likely won't affect anyone's current downloads, as I expect people to have finished by the time we get it out, and it's a single area anyway.
However, I'll be doing some more difficulty and Quality of Life improvements to be released, hopefully tomorrow, so if anyone has ANYTHING they'd like improved, let me know.

Run Kamyu's Populate Chests through Citadel of Sapphires. All the empty loot chests are frustrating. I think I should have added some when I was adding miscellaneous details to the area. Nothing too great, maybe leather?

Imma blatently copy youI'm getting so much inspiration!I finished orange wool (burned the tree, what'd you expect) and attempted the citadel. Oh my god.
This map is so hard.

Knowing Vechs, his area is probably filled with either witches, creepers, or tnt and I like none of those.
There's absolutely no speed witches in his area. Three_Two? Heheheh.

This will be what you will sound like through the entire map:
Good luck. >
