There's no download button for this, It's a challenge as in you have to be honest enough to follow the rules on your own, make a new world, and scavenge and get supplies for the first day, at sunrise the next day, if you are still above ground then you die.
Is there an install button? because i don't see any.. :dry.gif:
Btw cool mod i really want to try it but theres no download button :ohmy.gif:

You cannot download this.
This is not a mod.
This is not a downloadable map.
This is a "challenge", which is able to be played on any map, with any variation on the rules.
This challenge rewards those who read the entire first post and rest of the thread.
this challenge is awesome and i agree with the rest of the people that if this were in a mod form like they have the mod for seasons were in summer without the armor you die from the sun and you know stuff like that, it's make this challenge a ton more badass

Well seems like a nice idea which can be implemented with some existing mods like the Pandora's box one. You would collect materials then head down as you activate the box and that will create a very harsh environment on the surface so going out at all to the surface without armor would certainly lead to death and few mobs would be outside anyways
sounds cool will try it. I'll probably make a map for it.
Also realistically it is safe to eat animals in a radiation "hot zone". YOu just have to skin the animal and discard the heart, liver and kidneys (they absorb radiation). Also you avoid eating meat near the bone (hone marrow retains radiation).
I know you made this rule to make it challenging, but i just wanted to throw this out there as a "fun fact" lol.

Hey, I'm mrfishie. I make websites and lights do cool things.
I'm glad you guys have had so much fun with this challenge. I never expected the reaction I got (And indeed, I'm a bit overwhelmed by this thread now...) but I'm very thankful for your support.
Unfortunately (As you are all aware, I'm sure), there are some new issues that weren't there when I created this challenge, like animal farming and the like. I'm also out of ideas for solutions. Here's where I beg you guys for help:
I would appreciate it if you guys post some recommended changes to the rules in simple language so that I can understand them. I'll screen them, and revise the challenge so that survival with food limitations becomes more plausible. Thanks in advance; this forum has a great community, and I know I'll get some good feedback.
Also, as I've said, I'm woefully overwhelmed by all the posts this thread gets. If there's interest, I can make a poll, and we can vote on adopting some of the user suggestions of the past.... 14 pages? Wow.
So I guess, ultimately, this is my convoluted apology for all but abandoning this thread. I just had no idea how much interest it would generate. Please forgive me! :sad.gif:
I have an idea about the animal farming.
Animals only need grass and light to spawn, so theoretically you could get them to spawn in your cave by having a grass-covered floor.
Here's how you could get the grass:
1) Set up an air-lock chamber with a dirt floor. Make sure there is grass outside!
2) Make a 1x1 hole in the wall of the chamber that creates an open path connecting the dirt in the chamber to the grass outside.
3) Don't go into the chamber while the grass slowly spreads from outside!
4) When you have a block of grass in the chamber, don your hazmat armor, seal up the hole in the wall, and flush the hole thing with a bucket of water to clean off the contamination.
5) Now simply set up a dirt path to lead your block of grass to your chosen animal pen. :smile.gif:
Congratulations! You survived the blast! Unfortunately, the world is an unfriendly place now, and there are new challenges to overcome. This is your guide, and hopefully you will survive whatever problems inevitably arise. Good luck, Survivor!
This challenge is essentially a post-apocalyptic scenario. The goal is to create the ultimate bunker for surviving the apocalypse. I searched the forums, but did not find such a challenge listed, so I thought I'd try and post one. Suggestions are welcome!
I highly reccomend the Last Days Texturepack, if you don't mind the world looking less organic. Sorta fits the apocalypse theme.
Typical of most challenges, you have one day to gather materials. I highly reccomend getting a small supply of seeds and saplings, as securing resources after the first day becomes substantially more difficult. But more on that later. It is also a good idea to have several picks and shovels, because your shelter will probably start out underground. The outer (Anything exposed to direct sunlight) walls and roof of your shelter MUST be at least three blocks thick, to dissapate the hypothetical radiation. Now for the guidelines...
RULE 1 (VERY IMPORTANT): Due to the damaging effects of a nuclear blast, the sun is especially dangerous now. Unfortunately, survivor, this means you cannot, under any circumstances, head outside during the day. Stay sheltered, and survive. If you have to, you can scavenge after sunset, but it is advised that the survivor stay in his shelter when possible.
RULE 2: It is very dangerous to touch things outside of your shelter. The fallout can and will contaminate everything directly exposed to the weather, so any mobs that are outside are off limits, including their drops, and even at night. You cannot use or (especially) consume anything that comes from a contaminated source. The survival guide reccomends cave mushrooms as a nutritious and renewable source of food.
RULE 3: Getting fresh water is somewhat difficult in the radioactive world you are now in. Any outside sources are contaminated with fallout, and cannot be used for anything inside your shelter. To get safe water, it is advised that the survivor search caves or find hidden underground lakes. Both are reasonably common, but can be challenging to obtain at first. One of your first priorities will be creating a source of clean water, so be on the lookout.
RULE 4: Your shelter: There are several guidelines to creating a safe environment in this wasteland. In addition to the thick outer walls, other precautions must be put in place. Any entrances from outside must be separated from the rest of the compound by an airlock (a small room with a door on each end). The airlock must contain a running source of clean water to clean any items that went outside with you and deposit them safely in a different room inside the compound. (That is only for bringing items in, however. Any airlock is fine without the water, your items just have to be left outside). This must be done before any outside materials can be brought into your shelter (Outdoor mobs and their drops are still off limits). Any armor that has been outside must be left in a chest inside the airlock.
Other essential rooms include a tree farm, food source (Mushrooms reccomended for their low mainatinence and high payoff), and your bedroom. For security reasons, All rooms should have doors at all entrances and exits, and large rooms (Aside from the farms) are discouraged.
Cobblestone is useful as padding for the outer walls, but is too porous to use as the exterior layer. Any exposed expansions on your shelter must be coated in smooth stone in order to be habitable.
-Extra Notes: Windows are allowed, but must be at least as thick as the wall they are on.
Variations of the rules allow fully armored survivors to safely go outside in sunlight, but the armor cannot come back into the compound. It must be left in the airlock.
(Optional) RULE 6: For the hardcore among you, the post-nuclear world is quite chilling. In order to keep the shelter safe and cozy, you must burn a unit of coal for every room in the compound, every day. Airlocks are excluded from the count. If you can get your hands on some netherrack, you just need to build a fireplace/heating room, to allow for bigger bases after you reach the nether. This would replace the coal consumption.
Thanks for reading! Please don't hate, but suggestions/improvements on the challenge are welcome. I'm sure there's a lot more creative people out there.

Kill spiders, and place string in 2x2 square in crafting table to make wool. (spiders from underground, of course.)
Now we know why there are zombies in minecraft!!!
