Lately i learned some cool map making tricks that could help you out:
Simple:
1. Gamerules - /gamerule command is useful for many different things and some of the hardest solutions are right in them, so i suggest researching all of them.
2. Command blocks- Making a good map can be achieved with just buildings there is even a map genre called Creation maps, although giving the map some more features with command blocks can be very efficient.
Learning command blocks can be achieved by watching tutorials, asking or looking up at Minecraft Forums
3. Building- Building good build isn't easy and not everyone can do it but the "skill" isn't the problem it's mostly the lack of creativity or laziness. But it's ok if you don't want to build your map, there are always others that will. Sometimes getting builders for your map costs.
WARNING: There are a lot of scammers, liars, hackers etc. So be careful!
Advanced:
1. Spawn Chunks- Many people don't know this but not all chunks are loaded in your world, so in not loaded chunks things such as Entities, Tiles-command blocks, redstone mechanics won't work or have any physics. But there is a thing called Spawn Chunks, this is a area of 25x25 chunks {Chunk is an area of 16x16 blocks}, this area never unloads but it has some things you have to know:
The red area, 13x13 chunks, represents where entities will be processed. This is where, for example, items would despawn or where mobs would be affected by physics. Tile entities are also processed.
The blue area, 17x17 chunks, represents where tile entities are processed, such as command blocks. Regular entities are not processed.
And the green area, 25x25 chunks, represents chunks that are loaded but nothing still functions in them. They are not really spawn chunks
Thank you Skylinerw for helping me understand this with this post- Spawn Chunks Post
I suggest placing your command blocks in the blue area: 17x17 chunks
2. Having a plan- Having a plan helps a lot, and never look up other plans from other experienced map makers, because you maybe won't enjoy that system thats why you should make your small system and following it in every map
My system: 1. "Brain Rain"- Thinking of a story for your map. This can happen at any time. For me weirdly it mostly happens on the toilet.
2. Design- Take a piece of paper or open a notepad/textedit and write down your Genre(Adventure map, Parkour map, Survival map...) and maps theme(Sci-fi, Medieval, Modern, Apocalyptic) after that under that type your story, characters etc.
3. Realization- Now you start to look at your design script and start realizing it. I mostly start making textures if needed then building with those textures and finally doing the technical stuff{Command blocks}. Of course if your map includes functions loot-tables etc. You should work on them all the time.
Now i repeat the processes and voila you made your map:
brain rain --> Design

There are many more tricks/tips but i can't tell them ALL so if you want to tell one and be a part of the thread feel free to reply. And of course if you have any question feel free to ask here or at my Minecraft Map Making discord server: https://discord.gg/jrNuvpP
Thank you very much it works before this reply i had really low knowledge on the new commands and mostly on execute but now i think i understand it. <3
So in the new 1.13 snapshot we didn't only get the new horse necks we've got a whole new level of commands, and one of the most changed it the
/execute command i tried to figure what each of them do but i just can't find a way how to test for IF an entity has a score of collapse 40 then run a commands here is the 1.12.2 format:
execute @e[score_collapse=40,score_collapse_min=40] ~ ~ ~ say hello
https://discord.gg/BsB25G8
here sry for late answer i was busy with school and life lately but i have some free time so join
i would love to hear you idea
Sorry i thought that only negative levitation is really fast /effect @p levitation 10 100 but if i use /effect @p levitation 10 254 its slow, so I'm sorry i didn't know.
Hmm that could work it will kinda mess up gliding but i think its the best option so far and negative levitation wont make you slowly fall down which would be totaly not accurate to hello neighbor.
Its gonna be a shield with certain durablity that makes it look like a closed umbrella and while blocking with it it will make it opened ill edit all json files and my friend will make the models. When player is in the air, with a shield in his selected hotbar and has a score of shield blocking 1 it will summon a invisible minecart riding a invisible chicken in which you'll be sitting only thing i need if someone has ANY idea how to make it so you can move while gliding.
[b]This is a map i started working on few days ago and i'm proud how far in how little time it has come.[/b]
[b]SO whats this map about: it's about all the brave man/woman that helped a small village called FallCrest.[/b]
[b]Chapter 1: takes place when a evil warlock captured the city and made all towns people mine gold for him, but one day a brave man was called to help and beat him.[/b]
[b]Progress:[/b]
[b]Building:So i with a great builder, built some of the village but it's not close to finishing. So if you are a great builder and want to help this map msg me on my discord Golden_Slime003#4426.[/b]
Terraform: All of the terraform was done by me on worldpainter but it can be edited in-game to with worldedit and voxel sniper [/b]
Commands: NOT CLOSE TO FINISH, but i did the tutorial and story telling+ two special items: Bombs and hover boots.[/b]
Special items will be rare items found by doing hidden quests or hidden bosses. And i want to hear your suggestions too![/b]
Hey everyone looking at this right now, well as you can see on the title i need some builders that can do RPG styled build.

Hello fella map makers,

Simple:
1. Gamerules - /gamerule command is useful for many different things and some of the hardest solutions are right in them, so i suggest researching all of them.
Useful gamerules: /gamerule CommandBlockOutput, /gamerule keepInventory true, /gamerule doWeatherCycle false, /gamerule doDaylightCycle false
2. Command blocks- Making a good map can be achieved with just buildings there is even a map genre called Creation maps, although giving the map some more features with command blocks can be very efficient.

I was looking around the internet about colored item names(Possible Generator) but no luck, if anyone knows and wants to share that would be great.
All i need to do is make colored names on my items
Thanks.

Hey me and my friend created a discord server on whitch you can discus you ideas or plan map project with other great map makers.
This server was made to make a big map makers comunity and spread the love and passion of creating minecraft maps.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In this server you can create you own teams just ask a head or an owner to make a new role and tell you who to put the role on.

Hmm that could work it will kinda mess up gliding but i think its the best option so far and negative levitation wont make you slowly fall down which would be totaly not accurate to hello neighbor.

Hey guys I'm trying to make a small concept from Hello Neighbor game which is the Umbrella.
If you don't know what does umbrella do in Hello Neighbor here is a little info:
When opened and in air you glide and have ability to move in air while slowly falling to your death... na just kidding to the ground.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
How will this work?
Its gonna be a shield with certain durablity that makes it look like a closed umbrella and while blocking with it it will make it opened ill edit all json files and my friend will make the models. When player is in the air, with a shield in his selected hotbar and has a score of shield blocking 1 it will summon a invisible minecart riding a invisible chicken in which you'll be sitting only thing i need if someone has ANY idea how to make it so you can move while gliding.
Thanks for reading and answering this thread!
