Have you ever been playing Minecraft and said to yourself "Man, I wish this could be harder... I haven't died nearly enough today."? In the spirit of I Wanna Be the Guy and Kaizo Mario World, these game maps will be very difficult. It could be low amounts of a critical resource, or deviously placed monster spawners, traps, or just general meanness on my part, I want to take the normal Minecraft experience and really put pressure on the player.
The main objective of my maps is to find and complete the Victory Monument. This is a structure with slots on it for blocks. To win a Super Hostile map, you must place each of the requested blocks in the appropriate slot on the Victory Monument. There are 16 colors of wool blocks to find, and also in older maps, the 3 material blocks, of iron, gold, and diamond.
CTM stands for Complete the Monument, which is the genre my Super Hostile series created. Unlike Adventure maps, which typically have very rigid rules and restrictions, CTM maps are about playing Minecraft in a mostly normal fashion, but with a goal to work towards.
Super Hostile Standard Rules:
1) Find and complete the Victory Monument.
2) Find wool in chests (Fleecy Boxes) or on special boss enemies (Fleecy Mobs) scattered around the map, do NOT use dyes or spider string for wools!
3) You may craft the Iron, Gold, and Diamond blocks.
4) Use at least Easy difficulty, and never Peaceful. (I balance around Normal.)
5) Do not leave the boundaries of the map and go into normally generated Minecraft terrain.
6) Survive in any way you can think of. (Yes, you can mine, craft, and place blocks.)
7) You may use spider string wool and sheep wool to craft beds and other items, but not for the Victory Monument.
8) You may not pick up, craft, or move Ender Chests.
For the most part, Super Hostile is like playing Minecraft normally, but it's more difficult and you have a long-term goal to work towards. Also you may find yourself in some unusual terrain. Oh, and the map is designed to kill you, so keep that in mind.

And lastly, here is a bunch of legal stuff. The short version is: feel free to make videos about my maps, watching people play helps me make better maps; please don't rip-off my work and claim it as your own; and please don't upload my work to other websites.
Users are free (and encouraged) to create videos of the MAPS and share the videos online, using websites such as YouTube. Users are also free to include advertisements and monetize their videos of my maps. Watching people play my maps is by far the best way for me to learn how to make better maps. If you have made video's or LP's (Let's Play series) of my maps, then thank you very much!

Not hard at all, not that much mobs, nor puzzles. Tons of easily accessible resources. Mostly for newbs.WOODEN TOOLS
A bit difficult, some mobs, maybe some puzzles. Less resources, and may contain a monster spawner or two. Similar to regular Minecraft.STONE TOOLS
Not too difficult, will contain mobs. Contains much less resources, and will contain spawners. Similar to regular Minecraft.STONE TOOLS
Difficult, a lot of mobs. Not a lot of resources, and may contains a bit too much spawners. Similar to hardcore mode of regular Minecraft. Obviously not recommended to those without battle training.IRON TOOLS
Extremely difficult, may contain a ridiculous amount of mobs and puzzles, and a lot of traps. Too many spawners for regular players, and those without training may not even survive for seconds.DIAMOND TOOLSIt is important to know, however, this difficulty rating system I developed is based on conquering the dungeon, NOT getting the wool. Also, tools are recommendations, and they only relate to the difficulty of the dungeon. It's not necessary to have these levels.

I want to add to this, the reason why people want to make longer is because they feel that it may attract more people to play their maps and new mapmakers tend to stick to Vechs' style of mapping which is to only use one base block and try to make more areas at the expense of the quality of their areas since they probably feel that longer maps makes it more fun for people to play it.
This also leads to another little bit of thing I wanna say, I think I've said this before but I think it got ignored, almost all maps nowadays have the same thing, evil and they always say the maps are super difficult. Everyone always say that they are the most evil people in the entire game and make everything super difficult and say that you'll never beat the map, I know Vechs kinda started it with his map series being "Super Hostile™" and now, all I see in almost every single map series is this "You'll never finish the map" and "It's soooo difficult" while they are rarely map series that are meant to be easy throughout.
tl;dr Look at the top of my banner
These are just my two dollars(Get it) on some of the things that have been bugging me since I started CTM maps, I may be completely wrong and everyone may hate me for this but this is my opinion on things.
