How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: Minecraft forums
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? None particular as I love to explore and collect. My builds usually incorporate some kind of storage system.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? I collect blocks. In that en devour, I enjoy building with and sharing said blocks.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I have played on many servers over the years. I am looking for a serious go-to for when I play, a server that has a community that supports players (and not those where players intentionally try to get others to violate rules [baiting])
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I love playing MTG and board games. I play video games merely to relax. I enjoy LARPing on the weekends with my fellow guild mates.
You find yourself crash landed in a jungle, not knowing where you are or how to get out. As you look around, you see a light behind a waterfall. Is it hope that you found? You better go check it out.
On first glance, I really love the look and feel of this map. It really had a great vibe that puts you in the right mood.
On to the review.
--Atmosphere-- --> 10 Gold blocks
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this map. It gave the right overall feel. You can really feel the "Indiana Jones" role that you're in right from the start.
A little too much reliance on vines for my liking, but that's just my take. Many areas can be greatly improved with the use of alternate blocks (adding andesite to the stone for texture, mossy stone brick instead of mossy cobblestone) and the inclusion of some natural light (like the shroomlight). Just right on the edge of a better ranking, just needs some personal touches.
--Gameplay-- --> 3 Diamond blocks
Whether you're playing on peaceful or higher, this map is really well built. Carefully placed puzzles and parkour just enough to challenge the average player. No worries if you're bad at parkour! This map maker is far more forgiving than most, although that doesn't lower the difficulty rating of the challenges, it just means that you can get back without having to waste too much time.
Not only does this map play fluidly, it also has an emphasis on exploration. For those willing to look into every nook and crack, there's plenty of treasure and goodies to be found!
I especially love how the creator used ore blocks to indicate key areas along the map. That touch isn't something that's used often, so I'm giving extra credit to the score for that. If you're the explorer or the speed runner, the markers really do help either way.
I would suggest that you include some written books to add the the lore and feel of the map. they could be totally optional, but reward those who want to really get into the feel of the story (maybe include hints to chest locations?).
--Map Time-- 5 Diamond blocks
As mentioned before, if you love exploration, this map does really reward your efforts. If you're a speedrunner, this is a great map for you as the parkour is really enhanced by the map build. It's not always easy to make parkour an integral part of a map. Most creators have parkour that just stands out, but this creator really blends it into the build so that it adds to the map instead of detracting.
Overall score: 5 Diamond blocks
Don't think too hard, just get the map and play for yourself.
(BTW: my score was 33 gold ingots, 5 diamonds)
Map Destroyed!
If you have a map that you want to get rated/reviewed, DM me and I'll do it.
(rating scale is as follows:
1-10 iron blocks = early stage map with much improvements needed
1-10 gold blocks = mid-range quality map with good content quality that can be perfected
1-10 diamond blocks = quality made map; the REAL goods
1-10 emerald blocks = Highest quality map, in build, mechanics, and play.)
