These totally exist.

Btw, when the ghast shoots, it does not set off the ender Crystal, it also does not set off if the ghast is killed with it's own fireball (deflected by the player). My next map will be 100% Ender Crystal-mobs (If I make a next map that is).

Also, It actually causes no lag. And the creepers look like they are wearing dresses.

Sounds very interesting. I wonder how the world would be after 3 or 4 people use it.

The Stars Beyond has been released!
It is a med-hard map with linear progression and uses the 12 records instead of wool. The map requires snapshots 14w20b and up, unfortunately. You can either use the latest snapshots or play it when 1.8 comes out. Check it out by clicking the images in my signature or by clicking heya: *link*
Images (in case you are too lazy to see them on my thread:
Finally its done after so many months! Sorry for the wait! also, Rubisk kinda helped so thanks.

Is it bad that all I can think of for journey theme is the game Journey by That Game Company? All I can think of is desert... for miles... and miles... forever...

Isn't world edit for servers only now? Last I heard it was.

And is there anything non-Bukkit related? I've had my fair share of Bukkit problems before.

I usually create the area I'm making in a separate world. I play it in a version that can support SPC, Worldedit, and Build Commands. I then create the area and when I'm done I copy and paste the area into the actual map. Then I can add anything that wasn't in the previous version, touch up anything, and add small details.

Download Worldedit and Build Commands (I think Build Commands only work with Worldedit currently, but I might be wrong). They do not require Bukkit. SPC is nice too for making things easier while creating the area, but that requires a different version and is unnecessary. NBT edit or NBT explorer is a great tool also. I use Texelelf's NBT filter for editing entities, chest, mobspawners, and the like.

I suggest taking a look at some highly-rated maps that you have already played(or aren't interested in playing) and flying around in creative mode. Take a look at any loot systems/mob systems/gameplay features, ect to get inspiration from. If that map was rated highly for it's great gameplay then maybe take a look at how the areas are set up and what resources are provided and so on. Look at how the mapmaker directs the player almost as it were the player's instinct by using pathways and things that stand out from the rest of the area. Look at what resources and items are given and at what point in the map. If that map was rated highly for its aesthetics, then see what techniques they used, what block combinations and see how the look of the place sets the mood and tone for the area. If its a volcano, ask yourself "does it feel like the player is traversing a brutally hot and smoldering volcano?". if its a dark and eerie tunnel left behind by plagued miners, ask yourself "does this place feel like a dark and abandoned mineshaft that has been long forgotten?". Ragecraft II does this very well, I suggest giving that map a look.

I highly recommend watching Extra Credits, they do a wonderful job at explaining game design. You'll probably see EC pop up sometimes on this thread (I think an Extra Credit video is a few pages back).

If you feel like an area isn't its best, upload a screenshot here and ask for feedback. BUT BE WARNED! When people give you feedback, they don't care how cruel or mean they sound. Some of the feedback you get you may not want, but they don't care. If you have a concept that sounds cool to you but you are not sure if others will like it, then just put up a community question (these are everywhere, they are pretty common) and ask if people will like and how to best execute it.

Feedback? I'm not very good with structure-based areas

Community Question:
what is your favourite intersection from any CTM map ever?

For me it's Intersection 5 from Pantheon and intersection 3 from Vinyl Fantasy II

I agree, intersection 3 from VFII

WHAT IS THIS?!
SNOPY-SNIP
This is vinilla MC by the way

Guys, I think he's finally lost it. Time to throw him in the funny farm; Apollo's gone crazy.

Also, on the topic on void areas. In the second area of The Dreamer, There is void (and not only void, but skeletons with punch 1). So that was kind of a jerk move. BUT! When you fall into the void, you instantly get teleported to a safe place near the entrance, and you get resistance 4 for 4 seconds so that you don't die of fall damage. problem solved. This is what should be done with aesthetic void areas.

What are CTM maps?
CTM maps are a kind of custom map pioneered by Vechs, centered around Completing The Monument. They are known to have unique and hostile terrain, deadly and effective use of mobs, and present difficult challenges to even the most seasoned of Minecraft players.

What should I post in this thread?
Anything CTM-related goes! Celebrating completing a map, announcements about a map you, or someone you know, has just released, pictures for an upcoming map that you're working on, or just general conversation with others who love CTM maps.

Can I please be a part of the joint-account?
We are currently not looking for any new admins.

In this section we will showcase the CTM of the Month. The map will be chosen by our community based on gameplay aesthetics or unique properties that make the map worth playing.

Hope to see you guys participating! If you're not up for making a map, there are already some confirmed livestreamers and video-makers who will be producing media around the event, so make sure you're watching for that!

Swinging from the ceiling
Sickness in the air
Don't let the rippers cut you
Graves are everywhere
Rich and poor collapsing
Holding on for life
Rippers gonna cut you
With his butcher knife...

Hey that's my building!

Yeah, I'm of the opinion that ideas for themes shouldn't be too specific so that people have plenty of room for innovation. Also, as the person who came up with last Jam's theme ("Time"), I feel like I should have some ideas, but I don't.

Wow, looks like you really know what you're doing with this system. I look forward to seeing it in action!

Quote from GurdStuffTechnic

*sigh* Community Question: What happened to CTM maps? Any significant news on upcoming maps? It kind of feels like there's a universal break from CTM making.

Let's see...

- Speluncaphobia, Dreadsky Depths, and Simulation Protocol 2 are all making significant, steady progress (at least, as far as I can tell).
- Septum Immoriel is starting to get near completion.
- I don't know how fast progress is going on it, but Ragecraft III is in the works.
- I'm working on the final area of my map aesthetically, after that's done I just have to do gameplay and test.
- Last I heard about it, The Stars Beyond is complete and will be released when MC 1.8 comes out.
- And there's a bunch of other good-looking maps in progress (Pandemonium, Krose's Monster Hunter, etc).

So if you want my honest opinion, I think CTM production levels are very high right now. It just doesn't seem that way because there's a lot of stuff in progress, and consequently nothing really good has been released in a while.

I sincerely believe that 2014 is going to be an amazing year for CTM maps.

So this was a while ago, but I just have to honor the brave actions of the spider that saved the yellow wool in my Pantheon LP. There are other things I like about this 2 minute clip of course... so yea enjoy ;P


Can't believe I didn't see that spawner in the fleecy box...
