Update, 9/13/17: I have started a completely new version of this map six years later, and I hope to share it with everyone soon. I don't want to reveal too much, but I'm very excited about it. Stay tuned!
Please read:
This isn't a SkyBlock ripoff. I was working on Sky Conqueror for about two months before I released it, and this was released before SkyBlock anyway. I initially didn't want this to look like a typical sky survival map, rather a map where it's essentially survival but with your main materials divided into separate islands.
Sky Conqueror, Date created: August 30, 2011.
SkyBlock, Date created: September 4, 2011.
Big thanks to Taiine for helping me out with this map almost ever since I posted it!
for southpaw3687's full playthrough of the map. If you don't feel like playing the map or something you can use his videos to see what the ending is like.
I used the skylands map to make this, so if you end up seeing little floating islands off in the distance, please don't go to them. They're just remains from the other map. You can find Skylands here.
And if you actually go to The End, you'll get useful stuff in chests, which just makes everything even easier. (don't follow the eye of ender if you throw it, it leads you to the wrong stronghold. the stronghold is at the end of the map)
The normal world
Look around the map if you feel like it though. When I get bored making this, I put random stuff in it that might help you. I recommend multiplayer in this map, as it does get fairly difficult, and you would get through it faster.
The Nether
The first nether island has zombie pigman spawners, with some soul sand and fire. The second one has glowstone and ghast spawners, and everything from the island before it. The third one has a nether fortress, and all the stuff from the one before it.
Since blazes can't spawn in the normal world, I put chests with blaze rods in them in the nether fortress.
The End
I have plans to make there be 3 enderdragons to make it harder.

Mod version downloads
Mod: Tauvelite Ore
Mod description prior to this map: The mod needed for this is SwordsPlus1.3. Please read the description in the topic for more info on the entire mod. Anyways, this takes the ore from the Swords+ mod, and adds it to the 6th island. They only appear in one vein, and aren't terribly common. There isn't really any way to use this ore without getting the swords that come along with the map.
Download: Sky Conqueror V1.8.2 (Swords+).zip
If you didn't bother to read any of that, don't play that version of sky conqueror if you don't have the mod installed.

(The whole time I'm going to write this post please don't take any offense, you told me to spread my opinion)
Man, it doesn't "NEED" comments, you just want it! And it's not even worthy of more downloads and comments because that is the shortest and numbest map I ever played. If you want it to be popular, SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME DOING IT! IF you did this whole map in just one sitting, then we'll definitely not like it and think it's short. Please, make a big update to this map and make it longer because this can be done in exactly a minute! And convert the map to Survival with NO ITEMS. How to convert the map to survival? use TooManyItems or whatever or Single PLayer Commands. I hope you make big update to this because I like Total Wipeout. Just PLEASE learn more about custom maps and read the stickies in the maps forum! THANK YOU!
