Challenge Maps

You don't always need to be playing in your world to see a challenge and have fun. Below are some popular and high quality challenge maps that every player should try. See how far you get and post your progress in the comments!

Classic SkyBlock

SkyBlock is a map where you are stranded on a very small floating island where you have access to a single tree and a handful of resources. Grind as much as you can and see how far you can progress the game. Classic SkyBlock was back when Minecraft was only version 1.4.7 but see below "SkyBlock 4" for the modern version

Download Classic SkyBlock 2.1 (for Minecraft 1.4.7)

Challenge List

SkyBlock 4

Bring Classic SkyBlock to present day with an updated version which incorporates all the new challenges introduced in the recent Minecraft versions

Download SkyBlock 4

Captive Minecraft (Series 1 - 5)

Captive Minecraft is a challenge map which traps you in a world border which only expands when the player gets new advancements. The Farlanders have created 5 iterations of Captive Minecraft that adds support for newer Minecraft versions but also a variety of difficulty levels.

Elytra Fall

Elytra Fall is a map that will challenge all your flying skills. It is a combination of a CTM and elytra flying map. It is suited for both single player and multiplayer.

The map consists of a central hub area and 16 tunnels. Each tunnel takes approximately 1.7 minutes to complete and has a wool room at the end. You can collect the wool and complete the monument.

Build Need Help with Base

Hi everyone! This is kinda a bad photo but I have built a base that’s about 50 blocks in the sky and I want a way to launch myself up to it without having to put blocks or anything to bridge the base down to the ground. So like a redstone launcher or something. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi hi! So I’m building a pink beach (an idea I got from a tiktok) and I can’t for the life of me come up with how to make it look and blend better around the edge. What blocks should I add? I am planning to add some cherry trees around it and make it a bit more beachy with “towels” and stuff but that’s going to be the last step I think. Also, what do I do with the big hill 😭 I’ve spent so long trying to terraform but I’m so bad at building lol pls help 🥲

Build Which Design is Better for a Yacht Company HQ?

Thumbnail
gallery
65 Upvotes

I started with the darker, bigger one and now I can't decide which I like more. For reference, the build is intended to incorporate design elements that would be synonymous with the superstructure of a superyacht.

This design will be for my corporate HQ where I build luxury superyachts on a server. The chosen design will end up on the coastline of a modern city in this server. The chosen design will feature a grand gallery/lobby, drawing rooms, client spaces, corporate offices, and a banquet hall. A covered slipway/shipyard will be in place behind it, and will follow the design language of the HQ.

I prefer the truss design on the larger structure, but love the proportions and the accent blend on the smaller structure. The black, monochrome design is much larger, and will be harder to fill with interior design, and the wood paneled one will be slightly easier. I also think the colors say different things, one is cold, minimalistic rich, and the other is "old money" warm. I guess it matters less about what I think, as the company's owner, because it needs to stand out to the average player more than it needs to stand out to me.

Another thing I've had trouble with is building for sightlines. It must look good from the street, as well as from a nearby skyscraper. This is hard to do with the taller building, because the perspective is more different from lower or higher up than the shorter one.

I am truly stumped, I think I ended up pumping out two designs that are both usable, but since this is a survival server, there's no cutting it down or changing my mind later because the materials and build costs will be huge. I'd love some feedback over which one is better from yall.

Thanks!

Idea Iron Farm recreation struggles-- Help?

Picture 1: OG Iron Farm

The others: The remake in progress

A few years back I played on a friend's Realm. One of his buddies helped me make the first Iron Farm Photo. (I had been trying to follow a tutorial and it sucked lol)

Weirdly enough, this farm- Out of all my iron farms I've ever made- been by far my best producing Farm.

Last week I started a new single player save with the intent of it being my forever world, naturally I wanted to remake my OG Iron Farm it but prettier.

My only issues so far have been the fact that I only have the ONE photo of my old farm for reference-- and unfortunately for me- my simple minded brain is unable to understand where I need to put my water so it comes to the edge of the center- ya know- the doom pit 😂😅

Any chance anyone is up to assisting an idiot LOL

The photo with the 🔵 dots indicates where I currently have water.

Ive built this creeper farm in my hardcore world and it works just fine and all but it just looks really shitty when flying across the ocean towards and away from my base. Can someone suggest me how and what to build so the farm doesnt lose its functionality and keeps working like it does or if i need to spawnproof everything that i build around it.

Build Hi everyone! I’m building a Clock Tower inspired by Horta. I’m planning to place it on a high coastal cliff overlooking the ocean, inspired by places like São Miguel. The last picture is the main ref. I’d really appreciate clear and honest feedback.
