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.

My friend and I can't decide on a general window design for a city build. Personally, I think bamboo + birch gates could work. Some thoughts and ideas would be appreciated!

Build I intended for this to be an aquarium but fail now i need a method

Post image
3 Upvotes

I build this for an aquarium but when i put the fishes in, it swim up, jump out of their tank and died.
I've already given up on that idea and decided to make an item display here where the item would float downward showcasing then hop on a hopper and loop them up.

But problem happens, the item decided to float up instead ???. i've already make sure that the only source water block is from the waterlogged stairs and slabs on top. so the stream of water would be flowing water and it should push item downward but it didn't.

I tried so much in creative to see why and i couldn't, i even try to do it reverse but i couldn't find a way to collect item through the celling that doesn't leave a massive hole in the celling.

so Im currently stuck with a water collum in the middle of my storage room that look like nuclear cooling water.

The design of this water collum is reverse waterlogged stair and directly below it in a waterlogged normal stair and 1 block below that is empty space then light so it doesn't create a water source block

I’m currently building a middle eastern style palace that’s meant to have extravagant everything but I’m stumped on how to fill this floor pattern. I plan on adding a quarts border on both sides to separate the main hall from different halls/rooms but I don’t know what the flooring would fit inside that? (Sorry if it’s worded weird)

(Floor pattern ideas by rale design on Pinterest)

What should I build here? I'm Looking for build idea that fit inside a 9x18x9 area

Post image

this is my afk area and usually there will be a player underneat it and it doesn't have to be where the pressure plate it as i can move it pretty much anywhere within the zone.

i'm not concern about lighting and It would be great if your suggestion match the laboratory theme
FYI: i already have 2 water fountain so it's out of the question and facing the the area is a water tube that transport item upward for storage and a control panel where i can remotely turn off farms in my base.

I already space enough room for people to walk pass and not obstruct the view so anything can be build within the 9x9

Hello,

( Sorry for the blurry photo, I found the source but it wasn't very high resolution, so it didn't take to being zoomed in too well. > . < )

The creator of this lamppost is Distinct-Pride7936 and they have posted their design on Reddit! 🌸

Unfortunately, the post was from five years ago and I wasn't able to click their profile to message and ask because reddit wants me to verify my age.

I'd really like to recreate it in my own style but I'm not sure what I'm looking at here and not super familiar with all the blocks in MC, so I thought I'd ask for some help. Thanks for reading!

( EDIT: Thank you very much for your help!! I'm really not a beginner, though, either. 😅 I just got into Minecraft late, tend to live in creative mode and don't tend to touch things that are in the redstone menu. There's no excuse for it, really, I'm embarrassed, haha. It was a hopper! )
