My Minecraft Map! · 2024-06-11

Hi Co-Hosties!

I made a puzzle island minecraft map!
• 
Takes around 3 hours to complete (varies).
• 
Designed for singleplayer, but also supports multiplayer.[note][hide]• 
Opening to LAN from singleplayer will work fine.
• 
Hosting a server should work, make sure you're in /gamemode adventure.
• 
One puzzle is trivial in multiplayer. Everything else should be fine.
• 
For Minecraft version 1.20.6 or 1.21
• 
Requires some minecraft knowledge.
To play the map:• 
Download the map.
• 
Open the minecraft launcher and select Minecraft: Java Edition on the left.
• 
Select 'Installations' on the top.
• 
Hover over 'Latest Release (1.21)'[note][hide]If you're reading this in the future, you'll need to create a new installation for verison 1.20.6 or 1.21 and press the folder button on the right, next to 'Play'.
• 
Open the 'saves' folder.
• 
Extract the zip from the download. Inside of it, there is a folder called 'MystWyrld'. Drag this into your minecraft 'saves' folder.
• 
Launch minecraft and open the map.
If you're willing to record, I'd love to see a video of you playing the map![info][hide]• 
You can record using OBS and upload to youtube.
• 
Talk through what you're thinking!
• 
If you only want me to see it, you can upload it as unlisted and send me the link on discord \@unarei or as an ask on cohost.
• 
If it's public, you can post it in a comment on this post or in a share.

Oh this is cool as hell. Downloading now.

Jama @Jama6/12/2024, 12:32 AM

Setting this up is giving me the itch to try to make my Mystcraft level again, since it was fun to mess with the linking books in that mod.

unarei @noa6/12/2024, 12:34 AM

whoa, I definitely played that mod but hadn't played myst at the time and I completely forgot about it.

@two6/13/2024, 6:03 AM

this was a lot of fun! it's been a long time since I've actually played a minecraft map and it was cool to actually go through all that again.

recorded yesterday: my blind bumbling playthrough (uncut) (maximum spoilers, obviously)

i got progressively more eepy as this went on so i feel my performance as a player and a playtester got a lot worse later on. apologies. also i think i did something i wasn’t supposed to (not the same thing @two did).

the puzzles were quite elegant all things considered. it probably didn’t sound like i was having much fun but i had a good time. recommended.

unarei @noa6/14/2024, 6:26 PM

omg a video! thank you

unarei @noa6/14/2024, 8:30 PM

unfortunate that the blindness is so bad on lowest brightness. i wanted to make the blindness less strong but that's not an option in vanilla, i would have had to make a shader for a resource pack.
estimated time was how long the first three people took, but they had a few hints so it's a cheating time. i might put it to 3 hours.
i don't know what's up with that sandstone cube. i made a room with a bunch of command blocks there and i came back and it was just a cube. good thing they weren't important.
there's not a complete absence of text unfortunately - i rewrote the 'can break/place on' descriptions on items because the vanilla ones are hard to see, so it doesn't even work in any language. also the renamed items too.

thank you for the video btw! it was very fun for me to watch.

GFD @GFD6/14/2024, 8:50 PM

ah, it looks like something got messed up in the colourspace conversion during the upload, and so the video looks quite a bit darker on YouTube (i probably have something weird set in OBS). rest assured the blindness isn’t that bad!

oh my fucking god i recorded a video of me playing through the whole thing and the footage is just. stuck on the main menu screen the whole time

artemis @nine-moonbeams9/19/2024, 10:36 AM

very cool map though! i really liked the puzzles, i got stumped a few times but nothing felt too contrived, and i actually got through everything in about an hour and 15 minutes! i did get a bit confused by the anti-softlock features in one section, it felt like they were there before i fully solved the puzzle? or maybe i just assumed they were always there? i can't exactly go back and check the footage >:(
maybe i can perform a reenactment of my experience set to the audio of the original recording?

unarei @noa9/21/2024, 7:18 AM

sorry about the video. or i'm sorry about the video because i don't get to watch it.

(assuming i'm thinking of the right puzzle. there's only one with anti softlock) the anti softlock in that puzzle doesn't detect if you're softlocked, it just spawns after a condition is reached. i wanted to have the puzzle but i couldn't really figure out how to make it not softlockable, or how to detect the softlock and un-softlock you.

now that i think about it i could have put a reset button at the start of it. that wouldn't have been too hard to do and would have saved having a weird trivial alternate solution to the puzzle.
