Minecraft Adventure Maps
 | This needs to be turned into a category. |
The game Minecraft has spawned a number of fan-made custom Adventure Maps, in which the creator will fill the Minecraft landscape with dungeons, puzzles, towns, castles, and other interesting architecture and obstacles for players to overcome and explore.
Skylands: A vast land composed entirely of islands floating in the sky, Skylands boasts several dungeons to challenge players and numerous treasure huts that serve as rest stops. Watch out for loose sand and gravel!
- Apocalyptic Log: Vapor Ruins contains several.
- Artifact of Doom: The golden tools of the Vapor Islands.
- Build Like an Egyptian: Celestial Wasteland contains two pyramids plus a huge Creeper sphinx made of moss-stone.
- Continuing Is Painful: Even moreso than in vanilla Minecraft — the easiest way to die is to fall off the Floating Continents, and if that happens, you have no way of retrieving your items.
- Lethal Lava Land: Helldamn Islands
- The Lost Woods: Ascension Woods
- Ruins for Ruins Sake: Celestial Wasteland contains a ruined city that has very little in it.
- Shifting Sand Land: Celestial Wasteland
- Single Biome Floating Continent
- Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Empyrean Mountains
- World in the Sky
Asteroid 5251: You are an astronaut whose rocketship crash-lands on a barren asteroid in the middle of space-nowhere. Some exploration reveals that the asteroid is far from empty — it's full of the ruins of a civilization of people who mysteriously died out after some cataclysm. This one is notable for being an adventure map that's heavy on plot.
- Abandoned Laboratory: Alpha Hub has one where they were doing experiments on Nether materials.
- Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Gladsbury has one.
- After the End
- Apocalypse How: Planetary + Physical Annihilation, or a Class X.
- Apocalyptic Log: The story is told entirely through these, usually in the form of letters and diary entries.
- Artifact of Doom: The crystal in the Nether fortress (actually a diamond block) that is what's powering the Zombie Apocalypse.
- Asteroid Thicket: This is what got you stuck on the asteroid in the first place.
- Beneath the Earth: Gladsbury's citizens lived beneath the earth under an artificial sun for thousands of years.
- Big Fancy Castle: Lord Muford's castle.
- Colony Drop: It turns out that this is what happened to the planet Leeir — it got blown apart by a meteor shower, turning it into the very asteroid you've crash-landed on.
- Decade Dissonance: Intentional: The medieval Gladsbury folks and the futuristic Leeir people lived smack next to each other for quite a long time before they discovered one another.
- Deus Ex Machina: In the end, you are rescued and handed a spaceship free of charge by a race of aliens called the Durinians.
- Elaborate Underground Base: Several.
- Evil Tower of Ominousness: The fortress in the Nether has a couple of these, all topped with Spikes of Villainy.
- Face Heel Turn: Zandell
- Flying Saucer: The Durinian ships are huge flying saucers.
- Fungus Humongous: One area contains a bunch of giant mushrooms made out of glowstone. The biggest one even has a little house inside.
- Ghost Town: Gladsbury
- It's All Upstairs From Here: Mage Zandell's tower.
- Law of Cartographical Elegance
- Lethal Lava Land: You can take a roller-coaster-esque minecart ride through one.
- Mage Tower: Mage Zandell lived in one.
- The Maze: There's a really elaborate one under Lord Muford's castle.
- Medieval European Fantasy: Gladsbury
- Minecart Madness: Although fortunately there are very few obstacles so you can mostly just enjoy the ride.
- Pipe Maze: One of the puzzles in Alpha Hub is a pipe maze.
- Ragnarok Proofing: All of the minecart lines still work just fine, although several are dead ends due to cave-ins.
- Raygun Gothic: The futuristic civilization of Leeir has this look, being mostly constructed out of shiny iron, glass, and glowstone.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Asgondus
- Techno Wreckage
- Terraform: At the beginning, you're given a "bio-terrain kit" that includes grassy blocks, saplings, flowers, wheat seeds, cacti, and sugarcane, allowing you to terraform the crater you crash-landed into, which then prompts cows, pigs, wolves, etc to spawn in.
- Underground Level: Most of the levels are underground.
- Weird Sun: Gladsbury used to have an artificial sun.
- Zombie Apocalypse
Forsaken Lands: You are dropped into the ruins of a post-zombie-apocalyptic medieval civilization that contains six dungeons of varying difficulty complete with booby traps, monster spawners, and of course treasure chests.
- After the End
- Apocalyptic Log: The fort on the hill above the Rift mine has some rather disturbing ones.
- Big Fancy Castle: To the west of the Bulwark, there's a huge castle that serves as a seventh unlabeled dungeon.
- Durable Deathtrap
- Mage Tower: The Marble Palace.
- Ruins for Ruins Sake: In addition to the dungeons, there are remnants of houses, bridges, docks, and other dwellings dotted across the landscape. Most are there to add to the atmosphere, though some contain free goodies.
- Ship Level: The Ship of the Line.
- Zombie Apocalypse
Monarch of Madness: you are the king. Out of boredom, you decided to build yourself a course, and then cause yourself amnesia in order to enjoy it.
- Crosses the Line Twice: the secret section in the library.
- Dark World: the Twilight Stable.
- It Amused Me: the reason of this map. Built by yourself, to booth!
- Solve the Soup Cans: usually averted, because you have to find/use levers, buttons, or brute force, but really, why you must use cake to break wool blocks?
- Stuff Blowing Up: at the end, you get TNT, flint and steel, and magma buckets to destroy the map.
- Take a Third Option: one of the optional puzzles has no real solution. You need to find a secret exit.
- Through the Eyes of Madness
