The grey, dull, spiny landscape gives it away, this is The Island of Dread.

You will spawn outside, in a storm, in front of a chest which contains the rules and challenges. This map is similar to Survival Island because there is no grass (except the block of grass you have in your boat, which is washed onto the pointed rocks), it is very hard to get around the island, there is no food so you must grow your own, and there are many monsters about. Note that there are pockets of dirt around the island and underground, but it's a mission on its own getting to it on the first night. Good luck, and have fun!

I made this map on World Painter.

Troy was a kid (10 yrs.old) has waked up in an unknown place, There are challenges for you when you explore. If you died in the End or Win find the lost city and have fun with it!

Sphere survival!!
Can you survive in a sphere of glass?
Only 1 rule, dont break the sphere!
Ofcourse there are quests/challenges! -OH? What are they?!-
You can see the quests and challenges in the mighty book in the chest :D
Goodluck!!

This map works best with Dwarfdude194's Apocalyptic Challenge. The challenge is viewed at http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/501980-challenge-nuclear-apocalypse/page__hl__challenge. This is a perfect starter to get on with this challenge...Happy Surviving!

Pick among six classes (knight,pyro,apothecary,archer,chef,strategist) and defeat hostile mobs to get to the beacon. Amazed at when you get to the beacon its off- you must kill the Wither and turn on the beacon.

Pick to be the game master and spawn powerful mods to destroy your fellow players. Do not bye any means let them kill the Wither, and turn on the beacon. good luck

this is my first map so i know its not great but if anyone has any suggestions for new rooms and challenges for this map then please leave a comment

This is a short but hard map. Everything is redstone and took a while to make. Hope you like it.

THE B[]X 1.2 is a multiplayer/singleplayer map designed to test random things about minecraft or use it for its main purpose and test your friends to their limits. There is a tester and a subject the tester has a command block for every mob including elder quardian, charged creeper, chicken jocky, giant slime, lightning and many more. And command blocks for gamerules, extra health, and all sorts of other stuff. This is version 1.2 which is the largest update some of the new features are. There is also some cool mcedited items to use >:D

Added
Banners for a visual of every mob
Lots of new spawnable things
New command room
Cut out a lot of unloaded chunks so download time is a lot quicker
Solution to spawning
and a lot more features

If there is any questions or problems please ask in the comments
P.S. I know I did bad on the banners and I would love to see somebody play this on youtube.
