Hi folks, I'm Adam, and this is my first decent build in 3 years of Minecraft!
Using the new 1.3.1 custom Spawners, I decided to try my hand at making a minigame involving infinite TNT - this is it, and I hope you enjoy!

Right, here's the rules:

2-6 players, 2 teams (2v2 works best)
Difficulty: Hard (play in the day, or with mobs off!)

- Each team member must wear a suit of their colour armour (shoes missing from Chain to provide equal protection)
- Teams pass through the door into the entry chamber
- On a count of 3, all players must jump into the arena
- Standing on a bedrock square will drop TNT in the same square on the opponent's side
- Hanging around in one place on the arena will drop a TNT on the closest Eye(s) of Ender, so keep moving!
- Try to kill your enemy by blowing them up, or off of the map!
- A player falling off of the map will result in a 'lightning round', one huge wave of TNT. Watch your back, front, everything!
- The team with the last surviving player is the winner!

About the spawners: As of release 1.3.1 (yes, yes, I know it was in a snapshot), you can now slap a whole bunch o'shtuffs in a chest, and choose the location and velocity of the spawn. However, for a simpleton such as myself, these things are an absolute nightmare to work with, so much trial and error involved. I'm currently in the process of throwing together an idiot-proof guide in order to help more people come up with uses for these things, because so far, I've seen very few! It's a shame really, when you look at all the options, there's got to be some crazy new usage of these things hidden in there, somewhere. Unfortunately, the nature of a spawner's Player detection is completely unchangable (to my knowledge, anyway - please, PLEASE prove me wrong!), so this map does have a few... quirks. The destructive nature of TNT doesn't exactly help, either, so if you find yourself on top of the map, be a man and jump back in! :D

As this is my first map, I feel inclined to do the ol', "Hey, you checked out my map, you must have good taste, let's check out your stuff!" routine ;)

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy!

MCEdit Schematic removed - Was out of date, and it wouldn't work when not in those exact coordinates, anyway!

If anyone happens to see this, new map tomorrow :D

Really awesome concept - Do you mind if I use it in a project? (the concept not the map) You will get credit for the idea.

Great map, great fun! I got this for me and my mate when he came over for my birthday. We used the new open to LAN feature (also 1.3.1 update) and had a championship; first to win 10! It was very close and I won 10-9.  Well done, I congratulate you greatly!


If people are unsure (like I was a little), GET THIS MAP!!!   Have fun!
