About the Map

This map has taken over a year of (on and off) work to create. It was inspired by classic maps such as Cluster Chunk and game modes such as Race For Wool. From this came an objective based PvP game, Obsidian Islands, where the concept is very simple (to break the enemy team's obsidian block). However, the gameplay and team progression should make the experience fun and make every match outcome different from the next.

Starting the Game

Players will initially spawn on a platform overlooking both sides of the map. Press the "Start Team Selection" button to begin. Each player should then stand on the wool block, corresponding to the team they want to join. Once all players have joined a team, press the "Start Game" button and teams will be teleported to their spawn islands.

Gameplay

When the game starts, a villager custom villager will spawn on each team's spawn island and on 5 of the 8 surrounding islands. The villagers are there to progress through a survival Minecraft experience and then later used to attempt to gain an upper hand on the opposing team.

The surrounding islands all have a different "theme" which makes it necessary to travel to each island. Some examples would be passive mob spawners and a brewing island. Some trades with the custom villagers require players to gather materials from the other islands.

The arrow on the spawn island points to the direction of the enemy team's island. Players must cross the void to break the obsidian block. Players can kill and loot their enemies to aid their teams progression or they may knock each other into the void to increase their advantage over the other team.
