*Due to a change to my occupation, I am no longer making maps for this community.  This community and the Youtube LP'rs have my thanks and gratitude for all the amazing support and acknowledgement this map has received in such a short time. 

Take care, it's a big world out there,

~Verques.

Follow in the smallest Minecraft footsteps to recover and unlock the mystery of the cheese. Two inches tall? Not a problem. Go through, around and up in this gigantic world to complete the Great Cheese Monument. 26 pieces of cheese with 4 bonus pieces to find along with the 24 bonus lights, fire and water quests to activate and complete. Play tested at 9-12 hours of game play.  Created for both single and multi-player game modes with no mods required.

The rules:
  • No hacks or mods that would ruin the maps challenge. (The only exception to this rule is for LP'rs to provide enough light in their videos for their viewers.)
  • Stay within the map's boundaries.
  • Break what you like.
  • Dig where you like.
  • Craft whatever you think will help.
  • Kill what you can and try to survive.
  • Follow the story line and/or objectives.
Recommended:
  • Use your favorite texture pack.
  • Make an LP and inform me so I can support your channel.
  • Post your adventures and constructive feedback so I may continue to make quality maps for this community.
  • Play on any difficulty level but never peaceful. This map was made for combat.
* Verques is pronounced E(verques)T, like the game.

Edit: Many are asking how long this map took to build. This map was built solely by me and the total time from start to V4 Final was 28 days. As of 05/22/13 I have gone back to update this map to 1.5.2 and I am currently still in the process of doing so. I estimate the revised map will be completed and ready for upload by the weekend of 05/26/13. I am removing the current versions download until then.



How to download Minecraft maps:
(Source: Minecraft Wiki)

Any OS:
Open the game.
Click on Mods and Texture packs in the main menu.
Click Open texture pack folder.
Go one directory level up (the folder called .minecraft).
Enter the folder named saves.
Note: this does not work on older versions of Mac OS X.

Windows:
In Windows Explorer, type in the address bar %appdata%.minecraftsaves. Alternatively this can be entered in the Run dialogue box (Start > Run... or Windows+R).

Mac:
While in finder go to Go -> Go to Folder or press [COMMAND] + [SHIFT] + G then enter ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves.
This is a mac program compatible with .7z files: http://unarchiver.c3.cx/

Linux:
Type ~/.minecraft/saves/ in your file manager's address bar, or in the terminal type cd ~/.minecraft/saves.

Edit: For those only getting the white piece of paper downloaded, right click on it and open with 7-zip, then copy paste /or drag and drop the yellow folder into your .minecraft saves folder.

Mr.Verques    I really like your map
,But I have many friends who do not know English

Can I translate this map into Chinese and share it with other players?

I hope you will see this message

You are very kind to offer your talent to translating this map. I have only done this once into Portuguese and it was very difficult for me. You are welcome to translate it and I only ask that you or anyone that does this, send me the translated version so I can make it available to players that read that language.

Also, I am currently in the process of updating this map to the current minecraft release. The newer version will have all the 1.5.2 features along with a storyline, hundreds of minor fixes and new decor. I estimate the new version of this map to be released by this weekend if all goes well.

Keep me posted if you do translate the map, I would be happy to see it. -Verques.

Really, really, really enjoyed this map. A beautiful world to wander
around. Absolutely astounded at the amount of work that must have gone
into this. Some of my favourite features were the rubber ducky, the
grandfather clock and the bonsai tree. Created an account just so I
could leave a review and a diamond because I enjoyed it that much. It
really deserves more praise and recognition.

It was frustrating
at times, particularly the bed II and the oven. But there was a sense of
achievement when I finally got those cheeses. I struggled in the
beginning to keep myself fed until I set up a second melon farm. Thanks for taking the time to make this fabulous map and for sharing it with all of us.

I have recently started updating this map to the current minecraft release with the additions of optional fire tick, mob griefing, etc, giving the player more options to customize their experience and eliminating some of the unnecessary problems this map had. These options were not available to me at the time I completed this map, so it is long overdue. 

Because of your comment and many others, I felt that this community deserves a more current version of this map after 10 months in idle, despite my inability to allocate more time to this wonderful game.

I appreciate you taking the time to create an account and to post your thoughts and review. The mapmakers only source of payment for their time and efforts is through this community's response. So I thank you greatly for your constructive feedback.

At this time, I have recruited some very talented players to give the house some long overdue decorating, something I do not have a lot of creativity and talent with. I estimate the map to be ready for download within one weeks time from this post, after all my revisions have been made.

Always post your thoughts to us mapmakers, it helps us do what we do best. -Verques.

A friend of mine is having this same issue and I have checked the download and it still works for me.  I am unsure as to the cause of this and would greatly appreciate any help from this forum to resolve the issue and the cause.  I am sure it is something simple as it usually is.  Keep me informed if you have solved this problem.

Hi there, you should update your map with command blocks and add some nightvision potions.

Commands:

doFireTick off/on  => enables/disables fire spread
mob Griefing = > enables/disables creepers blowing up blocks and endermen picking up blocks
set difficulty  =>  ....
gamemode survival  =>  ...
