Map version:
1.0.1

The Quest:
Find the Sword of the Unbeheld, an enchanted diamond sword that gives its bearer the power to make Good rule over Evil.

About the map:
This map aims to give the player the feeling of a journey, leading him/her across several different locations, both in the Overworld and in the Nether.

At certain points obstacles will have to be overcome, some in the form of puzzles, others requiring the player to find a specific location, and in a few cases involving some keyboard/mouse skills. Hints will be given throughout the map helping the player know where to go or how to solve a puzzle.

Although not an open-world map, in some places the player will have to do some exploration. This will be done either in the confinements of a structure, or in the open but in this case without requiring the player to move too far away from his/her starting point.

Rules:
  • Play on Peaceful.
  • You CANNOT place blocks with the exception of boats and mine carts.
  • You CANNOT destroy blocks with the exception of boats and mine carts UNLESS the game gives you a hint that you should do so (a little spoiler: this happens only once and hopefully the hint is good enough without being overly revealing).
  • You CAN interact with blocks (for example, pulling a lever).
  • You CAN interact with items (for example, throwing them).
  • Re-install the world if you die or find yourself unable to continue (for example, if you have fallen into a cave from which you can't get out). But I will forgive you if, instead, you choose to restore a backup from a partially completed map :). I don't expect that these situations will happen very often given the nature of the obstacles in the map.


Requirements:
  • Minecraft 1.2.5.
  • No mods or special texture packs are required. I used the texture pack DokuCraft - The Saga Continues (Light) while creating the map so some locations may look better with that pack.
  • I suggest playing with the Render Distance set to Normal or Far. Otherwise you may miss something important. If you have a computer with a crappy video card, like me, you may want to consider using OptiFine.

Installation:
  • Follow the link above to download the Zip file containing the map.
  • Extract the contents of the zip file to the game "saves" folder. If you don't know where this folder is, select Options in the Minecraft Launcher and click the link identified as "Game location on disk".
  • Start Minecraft.


Questions?
Reply to this thread. If your question contains spoilers use the "spoiler" element or send me a PM. I will reply as soon as possible. You can also send me a PM if you are really, really stuck and you would like a hint :).

Your feedback will be very much appreciated!
