I hope it IS worth it!  I love hypixel's maps and they are very fun (I'll try to do a review on one soon!) but the only problem was that Herobrine's Return was a HUGE map.  My computer could barely run it, but that doesn't mean well!  I just hope this has tons of cool commands and redstone, not a giant map, but with the time, it might be that way...

With great awesomeness comes great need of time. Deal with it

In all reality, it's likely a combination of the new snapshot and the fact that Hypixel's maps are insane. As a dedicated Redstone Engineer, and server owner, i have taken great interest in a lot of the same thing that hypixel uses in his maps, and have even gone in and dissected some of his more recent maps (after playing through them, of course.) to learn what i could about the redstone. And let me tell you, that level of complexity for some of it, even with mods, is hard to set up. take for example his skeletor boss fight. it alone had enough redstone to make a nice house out of redstone blocks from it. and that's not even taking into account the command blocks, spawners, minecarts with spawners, and all those other fun little things that make these things tick.






And i would guarantee that he's replaced a lot of it with command blocks now, given the most recent version's additions. In all honesty, i'm excited to see his next map, not only because they're masterful creations, but also so i can dissect them.

Probably, or it's just the fact that his map's awesomeness must be contained.
