Floating Lands
🟦Single Biome Maps (Challange maps)
Large scale 8k and 16k Maps as specials
🟦Enclosed Maps (Mountains at the Map Edge)
🟦Challange Start, making spawn area enclosed and tough (idea by TotallyNotJFK)

"small terrain map with tall and thick walls around it with the objective of the map being to survive long enough in the enclosed space to either mine through or climb the wall to get access to a much more rich and bigger survival friendly terrain on the outside"
Small scale 1k² Scene Maps for Builders
🟦Fantasy Forests - Forests high as Mountains (idea by InExFan)
🟦Stylistic-themed villages (idea by InExFan)
🟦magical map like candy land (idea by babychewy)

🟦desert world but the underground is full of caves and biomes and unique generation (idea by Totally Chris Pratt)
🟦underground oasis cave/biome (idea by serpentem_Malfoy)
🟦Moon with craters! (idea by cyprezz)
🟦
- a map with a roof of rock and caves, and a floor of normal overworld without caves.

- Sorta like the nether but not, or a normal world you flipped upside down. (by MCBacon)

Phenomenal maps! I'm curious - have you ever considered making a map compatible with Biomes o' Plenty or Biomes You'll Go? I of course don't know if such a thing is possible, but I am curious! I do a fair bit of modpack development and I know some of the people I work with would love something like these maps with the added content of those biome packs.
