Well I am still here yes, and I will be working on more maps. I didn't get any messages or comments saying people liked my first project (The Desert V1) but after I saw the amount of views it got, I was amazed! So yeah, I am working on a new project called, quite simply, "The Continents." The name is exactly what you'd expect of the map, but I'll give you the details.

So this new project was spawned from an idea I had of an adventure game. Survival would work as the landmasses are definitely suitable as well as the large variety of biomes through the world. The map itself is a circular world with a radius of 6,000 blocks. Currently there are 4 continents planned for, no I have not picked names so I will do my best to describe each.

  • First, there is the center of the map where you will spawn. It has an area of 1,333 blocks (Not Approximate). This is the smallest for the reason it is a map designed for adventure/exploration as I have previously states. It is a barren landscape for the downloader to do whatever they want with it.
  • Second, 330 or so blocks west is a continent, the second largest landmass on the map with an area of about 9,050 blocks. It looks nothing like a square, but here I will ask you to think of one for a second so I can explain the biomes. In the top left corner is a mountainous/hilly biome (About 1,500ba [ba = Block Area] ). In the top right is the plains biome (Around 1,900ba). Bottom right is the only forest on the continent, covering about 1,850ba. And the bottom left is the largest part of the continent, it is the desert. This biome covers about 3,800ba (Think of Mexico and you'll be able to image what that part looks like.)
  • Third, from spawn, go about 1,200 blocks north over the vast ocean and you will reach the volcanic islands. This part of the map has a large island of about 1,330ba and contains two large volcanoes. About 50 blocks south of the large island are two smaller islands with incredibly steep volcanoes, but each having only a land mass of about 100 blocks.
  • Fourth, from the volcanic islands move about 500 blocks southeast and you will find largest land mass on the map. This continent has a block area of around 10,350. It also has it's own gulf on the west side. Aside from being the largest land mass, it is unique for the reason that it contains the widest variety of biomes contained on one continent on the entire map. I ask you to picture a circle for this one. The north in an almost crescent shape, craning around the gulf, is the snowy forest biome. This biome covers an area of, at most, 4,050.
  • Two biomes are adjacent to this and they are; the snowy plains(1,600ba) and the forest(1,000ba). Both are located to the south. Adjacent to these two are the plains(2,000) and the desert(1,700ba).
  • Finally, we have the Cliffside island located about 600 blocks to the south of the second largest continent. This land mass is named so for being bordered by steep edges all around the island. The only way onto it is to either build or float around to the east of the continent and into the gulf on the nice sandy beach. The main biome is a forest(4,000ba) with a small 400ba clearing. Land mass of around 4,400 blocks.
