Intro


Mazescapist is an adventure CTM (Complete The Monument) map inspired by the Maze Runner movie. The goal is to find all 16 wools scattered all across a mysterious maze with a changing layout. In order to find them, you will need to explore and solve the maze mysteries. On your journey, you will encounter dangerous enemies, helpful NPC’s and powerful gears.

The map is an open world in which you decide where you want to go.

You can play in single player or on a server with friends for a totally different experience, just make sure it doesn’t break command blocks or entities.



Note that the map is supposed to be challenging, so be prepared!



Features



- A huge maze filled with secrets
- 16 areas with unique environment and mobs
- Thousands of commands for the moving maze and challenging areas
- A custom texture pack and data pack included directly into the map
- A unique system of trading with custom NPCs
- A mysterious day cycle system
- Between 20 and 40 hours of gameplay
- Vanilla compatibility
- Multiplayer compatibility




Rules



- Do not craft the monument blocks (wools)
- Do not change your gamemode

- Do not set your difficulty to peaceful
- Do not build a nether portal
- Do not cure zombie villagers
- Do not disable command blocks
- Do not glitch through bedrock
- Do not use commands (especially /kill @e)



Issues




If you encounter the following issues when playing the map
Bedrock blocks have their vanilla texture:
  - You are either playing on a non-configured server, or the resources.zip file is missing in the save folder:
    - For a server, you need to host the resource pack and put the download link into the server properties
    - If the .zip file is missing, redownload the map should work.

Nether area is a standard nether:
  - Your server is incorrectly configured. You need to copy the content of the "Mazescapist_v1.0X\DIM-1" folder into your server Nether directory (ex:"YourServerFolder\world_nether").






Important informations



- Map version is Minecraft 1.16.2 - 1.16.4
- We recommend to use a render distance between 12 and 16
- Do not use a texture pack
- Play with the normal gamma
- The map is currently in beta, so you may encounter some bugs. Be sure to report them so we can improve the map!

If you are playing on a server, you will need to use the custom resource pack inside the zip file (resources.zip)


Now your adventure begins! Enjoy discovering this world and good luck defeating your enemies!

If you're playing with this and feel stuck, here are some tips 3:
--- SPOILER ---
Traveling in the maze:
- You can only travel to the room which has the same number as the current day. (The cycle repeats after day 8 so you have to do some math in the later days. For example on day 20 you can travel to area 4.)
- To get the green wool (area 1) you have to go into the underground dungeons. You have to find an underground field where there's a door in a dimly lit area underneath a tree.
- To get the orange wool (area 2) you have to get into the balloon and push the button. It teleports you to a structure. You have to go to the top of the structure. If you don't want to fight, you can build up to the top and break a few blocks to get into the wool chamber.
- To get the cyan wool (area 3) you have to swim inside the ocean monument. It's recommended to bring some milk because the elder guardians will cast mining fatigue on you and you won't be able to break the block that's keeping you from the wool. It's also good to bring water breathing potions.
- To get the yellow wool (area 4) you have to go to the other side of the desert temple. It's not in the dungeons.
- To get the light blue wool (area 5) you have to go into the snow castle. On the ground floor there's a dark hole. You can find the wool at the end. You can also access the wool room via swimming up a small streak of water at the top of the big waterfall.
- To get the white wool (area 6) you have to push all the buttons in the area. After you push the buttons a new light will appear on a big wall, that's how you can track your progress. After pressing all buttons, the wool chamber will open.
- To get the brown wool (area 7) you have to go underground to a mine-cave-like system with slimes, creepers and spiders.
- To get the lime wool (area 8) you have to go into a room that's located in the wall of the area. It's not in the middle where the large tree is.

If you're playing with this and feel stuck, here are some tips 2:
--- SPOILER ---

Traveling with the transportation machine:
- At each location you have to find a wool and a map. These maps will lead you to the other 8 wools in the maze.
- The blue wool and map are located in the creeper chambers. They are not hard to find.
- The red wool and map are located in the fortress. They are not hard to find but the enemies are strong.
- The purple wool is found at the bottom where there is a lava pit. The map is hidden under a trapdoor with a ravager on top.
- The light grey wool and map are found in the corridors. They are not hard to find but the blindness is annoying.
- The dark grey wool is at the end of the fortress-cave-like structure. The map is at the side of a smaller lava pit.
- The black wool is found at the end of the caves after climbing a ladder. The map is under a pile of halebales.
- The pink wool is in the ship at the top of the end-like structures. The map is in one of the smaller towers in a double chest.
- The magenta wool is in a cave on one of the islands. It's relatively easy to find. The map is on a small floating island where there is no teleportation. Lanterns are hanging from this island.

If you're playing with this and feel stuck, here are some tips:
--- SPOILER ---

How to start:
- First, you need to go down into the cave near the house. Deep inside there're doors that open on different days. (Door number 1 opens on day 1, door 2 on day 2 and so on. After day 8 the cycle repeats.) At the end of each tunnel you have to pull a lever to activate a machine.
- Near the house there's an other cave entrance that is a bit more hidden. Down there you can find a transportation machine. After you activated the levers in the first cave, you can use this to travel to various locations.
- On the opposite side of the cave that has the transportation machine you can find a time travel button. If you push this, a day will pass and the next day will start.
- To complete this map, you need to collect 16 wools. 8 of them are accessable via the transportation machine. The other 8 are in the maze. In the cave with the transportation machine you will find a monument. You have to place the wools on this monument. After placing the last one, you completed the map.
- Villagers will come in handy. Trading makes everything easier. You can find villagers in other locations but they're not that good.

This was a really well made map, me and my partner enjoyed it so much, thank you! We completed it in ~170 Minecraft days.

Pros:
- I truly recommend this map, it was very fun!
- Best map I ever played:)
- I really enjoyed that every area and fight is different. We didn't get bored at all.
- I liked that it wasn't just about running in a maze.
- It was challenging but in a fun way. Note: we played it on easy.

Cons:
- Unfortunately our game broke around day 30. After that the maze started changing randomly. (For example area 4 was not open on day 36 and so on.) So our tactic was that I started going into the maze on a random day, and when I couldn't make the right turn accourding to the map, my partner pushed the time forwarder button until the maze moved in the correct way. This was slower but we didn't want to mess with command blocks because none of us really understands them. But this bug should definitely be fixed!
- Once we went to bed before the gates closed. The caused the doors not to close. In order to fix this we used this command: /fill 286 1 -2168 287 1 -2168 air
- There is NO exit! I didn't like the ending. After collecting all wools it just teleports you to a floating island and that's all. You have a button that teleports you back to the maze but you can't really do much there after completing every area. My biggest disappointment is that we never really got out of the maze. There was no exit. It would have been okay if it wasn't loosely based on the Maze Runner book/movie where the main plot point was to get out. To improve this map it would've been nice if after finishing the monument you get a message that says an exit just opened in the maze, go find it. But this is just an idea.
- I would've liked more stuff in the maze. There's some loot but nothing too interesting.
- The reapers appered at daytime too. I don't know if it's a bug or not but it was annoying.

.I would absolutely kill for a modern version of this map, it's so much fun. Its just a shame that some of the machanics break if you play on later versions,

I have an issue where every instance I try to run the map, it does not spawn the custom cave monsters that trigger the first stage gates. . . I tried to retrigger the spawn mechanics for the "worm" but could not. spent nearly two hours total reading command blocks looking for a solution. . . Is vanilla required or is it compatible/ required to have Fabric, ETF/EMF, Carpet, Etc?

EDIT: Ive just tried 100% vanilla 1.16.5 in MultiMC (instance launcher Speedrunnners use) and it also doesn't work.

Simply the maps are no longer corresponding on any day, nor on the right and wrong days, the labyrinth is not changing
