Thats me!

Hii, if you dont know me, i am a map creator, creating big landscapes, custom worlds or survival maps. My goal is to create the best Minecraft worlds that are usable, enjoyable and fun to play (in survival).

I have huge passion for Minecraft, and landscapes, and became over a long time really good at it by improving my worlds, project by project. I care a lot about these projects and try to iterate, improve or reimagine the basics of Minecraft to lift it up to create new experiences, while also trying to keep the "spirit" of vanilla Minecraft.

PlanetMinecraft is my home, where i love to share my creations with familiar and new faces. And create a small community around that, that cares about these worlds as much as i do. :)

🚧⚠ Issues / Things to be aware of

As complexity rises, a small tweak or change can have unintended consequences, flaws, be just poor choices, or I maybe hit certain possibility limits of programs. These maps are really complex and hard to make, with dozens of steps and hundreds of layers to apply in the right order. And I'm just a non-magical-wizard boi making sometimes either a poor decision or an unintended mistake, but I want to let you know what might have an impact when playing this world, and here’s what I´ve noticed:

This map was done during the Map Advent Calendar of McMeddon, during which i only had one day for each Map. So mistakes can happen with such a short creation timeframe
Bedrock: Map edges can be not smoothed
Bedrock: Chests can not be converted (Program: amulet/je2be limitation)
rivers can be wacky at cliff edges and steep slopes
this map deviates heavily with the texturing methode to other worlds
Map: encountered a bug that prevented the placement of crystal and dripstone caves as large cave formations, but will be included as small patches
Bedrock: Chunker conversions dont have Villagers on the world, but Zombie villagers are spawning
World: worldpainter bug with Deep-Dark biome, the ground silk is not generating

Want to know what's coming next?
Check out this post: www.planetminecraft.com/blog/mcmeddons-roadmap/

The focus of this map was the reshaping and reworks of the base land and rivers. Combining them and refining the implementation of different terrain types and improved texturing for the environment

How long did it take to make these map?s Roundabout:	Gathering the experience: ca 4500h + Working on this project: mostly a full week Exporting the world: 1h for each export Building, fixing, improving, and adding customized small bits: 3-10x Building assets and working on node structures, 4 days Rendering: 15-20 Images = 1-2 Days
Did you make those assets?	Yes, every asset is done by myself. Those can be found here
For 1.18+ Maps, are Copper Ores and Deepslate included?	Yes, near 0-10 will be a full layer of deepslate with all ores, Copper Ore is available underground everywhere
Is it made for survival?	Yes with 100% survival in mind
Java - Do animals spawn?	Yes, worlds are populated with plants, animals, and nature blocks. Also Mobspawners with animals are scattered around the world.
Bedrock - Do animals spawn?	Animals are definitely spawning regularly independent from the terrain (in my experience)
For 1.18+ Maps, are Crystal Geodes included?	Yes across the map are sparsely scattered.
For 1.18+ Maps, are Copper Ores and Deepslate included?	Yes, near 0-20 will begin a full layer of deepslate with all ores, Copper Ore is available underground everywhere

What are your plans with these maps?	These are adventure maps, survival maps, and creative maps for you to build, play and explore. For my part, I gain new techniques and experience with every new map, building on that for the next and making map by map better maps.
Do you do commissions?	Yes, but only in limited amounts per month - checkout Patreon for further details
PMC Member: "[...] Out of curiosity, if someone else uses your world to build things in and wanted to share, do you just request a credit?"	Yes always - please credit the origins of work / the creator. (people want to know where to find the stuff) Redistributing or selling my Intellectual Property without consent is not allowed. Showcase Submissions are allowed (Backside info: I've spent hundreds of hours to achieve the knowledge to create those maps. And can spend days creating each Map. For the casual people: I encourage you to play..test and build on these maps. I actually like to see what you can do on/with them. I see my maps as canvases for people to explore and enjoy... what I don't like it when people just plainly say: I made that canvas, that's mine. [analogy end] It's IP theft, disrespectful, and ungodly frustrating to deal with. And there are either Kids who just entered the internet and don't know better and there are 3rd Parties that do that intentionally)
Can I use your map for my server?	That's allowed
Where is the map center/spawn?	2k Maps - 1024,1024 3k Maps - 1536,1536 4k Maps - 2048,2048 5k Maps - 2560,2560 6k Maps - 3072,3072 7k Maps - 3584,3584 8k Maps - 4096,4096
Are there versions without structures?	No, but the source files are available, with which you can remove structures and reexport the pure map (Explanation: Online Storage Space is my main concern)
Where are villages?	In all the recent maps, Villages are placed near rivers. Tips: - On PMC you can find often a overview map. - You can also import the map into WorldPainter and export a image/overview map from there.
How can i remove the Villagers?	/kill @e[type=villager]
Can I build on the map and sell it?	Redistribution and commercial redistribution is NOT allowed
Can i continue playing your map after the subscription has ended?	ofc, every map you´ve downloaded until the subscription end is on your pc, where you have full control over the map
Map recommendations?	Checkout maps with a "🌟", these are my recommended ones
Bedrock: I´ve Spawned in water/vanilla area where's the map/spawn?	You´ve spawned at 0,0, the top-left edge, at the map edge. Head towards ~ 2000,2000 for the map center. (Explanation: This is program caused issue, as during the conversion the spawn point gets reset to 0,0. And while sometimes the area around seems vanilla, that's the pregenerated area i had to create in order to insert/convert the map into.)
