The Aether Army Wingcamp Trail of Trials!
Still WIP, but on its way! All done, brosky!

What is this?
This is an adventure map that uses the Smart Moving mod! It's a great way to learn how to use Smart Moving, while giving you an exciting adventure to play through! The map is made of mostly parkour, but has spices of fighting, memorizing, story, and puzzle!

Story
You're a human, right? All boring, and powerless... Wouldn't you like to become an angel of the Aether, and join the action and excitement of the army up there? If you said no, yo dawg, yo missin' out, but those who said yes... That's great, but first you must prove yourself worthy, by taking down the challenge of getting to the aether the hard way: The Aether Wingcamp Trail of Trials! Join the Wingcamp! Trudge the trail! Trample the trials!

Questions That Are Not Frequently Asked, Because No One Needs to Ask Them (QTANFABNONTAT)
What mods will I need?
Only Smart Moving.
You sure I don't need the Aether mod?
Positive.
This sounds kinda cool, and it might just work for a sequel. You have any feedback on that?
Yeah, I have plans for a sequel.
I like the idea of using mods in adventure maps. Will you do more with that?
Yes, in fact, I have this one map I was working on with a friend once. It used the Portal Gun mod, but we haven't touched it in forever. Maybe we'll bring it back...
Did you already set the whole idea of this adventure map in your head when you started?
No, I'm actually just building as I go. That kinda implies that the progress percentage there is only a rough guess, and I have no idea really how far into the build I am.
Did anyone else help you build this?
Yeah, I have a friend Kingballoon who's helping me on the Friendship Trials right now, and another friend Ladeer who plans to help soon.
Can I halp with updats??
Prolly not. I have enough help already. Thanks for the offer, though, if you really were looking to ask that question!
I've never heard of you before. Who are you?
I've never been known much in the Minecraft community, as I don't do much on the forums or anything. Recently in LA class we've been doing projects to research what career we'd want when we're done in academics, and I found myself very interested in game developer. Coming up with ideas for games being so similar to coming up with ideas for adventure maps, I think I'll be doing this a lot more. Maybe someday you'll hear about me more often... :)
Your ideas... they stink. What can I do about this?
Tell me. Flat out give me every feeling you have about every nook and cranny of this adventure map. I like to think of myself as understanding, so you can expect to hopefully not make me angry at you for being angry with me, but rather fixing the problems you find. If I find one of your requests a little out there, maybe I'll post a poll on it or something just to be safe.
Can I read the endings for codes I haven't found?
Can you? Yes. May you? No.

ENDING CODES
If you don't know what an ending code is, don't worry about it for now.

P1:
You graduated from the camp successfully! You did great, and are on your way to a future in earning your wings! Now continue on your way to the portal, which will bring you to the aether, and turn you to an angel. Congrats!
S9J6:
You have been tricked by the Nether, and are now trapped in a cage, to wait for your "rehabilitation." No one knows to save you. There is no hope now.
Q4V4:
While being gullible enough to enter the Nether portal, you did not think the idea of jumping down was very smart, and turned into the hot, dark, fear-filled forever. You escaped something, but the only direction to go in now is away into nothing.
V9V2:
Tricked by the Nether, you are now cursed to forever lurk in the infinite cave of Eternity. The dark shifting walls, being invaded fast by the Nether army, with a mission to kill you.

I look forward to your ideas and requests in the comments.

New update. Fixed a few silly things.
[Sunday, April 15]
Wow, It's been an entire week? I'm sorry... Anyway, I decided that I'm just going to leave the ending as is for now, and later I can update it to have that little song play. That's right, you heard me correctly. You can all play the map now! :D I'm setting up the download, right now. I hope you all enjoy it! As soon as the download is set up I'm going to start putting down the ending code system. Once you place the map in your saves folder, it should show up as a world called "world"
[Sunday, April 8]
I did it. The map is finally built! All I need is a song to play at the end, but I don't have that yet. I can't think of anything, and I want it original, so I'm probably going to find a friend to create one. I also filled the map with eggs. What? Yeah, eggs. What do you mean you don't get it? It's Easter! Easter eggs! Gah, I have to go. Good night!
[Saturday, April 7]
Don't worry, this project hasn't been abandoned. I've been a little busy for the past few days, but I did do quiet a bit of work on it last night. This weekend I wont have any internet, so you might be able to expect it to be finished by Sunday when I get back! Also, I did come up with an idea to make things interesting again in the challenge. To those who celebrate it, happy easter!
[Tuesday, April 3]
I just want to make sure that you know even though I haven't been updating the page, I have been working on the map. More progress has been done in the Home Trials. I've added a water challenge, but I feel like I'm running low on ideas. Hopefully something will come to me soon. It probably will...
[Saturday, March 31]
I haven't done much building on the map today, but I had some friends, Deadfrontier777 and Ladeer test it on my crappy server. Through that I made sure to fix some things, and make bad things better.
[Friday, March 30]
It's still the morning right now, and I haven't gotten much done on the map, but I'm curious what anyone else thinks. What should the Home Trials be about? Should this just be a run back towards the parkour in the sky, or should I introduce something new here? Please please please tell me what you think in the comments!


[Thursday, March 29]
Today was one of those days where you totally think things through differently, and I pulled the map way off course into the story. Fortunately, the other half of me that was still sane set me straight, and made sure the thing kept the interesting story idea, but didn't fall apart. Due to the numerous endings I created, I made an ending system, where when you reach one of the alternative endings, you will be given a code, in which you will use to look up the ending you have on this page, and on the page will be a written out explanation of what your ending was. There may also be sequels to this map that respond only to certain alternative endings. I think I'll also decide that the sign's name will be... Sig.

Additional Notes

Just to be even clearer, you need the Smart Moving mod for this. Download it here. I take no credit for the makings of Smart Moving whatsoever.

If you're looking for something more eye pleasing than bland old normal Minecraft overworld, try iKIGG's Aether texture pack for a feel that the map was truely built out of materials from the Aether!
