EDIT: FORMATTING RULES CHANGED, so heres my edit IGN: kingzonas Image: Here YouTube Video: Description: Ruins is a new skywars map thats all about speed, skill, and decision making! It features small islands for every player, with easy access to the large center island. The center has 4 sections and a middle- with each of the sections having 1 chest that is not super easy to reach, and the middle having 4 easy chests, an enchantment table, and anvils. Each island is build so that you cannot attack your neighbor easily within 5 seconds of the start of the game. If someone gets attacked by a tryhard, they should at least have time to equip some items first. Each of the player islands is on a diagonal from their neighbors, so its the generally better choice to go for mid, allowing for slower players to play normally, while the extra experienced players get their adrenaline rush at mid. Once mid has been claimed, there are smaller islands to allow ease of access to the player islands, effectively making camping a very poor option, also making it less frustrating. IN SUMMARY: its the cherry blossom map, in the size and concept of the Clay map, but it also looks cool. I was not able to place normal chests for some reason, I recommend using world edit to replace the end chests with normal ones. There are hidden chests under the center structure. Thanks for reading! The map can be found on Mineverse Expansive Creative, in plot (-83;78) Owned by kingzonas, of course.
Sorry, just got around to responding... here's my insights Likes/Positives - Islands are close together for easy bridging, that's a nice thing to have - Lots of chests and a nice clean looking middle island - Totally different theme to what we have currently, so that's awesome - I think the mini parkours in middle are a nice addition Critiques/Personal Preferences - Just a personal preference, but I like islands that have more circular edges, rather than square ones - I like how our current cherry blossoms map has an iron block at the "in-between" island between the player island and the middle. Maybe putting an iron block on each tiny island would be a nice addition. It would still be a little hard to mine said iron block, since the island is so small you can easily be pushed off. I don't know, it's up to you Overall, I like this map a lot. It's clean, fresh and totally different to what we currently have. I like the size and I think it would be a great addition to the game. Support!
Thanks! Glad you like it I was thinking of adding iron, but it tends to encourage crafting more and I felt like I wanted it to be faster, and less revolving around crafting and camping and whatnot. Thats also why there are no ores on the islands. Good thoughts tho
Here are my thoughts ig... I personally like bigger maps since the smaller ones provoke rushing, but still. I love the design, I haven't seen many maps where you can literally just jump from island to island. On this map- it would be almost impossible to camp, which I find soooo awesome. All in all- I love it!
glad to hear it! I tried to prevent too much rushing right away... but its definitely meant to be fast paced. Thanks for the support
Though it looks like a good map, I would rather have some of the islands to be spaced out as a few are together or heading towards the middle direction. Neutral
I thought we had enough spaced out maps- so thats literally the point of my map. Still I respect your opinion Thanks for the feedback!
