Re-review of Desert Spikes

Stix wrote:Hope this isn't offtopic but maybe the IceAge map should be replaced with a more unique snowy map, as there is almost no ore to mine to make swords and gameplay end up being boring with just some repeating glacier plains and a mole-hill in between; a lot of players complain about this map (no offense to the author).

Lava = laggggg

and why do you want to remove the water, i think its nice to have

Update!

• Map makers now have a huge set of indestructible nodes (from default, stairs, and wool) at their disposal, and can use them in place of the normal breakable nodes wherever they deem it fit.
• Indestructible nodes can be dug using the admin pickaxe, that's automatically provided to the map maker if there isn't one in their inventory.

ANAND wrote:General question - how do I load and 'play' in the submitted maps?

1. Create a world using "singlenode" mapgen. Enable worldedit.
2. Go in the world directory, create a directory named "schems", and place the mts file inside.
3. Start the game, enable fly (there is no ground in singlenode mapgen)
4. Do "//1" to set the position where you will generate the map
5. Do "//mtschemplace yourschematic" (where yourschematic is the name of the mts file without ".mts")

Any better way to edit maps when they are already exported to .mts file?

Made a new map, inspired by SkyWars. Consists of lots of small islands and some trees, build across the map to reach the enemy!
ANAND helped me out a lot with the barriers and stuff, thank you!

Queued to the list of maps to be reviewed! This will be a very interesting map to play on.

I submitted a similar map but lacked the time and patience, and ended up with a dull, boring, monotonous map with inverted pyramids; but I sure did learn a lot about WE while working with that map though, there's that.

For those wondering about the inclusion of a lava lake: While the lava doesn't fit with the green floating islands theme, that's the only way to bring back the fallen players to their base. The lake's 6 nodes deep, meaning that it's near impossible to build quick 1x1 towers from the lake bed.

I'm assuming a void wouldn't kill them
