2D Survival Test

[3mpty]

So I was playing around and the idea struck me to make a 2D minecraft map, that is to say a map that's only 1 block wide.

I threw it together fairly quickly with MCEdit, it's 1 tile wide and pretty long, bedrock left and right.
I haven't tried it out (I'll be starting a game on it once I post this thread)

A few minor issues:
Trees and cactus don't work at all. There's no cactus on the map, and there's only a small room specifically for use as a tree farm and nothing else.
No infinite water (is it really an issue or just something neat?)
No idea how mob spawning will go.

At this stage it's just a slice of a minecraft map, but if you guys like it I might throw in some extra stuff (like dungeons or some custom caves).

I have no idea what the resources are like, so you might not find any iron or diamonds, if I work on it more I'll add a bunch of those resources.

So yeah, here's the map:

Give it a shot, report back on how you go.

You can climb over the wall and escape to a non-2D area.

Just confirmed the map has diamonds, found 4 of them.
Cave systems seem to be nonexistant though, I think I'll put in a bunch via MCedit.

Which I did, it's very restrictive otherwise. The idea is alright and the execution is too, but when you get down to it you lose what makes MC special.

It sounds like a good idea, but better played from a side scrolling perspective,

But wouldn't that make this Terraria?

No, Terraria sucks.

A little bit claustrophobic

I thought it was kinda obvious it was a self imposed rule not to crawl over the top :P

This is actually very cool. I'd be interested in seeing a more adventure-y style one.

You should get a modder to make a simple mod that makes trees grow in a 2d fassion for the map.

also, infintie water does work, just make a 1x3 line with 1 water on each side and only grab water from the middle. Making an infinite number of water sources works by having two water sources going into the same block, this will create a source block. Thats why if you get water into several buckets from a standard infinite pool it might break it.

[cromizoid]

You can make infinite water with a three block long one block deep one block wide pit with sources at each end, only scoop from the middle. it's only one wide so it should fit right?

I tried to make something kind of like this before, But it was an adventure map.

Looks good!
