    It's supposed to be challenging, without mobs it would be piss easy.

    Go to the Start Menu, launch the "Run" program, and type in "%appdata%" without the quotes. Click on .minecraft, then go into the saves folder and drag the folder from the .zip into it.

    So after uploading this to my server and importing it into Multiverse I found the most hard to reach place in the mountain caves and created a bedrock room with a 2 block opening at one end and a portal at the other (which leads back to the main creative world) then placed loads of spawners in/near said room.

    Persistent rule breakers get teleported to Sunken Island and have to find their way out.

    Either they'll leave and never come back or make it through and never break a rule ever again

    It's the same on our map, although it hasn't snowed yet, but ice starts to form everywhere.

    This looks pretty kicking rad, I'll have to check this island out.

    Also, this inspires me to make epic Worldpainter/MCEdit adventure maps. I already made some sort of chain of islands in a lava sea, but it was really laggy for whatever reason.

    Just started this map about 15, 20 minutes ago. I'm on my second night. I've gotten a small hut built with necessities. The slimes are a killer, but food is plentiful.

    I've also found the atmosphere is amplified by listening to crashing wave ambiance and the Fallout 3 explore tracks.

    Loving all your feedback, and the ice? Is that because you guys are using pre release 1.9?
    In 1.8 i didn't have snow or ice.

    To be completely honest, a version where it's not "sunken" would be rad. It's awesome either way, though :)

    I ran into a Ghast while exploring the caves.

    The hell?

    Great map though. I might say it needs more stuff to find but I'm enjoying it a lot.

    The slimes are literally invading, and so is the ice. Other than that, this is a pretty awesome map, I'm addicted to it.

    Play on 1.8 if the ice really bothers you, as for the slimes, well, you could use something like single player commands i guess.

    I love this map so far. I made my house near the shore and trapped a sheep in my house. I was chopping down some trees and i noticed some roses in a weird pattern. I dug down where the middle rose was and i found this chest full of goods, nice little surprise. Oh you sneaky bastard,     I climbed to the top of the mountain and found iron blocks. So i start digging down, collecting a long line of iron and i get a very bad feeling. I dig one block over and break another piece of iron and bam, i would've fell to my death if i was on that block. Sneaky, i love it.
