[Accepted] Plenty o' Biomes

[Wimali]

Name of the map: Plenty o' Biomes
Creator(s): bram13
Size: the actual map should be 93x92 blocks
Round length: 35 minutes (of which 7 minutes build time)
Locations and suggested timing for timers: I had no idea where to put them...
Screenshots <include at least one screenshot of all timers>:

The wasteland biome

The desert biome

The 'lake' biome

The taiga biome

The spawn

Build limit should be at y 92, and I'd like glowstone to be no-drop
Timers are marked with red wool

nice map bram :D

EDIT:

SORRY AUTOCORRECT GOT ME ..

This piece of shit on a crappy square game sucks more than i do at skating, imagine that

You should totally delete this so called "art" and then delete Minecraft itself and never come back to RoF, because you made a huge mistake as a mapmaker, you dumbo.
JK xD

its so bewtiful just bewtiful

 

[Sploorky]

Looks cool, but I'd suggest that the plains biome be something else, like tundra. Just me, though.

 

[__Princess__]

Yeah because the plains look kind of plain :3 (but bewtiful becuz it has my face)

 

[Wimali]

A great idea indeed. I replaced the plains biome with a taiga biome.

This is a very interesting concept for the map and I really like the lake and taiga biomes. While I don't particularly like the appearance of the wasteland biome it is good but I think it could work better as something else (don't do it based off of this [do what you want most]) as for the desert one. It just seems a bit empty... I think that it does look good but it could be better if you had dunes (in my opinion).

oh by the way we might remove the walls on the edges (looking out) for aesthetic purposes

Overall it is a great map and I think it would server well for it to be tested.

edit: can we have a way to get to this map? I could help you out with timers if you wish.

Took a look at it and helped place the timers, it is a very good map!

It's a good map Bram. A few suggestions that may improve it. Make the ice river in the Taiga biome wider and add some more curves to it to make it look more natural, and put snow on top of the trees and the building there.

Nice map. I like the creative ways that you made for players to access each area directly from the spawn. Although--I know that the water block in spawn is important--It just seems like it feels out of place with the three redstone lamps. I'm sure the players would be fine with that, but I would honestly be tempted to replace that water block with a redstone lamp and find another area for the water to be released.

I honestly think the map would look really bad without the walls. It was made to have those walls. I love the wasteland biome myself, not sure why, but I'm keeping it. And the desert is mostly empty because in my opninion it should more be for mob fighting - not to build in.

The river is a little more natural now, but I'm really bad with that kind of stuff. I've also made the taiga biome an actual taiga biome, so it'll snow, the desert biome is a desert biome, wasteland biome is a sky biome, and the lake biome is a mountains biome.

I've just put water in all four corners now, and put redstone lamps under them.

Did a few more tweaks, did what I said above. New download: (hopefully the last one)

This map can work out, but only if there are timers in each different area. If you don't know where to place them, then on the walls will be fine for just now, as long as each timer is on the same wave. Otherwise, I can help decide the timer placement if you still aren't exactly sure.

 

[Wimali]

Oh, dess already helped me with that. He put timers in each of the biome cubes. I forgot to post pictures - doing that asap.

EDIT: Here's a picture of all the timers, which are marked with red wool. I've also made giant black circles around them.

 

[Forseti]

It's looking pretty good, if I do say so myself. I don't really have much to add, sadly.

 

[Ronaldo]

Accepted.
