Ascend

Ascend is a uniquely-styled puzzle map that challenges you to find creative solutions using basic Minecraft blocks.

Ascend is a unique experience that is challenging, rewarding, and can even teach you a thing or two about how to get up high in Minecraft (although, to be honest, it isn't normally hard to build up in Minecraft, so I don't know how useful that knowledge will be...).

Thanks for considering playing my map - I hope you enjoy it. Below is a copy of the included read me, to give you a full sense of what the map entails.

Hi! Thanks for playing my map! Here are a few rules/guidelines/et cetera:

1. The goal of each level is to Ascend to the door.

2. The map should take care of all the necessary settings for you. However:

• Play in survival
• Play on easy
• Mob spawning should be off.
• Make sure command blocks are enabled if you are playing on a server

3. You can only break the blocks you place yourself.

-You can interact in any other way with pre-placed blocks. For example, you can move them with pistons, blow them up with TNT, etc. Note that firespread is off, so you cannot burn things.

4. If you get stuck on a level (which is very possible), there is a button on the left wall where you entered the room. You can use this to get hints or reset the level. You will never need to break this button.

5. Do not attempt to circumvent the pressure plates at the end of each level. You will never need to bring items between levels.

6. Single player only. Having multiple players gives you an advantage, and certain parts of the map will not function correctly.

Overall, just use your common sense. Remember, the point of the map is to challenge you. Cheating does nothing but ruin the experience for yourself.

At the end of the map, you will be given a score. The score is calculated like this:

• You start with 200 points.
• You lose 1 point every minute.
• YYou lose 2 points when you die.
• ou lose 2 points when you ask for a hint.
• You lose 5 points when you reset (2 for the death, 3 more for the actual reset)

It is common for players not to receive a positive score their first time through the map. Don't be suprised if you do.

My legal team requested that I mention this: There is a brief moment at the very end of the map that is similar to flashing lights. If you are prone to seizures induced by visual stimuli, look away from the screen once you press the button to complete the map. (spoiler alert: my legal team is just me. I just figure its better to be cautious)

I welcome any and all feedback!
