Map Info

You shouldn't be fooled: this map is one that will truly push you to your limits.

The map starts tucked under your favorite tree, with some lava, out of its bucket, and your pet water always wanting to fight your poor lava. The map starts how the map ends: with the flow of time. You will start with no food, no seeds, nothing life-sustainable. Your only solution is upwards.

Out of the 11 people I have tested my map with, only two have beat it. It is possible to win, it is impossible to win. Do you have what it takes to ascend? You are at the bottom of The Straw and the only solution is upwards.

0 AmazingDinoGamer I enoyed the map I beated it 1st try it was my first time also the beggining was confusing at the start I needed a technique to get cobble so I placed 1 dirt block on 1 place and thenn break it then cobble then place it back then cobble and soo on. I used cobblestone slabs to get to the top becaus it was easy I didnt waste cobble I doubled it and got up faster.
I really enjoyed the map also if you are gona make more maps include me in one of the test people.

Guys... This is easy!
Why build a cobble generator? U have water!
Just swim up. And place the water everytime a bit higher...

You don't have a bucket nor 3 iron ingots...

0 sharkheadgirl For some reason, instead of a leaf block next to the lava, it's a bedrock block. Is it a glitch? I reset the map a few times and only the leaf appeared once.

-1 DocWaffle The leaf block at the bottom burns up as soon as the map is loaded now, breaking the map instantly...

+2 FlyFightForget The chest that are blocked from opening by bedrock, there's a solution. Destroy them, and the items pop out. If some drops are impossible to reach, just put the chest back in its original spot, or over the drop that is stuck, and it should pop out

0 Krock999 Hello! This is my map. I haven't checked on it since it came out and I am so happy to hear people like it! It seems that the link I gave had a messup in the redstone, so the bedrock block blocking the water from the lava isn't turned into leaves (as intended). I'll find a way to update this. I hope everyone has a good day!

Try 2: Went to fight some mobs. Got shot, set on fire, hit, blown up, and took some more fall damage.
Try 3: Finally figured out how to build a cobble generator and won.

How I won: Make a cobble gen and a crafting bench, make all blocks into slabs, build a staircase upwards.

Cool map ^-^

-5 SNHPicah My major problem :
The lava and the water.
Theyr so close to each other. I can't build a cobblestone generator.
If I destroy the chest, the lava will turn into obsidian, and the world is ruin.

+2 TheTrevorTurtle I started a YouTube series on this map on my channel. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/6lW9_Myfzds and this should hopefully give you an idea of how to complete it, and answer any questions or give feedback. Enjoy!

+2 ForkDryer I figured out how to make a cobblestone generator fairly early, so then it was just a matter of mining enough cobble to block-jump my way to the top. i wish that he had made it so the chests gave you increasingly good armor/weapons, and then he could have much harder mobs in the small rooms. I played on normal because I thought that it would be more difficult (as the description seemed to hint at). I didn't have any trouble with death though, so I don't think that hard mode would have made it that much harder.

Yes, we can't get to open the first chest because bedrock makes the chest impossible to open. Could you fix this, please?
Just remove the bedrock that is standing on top of the chests.


... sry i dont see any need to fix, there are more ways to get a trasure whisout open a chest ;)

I'm back here myself because was thinking about other ways to solve the map as i did already.
I noticed that it can happen at the start of the map the leafs burn in the first second that free the water and change the lava to obsidian. Also it happend that the leafs are changed whis a badrock so there is no chance to get 'em out of the way. Can't explaine it better, i just started the map again to fix it and i'm not shure if this is meant to be like that or if it is a bug.

+2 2C3D Nice Map!
It feels like a puzzle map.
I found the Easter egg #1 with F5
I also saw the sign for #2, but couldn't read it until I beat the map!

when you get to the first chest are you supposed to get the items or is it just 'teasing' you

you have to brake it, then replace it in order to get what's inside

It's a good idea but the players will loose interest in playing if they have to wait until a tree grows. You should consider either adding other possible tasks or bone meal/blocks as grow accelerator.

i didn't even get saplings xD

now well i like the idea but on the moment you got the right idea it was to boring for me to play.
i think needs some extra to stay interested till up the end.

+1 Ian Great game - took me quite a few attempts. I didn't have the solution but got to the top anyway although it took me until day 12 on Normal

I think what he's trying to ask is HOW you do that. If you just break the chest, the water turns the lava into obsidian and the whole map is ruined.
