Faraway Avalon Sky Island - 27 March 2012 - Minecraft files

Intro

One day, after a long day of adventuring, you went to sleep in the safety of your home. When you woke up, you found that you were not in your house, but on an island. A flying island with a castle on it, but no other people. Your food supplies on the island are low, with a single cow and pig being the only other living creatures on the island, and a strange force seems to keep you from digging up anything on the island. You set out to restart your life on this strange island, and perhaps one day find your way back to your old home...

Description :Blue:

This is a survival map where the world is a single floating island with a large castle on it. Several chests with items required to survive and complete challenges can be found scattered around. This map isn't meant to be one of those super hard maps such as skyblock survival, but meant to be a different survival experience. Currently, as it is a WIP, there is very little to do as far as building due to the other islands that are planned not being in the map yet, so the only real thing to do is explore and complete challenges (and expand the castle, if you wish)

:Red:

Rules

1.You cannot mine the castle walls or any stone outside the quarry. You can, however, dig up the topsoil if you wish.
2.No spawning items(duh)
3.If you craft any redstone powering mechanisms (EX:redstone torches, buttons) You cannot use them to open the Forge door. You can only use the lever hidden on the map to open it.
4.You can do whatever you want to the smaller islands, even destroy them completely if you'd like
5.Have fun!
