Much of this page has been made in jest
This page includes information that attempts to cure boredom, even if only for a few minutes. Please do not take it seriously. Note that there are some decent challenges and styles of play on this page, and it isn't all silly

This guide is for those who enjoy different, unconventional methods of playing. It is completely personal choice whether or not you want to perform any of these challenges or use custom maps to supplement the challenges. It is not recommended for beginners to try these but if you think normal survival is too straightforward, you can try most of these techniques easily without too much preparation.

Contents

[edit] Survival Variations

[edit] Standard

The normal mode. You know the drill, just survive. If this is too boring for your tastes, read on.

[edit] Hardcore

Except for the fact you have to play in hardcore, it's the exact same as Standard. If this also bores you, read on.

[edit] A Touch of Real Life

Play as Normal. If you ever loose 10 health (5 full hearts) through fall damage then you have broken your legs and can not jump anymore (see No Jumping).

[edit] Island

Go to an island and never leave it. The fewer resources available on the island, the harder it becomes. If you're having trouble finding a good island, try a custom seed (found below), which starts you off on an island, saving you the trip.

To spice things up, you could try living in an archipelago, which is a set of islands close together.

Here is a table of seeds:

Seed Version Difficulty

-6874782512038024639 Beta 1.7.3 or before  ???
Sprite Full Release 1.1 Hard
casual gaming Full Release 1.1 Easy

--122.149.68.95 21:35, 23 March 2012 (UTC)Miner: A fairly easy experience, find a abandoned mine, live in it, fix it up and NEVER EVER LEAVE

[edit] Nomad

Main article: Tutorials/Nomadic Experience

Make no permanent housing and take all your items with you. Make sure you know how to make an important shelter before trying this, because you will probably die if caught in the open at night. You can't invade a village and take residence there, either.

[edit] Hardcore Nomad

Same thing as the ordinary nomadic experience, but play on hardcore mode. It is highly recommended you learn how to fight melee and/or build traps if you want to survive.

[edit] Poor Steve

Play as in ordinary Nomad mode, but Steve cannot make beds, either, and he can't build any shelters beyond the emergency shelter.

[edit] Seafarer

Construct a single boat and harvest a single sapling. Collect a single full stack of dirt. Then, find an ocean and sail off until you cannot see land in any direction. Now, live life as normal or combine this mode with the nomadic version. An optional rule is that you are not allowed to return to the mainland.

[edit] Poor Fisherman

First, find an ocean biome, then create a house next to the shore. Then make a fishing rod and a boat. After this, every day, you must go far from the mainland to fish. An optional rule is that you are only allowed to eat fish.

[edit] Mole

Get a sapling and 4 torches. Dig a hole in the dirt and lock yourself underground. Never see the sky again. Play your game as normal, except for one rule. You may never go back to the surface.

[edit] KingdomQuest

2 Versions, both require mods. Both mods can be found in Yogbox, or on their own.

[edit] Peasants Quest

  • Requires Millenaire mod!

Early on, find a Millenaire village. Can be anything. Just not a pigman village. Construct a house, live with the villagers. Complete their quests. Later, start building houses like mansions, up until you can build a castle, and live as a king!

[edit] KingdomQuest: Origins

  • Requires Tales of Kingdoms mod!

Start a Tales of Kingdoms game and play through it. You will end up as a king sooner or later.

[edit] Roleplay

NOTE: Requires Custom NPCS Mod. Start a new survival world, and using inventory edits, get the NPC Wand. Build a house or live in an NPC Village, then make NPCs, such as your wife/husband, a child, guards etc. Just make a roleplay map with custom NPCs and yourself

[edit] Hellbound

Pack whatever you feel necessary and exile yourself in the Nether. A very fun and challenging experience is to make an island with a house in a (big) lava lake.

[edit] Stranger In A Stranger Land

Basically a tougher version of Nether Survival. You're a stranger to the Nether, and you can't craft anything there. You have to stay there.

[edit] Forest Guard

Only build houses on top of trees. Clean the forest and grow large trees. Best played on large forest biomes, swamps, or jungles.

[edit] Sky Lord

Find some of those floating islands touching the clouds and survive there. To climb to these islands get 64+ blocks of dirt, sand or gravel. Then place below a probable edge of the floating island and place blocks underneath you while jumping enough times to get to the island.

You may pick some known seed maps (Like 'Glacier' in 1.7.3) to produce these structures or spend quite some time with random seeds.

Build a continent for your own amusement or more than one connected by bridges and with cool waterfalls. Clouds can be annoying so make sure they pass 3 or 4 blocks above continent level.

The only problem with this experience is lack of minerals and dirt/cobblestone unless you are very lucky. It's up to you whether or not to build a tower to a mine or not.

You can go to the Sky Dimension in order to get exactly this kind of experience.

There is a mod called Biosphere that gives you the option to start on groups of glass-enclosed bowls, each carrying a different biome and linked by wooden bridges.

[edit] OM NOM NOM NOM

You need to live in a house of food. Your house (excluding floor) must be made of either: Melon, Pumpkin, Sugar Cane or Cake. You may craft melons, and plant as many sugar cane as you want. You may place the blocks. For more of a challenge, you may not place blocks (except for 1 block high sugar cane) and your house must grow. You may not place cake. After all, it is a lie!

[edit] Arctic Explorer

Live in cold biomes (tundra and taiga). Your shelter must be an igloo. If you fall in water surrounded by ice, let yourself drown (simulating hypothermia) unless you are wearing leather armor. Only stay outside during the night if you have leather armor.

[edit] Too Heavy

Pretty simple variation of the normal Survival mode. All you have to do is don't wear armor for the entire game. Simple, really. If you really want to you can add this to other situations to increase the initial difficulty of the tasks. For example the caveman or nomad survival situations.

[edit] Diggy Diggy Hole

Live and mine in an abandoned mineshaft. Destroy spawners, expand mine and rails. Death to spawners!

[edit] Regicide

Once you find a Stronghold, live in it. Just a simple variation of the normal gameplay.

[edit] Restoration

Steve doesn't like ruined strongholds. He dislikes them so much that he rebuilds them. Play as Regicide, but you must destroy all Cracked/Mossy Stone bricks you find and replace them with normal ones. Also, destroy the cobwebs and restore any walls/bookshelves.

Hardcore mode for both Regicide and Restoration: Go to the Nether with one dirt, one torch and one sapling (Probably smart to set it on Peaceful at first)Then, search for a nether stronghold and live in it. Restoration compels you to expand the tunnels leading in cave sides to make them connect, build Nether Wart farms, destroy spawners etc.

[edit] Caveman

Steve is a caveman. Turn generate structures off, then find a cave to live in. Spawn in one Netherrack and one lighter, to use as a fire. You may not use any iron at all, and no bows or farming. Move your home when the resources are used up in the area. When the lighter runs out, you can´t move any more. Then, expand your cave and build more "houses" with beds in them. You win when you have built a cave which can house 30 people (30 beds, including yours). To make it a little bit harder, you must also build a totem-pole outside your cave out of five lapis-blocks to win.

[edit] Destruction

STEVE LOVES TNT! Get TNT and some Flint and Steel and Destroy: 1 Mountain 2 Caves 1 Forest( Not ONE tree left) and, oh yeah... 1 Island. With TNT. No Swords. Or Bows.

[edit] Safety First

At all times, you must wear a full set of armor. The first thing you craft should be a set of armor, before you even make a pickaxe. Get ready to hurt some cows!

[edit] Internal Clock

Pretend the night is day, and the day is night. You can only go out there and gather resources at night. Other than that, your life is normal.

[edit] Adventure

As soon as you spawn, build a wooden platform around spawn. You have two (minecraft) days to collect basic materials (iron, coal, wood, food, sugarcane) , and lots of stuff for roads. Explore your world, building the road as you go. Build giant red mushroom houses along the way. Have a chest at spawn, as well as in the houses, and every so often go back to spawn and store your valuables. As you progress, expand the platform to a fortress. There is no obligation to kill the enderdragon, as this is an adventure world. Very fun in multiplayer. However, in multiplayer, you cannot build around spawn, so make the platform elsewhere. Alternate option: do /sethome on the platform (multiplayer only). Also, you can play with Tales of Kingdoms mod, or Millenaire mod for fun. No creative. ALWAYS BUILD THE ROAD!!! Invented by BronzeYeti and Zackthunder.

[edit] Agoraphobia

You have one day to build a base. After that, never leave it. You can only eat what you farm, you can only build with what you can make in your base, and so on, and so forth. You may utilise resources already gained to make more, such as collecting dirt/saplings or obtaining water/lava for Cobblestone.

[edit] End Survival

As soon as you can, reconstruct an Ender portal and go through it with a pickaxe, Mushrooms, a little dirt, and a sapling. You can't come back, even after killing the enderdragon. Play on Hardcore mode.

[edit] Worship Dakren The Darkness God

Like normal survival, but you must follow these rules:

  1. NPC villages shall burn.
  2. You shall only show yourself in the dark.
  3. Every day you must sacrifice your most valuable item.
  4. Iron golems shall die.
  5. You may only kill opponents in the dark.
  6. Make a shrine to worship me.
  7. I crave a companion. Give me a dragon egg.
  8. Do you end up in the light, you shall delete your world.
  9. Pig riders shall also die.
  10. All opponents shall be killed by yourself.

[edit] Ambientalist

Just live respecting nature. Don't cut trees, don't take saplings, mushrooms or seeds, don't kill any animal. Nature be with you.

[edit] Potion Master

Play normally until you have everything you need to make potions. Once you have a cauldron and brewing stand, ditch all your equipment and use only potions (any kind) to continue your survival. You are allowed to eat as normal, just kill the animals with splash potions.

[edit] Man v.s. Minecraft

(Hardcore) Give yourself a main objective (e.x. complete the plane (flan's plane mod), complete the portal, or make it to the extraction point) and give yourself 14 days to do it in any way possible (except peaceful or creative). Other than that, normal rules apply.

[edit] Archeologist

Set up a camp, gather materials, and search for a rare material (e.g. diamond, gold, or obsidian). Other than that, normal rules apply.

[edit] No Farming

You can't farm anything. Trees can only be cut down from forests. Pumpkins can only be collected from patches. Wheat can only be collected from villager farms, and not replanted. All seeds/saplings must be destroyed immediately. Sugar cane/cacti may be collected at the source, but when planted, they must be planted fully (i.e., planting all three, rather than one and letting it grow). You cannot break automatically generated portals, though you can break the ones you've made. You cannot breed animals yourself, but you can kill respawned animals. You may, however, make aggressive mob grinders.

[edit] Lockdown

Build an 8x8 tower out of wood. Bring three saplings inside. Then, you cannot leave the tower EVER. You may only expand the tower upwards or downwards. If you find a cave on the way down, you must block off the cave and you cannot venture out of the 8x8 space to mine ores. Even if you see the biggest diamond deposit of your Minecraftian life.

[edit] Stereoscopic

Play with stereoscopic mode on and without 3D glasses. Your eyes will start to hurt in real life.

[edit] Realistic

Play realistically! Run away from enemies, eat food every morning and evening even if you're not hungry, jog around until you are, etc. It can be a little boring after awhile though, so if you get bored, read on.

[edit] Doomsday Bunker

Go about Survival as normal, and once you get a diamond pickaxe, start building a bunker underground. You may NEVER leave. Bring 15-30 chests, and store all your items in them. Then, for extra difficulty, you may NOT kill monsters. Run from them, and expand your bunker. Build a tree farm for wood, a melon/wheat farm for food, and get ready for the end. Even more fun on multiplayer.

[edit] Holes

Play Survival mode, but do not build a house. Instead, make a burrow underground or in a mountain. You can leave the hole for resource, and expand it. You may not expand your home below dirt level, although you can make a mine below that. Then expand your set and make multiple holes, and survive as usual. But there is one rule: If you hit a cavern, ravine, dungeon, abandoned mineshaft, etc. DO NOT explore it even if there are diamonds at the bottom. Wall it off immediately.

[edit] Circle Survivor

Find an underground circle room, and live in it. All utilities must be in the room (beds, furnaces, crafting tables, chests, etc.) A fun way to play the game. The seeds "giant crator" and "Nigh Impossible" has a circle room near the spawn.

[edit] Herobrine fighter

Steve is paranoid of herobrine. He is so freaked out by him that he kills everything that even has his eyes. Get herobrine mod. The first chance you get, build the totem, and light the top on fire. After that, the only mob you can fight is herobrine, cows with white eyes and mobs that herobrine sets on you (eg, when he turns into evil chickens, zombies spawn and you hear the herobrine jingle). You must lose the totem. After 4 (minecraft) weeks go looking for the totem. When you find it, destroy it. For an added challenge, play on hardcore. For an even harder challenge, you have to wait 1 (minecraft) year before you can search for the totem. For the largest challenge of all, you must only mine for minerals until you build the totem. After that, you run.

[edit] Run from him

A harder version of Herobrine fighter. Instead of fighting him, you are on the run from him. Everything that you see that has herobrine eyes, you sneak away from. When you see him, you run. At night, you place some logs, some netherrack, and a jukebox (your allowed to use TMI/Invedit for this) and if you have any music discs, put them into the jukebox. Your a proper camper now. When he appears at night, drop your items and RUN!!!! A harder version is that you put all your items into a added chest at these camps. You can't collect them again afterward, and you play on hardcore.

[edit] Hypercam

Make your game as laggy as possible and turn on Stereoscopic view. If you have Optifine, extend the view distance and change your view to "far", and make everything as laggy as possible. Survive.

[edit] Biome Lord

Get the biospheres mod, turn an entire biosphere into a base. Put in epic defenses, light the inside (including all caves). Make guarded doors at the exits, you get the picture. Bonus: expand your fortress and claim several biospheres.

[edit] Who's the Aether king now?

Get the Aether mod. Go kill the "Eternal embodiment of the sun" dude(Big, floating lava guy in the gold dungeons(The ones shaped like globes)) Live in it. Whenever something attacks you, kill it. Have fun!

[edit] Slooooow Steve

Steve has played on his computer too much and he is now really fat and slow. You must always sneak, and you must immediately make a sword, which isn't for attacking, but for blocking while sneaking which makes you go even slower. Steve can only eat cake, cookies, and Golden Apples. The floor of your house must be Soul Sand with Ice underneath (Once you get to the Nether) and when you can, drink Potions of Slowness.

[edit] Warlord

Only use an axe or your hand when in combat. A bow may not be used for anything. Swords may only be used for breaking cobweb. You are encouraged to jump from a cliff (or a high point) and attack your enemy on the way down.

[edit] Biome Related

[edit] Arabia

Thriving on desert is lackluster. But if you enjoy this biome, then play with the following rules.

  1. Begin by cutting down a single tree and taking all its saplings and wood.
  2. Collect one dirt block for every sapling you have.
  3. Once you have all this, wander until you find a desert.
  4. Enter the desert and never leave. Play as normal otherwise.

[edit] Drug Addict

  2. Craft a Workbench and boat, and begin finding a Mushroom Biome.
  3. Once you find one, NEVER LEAVE and enjoy your beautiful Fungi Cow Steak, Stew, and Leather.
  4. To make things more challenging,only make houses out of Giant Mushrooms and eat only Mushroom Stew.

Here is a seed that will get you started: "infq", Seed will only work in 1.1, no further. Another seed that will spawn you in a jungle biome, very near a mushroom biome is 'lost'.

[edit] Mushroom Man

  1. Get 1 sapling and 6 seeds.
  2. Find a mushroom biome. If necessary, build a boat and go on a voyage to a mushroom biome.
  3. Live in the mushroom biome and never leave.
  4. Only eat mushroom stew, build a house in a mushroom, and never shear any mooshrooms, and never do anything that is not mushroom-related. Trees can be planted and wood can be obtained.

[edit] Eskimo Joe

  1. Begin by spawning in a Tundra and NEVER LEAVE,Get some wood and cobble to make a Shovel to get snow
  2. Begin making a Igloo after you get enough snow and Flourish your Indian Civilization lifestyle.

Challenges: Very Easy:Simple Igloo Easy:Eat only Raw Food Easy:Make a Totem Pole Easy:Make Ice Windows Normal:Make some Snow Golem guards Hard:Play as a Nomad. Very Hard:Play on Hardcore and play as a Nomad.

[edit] Biome Boundaries

Play with F3 on and mark biome boundaries if they are not already marked by the dirt/sand border.

[edit] Wanderer of the Plains

Get 1-3 saplings, depending on how lucky you feel. Look for a Plains biome. Live in the first one you find. If you find a village in your biome, relocate. Aside from the saplings, you may not harvest any block or item until you find a Plains Biome, and if you find a village in your biome, you must take 1-3 saplings and look for another plains biome, only taking as many items as you can fit in your inventory. Chests are not allowed when relocating.

[edit] Frozen

Mod in a bucket of water or 2. Find a Taiga or Tundra biome. The only block you may place to build your shelter is water. You may place light sources and snow blocks in your shelter, but not use them as a wall.

[edit] The Great wall of China

Play as nomad until you find the Extreme hill biome,then you must build the Great wall of China (Must be 60,000 blocks Long at least).You may not destroy any part of the hill and mountain,make the wall tower at every 1000 blocks (tall as two times of your wall).You should use Cobblestone,Sandstone,Brick,Clay block or Stone Bricks (for challenges,use gravel!) peaceful and creative is ok! Hardcore is not recommend.And below here is Challenges!

 Easy:Make the start and the end of the walls
 Easy:Decorate some part of the wall with vines
 Easy:Wall must cross every hill,mountain you see
 Normal:Wall must cross every biome (except mushroom biome)
 Normal:Plant the trees all around the walls!
 Normal:Find some NPC Villages and expand it to all around the walls
 Hard:Use Moss stone,Cracked and Moss stone brick,Get ready to find some strongholds!
 Hard:Play this in SMP server,recruit 10 griefers,give them a diamond pickaxe and a stack of TNT (for 1 griefer),
 And then continue build your project and don't take care about the griefers,just repair the blocks which destroyed by griefers.

[edit] Mushroom infection

get some mushroom grass and then just spread it on the world! destroy tree and replant giant red mushroom, replace yellow flower by brown mushroom and rose by red mushroom, kill the cows and spawn mooshroom, and then rule your mushroom kingdom! I recommenced you to use TMI or creative mode to get the needed resources.

[edit] Unnatural

Gather as many resources in the biome you begin in until 3 Minecraft days pass. You may not build a shelter until 3 Minecraft days pass. You then must leave the biome and never return to similar biomes. If using version 12w18a or later, you can spawn in one wolf and once ocelot using creative, then return to survival. You may obtain any type of log for fuel, and you can't get saplings. Make sure to get a block of dirt if you want to live in a cave or in the desert.

[edit] Village Related

[edit] Mayor Steve

Play as normal until you find a village, then move your stuff in. You are now the mayor, and you are responsible for the health and happiness of the villagers. Try to expand the village as much as you can. The more villagers you can get, the better.

As an additional challenge, don't use beds - you have to go slay all the zombie attackers at night.

Traditionalist: This is a version of Mayor Steve in which you MUST build village houses according to the design of the normal village houses. Also, you MUST include all types of structures like forges and libraries when building the village.

[edit] My House!

Find a village, and get in a house. No leaving. Not even if there is a creeper knocking at the door.

[edit] Superflat Hardcore

Create a hardcore world in superflat mode. Enough said.

[edit] D'oh Notch!

Notch did a bad job on the NPC Villages. Make a world in Creative Mode. Make Villages as you want them. Then add 2 Villagers. Every time you meet Notch, rub it in his face that you did a better job than him.

[edit] Skyscraper

Build a massive skyscraper with rooms on every floor then put two villagers in the skyscraper and seal it off. See if they can survive in the skyscraper and actually recognize the housing!

[edit] Burn, Villages, Burn!

Every NPC Village you see must burn. Normal rules apply otherwise.

[edit] Zombie Siege

Wall off all villagers and kill every Iron Golem you see. Survive the zombies that will attack. No iron or diamond armor or diamond equipment.

[edit] Village Defense

Spawn in a super flat world and find a village. When you have found one make a tower somewhere in the village. Spawn yourself a few bows, lots of arrows, 3 Melon seeds, a bed, crafting table, furnace, coal, an iron hoe, An iron pick, 64 torches, some saplings, 1 bucket of water and 1 bucket of lava. At night don't leave the tower and shoot the mobs that are attacking your village. In day go around the village and get food but you must not leave the village. The bucket of water and lava should be used to make a cobblestone generator. In the end you you should have a wall around the village to protect it from the mobs and make any other defenses you think you will need. It is a good idea to have the mod "Too many items" so you can spawn the things you need in survival or hardcore. To make it harder do it on hardcore instead.

[edit] Custom Village

It is quite easy...first,play in super flat mode and in creative.Then build a custom village on your style.Here are some advice:

Normal mode:just like the normal village you can edit some of the houses or made on your own.It must be made of wood,wood trunks,stone,etc...

Modern mode:All must be made of iron,gold,diamonds go make a lot of extremely large mansions or subway trains,Just to make it a Modern Village

Viking mode:All of the houses must have a weapons and defenses,or build castles and put a lot of guard around this is good to do in multiplayer mode...

Caveman mode:their are some major changes in this mode you must play it in default mode and find some mountains then dig through it then it must be only torches and some other items like crafting bench and chests.

Future mode:All must be in extremely modern style! all must have dispensers to defense their homes and in the road put rails so that the neighbors can quickly transport themselves in their own houses they must not own their light all their light is redstone lamp and will be only activated trough payment...

Metropolis:Build a Extremely Large City and put villagers or players.It is best to do this in multiplayer so other player will be also enjoy about the game.You must put market,bakery,blacksmith,and all the buildings that will help the players buy some items in the city...

I'll update these ideas if i have a new idea...

[edit] NPC RAIDER

On your first night, find an NPC village and stay in one of the houses. Make tunnels between the houses, and make new houses. Become a member of the village, helping to farm, build, and help, the NPCs.
Rules: 1. You may NOT kill, injure, or hurt in any way, the NPC villagers. 2. You may NOT destroy any NPC structures. 3. You must stay in the village forever, only leaving for up to 1 Minecraft day, to find resources and other stuff. 4.YOU MUST BUILD at least one NPC-like house. 5. All structures in the village must be connected to the underground tunnels.

[edit] Terrorist

Stash up on TNT(you can use InvEdit) and blow up every NPC Village you find. ~1000 TNT should be sufficient in leveling a mid-sized NPC Village. For an added bonus, blow up an entire biome.

[edit] Whooops!

If the village has a forge, break the cobblestone surrounding the lava in it. Sooner or later, most of the village will be swimming in hot, molten lava...

[edit] Drink Up

All the water from the crops must be released, and the well must be smashed so the water is free. It won't kill the villagers, but they can have a nice bath instead.

[edit] Mob Related

[edit] Robot Slayer

Settle in a village and slay any Iron Golems you find.

[edit] Hippie

Do not kill or eat any animals. For more of a challenge, you can refrain from killing creepers and giant spiders. Zombies and skeletons are undead, so those should be killed. Only kill Endermen if they are hostile.

[edit] Pacifist

Do not kill any creature even if it means your death. (entering peaceful mode is not allowed either) No worries because you will respawn forever. For less of a challenge, let yourself run. Or with 1.8, sprint.

[edit] Enderman

Go on and survive, but you may not have a bed and you have to wander around at night, every night. Whenever you see an Enderman, you have to freeze and stare at it until dawn. No, you can't run if that pesky Creeper is trying to hug you.

[edit] I'm On A Pig

Go find a saddle, and use it on a pig. Then don't get off.

[edit] What is Love?

Steve must not run away from Creepers. When you see a Creeper, go ahead, hug it.

[edit] Hit a chicken with a shovel

You must only directly attack chickens with a shovel, not with anything else.

[edit] Floppy Sword

First thing you do in the game, kill a chicken. That RAW chicken is your weapon for the rest of the game. You must kill all mobs, even Creepers/Endermen/the Ender-dragon. For extra difficulty, only break blocks with the chicken. If you die, kill another chicken. You may only punch chickens if there are no raw chickens in your inventory (from death).

[edit] Killed with its own drop

You may only kill mobs with what they drop. You cannot kill wolves, ocelots, villagers, or silverfish. There are two variations:

Easy: You may kill the mob once with anything, then forevermore you must kill the mob with what it drops. I.E, kill a Skeleton once with a sword, then forever-more, you must only kill skeletons with bones/arrows. You may want to distinguish between Skeleton arrows and crafted arrows.

Hard: You can never kill mobs with fists/swords. To get the drops, mobs must fall off cliffs of their own accord - or get killed by creepers/skeletons. Get ready to dance with a skeleton!

[edit] Skeleton shooting

When a skeleton kills a mob, you get the number of points listed. Zombie: 20 Skeleton: 10 Spider: 25 Creeper (explodes): 5 Creeper (music disc): 50 Cave spider: 100 Slime: 100 Passive mob: 10 Ocelot: 40 Squid: 40 Snow golem: 15 Wolf: 50 Silverfish: 100 Iron Golem: 500 Charged Creeper (explodes): 1000 Charged Creeper (music disc): 2000 Zombie Pigman: 2000 Enderman: 2000 ghast: 5000 Enderdragon: 1000000 (I dare you!)

When you die, add this score to the score listed.

[edit] D'aww, so cute!

You must not run when you see an hostile mob. You have to go towards it. Yes, hug that creeper. For the rest, game is normal, except that you can't use items dropped from mobs (killed from fall damage, lava...).

[edit] No kill

Survive without killing any mobs.

[edit] One Hit Point Wonder!

When Steve loses so much as half a heart from falling/drowning/suffocation/mobs/lava/void/cacti/explosions, you must delete your save, and start again. That said, do whatever you can to keep Steve at 10 hearts. Or, never eat anything and play on normal mode. You won't die, but you will have 1/2 heart left.

[edit] One Hit Nomad!

Play as One Hit Point Wonder, but also play as a nomad.

[edit] Hunter!

When you spawn in a world, Play with normal rules but on one condition, You can only kill mobs by making traps (arrow,fireball,TNT) That is the ONLY WAY!

[edit] Arachnophobia

Steve is afraid of spiders. This is basically the Enderman challenge, but with spiders instead. You may move when the spider leaves your view, and if you take damage from the spider, sprint away from the spider and look away. Don't stop moving away from the spider until dawn.

[edit] No regenerating

Keep your hunger below 90% so you won't regenerate health. There is a mod that automatically keeps you from regenerating health.


[edit] Parental Guidance

Kill everything you see. Villagers, creepers, skeletons, zombies, spiders, wolves, ocelots, iron golems, mooshrooms, cows, chickens, pigs, silverfish, enderdragons, ghasts, blazes, zombie pigmen, magma cubes, slimes and spider jockeys. You get the picture.

[edit] The Zoo?

Get Glass panes/ iron bars/fences as quickly as possible. Once you do, trap everything you see in them. Soon you'll have a zoo with way too many monsters that spreads bigger than the world.

[edit] Food Related

[edit] Melon Blocker

The only seeds you may plant are melon seeds. After gathering a stone hoe,you may only break melon blocks. You may only eat melon slices.

[edit] The Lie

This is a joke. It's all a lie. NOT! The only food that you can eat is cake. That's not a lie.

[edit] Hungry

Whenever you find food, you must eat it. You must have no food stored in your inventory, chests, or anywhere else. You must eat it as soon as you see it. Cooking is OK, though. (If your food bar is full and you can't eat, do some jumping jacks until you're hungry.)

[edit] Hunger

Don't eat food. Stay on normal. You won't die, but you'll have half a heart left.

[edit] Starving

Steve hates food. He hates food so much he cannot stop jumping and sprinting. The whole first day, you must stand still until night. Then you must sprint and jump away from mobs, until you get very hungry. When you lose all of your hunger, have a family meal with the creepers. You must play on hard. If you are doing this on 1.9, play on hardcore.

[edit] Soylent Green Is People!

Steve can't get rid of the animal inside him, and all he wants to eat is human flesh. Can't find humans to eat (or you can't eat the villagers)? Zombies will have to do. Steve must live off Rotten Flesh to supply his hunger for the entire game; other than that, he's fine. Or, kill Notch and eat his apple-y flesh.

[edit] Vegetarian

As the name would probably imply, you cannot eat any meat at all, raw or cooked. The rest of the game goes on as normal, and you can also kill animals for other products (cows for leather, chickens for feathers, etc.). Just no meat.

[edit] Vegan

Play as Vegetarian, but you can't eat anything with animal products. No milk, or eggs, or leather, or anything that comes from an animal. Protect all passive mobs from other players/hostile mobs. Oh yeah, and Endermen/Zombie Pigmen should be protected too.

[edit] Bear Grylls

Only eat raw meat. Raw fish, beef, pork, even chicken. It's your choice if you want to also eat Rotten Flesh and Spider-eyes. For extra challenge, eat Raw Chicken only.

[edit] Sweet tooth

Steve loves sweets. In fact, he will only eat cookies and cake. Only eat cookies and cake. Get ready to find a dungeon!

[edit] Healthy Steve

Steve wants to be strong. In fact, he will only eat healthy food for the whole game, and that means no raw food or sweets, like cookies or cake, for the whole game. You can't eat spider eyes or rotten flesh, either.

[edit] Spider Stew

Steve hates all food, so he will only eat spider eyes. For an added hard bonus, only hunt for spiders at night!

[edit] Orchard

For the entire game, the only thing you can eat are apples. If you are playing 1.0.0 and up, you must play on hardcore. Better learn how to make a good tree farm!

[edit] For Science

You can't eat cake. Steve does a bad job of crafting it, and he works for Aperture Science.

[edit] Sea Cuisine

Steve can only eat Raw Fish.

[edit] Chicken King

Steve is the king of all chicken, he can only eat Cooked Chicken.

[edit] Inventory Limits

[edit] Eco Tools

Only use wood tools. Never make a Cobblestone, iron, etc. tool. All things that must be mined with Stone+ tools must be found in chests, or for gold, from Pig Zombies. For less of a challenge, let yourself blow up the Stone+ required items with Creepers/TNT.

[edit] 42

It's the answer to everything, except luxury and happiness! You can only have 42 objects of a same kind, chests and dispensers included.

[edit] 42,42

Harder version of 42. Now, your inventory can only hold 42 items at a time.

[edit] Hotbar only

You should only have blocks and items in your hotbar, not in the rest of your inventory.

[edit] The End...ermen

A much, much harder version of 42 and 42, 42. You can only carry one block/item in your inventory at all times. Other than that, you can store stuff in chests, craft things, etc.

[edit] No stacking

All items must be unstacked.

[edit] Inventory as like 1.7.3

If you have a stack of more than one food, separate them. No 1.8 or later blocks or items.

[edit] We need a Bigger Warehouse!

Don't store blocks in chests, store them in rooms. Even Obsidian, stock up on it by putting obsidian blocks in your home. For extra challenge, don't stack items. Blocks like Glass/Bookcases, which can't be collected, can't be made en-masse unless you use it immediately. Expect to store a lot of Iron Blocks!

[edit] Heavy blocks

Hey, blocks are heavy. Ever wondered how Steve manages to carry hundreds of tonnes of rocks around on his back? Well, add a bit more realism with this challenge. The number of blocks you can carry is linked to your level. First job: kill something, get your level to 1. Now you can carry 1 block in your inventory at a time. Level 2: 2 blocks. 3: 3 blocks. You get the idea. But you can't just store these blocks in chests when you're not carrying them! Hundreds of blocks stored in the space of 1?! I don't think so! You must store blocks by placing them, in the same way you stored them in "We need a Bigger Warehouse". (Iron, gold etc must be stored in block form). Other items can be carried or kept in chests as usual. Prepare for some long mining trips!

[edit] Backpack

A variation of the above, you can only carry 4 items and 4 blocks, increasing by 6 with every 'back pack' (chest) you have in your inventory. These chests do not count to your block count.

[edit] Weak Steve

Steve is so weak he can only hold 1 thing at a time. You can only hold stuff in the first slot of your hotbar.

[edit] 5-Ds

You may only carry 3-D items in the day with the exception of a clock, and 2-D items in the night, based entirely on the HUD. Mod in a clock before moving, even if you'll burn to death in the lava. You may only keep blocks related to the location if you are in The Nether or in The End. The clock must stay in your hotbar. Try it on Hardcore!

[edit] 5-Bs

A harder version of 5-Ds. You play as if you were under 5-D's restrictions, but you may only carry 5 blocks or items at a time, and are under the "Weak Steve" rules as well. The clock you still have to mod in does not count towards the block/item limit, and you are also able to switch between the first slot in your hotbar and the clock. Switching to your hand does not violate the rules.

[edit] Exile5-Ds

Harder than 5-Ds and 5-Bs. Begin on Creative, and make sure you have TMI. Play under 5-B's ruleset, but instead of modding in a clock before you move, make a nether portal and go through it. Discard the Flint and Steel afterward, then destroy the portal and replace the portal with netherrack. Mod in a diamond pickaxe, a diamond sword, and a stack of arrows. Survive under 5-Bs rules.

[edit] One chest only

Download a map that involves spawning on a small platform, such as Skyblock or 4 Pillars. The only chest you may use is the chest on the island you spawn on. In the case of 4 Pillars, you may use another chest to hold any items that came from chests you found (this includes the cactus), but nothing else goes there. Throw off any reward chest you loot, aside from one.

[edit] All I need

The same as One chest only, but you may only use a single chest to store anything you find in the chests in 4 Pillars. Otherwise, no chests. Throw off any reward chest you loot.

[edit] Superflat

[edit] Urban Survival

Play survival in superflat, preferably in a seed with several villages nearby. There is no other way to acquire resources, but the villages are built of many useful resources and the chests they contain have even more. Being nomadic helps, so you can continue to get wood and collect resources. Try to do things you could in normal survival, such as get to the nether, build an enchantment table, etc.

[edit] No Structures

Play survival in superflat with structures turned off. You can either choose to be a perpetual nomad, moving constantly by day, killing cows, pigs and chickens as you come across them for food, and pillar-jumping at night to evade the mobs, or you can try to build permanent structures and live in one area, which is even harder. Either way, expect to eat a lot of rotten meat to survive. The only block types accessible to you in this mode are dirt and about eight colours of wool. Expect to do a lot of chicken farming if you settle down in one place; raw chickens aren't that nutritious, so you'll need to breed a lot of them. Suddenly, a bow looted from a skeleton will seem a great treasure. Iron ingots are great zombie loot!

PS And you thought slimes were a nuisance on normal superflat!

[edit] Limited Resource Survival

Start a Superflat world, and using Creative mode/Inventory edits, spawn the following into your inventory:

  • 1 Lava Bucket
  • 1 Stack of ice
  • 1 Pumpkin Seed
  • 1 Stack of snow blocks
  • 1 Melon Seed
  • 6 Wheat Seeds
  • 4 Pistons
  • 4 Sticky Pistons
  • 32 Iron Ingots
  • 8 Diamonds
  • 1 Sapling of every type
  • 1 Reed
  • 1 Stack of Sand
  • 1 Cactus
  • 3 Stacks of Redstone Dust
  • 14 Obsidian
  • 1 Stack of Gravel
  • 2 Water Buckets
  • 16 Gold Ingots

Then, survive in the world until all resources are used up.

[edit] Superflat Village Finder

Play on Survival on Superflat and see how many villages you can find. Mark each one you find.

[edit] Urban City

Play on creative and build a metropolis. See how many buildings you can make before you get bored! Once your done, copy your save and then destroy it! See how much TNT it takes to blow up your entire city without a trace!

[edit] God

Make a Superflat world on Creative mode. Then create oceans, forests, snow, mineshafts, caves, strongholds, everything! In fact, just make a regular world out of a Superflat one. it takes a long time.

[edit] Slime King

Oh dear. Steve thinks he is a slime. Play on survival or Hardcore. No peaceful. He can't build any thing permanent out of anything other than dirt or utility blocks .He can only use his fist to hurt things and you must try to avoid killing baby/little slimes. In fact the more around you the better... Raid villages, steal food, kill the inhabitants, burn it to the ground! Extend your control until your dirt fortress is the only building around. Hate hostile mobs? you can grow trees, make torches. Kill passive mobs on sight! Fear not the creeper-The swarm around you will keep mobs back. Too bad if you find yourself moving slowly, you're a slime now. By the way, you can only move by jumping.

[edit] Steve's Slime Removal Service

Grab an iron sword, then go around killing slimes in villages. Also make sure to kill every zombie you find. Getting hit by a slime means you have to delete your save, even if you don't have an iron sword yet. Diamond swords are only allowed if you don't have enough iron for an iron sword or have an iron sword. No armor is allowed. Good Luck.

[edit] "Flatblock"

In this superflat, it's somewhat like skyblock. You generate a superflat structures-enabled world. There is a sort of equivalent exchange, so that all items are available. You can trade items for others with inventory editors such as a mod called "Too Many Items" by Marglyph, or if on a server, you can use op commands. Here are some examples of trading:

64 Glowstone Dust + 2 Apples = 32 Redstone Dust
32 Seeds + 16 Saplings = 1 Pumpkin Seed
32 Saplings + 16 Pumpkin Seeds = 1 Melon Seed
64 Saplings = 1 Next Kind Sapling : Oak->Birch->Pine->Jungle
1 Pumpkin = 1 Jungle Sapling = 1 Sugarcane
1 Iron Sword + 1 Leaf Block = 1 Cactus
1 Dirt + 1 Sand + 1 Water Bucket = 2 Clay Blocks
1 Yellow Dye + 1 Dirt = 1 Sand
1 Vine + 1 Cobblestone = 1 Mossy Cobblestone
1 Chest + 64 Mossy Cobblestone + 6 Iron Bars = Saddle + 1 Cocoa Bean
1 Water Bottle + 1 Bonemeal = 1 Snowball
1 Redstone Dust + 1 Water Bottle = 1 Lapiz Lazuli
6 Hieroglyphic Blocks + 2 Obsidian = 1 End Portal Frame

Note:The recipes above are not the only possibilities.
Here are some challenges that you could do:

1. Find a Village.
2. Find 4 more Villages.
3. Locate Diamonds.
2. Find 4 more Villages.
3. Locate Diamonds.
4. Make a tree farm.
5. Make a birch tree.
6. Get vines.
7. Make a Melon Farm.
8. Find an Iron Golem.
9. Make all Animal Farms.
10. Get 5 Records and a Jukebox.
11. Craft a Sugarcane.
12. Make a Hieroglyphic Block.
13. Make an enchantment table.
14. Make a cobblestone generator.
15. Go to the Nether.
16. Make a Stength Potion.
17. Get Redstone.
18. Make one Ender Portal Frame.
19. Build a suitable house.
20. Make an artificial forest, oak, birch, and pine trees.
21. Make a sticky piston.
22. Make a bed.
23. Complete your End Portal.
24. Activate End Portal.
25. Defeat the Enderdragon.
26. Constuct a floating island.
27. Make a mansion.
28. Build a Wool Monument.
29. Make a redstone minigame.
30. Obtain a grass block.

Note:The above premade challenges are not the only possible ones, and also are not required.
This can be played on survival, or for an added challenge, hardcore mode. On a server, you could play survival, or apply rules of "Ironman" also.
Unfortunately, this can only be played once, unless you set new challenges for once, and dieing on hardcore really discourages progress.

[edit] Other

[edit] The Weather is Always Terrible Here...

Using mods or cheats, make the weather ALWAYS lightning storm. Normal rules apply otherwise.

[edit] I LOVE lighting!

Never go under cover, or into a shelter or cave. Be the lighting rod. If you can reach a plains biome or desert, stay there.

[edit] Shiny Blue Thing!

Hug those charged creepers!

[edit] Astraphobia

When you spawn, set weather to lighting, then run straight. Every time you see a flash of lighting, run in the opposite direction.

[edit] Earthworm

Install Smart Moving and crawl around in a 1x1 tunnel forever. The game is played as normal.

[edit] Diary of a wimpy Steve

Play as normal, but acquire a written book as quickly as possible. Then, each day, write one page in it. If it is full, name it Diary P1, then make a new book. If that is full, name it Diary P2 and get a new book etc.

[edit] Amish

You can't use any technology of any type, no redstone, pressure plates, or levers. you can use tools, but nothing mechanical or electrical. you must also live in a barn, have a wheat field, and not kill any aggressive mobs.

[edit] Dumb

Survive without crafting any tools.

[edit] A Man and His Dog

Live your life as in a normal game until you find a wolf. When you see the wolf, you must tame it if possible. Note, though, after you tame it, there's no going back: the tools you had when you tamed it will always be there until they degrade, you can't craft anything, and basically, it's just a Man and His Dog. If the dog dies, (only by accident)you may craft again until you find another wolf.

[edit] Pumpkin Dumb

Even harder than Dumb. You play Dumb Mode until you find a pumpkin. Break that pumpkin, and wear it. For the rest of the game.

[edit] Snow Golem

The first thing you must do is make a Snow Golem. Travel anywhere to find the materials, but don't get anything but two snow blocks and a jack-o-lantern. After it's made, you can't craft anything, nor can you mine blocks. If the Snow Golem dies, delete the save file and restart. Note: You can't collect blocks a creeper has blown up. Try it on Hardcore Mode. Don't set it to Peaceful.


On the seed " bob_the_tomato " you can make a snow golem on the first day


[edit] Religious man

Steve is a strong believer. Build the best temple ever and live there. You mustn't exit it, for no motive. Build the statue of one or more gods and venerate it. You won't eat or drink, just venerate.

It would be great fun and recommended (but not required) that you take a specific deity and build his temple in an appropriate place. For example, the Devil's temple would be in the Nether, the temple of an aquatic god underwater etc.

[edit] Quadrupedal

Steve's parents forgot to teach him how to walk. Steve has to crawl everywhere. No walking, no jumping, no sprinting. You must crouch while walking. Or, get the Smart Moving mod and crawl.

[edit] Birdy

Using a fly mod or creative fly the whole game. Taunt some creepers, get skeletons to shoot each other and see some amazing structures.

For your shelter, make a nest out of planks, wood and fences and hatch some chickens as chicks. Go out and hunt insects (spiders) for them and store the string in a chest. Store seeds, never go underground, and stay under a tree if it is raining or snowing.Run from ocelots. you can also act like other birds, such as eagles and owls.

[edit] Sacrifice

Play normally and try and get a lava bucket. Create a shrine with the lava bucket in the center. Throw in 64 logs for 1 point, 1 coal/redstone for 1 point, iron/lapis for 2 points, gold for 10, and diamond for 50. You can use any scoring system, but get the most points.

[edit] Dragon Sacrifice

Your god is more demanding! Kill the greatest of all creatures and sacrifice its offspring! Build a Shrine by placing lava in 8 diamond blocks. As soon as you can, dump the Enderdragon egg into it to win. Play it with the hatchable dragon egg mod for it to really sting! Score it or don't score it, but you don't win until the enderdragon egg feels the burn.

[edit] Ultra Sacrifice

Follow the rules of Religious man, but mine all day and stay in the temple at night. No sleeping. When you can get lava, make a shrine, and throw all the things you mine in the LAVA!

[edit] Pigs Are People Too!

Suit yourself for some fighting, and find a passive mob. Follow that mob all day, protecting it from all harm. Needless to say, once that mob dies, you've lost the game.

[edit] Static Static

Steve is very scared of static. Play as normal, but freeze when you see static. You must enter The End as early as you can.

[edit] Thirsty

As early as possible, craft a glass bottle. Then find water. Then keep drinking it, no matter what happens. Even if creepers come.

[edit] Lactose Lover

Same as Thirsty, but craft a bucket as early as possible, then find a cow, and don't stop drinking its milk!

[edit] Travel without legs

Steve can not walk because of the major poison from Cave Spiders. So, once you get poisoned, the key to this experience is only to travel by a minecart or boat. If you don't get poisoned within 5 (minecraft) days, start a new world.

[edit] Lactose Intolerant

The opposite of Lactose Lover. Steve can't drink milk or eat cake no matter what, and he must freeze for one minute when he sees a cow in his field of view (Dumb, huh?). No exceptions. Don't set it to Peaceful.

[edit] One Man in a Boat

Like Three Men in a Boat? Today, you can try the same experience! As soon as you can, build a boat, find some water and navigate. You mustn't take any object with you.

[edit] Tired

Steve's too tired to move or to kill mobs. Survive without moving (walking, swimming or flying) nor killing mobs. Using boats or minecarts is allowed... if you can build them. Mwahahah.

[edit] Hydrophobe

Do not touch water, ever. You may jump across it, you may build bridges across it, but don't enter. It's your choice if you want to avoid rain. On the event you do touch water, drown. If you touch 1-deep water, break the block underneath you and drown. Left a diamond in water? Place a block on it to raise the diamond out of water.

[edit] Sodium

Steve is made of sodium. As such, he will explode if he contacts water. If Steve is touched at all by water or is caught in precipitation, even Snow, delete the save file. Steve also cannot handle water bottles and thus cannot make potions. For a bit more of a challenge, Steve can't touch fallen snow. Other than that, game is normal. Or, to make it easier, in the event you do contact water, spawn TNT then surround yourself in it. Then, blow it up, simulating sodium. If you aren't dead, do it again until you are.

[edit] Mermaid

Stay in water for the rest of the game. You must at least be in one block at all times.

[edit] Doorknob

When he was a kid, Steve got shocked by a doorknob as a practical joke. The event traumatized him, and he is afraid to touch a door. The only way you can open and close doors are with pressure plates.

[edit] Doorknob II

The pressure plate shocked him the next day as a joke. He is afraid to use pressure plates. You have to use buttons.

[edit] Doorknob III

Unfortunately the button had to shock him. You can't even use trapdoors/pistons/other similar devices either. What can you use as doors? Sand.

[edit] Doorknob IV

Sadly, even the sand fell on his head. Steve? now has an aversion to all doorways of any kind. Every entrance must be completely open, and at least 3x3 wide.

[edit] Doorknob V

Later, A Creeper came in the door and blew him up. No Doorways,Even! Exit Through the ceiling.

[edit] Doorknob VI

A spider came through the hole in the ceiling. You must not have any permanent holes. One you make one, cover it up as quickly as you can.

[edit] Ore Survival

Hollow out an ore vein, and survive there. Immediately go spelunking, and find a suitable ore vein, and remove all blocks there. Eight Difficulties:

Easy: Find a Dirt vein. Hollow it out and live there. All utilities - chests, furnaces, crafting tables, farms, beds - must fit inside.

Medium-Easy: Find a Gravel vein. Hollow it out and live there. All utilities - chests, furnaces, crafting tables, farms, beds - must fit inside.

Medium: Find a Coal vein. Hollow it out and live there. All utilities - chests, furnaces, crafting tables, farms, beds - must fit inside.

Hard: Find an Iron vein. Hollow it out and live there. All utilities - chests, furnaces, crafting tables, farms, beds - must fit inside.

Very Hard: Find a Diamond vein. Hollow it out and live there. All utilities - chests, furnaces, crafting tables, farms, beds - must fit inside.

Chuck Norris: Find a hostile mob Spawner. Live there. Do not ever use light.

Mega Chuck Norris: Find a redstone vein above a lava pool. Hollow it out and live there. All utilities - chests, furnaces, crafting tables, farms, beds - must fit inside.

Impossible: For a challenge so hard that not even Chuck Norris can do, find a small dungeon next to a lava pool. Don't use lights, or anything that will produce light, except for natural lava. For even a greater challenge, follow the rules of D'aw, So Cute! and I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!!! Or maybe... get the Herobrine mod and do the greatest challenge. No peaceful. Take any amount of damage and delete your world.

[edit] Eco-Friendly

Live your life saving the Earth! Minecraft is being destroyed by pollution! Here are some great guidelines to help you along your eco-friendly life:

-Don't cut down trees; find your wood in NPC villages and mineshafts. If you ever are forced to cut down a tree, replant it immediately.

-Don't destroy rare habitats or place any blocks in them: mushroom biomes, dungeons, the End, the Nether or Tundra

-Don't burn anything in the furnace with wood or coal, only use lava. In fact, don't light any fires at all, it releases harmful CO2 gas.

-Put out any forest fires immediately! Forests are a shrinking part of our world, and we don't want to lose them!

-Don't litter, or drop items on the floor. Instead, create a chest or trash can and place your items there. To make an instant trash can, make a deep hole and put your trash in it.

-Reduce, reuse and recycle! Don't throw away leftovers or spare materials! Instead, use them for other things!

-Use renewable resources as much as possible. Your house should be small and made of something completely renewable, like cobblestone blocks. Dirt is NOT renewable.

-Use glowstone instead of torches wherever possible.

-Redstone is radioactive, whenever you need power, do not use any redstone (dust, torches, repeaters) and only use buttons, pressure plates, and switches, the only redstone you can use is a BUD switch and nothing else


Basically, DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD HURT THE EARTH!

[edit] Flow-Rida'

You can only use the currents of water to move. I don't care how you do it, just do it! If the game is glitched up and you can't move, you must play this way.

[edit] Monster Addict

This is tough - it's game mode "Give Me Everything Tonight", but if you see a monster, you must kill it with your bare hands. If it's an Enderman, then apply the Enderman game mode rules where you stare him down for the night.

For the master challenge:

Play by "I threw it on the ground" rules, but throw your most precious thing (yes, diamond) onto the ground once a day. Also follow the rules of "42".

For a challenge made for Chuck Norris, do it all in the Nether.

[edit] Vertigo

Steve is scared of heights. So scared that he wont go higher than layer 85 in the Overworld or The End. Press F3 to find your current height. If you go too high, you must fall to the ground and die/take fall damage. Do not enter the Sky Dimension as this would scare Steve out of his mind.

This does not apply to The Nether as it is considered to be in an alternate dimension, yet located under the overworld. if you use The Aether Collaboration Mod do not enter The Aether.

[edit] Banished

Steve is scared of creepers. So scared, in fact, that he's not willing to set foot in the Overworld ever again. Use inventory hacks to get a Nether portal in the End and a Ender portal in the Nether. Place a bed right next to the Ender portal so you can get back if you die.

[edit] Innovative

You are allowed only whatever redstone components or electrical things you want (including arrows, fire, and things that can be weaponized via redstone). Only rule, your contraption can only occupy 100 blocks in area/volume. Mind over matter guys, use that brain.

[edit] What goes down must go up

You have one day to prepare. Then the next day you must dig straight down till you reach bedrock. Then use your stuff to go up. Repeat and repeat. No stopping, not even for fighting in a dungeon. Don't have enough stuff to get to the top? Tough. Sit there. No peaceful.

[edit] What goes up must come down

The same as What goes down but must goes up, but instead of going down first, you have to go up, then follow the rules of I THREW IT ON THE GROUND! with every material used in the pillar after you go back down to ground level. No, you may not start pillaring at the top of a mountain.

[edit] Hell Bent for Leather

Steve LOVES leather. So much that he wants to wear a full suit of leather armor and needs at least one stack of 64 leather at all times. Also once he has at least two full stacks of leather, he must go to the Nether and stay there until he runs completely out of leather (or at least until there's less than one stack of leather).

[edit] No jumping

Steve can't jump and must use stairs or slabs. Swimming up in water is your choice. If you have Single Player Commands, bind the space bar to heal -20.

[edit] No pickaxe

Steve can't use a pickaxe. If Steve wants stone or ores, he must use creepers or TNT. To get to the Nether, he must blow up iron, get 6 drops, smelt it, make two buckets, fill one with water and one with lava, and mold the portal.

[edit] Village Survival

Live in a NPC village. Build your own home. Wall-in the village. Level the roads. Level the land. Improve the farms. Generally make-over the city until it fits your standards.

[edit] The Line of No Retreat

Very tough. Follow the sun for the entire game; you can pause and rest to make shelters and all that, but every block you cover must be covered only once...let's say that each block is a line. Once you cross that line, you can't go back across the line. So each step you take is your last step on that line. You cannot go back. No Peaceful.

[edit] Alone In The Dark

For the entire duration of the game, you cannot craft any torches. BOO!
To make it even harder, you can't gather any lava or glowstone and you can't set things on fire.

[edit] Far Lands or Bust! (Look up kurtjmac)

Chop down as few trees as possible, kill NOTHING and craft as little as possible. Always keep walking in the same direction: North, South, East or West. Play on Peaceful and see some amazing structures. Every once in a while, press F3 to see how far away you are.

[edit] Stoned

All your tools are stone tools. Hi creeper, will you blow up that diamond so that I can get it?

You can also max your FOV to Quake Pro for an even harder challenge. Then sprint to get your FOV up to 130.

Warning: DO NOT use drugs in real life.

[edit] I Threw It On The GROUND!!

You can craft stuff and all that, and live your normal life, but every minute, you need to throw something from your inventory on the GROUND!! That's right. That includes stacks. Very simple variation of gameplay.

[edit] Test Pilot

Steve was in the air force; as a result he likes flying REALLY fast. You must break the sound barrier with him as soon as possible and survive. I don't care how you do it JUST DO IT!!! P.S. no creative. P.P.S. No testing with mobs before launching yourself, you are a TEST pilot after all.

[edit] Crash Test Dummy

Just like Test pilot except that STEVE MUST DIE!!! P.S. You must have a custom skin that looks like a crash test dummy.

[edit] NASA

Like test pilot/crash test dummy except that this must be done on a multiplayer server and you may only launch other players. If you wind up with any dead astronauts you get shut down and must decommission your "space shuttle" and ban yourself from the server for a time (Forever is allowed). You must also publicize EVERY launch to the other players so they can all see. P.S. For the first 10 launches you must launch wolves (they're the closest minecraft has to monkeys) these animal tests do not shut you down if they fail and the animal dies.

[edit] Apollo 11

An alternate win condition for use with NASA you must launch someone 384,405,000 blocks up (the distance to the moon) and they must survive

[edit] Don't Tread On Me

Don't use your hands or swords to hurt mobs. Only your bow. And arrows. Don't have a bow or arrows? Too bad. No killing mobs without making some first. No exceptions. Normal gameplay continues.

[edit] Colors

Jump. Jump. Never. Stop. Jumping. Jump. Jump. Jump. No peaceful.

[edit] I Am Legend.

Don't break blocks, 'cause you can't. Don't place blocks, 'cause you can't. Try to survive. 'Cause you can't. (However, you can use creepers to obtain blocks.)

[edit] Refreshing!

Whenever there is weather, you have to be outside (the snow/rain has to touch you), no matter what time of day, or severity of weather, GET OUT THERE AND REFRESH YOURSELF WITH RAIN!!!

[edit] Team-Pain

A short, but painful, little one-day game. Try to die as many times as possible within one Minecraft day, including the night. Tools are allowed. Go ahead, get a little team-pain.

[edit] Always turn left

Change the controls so that both forward and left use the W key. Play as normal otherwise.

[edit] Always turn right

Like Always turn left, but instead change controls so both forward and right use the W key. Play as normal otherwise.

[edit] Vampire

Steve must not be in light level 15 (sunlight). Hard version: You can't be in light levels of 13 or higher.

[edit] Cain

"When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me shall slay me." ~Genesis 4:12-4

In this odd scenario, Steve is Cain. Begin by immediately chopping down the nearest tree you can find. Use the wood to build a workbench and then wooden axe. Use the axe once on another block of wood, but do not take it. Discard all the wood you have so all that is left is your axe. Then, play as normal, but following these rules:

  1. You are not allowed to build a hoe or grow crops of any kind. Stealing crops from an NPC village's farm is OK, with respect to the second rule, as is harvesting sugarcane. You cannot plant saplings.
  2. You should avoid any NPC villages. This is because if a villager sees you, you have to delete the save file and start again.
  3. You are not allowed to build any permanent (lasting more than one day) shelters. You must be a nomad. This rule can be ignored in a special condition described below in the section "Enoch".

Other than these rules, play continues as normal. You may attempt to win the game as normal (i.e., defeating the Enderdragon) or combine this with an alternate victory condition. Two such alternate victory conditions are described below.

[edit] Enoch

"And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch." ~Genesis 4:17

An alternate victory condition intended for use in this scenario is to build a city in the desert. You may use any technology which would have existed in the year 5000 BC. More specifically, all of the following blocks and items and all items which include them in crafting are forbidden:

As such, diamond will be unavailable to you unless you blow it up (you would need an iron pickaxe), and therefore obsidian will be unavailable (need a diamond pickaxe). The good news is that you can still raise animals, although you won't be able to breed them unless you get your wheat from NPC villages, since you can't grow your own. When building your city, Rule 3 (no permanent shelters) does not apply for the city.

[edit] Abel

"And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering." ~Genesis 4:4

Get a living sheep into an artificial pool of lava to offer as a sacrifice to win.


[edit] Noah

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.” Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

1. Make a huge boat with cages for two of every mob. 2. Put time-delay release mechanisms and water source blocks on high mountains to create floods. 3. Fix it so the entire world gets flooded. Survive in your ark.

[edit] Endersteve

Like an enderman, you must not be in a 2-block-high space.

[edit] Claustrophobic

Steve is afraid of confined spaces. He is so afraid of them that he will panic if he ever ends up in a space less than 2 blocks wide. Basically, Steve must have at least a space of 2 blocks to move in during the whole game, and that includes doors. For a harder game, he must always be in a 3-block-wide (and tall) space.

[edit] Wolves and hands

You may only kill mobs with your hands or with tamed wolves. That means no swords, no bow and arrow, and not even a fishing rod to reel mobs in. You also cannot drop entities on mobs, such as sand or gravel.

[edit] Dogpile

You may attack a mob with your fist once. After that, any wolves you have must kill the mob. You may kill skeletons freely if you don't have any wolves, but otherwise, no attacking.

[edit] Falcon

Kill all mobs with your fist.

[edit] Grass Allergies

Other than when you spawn, you may not walk on grass. You must destroy the grass and place it to get dirt. Or, replace it with another useless thing like cobblestone or sand. If you walk on grass, delete the save and start over.

[edit] Don't Change Layers

You must always be on the same layer as when you spawn. You may place blocks to change your spawn layer.

[edit] First Item Slot

You must only use the first slot of your hotbar. To change what you want to use, you have to open your inventory and move it.

[edit] Immortal

Only use Moss Stone, Mossy Stone Bricks, Cracked Stone Bricks, Nether Brick, Glowstone, and Obsidian to build, with certain exceptions. You can place saplings, seeds, pumpkin seeds, melon seeds, empty filled buckets, Crafting Tables, Furnaces, Brewing Stands, Minecart tracks, Redstone items, and Enchantment Tables. Upon placing any block on allowed building materials you placed, you can never move it again, not including planted trees and farmable items. If you place it on a block that isn't a building material allowed (aside from farmland, but you can't place it without an inventory editor), you must destroy it ASAP after you're done with it. For an extra challenge, only use Stone Bricks and Obsidian you made using lava, and you can't move Obsidian.

[edit] Werewolf

Steve can only attack mobs during a Full Moon, but can still kill mobs via traps. Steve may attack as normal in the Nether or in The End. You may not let a villager see you during a full moon. If you kill a mob directly (including villagers) not during a full moon or let a villager see you during a full moon, delete your save.

[edit] Epic

Defeat the Enderdragon without dying, getting shot by skeletons, crafting any better tools than wood, taming wolves, attacked by zombies (zombie pigmen also are zombies), killing pigs (yes, you can't kill zombie pigmen that are already attacking you), smelting, or getting poisoned by cave spiders. You must enter any abandoned mineshafts you find, and destroy the cave spider spawner. Getting poisoned by a Cave Spider Jockey or shot by any Spider Jockey doesn't violate the rules. Upon violating a rule, delete your save. PLAY ON HARDCORE!!!

[edit] The Aether Epic

Get the Aether Mod and conquer 100 Bronze Dungeons, 10 Silver Dungeons, and 5 Golden Dungeons. Get a Black Moa and make a Aether-worthy base. Get all Gravitite Armor and tools, make all the dart shooters, get 10 Hammer of Notches, get a full set of Obsidian Armor, Phoenix Armor, Phoenix tools, and Neptune Armor. Obtain 50 stacks of Lightning Knives, a Lightning Sword, a Flaming Sword, and the Vampire Blade. When finished, go back to the Overworld and show that Creeper who's boss! PLAY ON HARDCORE, AND DEFEAT THE ENDERDRAGON!

[edit] Zombie

Go into a cave with 10 wood and a sapling, and live there. Only come outside if it's nighttime, and run back into your cave during daytime. Extra Challenge, using only your starting materials and the surrounding area, convert a monster spawner into an experience farm.

[edit] No Mining

Steve can't break blocks. Not at all.

[edit] Powered by Creeps

All placed blocks must be TNT. You may place utility items, but you can only place 1 crafting table before you have to place it on TNT. Only kill creepers if you need Gunpowder. Your home must fit all your utility items in it, and it may not be expanded.

[edit] One hand

Only use 1 hand.

[edit] F1

Press F1, no HUD anymore.

[edit] Allergic

Steve gets an allergic reaction when he comes into contact with dust so bad, he is removed from existence! Play the game without getting Redstone Dust and Glowstone dust. If you get a single piece of contraband substance in your inventory, delete your save. The solution to Glowstone block-related needs? Use Jack o lanterns.

[edit] Allergic II

Oh no, now Coal stirs up the reaction! Play the game without obtaining coal or charcoal, since even charred wood is potent enough to cause the reaction. Otherwise the same as Allergic. Have fun with your lethal light source, lava, if you can find enough iron to actually make a bucket, or dancing with cave spiders.

[edit] Allergic III

Steve is even allergic to pollen and, for some stupid reason, seeds! Play the game without getting any flowers or seeds. Yes, you can steal wheat from NPC villages, but you still lose if you get any variation of seed. Otherwise the same as Allergic II.

[edit] Allergic IV

Steve's nose is so sensitive, the allergic reaction even occurs when he's on the same block as anything that's dusty! Aside from when you spawn, you MUST delete your save if you touch the same block that causes some sort of allergic reaction to occur, including Tall Grass because it pollinates via wind, but not Coal (Ore), because you need to mine coal to cause coal dust to stir up. Otherwise the same as Allergic III. Yes, you can mine/punch any contraband objects and let them despawn, like in earlier variations.

[edit] Allergic V

Steve Is Even Allergic To Water And Clouds!

Touching Either Kills Steve Instantly. Also No Water Buckets,Water Bottles,Or Potions! Otherwise the same as Allergic IV.

[edit] Pack Leader

Tame 2 wolves and breed them. Get as many wolves as possible. Once you have 10, never leave your home without taking the wolves with you. Since you can't enter the end without leaving the wolves behind, you win the game by reaching 100 wolves.

[edit] Old Lady

Same rules as Pack leader, but you're with cats, not wolves

[edit] Mechanical Maniac

Same rules as pack leader/old lady, but with golems. Try to get a mix of snows and irons. They can't be bred, which makes it tougher!

[edit] Behind enemy lines

Steve is a soldier who got lost behind enemy lines, this is a nomadic experience (not on peaceful) were hostile mobs are enemy soldiers (kill them quickly) and NPC villages are enemy cites (don't camp out in them), you requires weapons always, better when played on a server because some players will be your comrades and other players can be the enemy soldiers hunting you, and your comrades, down.

[edit] Alternate Wins

[edit] One Raft

Go 1000 Blocks in a boat during a single trip.

[edit] Collector

Collect everything. You can obtain wood, crafting tables, and chests. Store EVERYTHING in chests. Build a fort out of chests. Kill the Creeper with chests. Never use anything else.

[edit] How many Creepers can Steve Creep?

Run after Creepers, and see how many YOU can detonate in a day. Play on hard (Where ironically this is easiest).

[edit] Bad Dog!

Find a pack of wolves, and make them chase you. Don't hurt the wolves, use snowballs. Just walk (NO RUNNING). No creative, Hardcore recommended.

[edit] Fire-blowdey-do-bang-sizzle-crackle-BOOM!

Blow things up. And set things on fire. All day. No shelters. No armor. No peaceful. No creative. Just you, some flint and steel...and TNT. Oh yeah.

[edit] Creeper

Always carry a TNT with you. A mob grinder helps. Whenever you see a mob or another player, detonate it and jump on top of it. During lightning storms, use at least 5 TNT. Do not kill monsters with weapons or your hands.

[edit] Poisoned

Steve is a drug addict! Get whatever you need for potions, and make either a potion of poison or a potion of harming. Each day (or two days, for the easy challenge) you must craft a potion of this type and use it. After you drink the potion, you have to turn on 3D Anaglyph without using glasses and bring FOV to Quake Pro. The effect wares off over 1 day.

[edit] No Right Click

Play your entire game without touching the right click. No control-changing.

[edit] No Left Click

A harder version of No Right Click. No control-changing.

[edit] No Mouse

Sadly, you're still not allowed in options>controls.

[edit] No Pausing

You must not pause unless you are going to quit.

[edit] Deathwish

Steve is suicidal because of a traumatizing experience involving a chicken and a bucket of lava (in a nightmare he had once). Every day, he wants to kill himself so he walks off cliffs, jumps into lava, hugs creepers, looks at Endermen....

[edit] Jackass

Just like Deathwish, except that Steve doesn't want to die. So everyday he puts on a fresh set of diamond armor and comes home with no armor at all, 1/2 heart, zero hunger and covered with arrows, claw scratches, bruises, spider bites and black scorch marks.

[edit] Hot Potato

Steve wants to fool with grenades, pulling out the pins and seeing if he can let go of them before he blows up. The problem is, he has to do that with TNT and Creepers which aren't so predictable. Set the TNT off, then stand on it only getting off just before it explodes. Run near a Creeper, then run back.

[edit] Herobrine

Oh dear, it turns out you're Herobrine! Your job is to take leaves off trees, make triangular shaped hills and run around scaring innocent villagers, if a villager sees you, run away as fast as possible. You can not build shelters or any tools. You may eat raw meat to survive. Try it on Hardcore!

[edit] One Chunk Man

Only collect and use resources in the 16x16 chunk you spawned in (Recommend using a seed that spawns you near a tree). even diamonds if you go touch move out of this confined space delete world. You may use sticky pistons to get things out of range.

[edit] Kangaroo

Steve has become a human kangaroo. While moving, hold down the jump key. You may place blocks and mine without jumping.

[edit] Megajump

Use mods to increase your jump height, and never equip armor. Otherwise like Kangaroo.

[edit] Eyes closed

Play with your eyes closed.

[edit] Ghast Invaders

On survival, inventory hack a TON of Ghast spawn eggs. Give yourself some armor (diamond not allowed), 1-2 swords, a bow, and a stack of arrows. Spawn all of the ghasts (if your using the too many items mod for this, you can switch to creative to give yourself a brief head start, but you MUST turn back to survival before you attack.) Now kill all the ghasts! Bonuses: do this in a village to see how much of the village is destroyed in the process! First try to find a texture pack that makes ghasts look like UFOs for the best effect!

[edit] Pyro

Be like the Pyro from Team Fortress 2. Set mobs on fire, or hit them with axes. Simple as that.

[edit] GLaDOS

(Creative) Grab some spawn eggs. Build your tests. Place the mobs. Watch them die. (Survival) You have a day to prepare. Build a base or a shelter. Afterward, you must always stay inside and be suspended in the air. IF this seems boring, you can just do the Creative variant.

[edit] Chell

You must install the Portal Gun mod. Each time you play, you must play a Portal adventure map using the mod. You can stop after 24 hours of playing this experience.

[edit] Unstable Ordinance Disposal

Mod in TNT until it fills your inventory, and 1 Flint & Steel. All the TNT must be placed together, and you may not destroy any. Make the TNT explode using the Flint & Steel. Don't die. Making the TNT explode with a BUD switch is allowed, as long as you use fire to trigger the BUD switch.

[edit] Built on Sand

Everything you build must be made out of sand or gravel. If you have TMI, you may exchange 1 stone block for 4 gravel and 1 Sandstone for 4 sand. Play on Hardcore. Be ready to fight some spiders!

[edit] Nuclear Air

Instead of sand and gravel, you must use TNT instead. If you see a creeper, make it explode. No, you can't lure a creeper away from your home.

[edit] Confused

Play with a language you don't know.

[edit] Experimenting with Seeds

Here are some possible goals, post your records here (record, seed, coordinates)

Furthest away from 0,0 (500 blocks)

Highest and lowest layers spawned (lowest=67, highest=80)

Exposed ores (other than iron and coal)

Spawn in a cave

Spawn on a mushroom biome

Exposed dungeon

Highest mountain (layer 121)

Largest vein of each ore (2 or more connected) (Records so far: coal=30, iron=10, redstone=8, gold=8, lapis=8, diamond=8)

Natural cactus farm

Lowest tree (in a ravine) (layer 45)

[edit] Extreme Mountain

The goal is to get to the top of an extreme mountain biome, once you have done that, fall off. No creative, hardcore is your choice.

[edit] Worship The Gods

   Zanatos
   God of cowardice, theft, and assassination. All Mobs MUST be killed from behind. Run if it sees 
   you. If following  these rules on multiplayer, kill players from behind, steal other player´s
   hard-earned stuff, and worship Zanatos once a day, by throwing gold into an artificial pool of
   lava.
   Kajhark
   God of alchemy, magic, and enchanting. Mobs may only be killed with an enchanted weapon.
   If not, use potions. Worship him by sacrificing a potion in a artificial pool of lava.
   Barron
   God of creativity, economy, trading, and intelligence.
   Create beautiful structures, sell things, and worship him by making skyscrapers.
   Dakren
   God of destruction, darkness, and evil.
   Spread evil and destruction in his name. Stay in the dark.
   Worship him by sacrificing your best weapon once a day.

[edit] Multiplayer

[edit] All-On Warfare

Create a 500X500 bedrock wall. Bigger is possible, but no smaller. Make teams of players. Scratch-build several biomes. Give players one day to mine, build a base, craft stuff etc. Then hide chests containing goodies everywhere. From that day on, players may only use what they already had, what they find in these chests (make them dangerous & hard to find!) or what they take from others. No Enchanting/Smelting/Crafting/Farming/Etc. Make sure there are NO sheep and NO ways to gain dye. Players can find wool colors that grant them privileges.

-Dark green: Allow Tree Farming

-Light Green: Allow Cacti/Sugar Cane Farming

-Yellow: Allow Wheat/Pumpkin/Melon Farming

-Brown: Allow Recipe Crafting (NOT entities such as Snow/Iron Golems)

-Black: Allow Entity Crafting & Snow Farming (NOT Recipe Crafting)

-Light Grey: Allow Mining (Make This One Rare!)

-Magenta: Allow Building (NOT Magenta! Edit Languages if you wish.)

-Cyan: Allow Smelting

-Dark Blue: Allow Enchanting

The last team standing wins!

[edit] IRS

First convince the admin that players should pay him some items every minecraft week. Then ask if you can be his "tax collector". If he says yes then SLAUGHTER EVERYONE WHO FAILS TO MAKE THEIR PAYMENTS and bring the stuff they drop to the admin.

[edit] Building inspector

Blow up any building that doesn't meet the following requirements: 1. No more than half it's blocks are flammable. 2. It has an exit that can be rapidly used in an emergency. 3. Lacks some sort of security plan. 3 minecraft days before you detonate the building you must inform whoever lives there that he should either: retreat to a safe distance and watch the blast or modify his building to meet requirements.

[edit] Team Castle

Each team searches for a stronghold (It's up to them if they rebuild them or not) and makes a good stairway out of it. Then each team places a block of their choice in the middle of the stronghold. They have to find other strongholds and loot that block to take it back to their stronghold's block.

[edit] YOU IDIOT!!!!!!

This one is pretty self-explanatory; just do dumb things until eventually the only thing people say to you is YOU IDIOT!!!!!!

[edit] Big Bad Steve

Try to earn up stuff in a few days, make a good reputation in a server, then TAKE OVER! (Works best with Op on) Try to make servants and statues, and maybe even an army of Snow Golems! Basically try to rule the server and make all your slaves! Use redstone to build traps and such for players who attempt to thwart your plans! Also, there are three additional rules: 1. NO GIVING UP! You must stay a villain, but you can act good if a plan requires it. 2. Live In Secret! Live in a cave, lab, or hole. Just make it either secret or far away. 3. Always be Plotting~! That one's self-explanatory.


[edit] Siege

Similar to Team Castle except that one team attempts to destroy another team's village by blowing key parts of it up (farms, libraries, the forge etc..) or take it over by killing the defenders (each member of both teams have three lives). Once you have died three times, do not respawn. The defenders win if every member of the attackers team dies three times.

[edit] Steve The Thief

Simple, Thief, Steal and Run. If you get caught you lose.

[edit] Chaos

You must fulfill the whims of your chosen Ruinous Power (Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch or Slaanesh). Or be Chaos undivided!

[edit] Khorne

Blood for the Blood God! Every time you see another player, kill him. Every time you see a mob, slay it. Every time there is nothing to kill, go hunting. Do not stop shedding blood!

[edit] Nurgle

Spread disease in the name of Father Nurgle. The closest thing to disease is poison, so make lots of potions with poison effects and throw them everywhere. Also trick players to falling into mineshafts where they get bitten by cave spiders.

[edit] Tzeentch

You as a servant of the Architect of Fate must change everything. Build, destroy, destroy, build, it is up to you how to change things but things must be changed.

[edit] Slaanesh

Utmost perfection is the glory of the Prince of Excess. Every time you build something, make it better. Once you are done with improvements, improve some more. No construction is the best, there are only better works.

[edit] Chaos Undivided

Heed the ways of all the Chaos Gods! You must worship each god equally and when choosing between this ritual or that, find ways around it.

[edit] Iron Man

Get some friends and play one of the above survival or custom map. If anyone dies, you fail. Play like a cooperative campaign.

[edit] How many blocks can we get?

Two or more teams compete to get as many blocks as possible. This can be clay, Wood, Sand, or even Iron, Diamond blocks, Lapis Lazuli blocks!

[edit] Faction Wars

(Played best with faction plugin)

Set up a server with 100 people in total. divide them into 10 groups of 10. These factions will have to decide how they name their group and the colors of them.

Give each GROUP the following:

-One full Iron armor set

-One Iron sword

-One Iron shovel

-One Iron hoe

-One Iron axe

-One Iron pickaxe

-One potion of Instant Health I (NOT a splash potion)

-Eight regular seeds

-One stack of planks

-One door

-One chest (Or backpack, if everyone has that mod)

-One furnace

-Fifteen Coal (Or Charcoal)

-One crafting table

-Four torches

-One Bow

-One stack of arrows

-One Compass

-One Clock

-One Map

-One wool (of their faction's color) and two fences (For making their faction's flag)


Give each PERSON the following:

-One bed

-One bread

-One boat* (Ocean)

-One sapling* (Desert/Ocean)

-One dirt* (Desert/Ocean)


(* Indicates specific biome only; see below)

Then, each GROUP may choose ONE item (not a stack) as a luxury from the following list: (Please note that normally unobtainable items (Bedrock,End Portal etc.)are not allowed.)

-Any food (Except Cakes and Golden Apples)

-Empty Bucket

-Fishing Rod

-Any Wood or Stone tool (Leather in the case of armor)

-Flint & Steel

-Any building material (Except Obsidian, Solid Ore Blocks, etc.)

-Furnace

-Crafting Table

-Chest (or backpack)

-Ladder

-Wooden Door

-Trapdoor

-Glass Pane

-Iron Bar

-Paper

-Book

-Sugarcane

-Any 1st level potion (NOT a splash potion)

-Coal

-Charcoal

-Torch

-Boat

-Cactus

-Pumpkin OR Melon seed

-Redstone

-Mob drops

(Feel free to add in case I missed out on something)

Then, each group travels in a set direction decided by the leaders. (One group stays at the starting point) Traveling lasts 20 Minecraft days (At night, everyone should sleep) During this time, anything may be done that doesn't take long (i.e. chopping wood or looting a village is allowed, Exploring huge caverns is not.) Wherever the group arrives after the travel, they MUST set up their base (your lucky if you arrive in a NPC village), but this can be done at ANY height (Yes, you can live in that Stronghold!) Building is only allowed in a 5X5X5X5 area around the flag (including the flag itself and the pole.)

It's up to the players who leads the group (A Democracy, Theocray or Royalty, for example) New players can join in at any faction.

Factions can declare war, have a peace, etc. This is all up to the factions.

[edit] Gladiators

Create a huge colosseum and have players fight for supremacy. Make bets in any currency (e.x. paper or iron) and convert winnings to rare materials. If you want you can add angry Zombie Pigmen to the fight. (Modded)

[edit] The Hunger Games

Create either a server or an arena with walls of glass and at least 3 different biomes, a mountain, lake and a river. Get a even number of people (preferably 24)and start them on stone slabs in a plain.

In front of them, have a bunch of blocks sticking out of the ground. Under the blocks, have different items. On the edges of the circle of blocks make them glass blocks with unimportant items like sticks under them. Closer to the center, make them dirt block, closer still, cobblestone, finally, brick and obsidian. They all have items under them corresponding to how hard the block is to mine. When you start, the players can choose to run, or stay to mine, AND FIGHT!

They hide in the different biomes and try to kill each other over the days until their is one winner. Referees and spectators can wander around watching AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A SKIN WITH ALL BLACK COLOR AND RED TRIM. Game makers may place caves around the map. The admin(s) give a list of all who have died at night

Rules-

-Players CANNOT kill, talk to or interact with referees and spectators

-likewise for refs and spectators, except refs can talk to or interact with rule breakers

- isolate all campfires, no burning down the forest.

- no mining or digging except to get the items at the Start

- no killing yourself, go pick a fight if you want to die

- no giving your or others position away

Starting items(don't let this limit you, this is just an outline)

Under glass block/ -sticks -chicken eggs -leaves -feather -string

Under dirt/ -planks -pork chops (raw) -stone -flint -seeds -coal

Under Cobble/ -torch -chest -arrow -apple -cooked foods -boat -bucket -stone tools

Under Brick/ -All foods -Minecart -Minecart track -iron tools -Cake -bow -lava bucket -dispenser -bed

Under obsidian/ -Wolf+bones -TNT -Iron blocks -pumpkin -Redstone items -Mod items (instant shelter, anyone?)

It would be cool if someone made a whole hunger games server.

May the odds ever be in your favor.

[edit] WMD

Fill your inventory with TNT then demolish the world but there are 3 rules 1. The explosions must never stop; as soon as one blast is over you must begin readying For the next one. 2. Surprise people; the first sign that there is going to be a blast should be the blast itself. 3. Bigger=better each bomb must consume at least 2 stacks of TNT if possible you should blow a whole hotbar of TNT all at once.

(MAKE SURE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE ADMINS BEFORE DOING THIS!!!!)

[edit] "Should I be doing This?"

Underground build a powerful machine that can lag a server so horribly that it's impossible to play. once built monologue about the machine what it can do and whether you should use it for one full day on the server's chat. If they find you before activation the final answer is "NO I WON'T!" or something similar. If they don't find you the final answer is you turning on the machine... after activation I'd advise disconnecting.

[edit] Redstone Ruins

Build a huge automated fortress with: a two-way elevator, 3 automated farms, TNT cannons that can pound anyone in render distance into submission, an enchanting room with sticky pistons that enable control over spell level, a potion lab with dispensers for ingredients and WAY TOO MANY TRAPS!!! After building cover it in vines, disable some of the non-trap devices by removing key components, plunge it into darkness(mostly), and leave it for someone to find, repair, and live in.

[edit] City Wars

Make a server, preferably with a friend from real life, and make a ruined, modern city in creative mode. Window broken, doors smashed, walls blown up. Hide chests with bows, arrows, diamond tools and armor, potions, enchanted swords, blocks, and food. Make the entire world post apocalyptic, with cities along the way. Make the largest city around spawn. Every city must be ruined. Then, make a base that has owner/ admin plugins so nobody can destroy it. You and your friend should live here. Finally, allow people on, and set the gamemode to survival. Always on hard. Full pvp. And TNT. Invented by BronzeYeti and Zackthunder.

[edit] The Gambler

Go on to a server, become rich, get power, and gamble to your hearts content. If that doesn't please you, blow up the casino.

[edit] Team Fortress

Learn how to play Team Fortress 2 and try to replicate it in Minecraft. Take this example into mind. The scout uses a Potion of swiftness, and a Sword enchanted with knockback (The Force-A-Nature). The soldier uses Splash Potions (his rockets). The Pyro uses Flint and Steel or a sword enchanted with fire aspect. The Demoman uses TNT, TNT, and more TNT. Bonus points for TNT jumping! The Heavy has a full set of Diamond Armor but a relatively weak weapon. The Engineer has Splash Potions, Arrows, and Fire Charges, but instead of using them directly, he has to fire them from dispensers (his sentry.) He can use redstone, pressure plates, repeaters, buttons, and levers. The Medic gets splash potions of Healing and a potion of regeneration for himself. The Sniper uses a Bow and Arrows (The Huntsman) and maybe a Splash Potion of weakness. (Jarate) The Spy gets a potion of invisibility. (If that's ever included, see Potion Effects.) Until then, Ender Pearls can simulate his invisibility. His weapon is a Sword for quick backstabs.

Build an arena based off of a tf2 map (2Fort, anyone?) or your own idea and put beds in the spawn rooms with chests with each class. Make the arena out of obsidian, tnt, or other strong blocks so it doesn't get destroyed. For Arena mode, play without the beds. For capture the flag, place a block of wool as the flag. For an ideal arena, you could make a redstone mechanism that not only plays a sound when the wool is taken and captured, but also keeps track of the score. For capture point, use pressure plates, and for payload, have a minecart track with a detector rail. Invite a bunch of friends, and have fun tf2ing!

[edit] Countries

Start with a large building with a market place, large meeting rooms, some storage rooms too. Make teams of at least 6 people and give them 5 minecraft days to get materials and supplies. However only allow getting wood, crafting and mining for coal and stone. Any food gotten on the 5 day trip must be eaten or if it is still there then it must be thrown away. After that week call each team back and bestow a gift to them such as:

  • Furnaces
  • Wool
  • Vehicles
  • Maps and compasses
  • Enchantment tables
  • Any other stuff that will decide their main industry.

This gift will decide their countries main industry (Eg. Maps and Compasses = exploring, lots of parks, nature etc.). Each country is allowed farming but it must not overtake their main industry. They also must name their country and have a trail leading to it in case new players join the server so they can live in one of the countries. Their government can be whatever they want and the main goal is to make their country prosper. They may return once a month to the starting point to trade, talk, do business (GOVERNMENT BUSINESS! Just did caps to make it clear) and other stuff that governments do.

They will then go far away and mark out some land where their country will be established.

[edit] In the Sky

Start with a mothership building, with separate farm squares, supply rooms, meeting rooms and any other essential room. Build the required amount of sky islands and make a 20x20 grass field and a 20x20 stone area with a ladder leading up to each. Have a walkway leading to other islands and a giant water reservoir. Give each person 1 minecraft week to gather supplies. However they must choose one night to rest and not collect anything at all. After that week they must return to the mothership building and choose luxury items totaling 10 points:

  • 1. A bed (1)
  • 2. 32 Redstone dust (3)
  • 3. Lava bucket (3)
  • 4. Water bucket (2)
  • 5. Diamond block (4)
  • 6. Gold block (2)
  • 7. 16 Trapdoors (1)
  • 8. 3 blocks of TNT (1)
  • 9. A boat (1)
  • 10. 16 rails (2)
  • 11. A minecart (2)
  • 12. A set of iron armor (3)
  • 13. 10 saplings (2)
  • 14. 5 stone pressure plates (1)
  • 15. 32 Bonemeal (1)
  • 16. 64 Arrows (1)
  • 17. Cake (1)
  • 18. 64 Cookies (2)
  • 19. Enchanting table (4)
  • 20. 16 of each mushroom (2)

Then they climb up a ladder to an island. Destroy part of the ladder (High up). Players are allowed a farm with animals on the ground which they can visit once ever 2 minecraft weeks and they are allowed 2 emergency visits to the ground. They must thrive on the island and when they get tired of it they say I MISS THE LAND! Or if they use up all 2 emergency visits and have visited their farm in the 2 weeks and come down. When they leave other players can loot their island. The winner is the last player living in the sky.

[edit] Family Farm

wander around collecting as many diffrent plants as you can. when done make a list of people you want to have a family farm. lastly make a farm for each plant and have that farm's stuff be theres.(good idea do single player but ask family what they wish to do with harvested mats).
