Instead of placing players in an open environment, Temple of Terrors pits players against the dangers of an enclosed map in a bid to escape. Players must make multiple offerings to the gods of the temple in order to obtain new powers and eventualy find their way out.

Although the temple may seem empty and mysterious, it contains plenty of dangers and puzzles that stand between players and freedom. Fortunately, a well-established checkpoint system will keep you from having to start from scratch as you explore the various routes and passages of the temple.

While this map is a mandatory two-player experience, it's still an incredibly fun one. Inspired by The Legend of Zelda, Sword of Light follows a duo of players playing the role of treasure hunters as they delve into six unique and distinct dungeons, complete with their own puzzles and boss encounters.

A hidden darkness is encroaching upon the map's land, and players will have to battle, parkour, and puzzle-solve their way to defeat the threat on the horizon.

While this map takes significant inspiration from the open-world RPG Elden Ring, that doesn't mean it isn't well-made. Players step into the shoes of the Unhollow, guided by their Golden Compass as they traverse a large open world.

Entering dungeons and crafting their way to victory, an Unhollow's job is only accomplished when the wicked Demigod is destroyed. The map contains a ton of custom content, including custom weapons, armor, tools, and over 15 hours of gameplay within the main storyline alone.

This map is one for fans who love the game's more traditional gameplay. No command blocks, no tricks, and no necessary resource packs. The main story can take anywhere from five to ten hours, with the map having a 750-block radius in every direction.

Within the map's confines are tons of dungeons and secrets to be discovered, and players who enjoy exploring will get much more out of this map in comparison to those who simply want to rush through it. This map may not have all the bells and whistles that some of its counterparts do, but observant players can still see plenty of love and care placed into every block.
