In this Minecraft map, players will wake up on a deserted island with bridges that lead to eight other islands. The bridges have been destroyed, and there is no way for players to return home.

Minecraft locals on the main island, who are similar to villagers in the original game, will repair the bridges after players complete tasks for them. The map looks similar to a survival map. However, the theme is more adventure than survival.
