Vanilla Minecraft is considered to be one of the greatest gaming achievements of all time by many players. The game is fun and has sold a record-breaking number of copies. However, Minecraft's community has been hard at work on content other than the vanilla version of the game since it launched back in 2011. Players have been busy working on mods, mini-games, skins, survival spawns or “origins,” and most importantly, adventure maps.

Adventure maps are essentially player-made, custom quests that everyone can experience through the Minecraft Marketplace. Adventure maps usually have a custom map that supports the storyline of the quest, and has lots to explore. The Marketplace has tons of adventure maps available for players to use. Some are free, while others are hidden behind a paywall.

This article will list some of the most popular adventure maps on the Minecraft Marketplace right now.
