Raz is Guiness v2.0

Looks nice. Only issues we have are they instant homes and the copypasta look the map has. Looks like you made one corner, copied,rotated, and pasted.

If you added some wood or wool so the homes were very easily flooded and perhaps added some uniqueness to the map, it would be awesome.

Alright then!

Here's the updated version, Ogarci

We looked over the modified map. Instant home is made better, but there are still things some of the staff had problems.
Mainly the issues were that it was flat and empty, with nothing to really 'explore'.

What I would suggest is to make the top less empty, and at the same time more natural. You by no means have to make a modern mall, but try to fill it in with shops, stands, or interesting tidbits here and there. Gives the players a reason to look around and enjoy the map more.

Okay! I think I have an idea on that. A new version may be done for Friday.
Also just to remind you the main feature of the map was underground. Whilst you can make an instant home you will miss out on the large repertoire of coal/iron/netherrack/netherbrick down below.
