Why can't Creating a Challenge Map stay

This page needs a rewrite; right now it's a mess of ideas. If anybody here makes custom maps, can you sprinkle some knowledge of spawn and SMP mechanics for entities in a section? That would be enough for me to organize the page. Beary605 04:12, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Response to above question
I really don't know much about mob spawning, but I can offer you some advice to help.

Using Spawn Cages is probably the best method of specifically spawning mobs for traps, but this is a little difficult to get, as you need mods. You could try Tripwires and Dispensers for spawning, just ensure the player cannot open the Dispenser Interface and take out the eggs. Researching the spawn mechanics also helps, as does getting a friend to literally CHANGE the spawn mechanics in the game. If all else fails, get a modder to help, or even contact Mojang for information on spawn mechanics.

Sorry if this is no help to you, but if it is, good luck with the map!!

Pyramid idea
Why not put mazes in unlighted bedrock pyramids? Or a single path so every obstacle must be dealt with. When a maze is solved, staircases lead to a maze on a different floor. Pyramids of resources can be built as well. In fact, I am making a challenge map with this method. Wwei23 (talk) 01:01, 30 December 2016 (UTC) Wwei23 (talk) 01:01, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You can put that on the page. It would be recommended to work on it in your userspace before publishing. The BlobsPaper.png 01:59, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
