You have mysteriously awaken from a life you cannot remember. You have found yourself in some sort of afterlife, be it heaven, purgatory, or hell itself. A land made entirely out of diamond ore.

Remembering nothing of your pastlife, you decide that you must venture and explore this captivating world.

You are allowed to mine if you can. Do whatever it takes to get of this strange ring island. By ring island, I mean that you are isolated by the void itself from the rest of the land of Elai.

Godspeed.

Feel free to email me concerning any questions that may arise in your adventures.

My rather uninspiring efforts on the Wolf World (seed "wolf"). Mostly uploaded to this site so I could figure out where the heck I got to when I got lost while out hunting with my pet dog one day and couldn't find my way back to my mine despite a game-week's effort, thanks to forgetting to bring my compass along with me when I went out. Nearly all the structures on this map are underground and thus probably won't be very interesting to look at.

Update: Finally have something visible above ground, a bridge connecting my three main bases and a fourth one that got abandoned due to large lava lakes directly underneath it at bedrock layer. Currently searching for a good location for a fifth base. Also wondering if the cave map will help me figure out the humongous underground cavern discovered at one of my bases' bedrock branch mines.

Update 2: Built a couple new bases, including a spectacular new minecart station hub and an impressive observation tower. Currently trying to find a good route for the minecart tracks to loop back around towards eventually becoming a complete circle.

My new world to explore the new features of Minecraft 1.8.1, on the seed "Professor layton". Found the seed on the official forums, looked interesting...and it sort of is. There's a big old Abandoned Mineshaft underground right under spawn, and a large underground Stronghold not too far away. There's supposed to be another stronghold and an NPC village fairly close, but I haven't found them yet. Mostly I've been spelunking so far, but I built one outdoor and one underground Chicken Coop, plus roofed in a bunch of chickens who trapped themselves in a shallow ravine. Most other stuff is underground.

Update: Well, explored that stronghold...and now I'm digging it up, archaeology-style! The area has been roofed off with an enormous 50x64 glass roof, and inside I'm busily excavating all the rock and soil above the Stronghold until I can expose the whole thing to sunlight. I recently went exploring a bit on the surface, and am wondering if anything else interesting may have turned up in the cave map.

This is the final state of Mons Domus, the cooperative underground city built by the members of the Dwarven City Project. I'm uploading this version because the map for the original one uploaded here didn't render properly.

We actually got a bit further along than this, but we had a problem with our pro-hosting plan and lost nearly a year's worth of work. We're currently trying to work out a co-hosting agreement with the nice folks over at GolemLand.

UPDATE 2020: This new version of the map is one where one of the original members used as a single-player map for a while, and took some resources off to try and build a satellite mine some distance from the original mine in newly spawned chunks after a game update.
