The final days of submissions to a thing like adventure multiplex are always hectic, There is tonnes to do, lots of entries and lots of bugs to be fixed. I made a quick video on what will be going on after the submission due date and what to expect as far as a timeline goes. So far the quality of encounters is really high and I’m looking forward to watching people play through them. Even with a month of submission time I got a lot of complaints about not enough time given… but I guess it’s impossible to please everyone.

The 1.6 effect and Multiplex 2 update.
Minecraft 1.6 is out and that means everyones maps are breaking… everyone except Jigarbov! I have made sure that my tech does not rely on bugs or exploits but features of Minecraft that remain rock solid through version changes. This means nearly all of my maps already run perfectly well on Minecraft 1.6. Of course there are exceptions to the rule and the following maps currently do not work as intended (but are still technically playable from start to finish: Eronev 2: The Soul Cauldron. That’s it. when it gets fixed for 1.6 I’ll be sure to update this post.
The only one I actually had to change was City of Love because of the new resource packs. Keep in mind these get installed almost exactly the same way texture packs were installed in the past but instead you put the “City of Love Resource Pack” into the “resource Pack” folder! Do I really need to make a video of it? Probably.
Adventure Multiplex 2 is clipping along at a great pace. We just passed the 30 encounter mark which is AWESOME! Now is the grind time, working hard in the final weeks to get your friends to submit and making sure you fix any bugs that I report to you and making sure you’re adhering to the guidelines. Some pretty amazing stuff already in there and I can’t wait for everyone to play them 🙂
Deadline for multiplex entries is July 15th! Get them in before that!
Full Adventure Multiplex 2 Rules and Guidelines Here!
The Adventure Multiplex was the first of its kind ever released. Over 80 people contributed an adventure encounter resulting in a monster Minecraft map that could take over 15 hours to complete 100%. At the time of its completion, it was the longest adventure map ever made… in the world.
It’s time for us to make a sequel.
Deadline is July 15th!

Full Rules and Guidelines
X = 20, Y (height) = 30, z = 20
Consistent Map Rules: (Encounters must all have these rules and cannot have special rules for their encounter)
- Adventure Mode
- Fire Spread = off
- Mob Spawning = off (no random mobs, all mobs controlled by spawners)
- Keep Inventory ON
- Mob Griefing = off
- Breakable Blocks: Mossy Cobblestone with a pick, Clay Blocks with a shovel, webs + melons with a sword. These blocks may ONLY be broken in the encounters and you must give them the tools to do so. Players are permitted to place any blocks they have in their inventory. So if a player obtains blocks in your encounter, keep that in mind.
- Crafting is always permitted.
- Difficulty – Easy-Hard (not peaceful)
- You may build your encounter with 1.6 but please specify that when you submit it.
Examples:
Basic Details:
The Area:
- Everything you build MUST be no larger than X20 by Y30 (height) by Z20 (with one exception detailed under sky encounters) The entrance /exit boxesthat I add, or that are in the templates, may be outside this area, your redstone constructions must remain in the size limit.
- You must have a DEFINED entrance to your encounter and ending. If you can use Mcedit you may customize the location of the start and ending boxes. If you are not using mcedit, you MUST use one of the 20 templates provided.
- Once a player starts your encounter by standing on the pressure plate, they should NOT be able to leave your encounter under any circumstances until they have completed it. The encounter must be sealed.
- You are not allowed to give players any items or effects until they have entered your encounter.
- You may not allow the player to go to the nether or the “end”
- You may not use block “100:15”
- Mob Spawners are restricted to be below the ground level.
- Every encounter must HAVE a ground level.
- No ender pearls given unless your encounter is completely enclosed with no holes to the outside.
- Somewhere on the ground level there must be a sign that says “AMVending” that the player can be teleported to and walk away from your encounter once it has ended.
- The encounter must always be solvable. If you die, you should be able to still complete it.
- TNT will give players blocks, they are able to use them… keep that in mind.
- You may set time and weather within your encounter. Weather will be cleared on exit.
- Hostile mobs cannot just be placed in the encounter by themselves. They must be generated by spawners or dispensers. If the player changes it to peaceful, they would be removed causing problems with any encounters that existed with hostile mobs just walking around (even with persistence on them)
Sky Encounters
- You may split your working area into 2 pieces as shown in example E.
- The bottom section must be 10 high, with the remaining 20 to be used in the sky section.
- All other rules apply to both sections, you start by being teleported up into the sky portion and you may not leave the area in the sky. (Doesn’t matter if they will die on impact)
Advanced User Details (if you don’t know what these things mean, simply don’t use them):
Redstone Restrictions:
- You may use up to 2 hopper clocks and they may be active for the duration of your encounter but they MUST be stopped once the encounter has ended.
- Do not intentionally lag machines with excessive piston and redstone constructions. Remember your encounter will be surrounded by many more and played on lower powered machines so try to keep it simple… but try not to let it limit your creativity!
- All redstone above the ground level must be kept hidden from player view. Below ground, redstone can be visible from the sides (it will be underground), but not anywhere a player can see it.
Mob Spawner Restrictions:
- No more than 20 spawners (includes minecart spawners) in total.
- If you use Sethblings create statues filter; the size limit of a structure that can be created or removed is 5x5x2. Create OR delete. Not both.
- You may only build or destroy 1 structure.
- You may use positional data on spawners to spawn mobs /stuff above the ground level as long as they remain in the confines of your encounter.
- If you are using spawners, you cannot send me a schematic and must send the whole world file.
Command Block Restrictions:
- Do not use coordinates in command blocks.
- When doing @a, @p or @r you must have [score_AMVcode_min=1] in the command block script. EG: /give @p[score_AMVcode_min=1] 161 5
- You MUST use Sethbling command block sign filter structure for commands that require coordinates. When submitting your entry, the signs must remain so I can run the filter after you have submitted your entry to me.
- Built in feature: If you give a player scoreboard “milk” value of 1, it will clear any status effects on that player. It will also change weather to clear.
- You may use scoreboards, however you must have a button on your world save outside your encounter so I can initialize the scoreboards after I have imported your encounter.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here is the trailer for the original Adventure Multiplex which you can download here.
At the time of writing this, it’s had over 75,000 downloads and millions of youtube views across tonnes of videos. To be a part of the sequel, all you need to do is follow some basic guidelines and as long as nothing is horribly broken, your encounter will be included in the Adventure Multiplex 2!
Accepting entries right now! Any questions?
Special thanks to Texelelf for providing me with a filter to allow the spawners to be recalculated!
Disclaimer (the fint print to protect myself for using your submissions):
By submitting an entry to this competition you are allowing Jigarbov to use your entry in any way he sees fit. The primary function is to create a large scale collaborative map and every creator will be credited, however Jigarbov may use it in further projects if he wishes to do so and without credit if he forgets (though he hasn’t yet). You also agree to the terms of the competition which is that Jigarbov will choose 3 of his favorites as winners. There is no grading criteria and is strictly based on his feelings about the encounter.
Full Adventure Multiplex 2 Guidelines Tomorrow!
As I work on guidelines, I am also working on examples to make sure everything is clear. Everything is looking to be going on schedule despite my recent obsession with Animal Crossing. The full guidelines should be super easy to understand, but with the theme I’m working on this time I think Adventure Multiplex 2 will be bigger, better and more cohesive than last time. I also hope to get a tonne of entries. I’ve seen a few people recently think I’m going to get thousands of entries… that wont happen. I really only have limited pull, my youtube channel only has a few hundred active watchers despite the growing base (over 7000!).
That said, even if I only get 5 entries, the map will still be created. I might rename it though xD. I’m really not holding onto the guidelines just for fun, I haven’t finalized them myself yet!
Something to think about though: When you enter your encounter, (by way of a pressure plate) you should be not be able to escape until the encounter is completed (by redstone signal) You wont have to worry about the entrance and exit mechanics, that’s what I’m for. However there is a space required to fit the redstone so keep that in mind. Trying to get it small right now.
Will have 5, fully playable examples, tomorrow as well as the full restrictions and guidelines! Enjoy this… it will probably give you a few hints of what the guidelines will be.
