Minecraft - Doom Castle / End of a Server

It's the end of the world.. and another of my Metroid-style escape traps. This one was set up on an SMP server. Our group found the old server insufficient and upgraded to a new one, leaving the obvious fate of the old one - blow it the hell up.

Doom Castle is a dungeon inspired off of Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. Like the game, the sectors of the tower are inspired by elemental themes with a small connecting area that isn't necessarily themed.

Earth Floor: Mostly jumping puzzles above a sand floor. Threat of death by falling is the dominant threat here. There is a small degree of maze element to it.

Water Floor I: This was supposed to be an ice maze with a few 'follow the water flow' puzzles, and one 'fight the flow to avoid falling off a narrow ledge' puzzle. Unfortunately, lighting issues meant it could only be lit by redstone, and it depended on an unstable sponge mod called Redstone sponges to keep it from flooding while i was carving out. This will be finished eventually.

Lobby: Not much to say. The arrow trap was designed around Goldeneye 64's Egyptian temple puzzle, but the debug path of 'just take the shortest route' is still in play.

Glass Maze: Not much to say here

Water Maze 2: This is typically the first trap which kills visitors. There are only a few air pockets (I miss one and take some damage in the video). Without the air pockets, the maze is too long to be solved.

Fire Floor: The other deadly part of the tower, the fire floor involves making precise jumps over a bed of lava. Passing here enables a quick return elevator.

Air Floor: Mostly meant to catch people by fear of heights. Up until now, you have not been allowed to see exactly how high you've gone. It is somewhat of a shock to look down and see all that terrain that was so close. A few hairy jumping puzzles set the mood here. The second part (the maze) has a burning floor which shortly after entry will destroy the floor of th maze, leaving the person inside to fall to lava. This doesn't kill as many people as you would think.

Final Boss Arena: A spleef court. If only there was some way to put Dark King in here...

The actual escape will be in the next video. If you thought the explosion in this one was interesting, wait until you see the finale.
