Dreadnought
by Chopper2112, CoolKidPoof, waterprincess244
In Dreadnought, two teams face off in a naval battle, employing strategy and a bit of luck to sink each other’s ships. Each team can place five vessels, and then they take turns firing at one another in a very gentlemanly manner. Every hit provides you with more information about the enemy’s placements, and once you think you have enough intel, strike! Sink all five ships, and victory is yours!
Programmed Adventure
by NICO_THE_PRO
The Programmed Adventure Minecraft serves as a spiritual successor to our collaboration with Code.org. Puzzles like this require multi-step thinking, meaning you must always stay a few steps ahead. Once you feel confident, toss aside the instruction set and embark on your journey. If you’ve done everything correctly, the level will be completed. If not, don’t give up—patience is key! Just debug your moves and try as many times as needed.
Phantom Run
by iWacky
If ghosts aren’t your favorite creatures, imagine this scenario: you’re sleepy, wanting to disconnect from worries and enjoy a good rest after a long day of mining. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bizarre flying horror swoops down on you, much like those salespeople from Oriflame at month-end.
If you love ghosts and want an abundance of them while making your demise seem inevitable, Phantom Run is perfect for you! This mini-game can be played solo or with friends, where your goal is simply to outrun a massive killer beast chasing you, mocking your numerous failures. Enjoy Minecraft Bedrock, leaping over seemingly impossible obstacles, proving to yourself that anything is achievable if you put your mind to it! You’ll also need to jump on slime blocks, or else you’ll become Phantom chow. If anyone needs me, I’ll be hiding under my desk because I won’t be able to sleep otherwise.
Pirate Hide and Seek
by iWacky, ALEX_CY, It5meSam
Hide and seek is a childhood favorite, but it would be far more exciting with pirates involved! Yes, there will be pirates, along with other intriguing features. In this map, you’ll either be seeking or hiding. The mechanics vary based on your choice. See that cursed altar? You can use it to inflict negative effects on seekers, such as slowness, nausea, and blindness. I’m glad we don’t have such an altar on the playground! You’ll have access to various bonuses and opportunities to explore how they work and what they do. So, hoist the sails and get started, matey!
Spot The Difference
by NICO_THE_PRO & ALEX_CY
Spot The Difference is a challenging game featuring asymmetrical gameplay. During a round, one player hides their block within a small room, while the other must find it. Bonuses can provide various advantages, such as removing all blocks of a certain type or granting extra chances. Once the block is placed, keep an eye on your crafty opponent in Minecraft and try to locate it quickly!
Corte Madera
by Team Vaeron
Our team is always excited to play through new Inspiration maps. These are categories of Realms maps designed to inspire creators through numerous small builds or even a single large project, like Corte Madera. To gain further insight into this build, we asked team member Florian Funke to share his thoughts.
“Corte Madera tells the story of a political revolution during a dystopian era. Overpopulation has led to harsh living conditions for nearly all humanity. Only a select few, the upper class, dominate the social hierarchy reflected in the city’s division into three sectors. We aim to open people’s eyes and make them reflect on their actions that directly impact everyone and our future. Players should experience this world firsthand and see everything for themselves. In Corte Madera, they are in control. They can walk the streets and observe every detail. We believe this project can prompt us to consider our most pressing global issues and inspire us to address them. By tackling these challenges together, we can achieve a better life for the entire world,” said Florian Funke.
