Minecraft launches Community Java Realms Map for 15th Anniversary

Oskar Thysell, Java Realms expert, says that the map began when he invited all the involved map makers onto a Java Realms world and told them to build whatever they wanted to. “Little did I know that every map-related dream I’ve ever had would come true! Cancel my 2’ clock, all my o’ clocks – I might need 10 years just to play through the whole map!”

Check out some of the features of this map:

Nether Ninjas Resort

“There are roughly about a kazillion (to be precise) structures and a limitless amount of wow in this map”

Created by Robeens, 5hax, and Neylz, the Nether Ninjas Resort features some R&R. It even has a working beach volleyball section that you can play with your friends!

Plagiatus’ Lighthouse

Plagiatus’ Lighthouse is made by “a certified pillar of the mapmaking community,” pun intended. Players who climb to the very top will be rewarded by an Elytra course that will take them on a fast-paced glide through the many builds on the map.

Novo Àrd

Meet the Island city of Novo Àrd, and its architectural feats and massive scale!

“Welcome to Novo Àrd, a city that embodies the grace of Victorian inspired architecture and the intrigue of hidden mysteries. Its verticality, with towering structures reaching for the heavens, offers a unique perspective that few cities can match. Beyond its elegant facades lie untold secrets waiting to be uncovered. Novo Àrd invites you to explore its depths and heights, promising an unforgettable experience for the curious soul.”

The Party Forest

“The royals have opened the doors to their chateau for the celebration, and you’re invited!”

Cross the river on a zipline, explore the rooms, and grab some dessert at Cake.Co. Players can also discover their green thumb and The Party Garden, “the one stop shop for all your garden needs!”

The Mundi Bunker

“Rumor has it that, inside of this bunker, scientists would test out new features added to Minecraft.”

Mapmaker TheWorfer27 hid a powerful machine inside that allegedly gives you the power to manipulate item displays in all kinds of ways.
