Floating Islands Puzzle Park

Made by OLEGSHA, LevAlTru, IRclinG, vik

The puzzles put the player inside a bedrock box in survival gamemode and challenge them to get out with the use of various Minecraft mechanics, careful resource management and clever thinking. In between attempts you can explore the scenery to find bits of parkour, beautiful vistas and plenty of secrets.

Full puzzle rules are available at world spawn. In short, inside the puzzle rooms you may do anything as long as you could replicate that in survival vanilla singleplayer - break blocks, place blocks, craft items, etc. However, messing with the scenery and command blocks is not allowed.

Features

Reset mechanism: puzzle rooms reset automatically or on demand.
Multiplayer support: invite friends to help you with puzzles or to laugh at your mistakes! However, only one person can be solving a puzzle at the same time. Map tested in 1.19 singleplayer and on a 1.19 Paper server.
