HAVE YOU PLAYED: THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY MAP?

It’s very good! More importantly, it’s very free!

June is here and the dust has finally settled after a month of celebrating the 10th anniversary of Minecraft. We've almost vacuumed all the Creeper cake out of the carpet, and started having meetings about what we'll do for our 20th anniversary. Retire? That'd be nice.

In all the excitement, you might have missed the free 10th Anniversary Map made by Blockworks we gave away. It's a celebration of all things Minecraft, and it's available free on the Minecraft Marketplace (Java players get it free too! You'll find a download link in this article).

Last time we talked about this map, we kept schtum about its contents, keen for you to discover its secrets for yourself. I'd say you were pretty successful. But now that it's been out in the wild for a few weeks, let's take a brief look at Blockworks' celebration of a decade of crafty mining.

It starts here, with a special golden 10-year anniversary minecart! This is far better than the minecart I tried making IRL to celebrate our anniversary, which had wheels made of dirt and the rest of it made of my tears. We shall never speak of it again.

Hop into the golden minecart and you'll be zipped along a powered rail down memory lane. You'll get a brief tour of each of our updates over the years! It's a fast-paced treat through the past of Minecraft... or it would have been, had I not accidentally gotten out of the minecart on this bit, killing the pacing. Drat!

Once the ride is over and you've done a bit of puzzle-solving, you'll enter this Minecraft museum. Every block has a chest in front of it, with a book telling you everything you need to know about it. Wait, does this museum make Minecraft.net completely obsolete? Cool!

Hang on, this museum doesn't even have a gift shop, but it’s still somehow the best museum of all time??? Historians are just going to have to admit it because this multi-floored Minecraft extravaganza has taught me so much I didn't know about the game. Did you know it has gold blocks in it? Wow!

But what lives under the museum? The people who make the signs saying NO TOUCHING THE EXHIBITS COME ON WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Or a visually spectacular minecart ride to sights that'll have you hammering the screenshot button until it breaks? I'm happy to say that, in the case of this map, it's the latter. Sorry about your screenshot button though. : (

Hey, at least you can touch the exhibits!

Can you find everything in the 10th Anniversary map? Try it today and see!
