Winter Abyss is an immaculately detailed world template – the builds that you can play Survival mode on! The starting village is surrounded by a snowy mountain, and the woody pathways that circle the peaks leads to a hotel with a juice bar and souvenir shop. This is where I’ll make my mark. If I can build anything here that doesn’t look completely out of place, I can move up in the ranks from a small-time builder to a ‘block caller’ (the people who decide when, and where to build)! 

INSPIRATION: THE GREAT HOLE OF ABYSS CITY 

by Voertigen 

Inspiration maps are builds that are designed to awe you – The Great Hole of Abyss City is no slouch in this category. A lush, cozy village holds a secret in the middle, with the titular hole leading to the mysterious underbelly of the world, showing a secretive universe few dare venture into. An underground where deals are made, blocks are exchanged and only the most respected builders can congregate! 

INSPIRATON: CELESTIAL COLLAPSE 

by Placing blocks 

Celestial Collapse with its highly detailed spaceships placed against the solar star lightning is the type of build that can get you ‘made’. Now, being a made builder is the highest honor they can give you. It’s a license to do anything. Any block you want you could have in a split second. Never again will you have to worry about food and maintaining your hunger bar. Hostile mobs look the other way when you walk by and don’t bother you anymore. This is the life, only for the most elite builders, and I await my call for when I can join the family!

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Upon sending in the article, we found out that up until this point Oskar had never heard of Creative mode before. There's no need for you to join a shadowy underground mapmaker cabal in order to utilize the aforementioned perks)
