After rewatching videos and reliving the nostalgic days from when I first got into Minecraft and CTM maps, I decided to try and make a map in the old school Vechs style, around version 1.2.5. Nearly every area has hidden shortcuts creating a web of interconnected areas, with every area containing my hidden secrets to find.
Just finished this map and had an absolute blast! INtersection 3 was a little too easy due to some overpowered items but it felt super nostalgic and the lack of modern minecraft's BS really helped the map. 1.2.5 is the optimal version for CTM maps.
