Temple of Light is a 2 player Minecraft Puzzle map I worked on over the summer, and am just now getting around to polishing and finishing.  Deep underground there lays a forgotten temple, said to hold the most expansive treasure. Many have tried to ferret out the wealth of the temple and steal it for themselves, but none have succeeded. You and your companion aim to infiltrate the temple itself and overcome the mysterious fortress.  But the journey will not be easy. The treasure is sealed off by an ancient lock, and to unlock it, you must first gather the 4 items of power, each guarded by an elemental shrine.  

The shrine of Earth and Clay:
-An alcove carved into the earth and stone, solve simple puzzles to discover the 4 pieces of light and unlock the item!
The shrine of Moss and Mist:
-An enormous cave filled with damp moss and falling water, use your new item to control the tides and brave the watery deeps!
The shrine of Wind and Air:
-An imposing stone fortress suspended in the center of the void, watch your step or you might fall to your doom!
The shrine of Smoke and Ash:
-A sinister castle sitting in a lake of magma, use your cunning and cleverness to solve this fortress of fire!

Each shrine guards an individual item, and can only be unlocked by using a key of Light.  Unfortunately, the keys have been broken up into 4 pieces of light, and scattered throughout each shrine.  You will need to solve the puzzles in each shrine to find the 4 pieces of light, combine them to form the key, and unlock the item each shrine guards.  

Can you solve the secrets of the temple? Or will you and your companion be doomed to wander the corridors forever...


The entire temple is finished, I just need to touch up some places and make sure all the puzzles are set, and everything is good to go Also note that the puzzles in this game should not kill you >.< It's more using cleverness and sometimes dexterity to solve the shrines and temple!  Also note that the puzzles are non-linear.  Puzzles might open up new areas, activate things, each shrine has many different puzzles that do not necessarily have to be solved in any order!

Wow! This looks epic! I will try it soon, hopefully.

Oh and the pieces of light are glowstone dust When you get 4, you are able to craft a glowstone block, which is the 'Key of Light'.  You can then place the glowstone into the keyhole, which triggers the doors to open and you can get your item Lots and lots of redstone went into the making of this puzzle map, mayhaps I should do a redstone tour and post it on youtube ^^

Epic7 has minecraft = 0
Epic7 wants  to play this = 1

*Bump* I have tied up the ends of the map, put on the finishing touches, and tested the map several times over for any issues or oversights, and it is finally ready for testing of other people ^^ If anybody wants to help test the map, just say so

I would love to help test. And I love that texture pack you used in the screenies. Which is it?

It's a version of the Painterly Pack I found included in another custom map I downloaded, but it is unfortunately not compatible with the game anymore since I added 1.0.0 blocks, which the texture pack lacks

And would you be able to host a server for testing?  It is a multiplayer map after all, and my laptop hates minecraft too much to be able to host a game >.< I would have use of a more powerful computer later in the night if that works as well.

Yes, I just so happen to have a server. I'll PM you the IP, but'll need your ingame name, since I have a whitelist.

I hate that I do not have minecraft.

Alright so annoyingcalc and FinaleTI are going to test Do either of you have a chat program you use?  It would probably be best in order to improve cooperation during the solving of puzzles.
