The Top 10 Minecraft Maps of 2022

Foreign my name is Bleaker and today we’re going to be taking a look at my top 10 Minecraft maps of 2022 I’ve played 34 Minecraft maps this year and I thought hey wouldn’t it be fun to have all of these Maps compete in a battle royale style fight against each other

Unfortunately my lawyer says that’s unethical immoral and a legal so we’re gonna have to settle for a top 10 list instead before we begin for the Minecraft map to qualify for the list I had to have played it at some point during 2022 the map didn’t necessarily need to be released in 2022

I will be raiding Maps based on the quality of their builds story mechanics and most importantly how much I enjoyed playing them disclaimer I am not a professional critic nor am I really pretending to be one I just thought it would be fun to do a top 10 list

Please don’t sharpen the pitchforks and light the torches on me for having an opinion onto the list number 10 computery stuff remastered by the Blue Man zero zero three brush up on your logic and memory Gates and prepare to and not or zor and multiplexer your way through this puzzle map

Using these Gates we are to help solar Tech Corp test their new security system utilizing Bluestone a redstone-like material with an unlimited transmission range our goal at every level is to light up the little light at the end of the circuit the map utilizes a fantastic difficulty

Curve that slowly adds in more and more of the logic and memory Gates computery stuff is a great map to introduce anyone to the basics of programming in a fun low stress environment was I low stress when I played this absolutely not moving on the command block work on this

Map is excellent and is a great demonstration of how to take a simple concept gate logic and flush it out into a full and satisfying gameplay number nine Jack’s death course by Kuan Mysteries puzzles epic fights lame jokes welcome to Jack’s death course we’re the only way out is playing along

Not every Minecraft map has to push the envelope and come up with Trend setting mechanics or complicated features or even ambitious builds sometimes falling back on Old School mechanics and sharp dialogue are the way to go about telling a great story this is the case with Jack’s death

Course for me this is the little map that could this map Harkens back to a much simpler time in map making and knocks it out of the park the Redstone mechanics builds they’re all basic but the dialogue is hilarious intelligent and witty the moment-to-moment gameplay and puzzles are fantastic the focus on fun

Really elevates this map above its more complicated and ambitious pews I’ll take a simple but fun map over a complicated ambitious and Grand but ultimately mundane map any day the antagonist of the map Jack is Well written in witty it’s pretty likable it really reminds me of Handsome Jack from the Borderlands series

Hmm Jack Handsome Jack we’ll have to ponder on this more while he’s taunting you through the map trying to kill you you really don’t know whether to hate the jack-o-lantern or fall off your chair laughing I found out after I did my play through this map that this is the Creator’s very first

Map and I am truly excited to see what they come up with for their next map outing Before we continue on these kinds of videos take a long time and a lot of effort to put together so if you enjoy the video please leave a like And subscribe it’s a small act but it really helps feed the mighty YouTube algorithm which helps the channel out a lot

Back to the action number eight the horror experiment by my man MC5 you are an agent you work for the Bureau of unexplained phenomena you’ve been living in the quiet little town called little stapleder your mission here has been to find out what happened to eight residents that

Disappeared from here and all the information you have gathered so far points to the gray orphanage Beyond the Forest Your Story begins here given my history with Mick is it any surprise that his map ended up on this list Mick is a master at storytelling and an

Artist at map creation from the very second you load into the map you can tell it’s been made with love care and several hundred hours of work there’s fully customized textures cutscenes at one point there’s a cut scene of you driving a car I have never seen anything like that in a Minecraft

Map before and it’s a 30 second cutscene that took dozens upon dozens of hours to work out but it really attests to mix commitment to Quality there’s specially written music animated items some of the most advanced command blocks and Redstone work I have ever seen and a perfectly crafted creepy atmosphere

The horror experiment is a Resident Evil inspired map and from the second you get into the meat and potatoes of this map it’s unnerving all the mobs have been re-skinned to be terrifying but what I respect most about this map is that it manages to be scary without

Resorting to cheap jump scares a jump scare is a release of tension but this map holds onto and cultivates that tension all the way until the final cut scene plus a Shameless plug I I did the trailer for this map and it turned out pretty great appreciate you Mick

Number seven verticalid by finger map in the realm of the Void you’ve been sent from the lightbox tests to try a new test chamber can you escape the chamber and overcome your limits in this Puzzler there are more tests there always are the tests on living matter are the worst

However as they slowly disable and torment you and your ability to perform simple tasks do you give up or work around them this is another puzzle map I really just adore clearly since it’s on my top 10 list how can you play Minecraft when one of its core abilities is taken away

The premise of this map is how you would function if you lost your ability to jump I get that the game is called Minecraft and not jump craft but I submit that jumping is a core mechanic moving on I think that it is a beautiful question

And the answer is block puzzles lots and lots of block puzzles the map maker really takes block puzzles to the extreme you use block puzzles to navigate you use block puzzles to power other Contraptions you use blocks to block lasers the Creator really took a look at

The Block Puzzle and the problem of not being able to jump and thought how many mechanics can I milk out of this and there is a lovely ramping of difficulty as more and more gimmicks are added in since the ramping of difficulty was so masterfully paced I was never

Once overwhelmed even during the final puzzles the map texture pack is also super clean and overall has a very nice look to it number six evernight chapter 1 by Enzo a portal found in a deep Cavern leading you to a mysterious Dimension once ruled by seven gems but now the gems are

Scattered around the Realms by an unknown force and reason causing the realm to be stuck in Eternal Night to go back to where you belong you must retrieve the gems and save this world by conquering many kinds of challenges and bosses and the Mystery of this realm slowly unfolds as you progress

This map is beautiful it has a plethora of RPG elements eight drastically different bosses each with their own mechanics a plethora of RPG elements a level progression system RPG elements loot chess with loot tables RPG elements wonderfully and uniquely designed areas and did I mention a

Plethora of RPG elements I sure hope I mentioned that evernight takes the dial of adventure maps and cranks it to 11. this map could be flushed out into its own Standalone RPG it’s amazing the builds the bosses the systems in place are all unique well executed and fun

At one point in this map you wander through a Petrified Forest made mostly of cobblestone and regular Stone and it was beautiful the map maker really knows how to craft a Wonderful World the boss fights while extremely difficult provide a wide variety of mechanics and locations to fight through

The upgrades and crafting system is super intricate as you have multiple weapon upgrade paths and armor paths that you can go down to best fit your playstyle I went with the scythe and the AOE damage armor because of course I did it was a very nice map especially if you like fighting bosses

Number five unsung hero by thorvold the story sees you a Mason from a Faraway land as the last chance to save the villagers from the undead that are spreading across the world as one of the last remaining villages in the areas attacked you realize you are the only

Ones still able to fight the undead you embark on a dangerous Quest through caves mines and dungeons in a desperate attempt to stop the undead as it turns out this was this Creator’s first crack in an adventure map and it is near perfect I do not say that lightly the builds are

Amazing the mob’s AI has been reprogrammed so that different mobs will attack you in different ways such as dodging your attacks or using melee weapons at close range but switching to ranged weapons if you’re further away there is a system in place for chaining different weapon attacks to maximize

Damage if you stun with one weapon you can pull out another that causes bleed to stun to enemies there’s a system in place where if you hit an enemy with a hammer their armor disappears so you can deal more damage as you gain weapons in the game each with their own unique

Abilities you immediately face an enemy or are put in a situation to use that weapon and its ability so you can get comfortable with the new mechanics I also really like that the Creator put in a minecart ride that was synced up to In the Hall of the Mountain King they

Didn’t have to but they did because they thought it was cool and fun and I respect that the ending boss fight was also an absolute pleasure to fight and I think one of my favorite boss fights of 2022 finally the environment and the builds are incredible this map takes a lot of

Notes of good game development and applies it to map making I am personally excited to see what this Creator does in the future number four doomed Demons of the nether by sabagi time to bust out the seven string guitar synthesizer and Chainsaw cause we’re going to Mars doomed Demons of the

Nether is a beautiful Recreation of Doom 2016 in Minecraft when you play through this map it has the same high octane adrenaline fueled Rush as Doom 2016. it is a beautiful map filled with puzzles amazing structure work and demons lots and lots of demons the gameplay is super

Fast paced and extremely fluid all the weapons feel like they pack a punch and the sound design is absolutely top-notch there’s boss fights and cut scenes everything that you would want out of a Minecraft map the most impressive part of this map is that there is no Modpack

It’s just the resource pack and lots and lots of redstone and command blocks the map is an absolute pleasure to play if you think Minecraft needs a kick in the teeth or you’re getting bored you’re going to want to play this number three Worlds Collide by Tanner l

Worlds Collide is a Minecraft adventure map with absolutely no command blocks no dedicated resource pack and no teleportation tricks and yet its commitment to intricate build design and visual storytelling is some of the best I have seen ever this map is huge coming in at a 750 block diameter and yet it is

Packed with Adventure quests storytelling you will never not find something to visually Marvel at or go do the map does a beautiful job at telling the story of the map not through massive lore dumps but through the environment I don’t want to spoil the story because

I want all of you to go and play this map and figure out the story for yourselves one of the limitations of this map no command blocks actually turns out to be one of its coolest features since you can’t do any command Shenanigans all of the dungeons are gated by Vanilla mechanics

At one point you need to get into this underwater cave system but you can’t survive the swim to that cave until you get a water breathing helmet from the previous dungeon and another dungeon you need an elytra from the dungeon before all of the dungeons provide something

You will need to get into the next and I think that’s just wonderful you don’t see design like this often anymore and again I’d like to reiterate that this map is gorgeous it is truly a visual spectacle to behold number two diamond sword RPG full remaster by MC5

Mick is really cleaning house on this top 10 list diamond sword RPG full remaster is exactly that Mick has taken what he’s learned from Diamond Sword RPG and Diamond Sword RPG 1.5 and added a plethora of new features and content the list is massive 3D modeled and animated weapons and

Items custom sound effects and music updated with full stereo sound modified custom data packs now run smoother new texture packs loaded with the map new boss models and characters new retextured Mobs with models new cutscenes new scripted events new story quests and items new gameplay features

The map is a spectacle to behold it is beautifully built on top of the success and lessons of the previous two entries in the series to culminate in the classic adventure you see here Mick has spent somewhere between 800 and 900 hours remaking this and it shows diamond

Sword full remaster Harkens back to the classic heroes journey and Adventure heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda and you can tell mechanics that you are introduced to in earlier dungeons are carried forward and utilized all throughout the map there’s not a lot of one-off mechanics everything gets used

Multiple times to advance through the many Dungeons and areas and again Mick is a master at crafting an environment and feeling from the time you start to the time you finish you feel as though you are on an Epic Quest as I said back in the horror experiment

Mick is a master At Redstone and command blocks and all of it is brought to bear in this adventure map this map is the map I use to review every other map against Mick and this map are my gold standard for Minecraft maps and what they should aspire to

Before we go on here are a few honorable mentions year of Blood by lgsc team A bloodborne and Dark Souls inspired map recipe for Disaster by Bloody duckers a spec ops multiversal Adventure number one the dream recorder by Teddy player one whilst trying out his new invention the dream recorder Teddy accidentally

Trapped himself and split his mind into pieces across his dreams fortunately he’s left you messages in the form of dream recordings watch these recordings to get Clues work your way through his surreal and Rocky dreams and put his mind back together and escape from the world of Dreams

Here we are at number one with the dream recorder this adventure map has the most advanced command blocks and mechanics I have ever seen in an adventure map most of the mechanics in this map I didn’t even know were possible the story premise of all of this

Happening in a dream reality allows for a lot of zaniness and shenanigans and plays perfectly into the seemingly random things and events that occur a really cool mechanic that this map employs is when you are viewing these dream recordings the map takes you out to YouTube to do the viewing the

Adventure and puzzles are not only contained in Minecraft but spill out onto YouTube as well there’s a really cool section where you need to find a color code to solve a puzzle but the code is over in the YouTube video watch the Youtube video solve the puzzle

The highlight of this map for me was a time trial flying through rings in this map and crashing through a clock tower it was just so random but so perfectly executed the map is short admittedly clocking in at just over an hour to complete but that time is jam-packed

With puzzles Adventure beautiful set pieces the best Redstone mechanics I have ever seen really pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Minecraft well that’s my list if there are any maps that you think should have made it onto this list or if the order of the

Map should have been different or if there’s any Maps you’d like to see me play in the future please let me know in the comments below a huge shout out to my very handsome bestie Andrew for mixing my audio and making me not sound like crap

Thank you all very much for watching and I’ll see you all next time Foreign
