10 Famous Minecraft Maps LOST to Time

[@PaladinRyan]

EDIT: I'm seeing a lot of comments about the "LOST to Time" title, and thinking I meant lost media, or maps that can't be found/downloaded anymore. First off, I didn't mean to mislead you! What I meant specifically by "lost to time" is old maps that have completely *fallen out of the spotlight over the years.* Whether it's being too old of a version, not being played anymore, or lost to the sea of new and improved maps for the newest versions -- that is what I mean! I probably could've worded that better, but I hope that clears it up. This video is meant to spread feelings of nostalgia by revisiting old maps, not look for ones that are lost media (although that would be an excellent video!). _orig. pin:_ hey everyone, thanks for hangin'! I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed putting it together. hope your day is excellent, and let me know your favorite map or old map memories below me!

A map that gives me tons of nostalgia is the Hunger Games map. I just remember TONS of Hunger Games videos in like 2012-2014 on one specific map. I'm so glad that Minecraft is a game that promotes community and people having fun together.

[@MrMikeGaming]

Ah love this map! I never actually played it but it was fun to watch.. so true!

[@PaladinRyan]

OG hunger games definitely deserves to be on this list. I LOVED playing it back in the day. very fond memories of being awful at the game but having a blast

[@TechOrionater]

That's exactly the one I used to play. I think I still have a download of it somewhere. There were two I believe. I have the second one somewhere for sure but I have no idea what ever happened to the first one. When I got it I didn't know I had it at first. It came in a sketchy looking mod pack that I can not for the life of me remember the name of. It came with both versions. I found it in this mod pack under a worlds file. I was curious if any of them would work in Minecraft and turns out it did. There were like 3 more worlds in that file but those didn't amount to the survival games worlds.

[@carpetsmell2523]

I remember exploring my world for the temple of notch. I just walked for ages leaving a trail of torches. I also believed a lie a friend told. He said there was ONE triangle on top of a tree on a lonely island. For some reason i thought that all minecraft worlds were connected, and if i walked for long enough i would find other peoples bases.

Since I was playing Minecraft in Russian community, my favorite kind of maps were and still are those silly little plot-based maps made by other kids at that time. There's just something charming about the way the builds and story are presented. Especially the story, since they had to place dozens of signs. I still remember a very small map where you play as a thief in a village. While all the villagers were celebrating the New Year somewhere away, you could easily break in houses different ways, steal stuff and find out people's little secrets. That was such an awesome addition to my 2012-2013 winter holidays!

One map I remember playing a lot was a CTM called "Diversity". Something interesting was that each wool block needed to complete the monument was a reward for completing a minigame (There was a labyrinth, a parkour, a dropper, etc.) Tho, I don't know if it was a very popular map...? I was also a Pocket Edition player so the lobby of a server called "Lifeboat" is burned into my brain. Does someone else remember that server?

[@PaladinRyan]

I remember hearing of Lifeboat back in the day, but never played much pocket edition myself. never heard of Diversity! just looked it up, it looks super cool and looks like a huge part of the CTM genre. I guess they've made a few sequels too? I always played Hunger Games when I was younger. ty for the comment!

My original Java maps were lost when we did some PC cleaning and when I moved from the family desktop to my own laptop. Three of my favourites were: My original Green Hill map which had a lot of forested hills and cliffs though I don’t remember a lot about it. (I named my first few maps after Classic Sonic levels as Minecraft always looked like Green Hill Zone as made in a stripped down version of the classic Tomb Raider engine to me) Lava Reef where my base was built in a mountain that suspiciously had formed to look exactly like an extinct volcano, main shaft to the cave system, plugs, side vents and all. I had a lava lamp & lapis lazuli wallpaper in the master bedroom inside a side vent just below the plugged up crater/peak, a smoking chimney on the crater plug penthouse to find my way back from afar, an outhouse at the outer rim of the crater plug which spilled into a slurry collection trough by the master bedroom entrance (the idea was it would collect waste to turn into fertiliser for the farm below), a volcanic soil farm and nether portal on the lower slopes by the river, an escape tunnel, panic room, a “blaze bath” which was a glow stone bathtub full of lava for “hot tub” bathing (with fire potions), fiery traps like pits and flaming arrows (unfinished) and the main shaft was sealed with warning signs about the lava tube & magma chamber mines below. Both those maps started on the beta versions that had working beds, but I kept them well into version 1.0. Insanity Caves, which was my first 1.0 map and would have been the basis for a Minecraft book I had in mind, set around a survivor of an apocalypse surviving his way across an archipelago and killing a terrifying decay monster made of raw entropy called the Antitime. Little did I realise said monster was basically Pennywise, mainly just the dead lights part and nothing else which was scary as I wouldn’t read It for 2 years at this point. Outside my main house across from the hill it was on was a mountain “island” I built a bridge to whose base looked like a tornado made of rock. I had a farm of all plants in the game at the time including trees, melon, pumpkin and nether wart, a library for enchanting, a nether portal with easy access to a nether fort, the titular underground caves below my house I still have embellished paper maps of, a vast desert and mountain range in opposite ends of away from my house, the former of which hid my first stronghold. I had secondary bases in both those locations (the desert for easy respawning and backtracking if I died in the End) and I was in the middle of making a railway to connect them all when I lost all my old original maps. Insanity Caves was the first Minecraft map I ever killed the Enderdragon and beat the game on, which alongside all the others I played back in the day makes it hold a special place in my heart.

[@cookiechi2555]

Tutorial and Temple will always be my favorites, One map i played as a kid was a java ported map to Xbox called Worldbuscus which was Toby's world when he first started doing his minecraft lets play and another bit of an obscure one was called DreamCraft which was a custom 360 map that played like a RolePlay game it was pretty cool at the time

[@MrMikeGaming]

That’s pretty cool! 😁😁

[@maljac2114]

i will always remember Vechs' Super Hostile series, particularly Spellbound Caves. I spent so long watching ChimneySwift's series and later spending hours beating it and Kaizo Caverns in hardcore multiple times. Truly amazing maps

[@thewhitefalcon8539]

Kaizo Caverns was the first cavern one right? I really remember that one because of how big it felt when it came out, and how small it felt compared to later maps. You could reach halfway across the starting cave unlike the later cave maps with their several chunks wide caves. Even the big caves are smaller than the really big caves in the later maps.

[@mcworks6582]

The mob fight arena from PopularMMOs and Stampy’s wonderful world are probably the two maps that come to mind the most outside of DanTDM’s lab when it comes to nostalgic maps, those three were the ones I watched the most, the Mob fights were interesting seeing what two different creatures were forced to fight each other and Stampy’s world was just a delight to see what wacky things were made there

[@Unkle_Genny]

One map I remember being popular for a bit was Pile of Bodies by SethBling. It was a Survival map comprised of giant stacked player statues of various Minecraft developers and KZbinrs’ skins, with unique things inside each statue’s head. I remember seeing a few popular videos and Let’s Play series of it back when it released from the likes of AntVenom and CavemanFilms

[@TheGateShallStand]

If theres one map that comes to mind, out of every map I've ever played, its one that I've, ironically, entirety forgotten the name of. It was just this giant, wooden "mansion", in quotations because i forgot if we ever got to actually see the outside of the build. It was a mostly linear "adventure map", although i think thats mostly the case because of the massive amount of death pits there were, mostly unintentional if im remembering right. It was all wood, ALL of it, pretty sure there were signs with text on them. Not a piece of it that wasnt some sort of oak wood texture, and im not sure if we even had a hunger bar yet. It was really just this massive adventure, and looking through half a million videos about forgotten maps, i havent seen this one talked about. Ever. So, this one was truly forgotten it seems to me, its second death, i just wish i could find it again. And, no, it's not Herobrines Mansion, i know. It was... something ive almost entirely forgotten about, but something i will never ever forget about.

[@lionocyborg6030]

Besides the Dropper and its sequel map later (both of which the Yogscast played), my favourite has to be T3C Parkour, which was a platforming challenge based adventure map with several courses with their own themes. Some were playing in the park, others were various precious block towers with hard as hell geometry inside, one or two were deserts and tundra one of which forced you to jump along cacti, there was a dark dungeon, a Singapore themed shopping mall whose toilets you could flush yourself down into a sewer, a carnival and a building site, with humorous signs about the workmen getting spooked and trying to stop the daring traceur I.E. you. It was laid out like an adventure theme park with a central lobby area and a subway system connecting all the courses. Your score was measured by collecting diamonds Tomb Raider 2 dragon secrets style (alternately Mario Sunshine star or Crash Bandicoot gems). It’s super fun and felt like a boot camp for Classic Tomb Raider fans such as myself. Sadly, I can’t find this map anymore or at least any working links with no malware (anyone able to help me out here please? 🥺). I did keep the updated version that came later, TPC Parkour but despite having some new and fun maps while removing crap ones, it’s not as good because some of my favourite maps were removed too due to having set pieces (usually TNT based) you could only trigger once like the Carnival, the theme park & subway layout was changed to a boring Dropper style white hallway with teleporter level select triggered by buttons and running it in newer builds of Java Minecraft renders it literally unplayable as all the command blocks are broken, meaning important set pieces like springs or potion effect generators, the breakable wall used to enter the level select and most glaringly the very teleporters needed to access the levels in the first place do not work at all, effectively bricking the whole map unless you install and play using an older version of Minecraft. I might do just that as I think the launcher lets you install older MC Java versions but I want the original T3C Parkour map back too.

[@MightyDantheman]

I think two honorable mentions would be the demo worlds that exist or had existed for PC and console. Both of them would give you a time limit before the game would effectively become Adventure Mode before that was even an official gamemode. The PC version in particular was also a pre-release demo before hunger existed. They both count as maps as the console version definitely had prebuilt buildings and the PC one has a starter chest (with a secret bonus chest if you dig directly below the sign next to the first starter chest which had diamonds). Sadly, I can't seem to find the demo I'm referring to as looking on KZbin seems to show multiple different demo versions. But one of those versions does include the sign bonus chest, but it contains different items and uses a different seed.

[@slyfox7452]

One map that i have tons of nostalgia for is the yoglabs map

[@thebrilliantmistake1916]

the tutorial maps are a really big one for me, especially since it was all me and my brother played on the free trial back in the day. we spend so many hours on them, and constantly begged our dad to buy it. some of the best memories on Minecraft for me are on the many different version of it

You really understand the impact of DanTDM when even me, who didn't even speak English at the time, can recognize and recall watching videos of him

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

I think the thing I love most about the original survival island is that you can tell without even looking at the release date that this was LONG before the Beta 1.8 Adventure Update. Simply put as a survival map it is nearly impossible to survive in without dying atleast once as by design there's no consideration for hunger as a mechanic. The island is too small for mobs to spawn unless underground, there's so few dirt blocks that animals will be unlikely to spawn, and there's no potential sources of food provided at all. Sure you can get bonemeal and potential get a seed from tall grass or an apple from the trees, but that's an extremely Noah's Arc way of farming food. Basically making mere scraps into something potentially livable.

[@Gluglugfishe]

Minecraft KZbin was probably the main "teacher" back in the day teaching me English, better than school ever could :'D So I remember just basically learning while watching tons and tons of Minecraft videos and it is just a nice memory thinking back, especially thinking about all the maps then. It's wild to think about I've played Minecraft and been watching videos for such a huge part of my life honestly. But I think the main reason Minecraft maps used to be more of a big thing years ago isn't that we now think about them fondly because of nostalgia, or because we were easier to impress because of the standards we had. I think it's more because it was all so new and most importantly there weren't so many and they weren't all trying to top each other if that makes sense? The maps nowadays are IMPRESSIVE but to a point they almost feel like a big official thing. But earlier on it felt more personal and just people trying out some new stuff. And now there are SO many and so many of them are really good. There just hasn't been a big one that everyone on KZbin goes and plays anymore and that becomes super popular because everyone plays it. In comparison the newer ones are probably more "popular" because more people play it but earlier ones felt more impactful. Like, they've gotten better and better over time but you just can't have that same feeling from back then anymore, it's the same with Minecraft in general I feel. Early Minecraft and modern Minecraft have two completely different feels, and while I love both, I do find myself looking back at the early, simpler one a lot, but maybe in this case that's just the nostalgia and memories. :D

Seeing Skygrid again sent me way back, wow. The nostalgia.

[@jkl3937]

hope you get better soon

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

i have such a strong memory of being a kid watching shadow of israphel and their first encounters with "NPCs" who spoke and had dialogue with them. I was so shocked at where I could find NPCs who you could talk with in my game that I wondered for years if it was mods or what--and how it could be in the game at that time. I will never ever forget that minecraft series

[@glitchy_weasel]

Even tough I didn't experience most of these maps as a kid - growing up in Latin America, I was more engaged with the spanish-speaking Minecraft community, yet - many of these maps are nostalgic in some way, almost as if I have played them or some similar ones. Man, I'm afraid many new players might have a very different experience; seeing how Microsoft is pushing the non-Java versions of the game, I wonder if new players will have the same freedom to explore community made maps, mods, and servers.

[@dailydelphox]

Zelda Adventure is a map worth mentioning. I thiiink it technically also counts as a mod? But a map itself does a lot of the heavy lifting to show what the mods WAY back in the day could do, in a way that predates modern Minecraft features and replicates the feeling of exploring the Aether. The map was a showcase for the potential Minecraft held, with a focus on atmosphere, the inability to break blocks so you could feel immersed in the hand crafted world, there were actual dungeons and somewhat of a story to follow, and new mechanics put to use like being able to toss bombs or having two hands for your inventory slot.

[@xKrizel]

Omg Zelda Adventure was soooo mindblowing back then. I mean it still is to this day. The map had like an actual Story with cutscenes and was such a good replica

[@b3kstudio]

I feel like Jeoffrey's Chamber is also worth a mention. Not massively popular, but it was absolutely a turning point in the way adventure maps are made.

[@seraphiisms]

i need to thank you because i was searching for this map for 30 minutes and couldn't remember the name THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭

[@GlitchedDemiDreemurr]

Some of the first videos I ever watched on youtuber was ihascupquake playing Diversity. That will forever be one of my favorites just out of infinite nostalgia

[@LouMosin]

I actually just went through last week on a quest to find all of these maps also to which I recovered many of them already, roughly 15

[@CiRdy34]

Recently me and some friends started playing the classic Skyblock 2.1, and what I love so much about it is that the more Minecraft gets updated, the more things you can do on the map. It really is *timeless.*

[@nakelot6029]

Amazing video, brings up memories of times when the game felt like the Wild West! Keep up the great work!

[@Galimeer5]

I'm a fan of some of the oldest Minecraft Adventure Maps, like **Redmurk Mystery.** I also have vague, blurry, but fond memories of **Gourd Avenger** and **Trial of the Old Ones.** I've been wanting to revisit them for some time now, but I don't even know if download links for them still exist.

[@Sans_The_Skeleton]

It’s not even a reskinned villager it’s just an old librarian villager texture it’s just that simple

[@caldog619]

For me on the pocket edition, it was Unrealengines. It was one of the only maps that had a waterfall and lava fall side by side at a time when caves weren’t implemented in the game and so lava was extremely rare.

[@texti-animates-sometimes]

Y-you forgot the PopularMMOs house

[@MatthewCobalt]

I still remember Sky Grid from iBallisticSquid, as he set up a story of how his Sky Island Challenge world got devoured and turned into that mess. Shame he ended the series just after he came returned to his original Sky Island Challenge world, as he abandoned it as if he would continue but not.

[@marwin6605]

i recently discovered your channel and i have to say that you are extremely underrated. the ammount of nostalgia in combination with quality content is just unreal, thank you for your videos.

[@PaladinRyan]

so glad to hear it!

[@CaptVenom2]

A world that is still playable but has definitely changed and has fallen off over the years is MineZ. It's very nostalgic for me.

[@hossel_]

I expected "lost to time" as in, actual lost media. Bit misleading of a title if you ask me, but still good content nonetheless.

[@PaladinRyan]

hmm I didn't even think about the confusion..I intended "lost to time" as in forgotten/old/faded to obscurity. thanks for the feedback, i might change it if others feel this way!

[@Dexter_Wilson]

Yea doesn't seem confusing lmao its probably just a you thing

[@Justrobby275]

Even though it is still being used today, stamps lovely world was one of the high points in my childhood

[@TheMacSpeedy]

The first time I played Minecraft was in 2012 on the tutorial world from the 360 edition, I can remember asking my friend if torch’s would catch my house on fire or finding the hidden diamond armor for the first time by the castle, the spider spawner behind the stone furnace building, or even the random space underneath the castles floor at the back. This is my favorite memory of Minecraft, and I’ll never forget it. I was only 9 when I had this experience and it feels like it was yesterday.

[@hariranormal5584]

Man, these bring back memories. Fun days when I'd say my brother "look what I made when you were not there", and he believed it! I was putting in the acting of "ahhh my hands pain so much that took a while" LOLLLLLLL. Memories.

[@JelloSalad021]

All the Super Hostile maps come to my mind, Black Desert specifically

[@Pvt.Fernandez]

I once downloaded a map which had a huge castle, a huge treehouse and a windmill all next to each other, I lost the map on a power outage that damaged my PC back in like 2013/2014. I have NEVER been able to find that map again... it was my favorite of all time, and it only lives on as a memory.

[@RogueTomahawkGaming]

I still have every version of the Xbox 360 tutorial map. I wish the would do that again because finding every music disc was super fun

[@expendableindigo9639]

2:36 note, most of the importantant elements like Istraphel, Daisy and Peculier themselves were setup in their origianal Minecraft Let’s Play you can see in Green on the playlist. SOI was more of a continuation of that while Survival Island is mostly normal but quickly loops in a teaser to SOI.

[@U_Geek]

I learned english mostly through dantdm mod reviews.I could never forget the lab.

[@anqel_liisa]

A map that gives me the most nostalgia is definitely Stampys lovely world. I remember watching his videos when I was little even though I didn´t undersatnd english. His intros are just so nostalgic.

[@Mike-James]

I always thought that there was some hidden something in the mansion, a hidden room or place that just needed finding, a secret that was never discovered, it's strange, just seeing after all that time brings so many feelings, people that were just never met voices, but called friend, remembering the names of Minecraft youtubers you will never see again, the crazy mistakes you made when you first started, hoping you can call out the noob when they make the same mistake, but you never do. You enter a server and talk to a guy or girl you have never met like a friend you haven't seen for a while. You never realise how big the Minecraft community is or close until you stop playing. Great times my friend, great times.

[@darkbooger]

One of my favorite minigame worlds to play on the Legacy versions of Minecraft Console was starting a world with nothing but lava as the bottom layer above the void and gravel or sand as the top layer on a custom superflat with a single bonus chest which upon being opened would start the game. The chest would cause block updates causing the gravel to start falling, however unlike bedrock and java not all the block updates would happen at once since it would likely have crashed the underpowered consoles at the time or caused severe lag. Instead the gravel would start falling out in waves and the only way to escape it was to hopefully come across a village which you would quickly tear down or settle it if it had saplings and dirt available, but your activity there could start more block updates which would cause another hole in the world to open up. There was never really an end goal with this self-imposed minigame, it was just chaotic fun and it got even better once we got unlimited world generation on consoles which was a huge leap forward at the time until we lost the custom layers setting for world creation. It was fun while it lasted.

[@noahw2884]

Shadow of Israphael was my comfort series back then. So nostalgic. Miss those days. I wish I could rewatch them for the first time all over again

[@CoGames_]

The tutorial maps are all so nostalgic for me. I always did roleplays with just me alone in those worlds… that’s so so sooo cool to think about that again

[@denard7926]

The first episode of Yogcast’s survival island series was the first Minecraft video I ever watched. I was 5 years old watching it on my parents computer, and now I’m 17 and still playing the game.

[@bigcooltony437]

Another map that gives me huge nostalgia is the OG Stampylonghead map, it doesn’t really fit the “lost to time” name, but added a lot to my childhood

[@MissJazz004]

christmas day, 2013. my dad decided to get an xbox 360 for me and my sister so we had something to do when we went to his house. it had come with kinect and kinect adventures, but i had only one thing on my mind. with the $20 i had gotten from my grandparents, i asked my dad to go to walmart, and i marched straight back to the electronics section, and picked up the very first game i had ever bought myself, minecraft. we went back home and i immediately started playing. i had played the first version of pocket edition sometime earlier in the year, but this was the first time i had the entire game to explore. i started a new tutorial world, and fully immersed myself in learning all the different mechanics that it taught back then, and while i was learning, i was also stunned by how incredible the game looked compared to what i was used to, which was my n64. that was nearly a decade ago now, but the memory is still fresh in my mind. i miss those days, watching toonami on adult swim when i was supposed to be asleep, playing gameboy games on playr, reading manga that i’d borrowed from the library, and watching avgn videos. i miss being 9 sometimes. things were a lot simpler then. life is harder, and scarier, and the world is in a constant spiral of chaos, but when things start to get overwhelming, i know i can still boot up an older build, and enjoy a few hours in old school minecraft

[@asteranightshade2981]

I love this video, but I'd like to mention two maps that I think deserved to be here, Yoglabs and Duncan's Castle, not sure if the second one counts as a map but it definitely has that nostalgic, forgotten feeling to it

[@crowshadowfire1177]

Oh jeez, I played xbox 360 minecraft way back when it came out, and me and my younger sister played the demo version with just the tutorial so much. We used to think that flower dye was pickaxes! And then I remember when we bought it properly, and were able to leave that starting area and play for more than 15 minutes.... I remember when pistons first came to console, and I remember the automatic cobble generator bridge you had to use to get to the castle! I remember when the nether was added, and the portal in the floating MINECRAFT sign, and my brother in law (then my older sisters boyfriend) telling us that the nether was dangerous, and we needed to sleep first. That brings back so many good memories for me, and I just sent the map to my sister to give her the same nostalga trip I got, realizing that versions of it still exist.

[@PaladinRyan]

such a good story!! Love it.

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

Theres a lot of other unknown iconic maps out there from non english speaking origin, for me its the minecraft roleplay maps created by Full house (i think thats their current name) or the mod showcase map lukaMC had for his mod showcases, bloodmasters survival world, the arena used in SerbianGamesBL's youtuber collabs, skyhouse etc. Theres also iconic seeds (sorry all of these are serbian spesific lmao, its just the best example)

[@imchillin8824]

I’ve been watching your videos and had no idea this was a “small” channel this whole time. You are talented dawg

[@PaladinRyan]

comments like this mean more than you know. thanks for watching and saying that!

[@iRezKeysHD]

someone shoudl totally create a mod/adventure map that uses the shadow of israphel map, that adds NPC, and a new quest to find Simon and Lewis since they disappeared without finishing the series, and you are requested to help track them down while exploring the map full of life and interact and do side quests from npcs, now that would be amazing!

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

This vid takes me back to my childhood with Stampy danTDM and mc naveed

[@dauphin2200]

It's not mentioned here, but my personal top 10 would include the selection of Vechs Super Hostile maps-- especially the old ones like Sea of Flame and Black Desert, since we're being nostalgic. A bunch of really cool high-difficulty combat/exploration focused maps that pioneered the "complete the monument" or "CtM" subgenre of adventure maps.

[@theflamingprotogen6405]

The nostalgia hits from fallen kingdom and the Xbox 360 tutorials are insane... The flashbacks... My brother once had a world called survive and thrive. We actually still have it. My brother had a house, while I would live underground. Beside his house... Good times...

[@Maxwell.bodybuilding]

My buddy and I just started a classic skyblock. It’s been fun, especially the grind to acquire villagers and all the things they give you access to. I would recommend giving it another shot with the new twist of being able to make villagers.

[@mtdoge8885]

Man, Minecraft will forever be a OG game, never thought I'd be this nostalgic over the game

[@love_a_hater]

I remember watching chimneyswift and mr360games all day every day and I'm rewatching their old playthroughs to inspire me to connect with my older self. Great video!

[@random_dud_3]

The map "Sunburn islands" from the series "super Hostile" deserves to have an spot here. It is the first user Map i have played ever.
