So, after i saw Yogscast playing a Planetoids map i just had to try i out myself. Really fun and pretty challenging at the start.
Planetoids is a map with “planets” and you start on a wooden one. From there you have to make wooden picks, axes etc. And collect enough wood to be able to build your way to the next planet, preferably a stone planet. After reaching a stone planet you can build a stone pick.

Every stone planet is filled with some kind of stuffing… For example coal, iron, diamond ore etc. But they can also be stuffed with lava and gravel, which can make your trip useless.

I spawned next to a huge stone planet when i started, and after getting my wooden picks i went there, “to bad” for me that is was filled with diamond ore, i couldn’t even mine it :P Anyway, i kept on building bridges to other stone planets in search for iron, but i only found coal, gravel, gold and lava. After a few hours i hit a iron planet and finally got my iron pick. On to the diamond planet next to my spawn, i kind of went over the top and mined 4 stacks of diamond, altho i don’t need that much.

I do feel however, that after i got my diamond tools and armor i kind of lost interest, it kind of felt like i won and there wasn’t anything left to do. But i did start making dirt platforms and small farms here and there, and collecting drops from mobs and making a cake. I also made some dye’s to make colored cloth.

I do not know what to do next tho, maybe build a real base instead of the crappy platform i got at the moment. All in all it was a really fun map and something to do while waiting for minecraft.net to get going again.

Oh, almost forgot, I found a “secret” exit from the Planetoid area down by the water at a corner. It was a small hole in the bedrock. After going through i found myself in a ordinary Minecraft world, so i guess my next project could be connecting the two areas together. Pictures are in the gallery below.

If you want to try the Planetoids map, download this program or (here) and follow the instructions, it’s real easy!

This is how my inventory looks at the moment, everything legit of course, since diamond are abundant after you get your iron pick.
