The best Minecraft Adventure Mode maps
Cops and Robbers series
There are multiple maps in the popular Cops and Robbers series, and they are all a blast to play on. These maps are developed by Podcrash, a group of independent developers and map makers, and all can be downloaded from their website and the Planet Minecraft site.
These maps require at least two players to participate, one cop and one robber, but the experience is better with more people. The game is based in a very well-built prison block. The cop’s duty is to order around the prisoners and keep the jail running like a normal prison, while the robbers need to look for any opportunity to escape and get out of the prison before they get caught by the cops.
Drehmal v2: Primordial
This remake of the original Drehmal map is designed with a whimsical, fantastical flair. The map is expansive and highly detailed throughout, with many locales and things to see. Everywhere you go, you are guaranteed to find something new. The creators of this map spent more than a year completely reworking the map and adding new lore, stories, and secrets, so there is no shortage of content.
Ender Island
This map is based on a beautifully terraformed island meant to test your Minecraft survival skills. It features numerous dungeons, boss fights, quests, and challenges for you to complete.
