A few people have asked me about building maps and arenas for use on RCA, so I figured I would make a reference post to tell you guys what we need and what you need to consider when making a build for a certain minigame. I have them split into three groups based on demand. These will be updated as we have need for maps.
As an added incentive, on a case to case basis, you will be paid in crowns if your map is used on the server. The amount can fluctuate depending on the size of the map, the demand for that kind of map, and the quality of that map, but can vary between 250c and 1000c.
A few considerations before making any map:
Place signs at important locations like spawns, flags, chests, etc.
Several things WILL NOT copy over, including entities (paintings, item frames, mobs), the contents of tile entities (chests, furnaces, dispensers), and the text on signs.
The build MUST be complete to be considered. Simplicity isn’t a bad thing, but a build of higher quality and complexity will have a greater standing.
If you are considering making a map or wish to make one of your pre-existing builds into a map, please contact us throughout the process! That way, the process will run smoothly.
