Spiders' Lab was a pure puzzle map by c_dric. It rewarded 2 FFA Points upon completion using the old Airship points system, and the map could be joined directly using “/c join spl” using the old command syntax (/join and /map join are the commands in use today). However, the map is no longer in FFA nor accessible.
General[edit]
Gameplay[edit]
The player must find the spider towers at each corner and use that information to escape. As the player explores the map, spawners populate the map with spiders. The player is only armed with snowballs to fend them off.
Aesthetics[edit]
The map begins on a floor of a cafe in Fortuna made of sandstone and glass.
In the main area of the map, there is a central king spider tower, as well as four spider towers in the corners and four cave spider pixel arts along the outer walls. The walls, ceiling, and floor of the map are made of glowstone, glass, and water. The section walls and spider art are made of wool.
The end of the map is in a different Fortuna building blocked off for private access. The most distinguishing feature is the central TNT pillar in the room with signs saying "REMEMBER - SAFETY FIRST!".
Current State[edit]
After a feedback request forum thread, the map was pulled from FFA. Even if the player could join the map, the sign entering the lab is broken, and the end sign was removed.
Trivia[edit]
- To prevent players from guessing where the exit is until they get it right, the map used a random teleport system at the start to send the player into one of four near identical copies of the spider lab. This map has one of the oldest implementations of random teleports, possibly predating Iron Door.
