Famous maps you must try

These are the most popular Minecraft maps, well-known throughout the Minecraft community. They make our list of best Minecraft maps not only because they're so fun, but because of the massive impact and history of the maps. If you haven't tried these, you're missing out on tons of fun!

The Dropper

An instant classic and a genre creating map, The Dropper is a twist on parkour maps - instead of jumping to where you need to go, you have to drop! Drop your way through a collection of 16 challenging maps with one simple goal: reach the end with as few deaths as possible.

The map, by creator Bigre, rose to fame after YouTubers Lewis and Simon from the Yogscast played it in a video way back in 2012.

Perfect for playing alone to beat your own record or challenging some friends, and with a sequel from the original creator and hundreds of other Dropper Minecraft maps by other creators, you could spend countless hours on Dropper maps!

Cops and Robbers 4

A sort of role play prison escape game best enjoyed with friends, this map is a game of wits where two teams try to outsmart each other, but only one team can be crowned champions. This super simple but creative map rose to fame after SkyDoesMinecraft and his friends played it on their YouTube channel, amassing millions of views.

One or two people play the cop(s) and the other people play the robbers. The cop can release the robbers from their cells and give them orders to do specific things, like head to the kitchen to eat food, take a shower, etc. If a robber disobeys then they can be punished. The goal for the robbers is to find a way to escape the prison without the cop(s) getting too suspicious or catching them in the act!

Before you boot up the map and play, we heavily recommend you read the 'honor rules' set out on the Planet Minecraft page by the map creators to help you have the best time you can.

Greenfield Minecraft City Map

This is the largest city ever built in Minecraft. It's almost impossible to believe that it's actually Minecraft, but over 9 years of continued hard work from the map creators has produced this awe inspiring, massive, detailed Minecraft map. The city is built in a 1:1 scale, which makes it feel all the more real as you travel through the city in Minecraft. Yes, this picture really is of the Minecraft build!

Best enjoyed with at least 4 players, players split into four teams and each team takes a corner. Once the timer starts you have 15 minutes to mine, craft, and prepare for battle. After 15 minutes the walls fall, the battle begins, and the last surviving team wins.

Created 8 years ago by the Hypixel team, who you now probably know as the team behind Minecraft's most popular minigames server. They even created a sequel, and went on to add a 'Crazy' version to their minigames server!

The Temple of Notch

Most of you reading this will already know who Notch is, but in case you don't, Notch is the bearded Swedish man who made Minecraft way back in 2009 before selling the game (and Mojang) to Microsoft in 2014.

The map, by creator FVDisco, released all the way back in 2009 is a fun little tribute to Minecraft's creator. Explore a temple dedicated to Notch and find a statue of his head. Once here, using then innovative redstone mechanics, the head of Notch will be able to judge you - either killing you, or dropping you gold and diamonds.
