Map Aegeroth: the Desert on the Sea by aegeroth

Aegeroth is a fantasy world that I have been working on for many years. Its map has gone through many iterations, but I think I've finally come to a point where I am happy with it, and I decided to recreate it in Minecraft using WorldPainter.

Aegeroth is a series of islands, floating on a floorless sea made of an almost-water substance. The islands shift, the distance between them expanding and contracting, and this has at times had great impacts on Aegeroth’s history. Although diverse, the landscape is primarily mountainous, cold, and dry, showcased by its many canyons and deserts. The environment is harsh, but Aegeroth’s people wouldn’t have it any other way, for the land itself is beautiful and has made them who they are.

The map is roughly built to a 1:250 scale. I built it using WorldPainter, and then touched it up with WorldEdit. I got the trees from Almic's VanillaTrees pack. The screenshots were taken using OptiFine, running Complementary Shaders.

The map is not vanilla, but supports a survival playthrough.  Since structures do not spawn in Aegeroth, I've included a datapack that changes crafting recipes for some blocks. They are as follows:

• Prismarine is crafted by surrounding cyan dye with eight cobblestone.
• Dark prismarine is crafted by surrounding black dye with eight prismarine.
• Prismarine bricks are created by coming four prismarine.
• Seas lanterns are crafted by combining glass and a sea lantern.
