These maps are Must Plays for people to get into. It’s not because they’re popular or highly liked, but rather they’re unnoticed or “underrated”. Despite the amount of time and effort a person puts into their passion project, the project will often go unseen by the community at large. It doesn’t matter how much advertising you might do, how many people start interest at the beginning, nor even the group you create around the hype for it.

In this situation, there’s a lot of maps that are left unattended or not cared enough for simply because people don’t sit down to take the time to play it or that it may not be interesting at first. It’s understandable, but it can be quite sad for the content creators who put their heart and soul into these works.

Even though we at StickyPiston take joy in taking all walks of life and allow for all kinds of creators to get involved with putting their maps out on the trials. This is for you guys, the guys who put a lot of time in their maps and need the push to get noticed.

Normally cooperative maps require communication between 2 different people that work together. In this, you’ll be here to test your communications between 3 other people, essentially requiring 4 people to be working together. Trying to speak in different ways and communicate with each other will make you feel a bit tongue-tied.

7. Forsaken Dungeons by YouKnowWhen

MC 1.21.1 Profile | Can be played between 1 to 32 Players

This roguelike map honestly needs more of an upgrade in the amount of people who play it.

You can play the standard experience known as “Telephone” or you can explore out into the other modes. You have Hypixel’s own Build Battle here, a tournament mode which is an enhanced version of Build Battle, or even Grian’s Build Offs known as “1v1s” here.

Quality is considered a pretty subjective term all things considered. Some people would consider various different Parkour Maps that have flowing and fun parkour to be top quality. Some people would consider maps that have the most amount of variety with their gameplay to be the highest of quality.

Well in this case, quality refers to the amount of polish each map has alongside the amount of content it has. Being a well-designed map that has tons of polish is hard to manage these days. Not only being able to introduce a lot of fun content while also being optimized for all players, these maps are meant to be fun while still being large for them.

Using StickyPiston as a way to discover these, we provide to you a way to explore the best of the best. Everything here is to feature what we think is the best that are around that you can find on the trials site and the One Click Installer. The order here isn’t in list of “least greatest to greatest” either, rather it’s in order for the earliest versions to the latest versions.

This is a straightforward Parkour map in where you need to reach the end like most others. However, how you reach the end will be determined by different mapmakers.

1. Across The Time 2 – Time For Regrets by Team Adventquest

MC 1.20.2 Profile | Can be played between 1 to 3 Players

Honestly going into this map, there wasn’t a whole lot of expectations for this sequel. The original map was a fun journey, but asides from being grand in builds and being fun to utilize spells, there really wasn’t that much it had to offer over any other Adventure Map at the time.

This time your heroic acts have led to you partaking in a curse and will have to travel through the land of Silberland to get rid of this evil. With new custom loot, ton of secondary objectives, a bunch of side quests, many new cutscenes, and tons of new spells that can scale across 10 different levels.. you will have so many new things to experience that change everything up. You may just want to order a server in order to experience this map to its fullest!

This is a classic game that was recently pushed to the latest version by our resident mapmaker Dominexis. He helps with creating these reforged versions of the original game without ruining what made the classic so good.

In Monster Industries, your goal is to reach the stock count faster than the opposing team. How do you gain stock you may ask? Well you have to kill the other team. You can’t kill them normally though. You have to gather resources in order to buy mobs and mob upgrades to generate everything faster. With this speed, you can buy mobs from the villagers around and gain mob eggs. From there, you can summon them on the opposing side and defeat your enemies, gaining 100 stock per kill they do.
