TangledMaze

logo banner Tangled Maze is a plugin that makes building mazes in Minecraft super easy. With a wand like in WorldEdit, you can visibly select areas where you want to create a maze. You have full control over the shape and size of your mazes!

v3.0 Dungeons Update: Rooms & Loot Chests!

With the settings /maze setting roomcount and /maze setting roomsize you can now create randomly generated rooms in your mazes!

You can spawn loot chests all over your maze, in rooms & deadends with the /maze loot spawn command! This requires the plugin "LootChest" installed.

Variety of Tools

With squares, circles, and triangles you can plan exactly what your maze should look like.

Terrain Adaption

Tangled Maze can even generate mazes on hilly terrain. You don't have to stay on boring flat ground!

Build Settings `/maze setting`

You can decide exactly what dimensions you want walls and paths to have. You can go for huge or small mazes, just as you like:

You can also add roofs to your maze and change what blocks the floor will be made of.

Backing up mazes

With the premium version of Tangled Maze, you can back up your mazes as files and load them again after logging out of the game or after a server restart and continue editing them.

Building mazes from the console

You can use the server console or a command block to load a maze backup and regenerate them from there.

Checkout the new UI to run commands with a single click. Just right-click with the Maze Wand:

setting <property> <integer> - configures the dimensions of walls and paths before building a maze
- wallheight – height of walls in blocks
- wallwidth – thickness of walls
- pathwidth – how wide paths are going to be
- roofwidth – thickness of the roof
- curliness – the chance for paths to make turns (1 - 10)

2 different curliness settings

build [-roof, -floor] <block>... - builds your maze with the blocks you enter. Use the flag -roof or -floor to add a roof or a floor to your maze. To use a block more often, add a multiplier in front of it. Metadata can be added in curly brackets behind the block name. To look up a block's metadata in-game, press F3 and read at the top right corner about the block you focus on
