Untold Stories 3: Myriad Caves (Series)

The series

Myriad Caves is the third map in the Untold Stories series by renderXR, and it is a Complete the Monument map. That means the goal is not survival for its own sake: it is finding the colored wool blocks scattered across the world and carrying them back to place on a victory monument.

Team B.S. took 90 episodes to finish it.

What makes this map different

Most CTM maps run you down a corridor of themed areas in a fixed order. Myriad Caves does not. It is built as an open cave network, so most areas open onto several others and you can wander into something far above your level without meaning to. Picking a route is part of the challenge.

The map also runs its own food and health rules rather than vanilla Minecraft's, which changes how long you can stay out before heading back to safety.

Alongside the wool there are emeralds hidden through the caves, and a lot of the run is spent hunting those down. If you look at the episode list you will see whole episodes named after single emeralds, which should tell you how well hidden some of them are.

What to expect

Ninety episodes covers a lot of ground. Named areas like the Grotto of the Novice, Lumenspire Cavern, the Bandon Mines, the Forsaken Cliffs and the Witch Inn. Gear upgrades that change how the run plays, including the Dwarven Pickaxe, Emerald Armor, Ruby Armor and the Titan Axe. A difficulty bump partway through. A stretch of PVP. A creeper grinder, a mob grinder, and the inevitable episode where the floor is lava.

It stays family friendly the whole way, same as the rest of the channel.
