Minecraft Purple Coin Challenge by MusicalWolfe

This is a Minecraft project I worked on in 2011. The (slightly updated) instructions are reproduced below.

  1. Download the world and purple coin texture pack and unzip it:

    Download World

    If I remember correctly, this level is designed for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. But it might be for 1.6.6, I can’t remember. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW VERSIONS OF MINECRAFT.

  2. Place the world folder in your ‘.minecraft/saves’ folder and the texture pack ‘PurplePack.zip’ in your ‘.minecraft/texturepacks’ folder.

  3. Open Minecraft, click ‘Mods and Texture Packs’ and click ‘Purple Pack’. This will retexture the flowers as purple coins.

  4. Start up the world - you have about 2 minutes to start the level before the items start to decay. If you want to time yourself, time starts when you open the first door, and it stops when you hit the final lever.

    It seems like people are having trouble with chunks only partially loading, which makes all the redstone wiring not work as it should. I can only recommend using something like Optimine to pre-load faraway chunks, and/or waiting about 30 seconds for everything to load before you start the level. This world has a very large amount of redstone wiring hidden under the lava.

    ALSO Make sure to save a pristine copy of the world before you play it, that way you can just copy it over again and put the coins back out if you fall in the lava!
