- The map must confirm to the chest color standards
- The map MUST NOT contain beds
Please Note
- Chests are overridden as normal chests at this time
- You can change your map and its classes/items after it is moved
- You will have to add all the classes and items yourself
- Sign contents don’t carry over, you’ll need to re-edit them
After Submission
After submitting, the submission will be reviewed by a Zombies Manager. If the submission needs further changes, it will be tagged #pending and one week will be given to fulfil all the changes. If or when the submission doesn’t need further changes, it will be tagged #in-progress and moved into Zombies. The submitter will then be given map builder permissions, while other builders will have to request for them. The submission must then be finished within a month. If the submission become inactive, it will be tagged #not-added and archived.
Format
You must post a thread in the appropriate section with the following format. Please note that you are essentially submitting a form, this means you should fill out the information in text. Images, links to text and other indirections are not accepted as responses to each section(except #6 Images). If any links, images or other indirections cannot be taken out without invalidating your submission, then your submission is invalid.

#3 Unverified Rating

#4 Ownership
#4.1
I [permit/do not permit] someone else to take over ownership of my map for it to be processed and setup without me if I am inactive or unavailable.
What does this mean?
This means that someone else can be allowed to add your map according to the specifications specified in #5. The map will not be added to the pool if deviations have to be made from the specifications unless you permit edits per #4.2. You may take ownership over your map back when you are active/available again unless #4.3 has been enacted to take ownership permanently (if you permitted it, otherwise the map will most likely be deleted).
#4.2
I [permit/do not permit] unauthorised edits by administrators/managers.
What does this mean?
This means that if the requirements for maps change, such as difficulties or color code requirements, that administrators/managers can edit your map to conform to these changes without asking you first. If you do not permit us to do this, your map will be taken out of the pool until you resolve the issue yourself.
#4.3
I [permit/do not permit] administrators/managers to take over my map if I become inactive or unavailable.
What does this mean?
This means that if you go inactive or become unavailable that administrators/managers can take control of your map to make changes, additions or removals, and be considered the new owners of the map. If you do not permit us to do this, your map can be permanently deleted from Zombies at any time if you are inactive or unavailable (that is both the map as it exists in blocks and walls, as well as the map in terms of the classes, items, and other setup).
#5 Breakdown
Detail of a list of:
- Spawn locations for enemies
- Spawn location for players
- Classes and their respective items - make sure to use tables for each chest
Make use of a table of contents and headers to format your post. Remember that this is a document for other people as well.
#6 Images
Put the images of the map here. There must be at least two images: one without annotations and one with annotations. The annotations must point(rough location) out where the player spawns and mob spawns are. You can annotate images with editors such as Pixlr or ShareX.
Rating
The unverified rating is intended to specify the intent of the maps difficulty. If the map’s difficulty does not match its intent, you will be given a chance to rectify the mismatch, if you do not change your map, it will be officially categorised differently from your intent. Ratings are categorised (roughly) as such:
Beginner
- Map contains no lava pits or parkour
- Map provides easy enemy spawn locations
- Map provides good enough weapons/armor/other to not challenge players that much
Examples: Beach House, Winter’s Scream, Hill House
Normal
- Map contains no unrevivable lava pits or difficult parkour
Examples: Winter’s Howl, Crystal Caverns
Difficult
- Map contains hard spawn locations
- Avoiding enemies is necessary
- Possible unrevivable locations
Examples: Shadow’s Descent, Heaven’s Hell
