Shadow of Israphel : ReCrafted

Hello all! Welcome to a *massive* project I've finally begun to undertake!



This, is "Shadow of Israphel: ReCrafted", a full re-imagination of the world from The Yogcasts "Shadow of Israphel" Minecraft series. A massive custom-made map with new modernized builds inspired by the originals, in the latest version of Minecraft!



The Map

As you can see, the map is quite different from the original, but not completely! If the shape looks somewhat familiar, it's because I took a photo of the original world and traced a sort of continent shape around the locations and painted in the regions. The map is *much* larger than it's original (as I didn't quite understand quite how big 12000x12000 was, whoops), as such some locations have been moved to accommodate the vast distances between them. The image alone I had to downscale to 13% its original size just to make it upload!



You may also notice some changed/added biomes. This was done to give the world a more natural feel and include some biomes that weren't part of the original version. Though you won't see any notable locations currently (besides Terrorvale as it's the first build I started on) I will post updates for what I've added. You will likely have to read when the map is updated to know what locations are added, they appear extremely small unless you zoom in.

The Lore
After seeing the final version of the terrain, I've decided to alter the lore just a *tad*. Seeing as the desert has a more natural shape in the current version, I'm going to go with a pre Sand War timeline. The locations will have their lore changed a tad as well. Terrorvale is now in a dark forest, Icaria is a port city on the far west of the map, and Swampy's Oasis is now in a literal swamp. Other locations will likely have the same treatment as I progress through the different builds.

The Plan

To be honest, this began as just a wild dream. Then I went out and acquired the map, once I saw the detail the artist had put in, and the sheer scale of it, I began thinking on what I ultimately wanted to do with this project. I could post the map once complete but I feel there's a wasted potential in just posting a download link.



I've considered possibly opening a server with some plugins to turn the project into one big RP world, where people could live the fantasy of being part of the Yogscast's adventure. Or maybe, just maybe with enough traction, this could become the key to reviving the SoI series itself (one can dream).



For now, I'll continue to ponder on this as I work on the project. Your input in the comments is more than welcome!
