Minecraft: The Mountain is a Marketplace map developed by Blockception that promotes the official Minecraft novel of the same name.

Summary

The map begins in an info room set inside a compass, floating above a recreation of the Island, visible through stained glass. The player directly faces an entity of the book the map is based off, in front of the book's cover and notices of the book's availability. On the walls are promotions for the developers' Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts. Upon approaching the book, the player will be propelled into the paper and begin the story.

Foreign Land

A narrator recaps the story of Guy, a figure who spawned in the ocean and has now left the Island in search of answers. Players begin the narrative in a boat, with only an iron sword, 28 steaks, an iron shovel, a compass, and a set of iron armor. The first objective is to simply go west, rowing through a cold ocean around icebergs up to a snowy beach. Upon making it to shore, the player has to climb up snow, where four zombies spawn and ambush the player. After defeating those, four strays spawn in their place.

Upon defeating the strays, a much larger group of monsters appear, the player being encouraged to flee. Crossing over a frozen river, players will stumble upon a weak spot in the ground, falling into a canyon. Behind a spring is a torch, which leads down a stairway to an underground chamber, holding a bed, furnaces, chests, bookshelves, and stone bricks. On an anvil is a book, a journal to be exact, which gives backstory to the area. Progressing outside a spruce door leads to a strip mined tunnel leads back to the outside, where the narrative player eyes lava, coming from the titular mountain.

Reaching the top of the mountain reveals the lava to be unnaturally wide, covering a side of the mountain, with a single poppy on nearby dirt. Digging the dirt reveals a lever under the flower, which when used triggers a cinematic revealing The Mountain, as the lava vanishes.

The Mountain

Behind the lava are a set of doors, which when opened reveal en expansive corridor made of polished andesite. Two levers are placed next to the doors, one reactivating the lava, the other turning on redstone lamps throughout the hall. Beneath an armor stand wearing gold armor is a second journal from Guy and Summer, explaining that they are giving the Mountain to whoever finds it, and that it has several tasks left to be fulfilled. A door on the right leads to a command room, with double chests, a fletching table, a cartography table, a jukebox, and tools in item frames. Another room to the left is a bedroom, with a brick fireplace with a display of chainmail armor and gray beds, a second journal from Guy alone sitting on the floor.

The player is tasked with lighting up the fortress, with a lever on a spruce log pillar in the command room and next to the door in the "luxury hotel" bedroom. To the left of the command room is a bathroom, with a working "hot tub," the light switch placed next to a Graham painting. Behind the workstations in the command room is a lever that opens "binds," in the form of gravel being pushed up and down by pistons. Beyond those rooms is a main chamber, three stories tall, with a light switch and maintenance switch next to its entrance. Going down to the first floor and passing by several indoor farms, the player finds a fully stocked kitchen lined with jungle logs, where a journal written by Summer is found. She tasks the player with finding 8 pumpkins, 18 melon slices, 32 carrots and potatoes, and 64 beetroots.

9 carrots, 12 beetroots, and 14 potatoes can be found in chests inside the kitchen, while 7 pumpkins are inside a barrel in a closet. The remaining crops can be culled in the nearby farm, the closest to the kitchen being melons. Upon collecting the required foods, the player is instructed to find 24 of each mushroom, which are found in a room on the opposite side of the main chamber. Entering the hall, players can find another light switch and gold armor display, as well as a double chest holding several unreadable books. The mushrooms can be found inside of a dark room lined with redstone torches, growing off stone. Passing by a chest full of paper, the player is brought to a chicken coop, where they must cull 5 raw chicken.

After collecting all the harvest, the player is ordered to enter the "Tool Room," which is across from the kitchen. Inside the Tool Room is another task from Summer, this time to trek to an igloo near a river for supplies. The igloo can be found west of the Mountain, identifiable by a chimney and well. Inside is a third journal from Guy, and then instructions to collect 3 rabbit hides, 3 raw rabbits, 5 muttons, 5 leather, and 5 raw beef, found in various chests inside the igloo. Upon collecting all the needed items, monsters will begin to spawn outside, including zombies, strays, and spiders, incentivizing the player to rest until morning.

The Ice Cube

Upon waking up, the player is ordered to investigate a mysterious room in the Mountain locked with iron doors, a pair of flint and steel appearing in the player's inventory overnight. Sure enough, behind the doors is a nether portal, with a third task from Summer below. Entering the Nether, the player will find themselves in a basalt delta, with a path of nether bricks and soul lanterns. Traversing blackstone and avoiding magma blocks leads the player to an expansive bridge, passing by a zombified piglin and at the end the Ice Cube.

Feeling a change in temperature, the player will try to loot the building, requiring 4 ghast tears, 8 magma creams, 32 blaze rods, 32 glowstone dusts, and 32 nether warts. Upon collecting the resources needed for potions, the player character overhears a ghast, and is so terrified that they decide to return to the Overworld. On the way back, the player runs into several piglins and piglin brutes.

Epilogue

Upon returning to the Mountain, a hidden area, the "Collector's Room" is opened inside the building. At the entrance are several hoppers, marked with items, and a final task from Summer. Upon collecting the book, the player is now allowed to continue the map in survival mode, with the incentive to find the needed items to open a secret door in the Collector's Room. The ideas needed include polished blackstone bricks, an eye of ender, quartz stairs, an empty map, a book, and a diamond.

The fetch quest allows the player to explore previously unnecessary areas of the Mountain. Advancing up a stairway connected to the kitchen and Tool Room is a master bedroom, with a jukebox, hanging lanterns, a map of the surrounding area, and a journal written by Summer of her perspective on meeting Guy. On the opposite side of the bedroom is an entrance to the third floor of the Mountain, which includes a potion lab with potted fungi and an automated brewing stand. Close by on the stairway is a master bathroom lined with polished granite.

Upon collecting all 6 items, the chiseled stone brick door will open, revealing a treasure chamber containing items such as nether gold ore, dried kelp blocks, bamboo, and blocks of emerald. In several barrels lie uncommon items, such as coral, honey bottles, and bottles o' enchanting. At the end is a final book from Summer, and next to it a double chest holding diamond armor and a block of diamond.

History

Trivia

• Although never part of the map's narrative, Bacon Bits, a zombified piglin character from the novel, is present in the Mountain with a name tag and unique dialogue from the player character, reacting in horror.
  • Curiously, the character can appear as both an adult or child.
• Although the map parallels Guy's discovery of the Mountain, down to taking the same route to it, the player character is an unnamed third entity. Similarly, the story of the map is set "well after" Guy and Summer had left, so it's not necessarily the same as they had left it.^[1]
