Hello! I have made a parkour map!
This map is composed of effect block parkour jumps.

Version
This map is made for minetest 0.4.15.

About the map
Checkpoints
Step on the brown baked clay blocks to set your spawnpoint.
This map does not use the static_spawnpoint setting.

Sprinting
Please do not use a sprinting mod. This map handles sprinting itself.

Effect blocks
There are 11 effect blocks used.

No one to race?
My times are 13 minutes and 40 seconds.
I died 53 times.
Your times are told when you finish the race.

What are those circles I am holding?
These circles ( ) are configuration settings for the map. The first one, if thrown with Q, will return you to the previous checkpoint after a 3 second respawn timer. The second one toggles, if thrown, the no sneaking challenge. If this circle is red, then you can't sneak. The third one uses the same principle as the former, but toggles the ability to use the sneak glitch. The last one toggles the 3 second respawn timer. (Pressing space and shift at the same time.) The second, third, and fourth circles are only shown to singleplayer and the detected server admin.



Dependencies

Has anyone tried this yet?

Yes. Nice idea, but
1. The yellow circle says "Press Q to Restart" but It don't works.
Q is normaly to throw an item away, but you can change it to an other Letter.
2. If you have sneaking enabled and also sneak glitch enabled you can sneak at the edge of a red block and you will not die.
3. I think a respawn time isn't cool

Thank you for the suggestions!
I have made the changes.
1. It now says throw to restart
2. That is unavoidable, try any minecraft effect parkour maps, they all use the same principal.
3. That is now configurable with a 3rd circle.

EDIT: Added

I tested it again. Now it's better.

The poll is up!

EDIT: I have made an executive decision, the verdict is 8 portals map.
If you have any ideas, they are very welcome.
Thanks!

Thank you for making a youtube video!
I watched it, it looked great!
One thing though... in the description, the link only goes to https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic
and not to https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic?t=16325.

C'mon! Parkour maps are underrated!
Do you know how much time I spent on this?
Oh, and BUMP

I am not making an 8 portals map, because I accidentally deleted it. D:
Instead, I will make an Extreme Parkour Trilogy.

That would be nice :)

Well, if you must know, this is legitimately the BEST map I've EVER seen for MT (sorry 1248 - wait, you're the one who made the Adventus maps, right?)

Oh, and FYI, there's probably a YouTube video coming up about this from me soon. Possibly, that is if I don't get really lazy.

TL;DR AMAZING job!

Thank you very much! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me *sniff* *sniff*. :P

Do you like the HUD down at the lower left?

HUD looks nice! I will say though, making the HUD update every second with globalstep (IDK how to use it myself, ask someone more experienced) wouldn't hurt.

If I understood you correctly, I already update the HUD every globalstep.
@octacian I am looking forward to watching your video!

Map number 2 is on it's way! It has explosive new features such as dynamic void height, skybox color changing, HUD elements telling you everything you need to know, and much more!
So who's excited!

I AM! :P

The map is coming out very soon! I have just been slacking. Sorry :P
