Tangled Maze [1.8 - 1.12]
Tangled Maze API

What is Tangled Maze?

Tangled Maze is a powerful maze generator that makes it possible to build mazes in flat terrain just as well as on mountains and hillsides, even underwater.

This plugin also contains tools to give your maze every possible shape. You can combine squares and circles or simply brush a maze into the shape you wish!

And if you do not like the result you can still unbuild everything and make changes.

Feel free to play around with the shape of your maze as much as you like to.

Mazes will even work on an unusual surfaces such as spheres.

How does it work?

To create a maze, you have to create floor plan of it with a maze wand. The outline of it will be shown with blocks on the ground. You can add or cut away new shapes or smooth the outline block by block as much as you wish. Afterwards the maze generator will build a maze from this floor plan.

This way it should be very easy and intuituve to construct a beatiful maze, without any overcomplicated commands.

What's new?

1.2.4

paht length command - with this brand new command you can affect how far the paths in your maze will try to expand in one direction.
Until now the paths in a maze would change directions quiet often and create rather obscure patterns (picture below, left). But with this new feature you can give your mazes a much better and more natural look! (picture below, right).

1.2.3

unbuild command - a long requested feature to unbuild generated mazes and reuse the already created maze floor

1.2.2

smoother walls - block needels like smaller trees or anything else will not disrupt the shape of walls anymore

full 1.13 support - now Tangled Maze runs on 1.13 and it's blocks can be used to build mazes
language config - you can now change the messages of Tangled Maze in the language.yml to you own language

Tutorial - Creating a maze

creating a first floor plan

The tool you will need in every step of constructing your maze's floor plan will be a Maze Wand. You can get it with /tangledmaze wand.

Click on two blocks on the ground witth the wand to create a shape (can be a rectangle or circle). You can resize it by dragging a blue corner and start over by clicking two new blocks.

If you want to use the shape as floor plan use /tangledmaze start (the clipboard will turn into redstone blocks).

editing a floor plan

There are three ways to edit the floor plan you created so far:

add another shape to it
cutt away another shape
add or brush away single blocks

Create a secondary shape which overlaps with your floor plan. With the command /tangledmaze add or cut you can add or cut away this new shape of your floor plan.

Use /tangledmaze select brush to get the brush tool. Left click on the outline of your floor plan to expand it at that block, right click to reduce it.

setting exits

Your can choose how many entrances or exits you maze should have. Use /maze select exit and click blocks with your maze wnad where you want an exit to be placed. Click on an exit a second time to delete it.

generating the maze

To get your maze generated use the build command for example like this:
/tangledmaze build oak_leaves spruce_leaves
This will build you maze out of 50/50 oak and spruce leaves. You can use as many different materials as you like, just each one needs to be seperated with a space.
