    Minigame: Parkour
    Description of the map: I have noticed a lack in very difficult parkour maps, so I decided to make one that would put even Blackout to shame. This is Effort, a course based off of the hallway-parkours found on the Ibis network (which are called efforts). It has 10 difficult sections, meaning 9 checkpoints (if you think this is too much, there is a mega map with 14+). This is meant to be completed only by very experienced (or patient) parkourists.

    I originally made this map in 1.16.4 but managed to convert it to 1.8.9! Here's my process if interested:
    First of all, I built it in 1.16.4 because I wanted to use WorldEdit to build the hallway easier and it was only working on 1.16.4. Well, I made sure to use only 1.8 blocks and kept in mind the changes in parkour between versions so it would be compatible. However, the world would completely corrupt if loaded in an earlier version (even 1.14.4) (I only corrupted an important save once!)

    After a lot of research, I found an independent free application which could convert worlds to 1.12.2 (dm me if interested). I also figured out that 1.8.9 WorldEdit only loads if I take out the newer versions of WorldEdit from my mods folder. So I converetd it to 1.12.2, fixed a few things, and just loaded the world in 1.8.9. The smaller downgrade was a flawless success, other than: 1, two heads appearing that were included in the 1.16.4 version but disappeared in 1.12.2, or 2, ocean monuments appeared in the void world. Now it all works with a 1.8.9 schematic (which it must be, newer schematics operate under a different file!)
    Here's one of the ocean monuments:

    map looks insanely fun, I love the idea of it being long and hard but with multiple checkpoints.

    If there's any one map in particular I want added from map submissions, it would be this one. Almost all of the maps on this server are exclusively good for speedrunning, and there are only 2 maps which are genuinely hard and fun to play on for unique/hard jumps. This map takes unique hard jumps to a whole different level and would be really fun to play on.

    EDIT: Just noticed a bit of an oversight. The water at 2:28 would kill you and reset you back to the last checkpoint, so water parkour isn't possible.
