Tools
MCEdit is one of the main third party tools you will use when making a Minecraft map. You can go into your worlds, and edit it to your liking, and on a very large scale.
If you are looking to edit items, entities, and other things in your map, you will need an NBT editor. NBT Explorer will work for all .jars, including snapshots.
A starter-friendly map making tool is Single Player Commands. SPC is an in-game mod that adds hundreds of commands. WorldEdit is a tool that comes with it, which lets you edit your map on a larger scale, in-game.
Another beginner in game mod is Too Many Items. It has a great in-game interface and it allows you to create custom potions, custom enchanted tools, and many other things.
Not only will you need to know how to create maps with these mods, you will need to know many vanilla minecraft aspects as well. From maps like an adventure map to a vanilla PvP map, you will need to have a basic understanding of redstone and command blocks. Here are a few good links on learning redstone:

Types of Custom Maps
There are many types of custom maps. All types are made differently, and with different tools.
Complete The Monument
In a Complete The Monument map, also known as CTM, the objective is to, simply, complete a monument. This game type was created by Vechs, who is still making what are considered to be some of the best CTM maps. In a CTM map, there are 'pieces' of a monument around the map, guarded by whatever the creator put there. In many maps, those 'pieces' are all of the different wools. There are not many guidelines to a CTM map, because you are in survival mode, and there are few rules to abide by.
Tools You Will Likely Need
- An NBT editor, such as NBT Explorer, which will probably be used for custom mobs/spawners/items.
- A terrain editor is key for CTM maps. The terrain is what makes a CTM map a good one. A good thrid-party tool is MCEdit, and a good in-game beginner tool is World Edit, which comes with Single Player Commands.
Examples
Good Old Adventure Map
In an adventure map, you can do whatever you'd like to the player. You can make the objective whatever you'd like, whether it is to defeat a boss, or multiple bosses, or to traverse beautiful terrain, collecting supplies for a final battle. Also in a typical adventure map, there is a story line, that you can develop with books, signs, /say commands, etc.
Tools You Will Likely Need
- An NBT editor, like NBT Explorer. This will be used to make custom items, custom spawners, and custom mobs.
- MCEdit or World Edit (SPC), for terrain editing.
Examples
PvP - Survival
In a survival PvP map, the player is in survival mode, and can destroy and place blocks. Usually in a survival PvP map, there are few rules. The teams can do whatever they need to complete the objective. Now, some objectives in a survival PvP maps are things like destroying something in the other team's territory, or a flag to capture and return to their own base. Usually some supplies will be given, such as wood and maybe some iron, for the players to harvest and make into armor and tools before going into battle. Also, these types of maps are typically controlled with command blocks and redstone.
Tools You Will Likely Need
- A good understanding of redstone and command blocks.
- MCEdit or NBT Explorer to color command blocks for announcements, create custom items, or color armor.
Examples
PvP - Adventure
In an adventure mode PvP map, the players are not able to break or place blocks. Usually these maps have very specific objectives, like capturing flags, earning a certain amount of kills, or capturing capture-points. These maps have command blocks announcing what is happening in the game, like the score between the two teams, or the capture of a flag or point. You need to take a few things into consideration when making a PvP map. Will there be classes? How many teams will there be? What will the players need to do in order to win?
Tools You Will Likely Need
- A very good understanding of redstone and command blocks. The amount of redstone and command blocks needed vary depending on classes/objectives.
- MCEdit to color armor, color command blocks, and create infinite dispensers.
Examples
Parkour
A parkour map is a custom map where the player must jump, sprint, and platform through a course or terrain. Typically it is in peaceful mode, where the player doesn't have to fight mobs, or worry about hunger. Also, if you're looking to make one of these maps, it would be suggested to have many different levels, with varying difficulty. Do not make impossible jumps, and have the next place to go to clearly marked as so. Have your difficulties marked as well. If the parkour was very hard when you tested it, have it labeled as a difficult course.

How To Make A Minecraft Adventure Map
- Parkour maps are typically built by hand, but if you want the player to travel through terrain, MCEdit could help you there.
- For smaller terrain edits in-game, World Edit is the tool to use
