Minecraft is an amazing game with unlimited creative potential, but what do you do when you don't feel like building a wizard's spiral, or recreating the Roman aqueduct system? The beauty if Minecraft is that the community often creates mods and maps that allow for unlimited potential if you know where to look. Maps are a dime a dozen on the Minecraft official forums, created by anyone who has taken the time to learn the ins and outs of MCEdit. So how can you pick out the true diamonds in the rough? Check out these nine maps made by community members, as they're fan favorites.
(Note: These are AdventureCraft maps. You'll need to install the AdventureCraft mod in order to play them all properly as the creator intended.)

UPDATED with five new maps.
Herobrine’s Mansion is a wonderful adventure map that sees players venturing into the depths of a gothic mansion owned by Herobrine—you know, the evil version of the regular Minecraft guy. Not unlike Dracula’s castle in the Castlevania series of games, it’s filled with angry armored skeletons and all sorts of beasties.

The Star Wars Adventure Map takes place on the icy planet of Hoth and sees players venturing into the rebel base to take on heavily armed stormtroopers, who have apparently turned the underground facility into their own outpost. Though the map itself is quite short, it offers players the choice to play between a Jedi and Trooper.

If you ever wished you could play Minecraft on an adventure map not unlike Pirates of the Caribbean or Monkey Island, this map is for you. There’s a pirate ship and all sorts of other pirate-themed things. For instance, bows are renamed muskets. True story.

Like the name suggests, it’s a giant taco, and you’re trapped in it like the family from Honey! I shrunk the kids. In this case, you’d be trapped with some honey chipotle barbecue sauce, between the vegetables and the beans.

Of the many things you can do with Minecraft, recreating the world of Fallout is definitely doable, as the Fallout Deadstate adventure map clearly proves. Like the Fallout series of games, you wake up in a vault as a man (or woman) without a memory. It’s up to you to figure out what happened, and that story remains on-going as the map’s creator continues to add more stuff to it.

As the only survivor of your shipwrecked pirate crew, it's up to you to find the legendary treasure of Captain Rainbowbeard and avenge your crew mates. This map will see you traveling through sandy beaches, mountainous terrain, all the way to a hidden Mayan style temple with traps galore. Hints along the way will help you find the treasure, but you'll need to be skillful to avoid all the traps that await you on your journey.

Fans of the roguelike genre will be at home in this adventure map, as it is similar to Tower of Ordeals but instead of starting in a tower, you start in a dungeon. There are currently four dungeons available to explore with more planned. You start with very basic gear, with several upgrades hidden in chests around the dungeons. Managing to survive all four dungeons will net you a reward at the end of the dungeon. Can you claim it?

Saldeirr is a rather simple adventure map as it is designed entirely above the surface. There are no dungeons to spelunk yet, but there are several unique monsters to fight and a town to explore. The storyline is rather basic and the town design is very linear, but the outlying areas are what makes this map unique. Exploring the forests and the coast are great fun. This map is very newbie friendly.

Of course, a list of adventure maps can't be complete without an Egyptian style tomb to spelunk. The outside of the tomb belies the depth of the creation, as once the player begins traveling below the surface of the tomb, the challenges ramp up and the amazing sights to see increase. Will you make it to the end of the tomb and find the hidden grave?

Have you ever wanted to pit yourself against a tower of hostile mobs, ready to tear you from limb to limb? This map is the perfect challenge as it's less about adventure and more about survival and determination. If you can make it to the top of the tower through all 28 floors, there is a surprise for you. Will you find it? The map includes its own dungeon hacking music, which is pretty great for cutting a path through endless swathes of skeletons and zombies.
