This map contains examples of:
- Build Like an Egyptian: Celestial Wasteland contains two pyramids plus a huge creeper sphinx made of mossy cobblestone.
- Continuing is Painful: Even moreso than in vanilla Minecraft — the easiest way to die is to fall off the Floating Continents, and if that happens, you have no way of retrieving your items.
- Lethal Lava Land: Helldamn Islands has flowing lava falls that cascade off the islands.
- Ruins for Ruins' Sake: Celestial Wasteland contains a ruined city that has very little in it.
- Shifting Sand Land: Celestial Wasteland is a desert level complete with Ruins for Ruins' Sake.
- World in the Sky: The map is made up entirely of floating islands.
