5 best Minecraft 1.19 maps to play with friends

In Minecraft 1.19, players can install different kinds of custom maps to enjoy along with their friends. The game's regular world can become fairly boring once a player completes the main questline. Furthermore, people may also feel alone while playing in a single-player gamemode.

This is where unique custom maps in multiplayer worlds come into play. Players can download different Minecraft worlds that contain unique maps created by the community itself. Some of these can even be added to a server so that other players can join in and play.

5 brilliant custom maps to play with friends in Minecraft 1.19

1) Ja-Wipeout 4

One of the most fun activities in Minecraft is parkour. In this map, players will need to complete a course where they have to jump over difficult terrain as part of its challenges. Although there are many public servers that offer this game mode, fans can simply download Ja-Wipeout 4 and install it onto their own server.

This map not only features several courses, but the obstacles will move randomly, increasing the difficulty level of the parkour required. Considering that this is the fourth iteration of the map by its creator, it is far more polished and revamped.

This map offers a rather unique minigame of hide and seek. While it's not the players that need to hide or seek, a block is the main target of this game.

The hiders can take any block from the area and hide it. When the hiding time is over, the seekers enter the area and attempt to find the hidden or misplaced block there.

Even though this is a simple Skyblock-inspired map, it's a great option to play with friends.

It features custom soundtracks, NPCs that evolve as the story progresses, sidequests, custom items, and more. Essentially, it's a completely open-world adventure map that players can explore with their friends.

Unfortunately, the map's creator hasn't finished it yet, which is why players can expect to see an updated version of this map in the near future.
