| [{{ :map:outlands_mapping_project.png?direct&200| The Outlands surrounding portal 1.}}] | |
| | |
| The Outlands are the vast, disconnected regions of The End, kept separate from the central island, as though hiding behind it's guardian dragon. The dragon has already been destroyed once, and the first gateway to the Outlands has been opened. The path before you has been prepared... somewhat. | |
| | |
| [[:RigilG|Rigil Gearwerks]] and [[:ManaLocke]], and later [[:ch1b1|Chibi]], have been mapping the outlands. There was already a FARP just inside The End, at the end of bridge from the obsidian platform to the endstone island. One gate has been opened so far. The map as it stands has been posted inside a second FARP just past this portal. Great regions still remain unexplored, darkend by the fog of war. Great treasures lie there, waiting to be claimed. | |
| | |
| The Outlands are made of large chunks of endstone, much like the central island of The End, only marginally connected. Some explorers have likened the overall appearance to a sort of inverted Swiss Cheese. A number of people have posited that the Outlands is **made of** inverted Swiss cheese. That number is zero. | |
| | |
| ==== Exploring ==== | |
| | |
| Getting through the EnderGate requires an Ender pearl. The raw materials for these are of course milling about the end, aimlessly, but several pearls are kept in the FARP in The End, near the entrance. To use the EnderGate, climb the tower, and stand so that the starry void is at eye level, then throw the pearl through. You should almost immediately teleport to on top of the corresponding gate in the Outlands. Returning requires another ender pearl, but don't worry, spare pearls are also kept inside the FARP nearby. | |

| | |
| Once at the Outlands, **please do not take any map off the wall to bring with you.** If you wish to explore, it is recommended to bring a copy of a map, rather than the original. Navigating the dimension requires stocks of food to endure the endless expanses of barren stone, and great courage to brave the chasms of the void. It is recommended to bring bridge-building supplies. Endstone and sandstone are well-suited; cobblestone works, but does not show up on the map (it blends with the void). Netherrack and dirt are at risk of going AWOL via passing endermen. Bridges three blocks wide will show up on the maps. Diagonal bridges appear more visibly. | |

| ==== Adding a Map ==== | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Once you've reached an area off the maps, it's easy to fix that. You'll need: | |
| *an empty map | |
| *16 pieces of paper | |
| *a workbench | |
| | |
| Once you've stepped a few meters off an existing map, activate the blank map (place it in the hot-bar, and right-click with it active). It should immediately fill up with the local surroundings. Next, drop the workbench, and expand the map with a ring of paper twice. This will expand the map to level-2 scaling (1:4). Any map at this scaling will align with ones on the maproom wall. | |
| | |
| ==== Markers ==== | |
| | |
| Netherrack towers have been placed in certain locations within the Outlands. At the base of these is another block, pointing to another marker. Following these will lead you back to the FARP. | |
