Skylands is a custom tailored world for the Alpha version of Minecraft, a game of exploration and building in a virtually never ending procedurally generated world.
Skylands seems like a custom map-pack for Minecraft: a tailor built world for you to explore.
They have the Skylands Overview Map browsable online (just like a google map).
I explored this the other day, and I must say, it is amazing. Outstanding. Ridiculously awesome. Highly recommended.
I only got halfway through the “elevated forest” before taking a mis-step and plunging miles through the air to my death!! I will have to try another route :)
