Quick Answer

Instead of a generic scavenger hunt map, you can generate one from a real place. CartoVoxel's Explorer Pack (Java, +$7.90) drops treasure check-ins at the real landmarks in your selected area, adds a teleport menu and a scoreboard, and gives everyone a spawn hub to start from — ready for friends or a stream.

Why build a scavenger hunt from a real place

Downloaded scavenger hunt maps are someone else's world. Building your own by hand means placing chests, writing commands, and wiring a scoreboard — hours of work before anyone plays.

A hunt set in a real city your friends recognise is instantly more fun, and generating it removes all the manual setup.

Your place beats a generic map

Hunting through your own town, campus, or a famous city your group knows lands far better than a random downloaded arena.

No manual chest placing

Hand-building a hunt means setting blocks and commands at every stop. The Explorer Pack places the treasure check-ins for you.

Scoring is already wired

A good hunt needs a way to track who found what. The check-in scoreboard is built in, so you just play.

Made to share

Everyone spawns in the same hub and can teleport, so friends and viewers jump straight into the race.

A treasure hunt built from your city's real landmarks

Tick the Explorer Pack and CartoVoxel finds the real landmarks in your area, then hides a treasure check-in at each one. Reach a landmark, check in, and the scoreboard updates.

Everyone starts in the spawn hub, uses the teleport book and labels to navigate, and races to check in at every landmark first. When you're done showing off, the one-click tour replays the whole route.

The hunt

Treasure check-ins at every real landmark, with a scoreboard and a shared spawn.

Because the stops are your city's actual landmarks, no two generated hunts play the same.

How to generate a scavenger hunt map

It's the normal order flow with the Explorer Pack ticked.

  1. 01

    Pick a place your group knows

    Search your town, campus, or a famous city and draw the play area. More named landmarks means more check-ins to hunt.

  2. 02

    Tick the Explorer Pack (Java)

    Choose Java Edition and add the Explorer Pack for +$7.90 to include the treasure check-ins, scoreboard, teleports, and hub.

  3. 03

    Generate and download

    CartoVoxel builds the world and the hunt layer, then sends the Java world file.

  4. 04

    Load it and race

    Open the world on Minecraft Java 1.21.1, or host it on a server or LAN, and race your friends to check in at every landmark.

Set it up

Turn your city into a treasure hunt

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the scavenger hunt work?

The Explorer Pack hides a treasure check-in at each real landmark in your area. When a player reaches a landmark and checks in, a scoreboard tracks it. Everyone starts from a shared spawn hub and can teleport between landmarks.

Can my friends play the hunt together?

Yes — it's designed for groups. Host the generated Java world on a server or LAN and everyone hunts at once, racing to check in at every landmark. It also works great on stream.

Do I have to place the treasure myself?

No. The check-ins, scoreboard, teleport menu, and spawn hub are all generated automatically from the real landmarks in your selected area. There's no manual setup.

Is it available on Bedrock?

The Explorer Pack hunt is Java Edition only, because it's built with a Java datapack. You can still generate a plain Bedrock world without the hunt layer.

What does it cost?

The base map is priced by area, and the Explorer Pack hunt layer is a +$7.90 add-on shown as a separate line at checkout.

Ready to send your friends on a hunt?

Generate the world, add the Explorer Pack, and drop everyone into a scored treasure hunt across a real city.
