The beauty of Minecraft is that you can make this game (and the game’s final objective) anything you want. And any great Minecraft adventure starts with picking a map!
What if the zombies running around the Minecraft world at night were a part of the apocalyptic epidemic? If you are a big fan of Fallout, Walking Dead, and The Last of Us - you came to the right place!
Welcome to my list of best post-apocalyptic maps where every resource is scarce, and every encounter is a potential threat.
1. Post-Apocalypse Map - The Overgrow City
The name speakers for the map - this is exactly how our civilized world would look like after an apocalypse. Big skyscrapers are toppling down, and all the roads and other structures are overtaken by nature.
- Medium size explorable island
- Beautiful architecture and nature mix
- Tranquil vibes
- There is not much to do in terms of loot or enemies, so you will have to pair this map with other mods

2. Wasted
Wasted is a big and well-crafted map. Here, the civilization as we know it (technology and skyscrapers) is long gone. The world is one big desert of dried-out oceans and scorching sun.
- Lots of loot around the map
- Filled with mutants (zombies) and raiders (skeletons)
- Boss fights
- Fighting arenas where you can always come back to fight again
- Interesting settlements and ship recks throughout the map

7. The Last of USA
This map absolutely stands out from all other apocalyptic maps.
Imagine. It’s the first 100 days after the world as we knew it collapsed. The grass is overgrowing, but the buildings are not fully taken over by forests.
All around the map, you can find:
- Abandoned cars of people trying to leave the city
- Tents set up by survivors
- Tanks and other signs of military presence
- There are zombies, loot, and quests. Enjoy!

10. That Mouse Guy’s Apocalyptic Map
This guy should be a world architect because, God, this map is beautiful! It is perfect to use as a base map for a survival server. The world ended in the mid-20th century, so everything is overgrown but still recognizable.

12. Real Call of Duty Zombie (bedrock)
This map was made for die-hard fans of the old and faithful zombie game mode in the Call of Duty franchise. The designs were thoughtfully created, mirroring the 'Town' (Black Ops II) & 'Nuketown' (Black Ops) maps.
The familiar perks/options include:

13. Fallout Shelter
This map does not provide the enemies but rather just focuses on making this bunker perfect. For the best experience (besides just logging in for an hour and just checking it out), I would recommend adding your own enemies and dangerous things “on the surface” and using this gorgeous build as a hideout.
- Contains 37 types of uniquely crafted rooms inside
- Unmistakable Fallout vibes

14. The Last of Us
This map was built relatively simply but bears an unmistakable The Last of Us mood. The rain that noisily erupts every night helps the gloomy atmosphere and can actually be used as a survival technique!
- Pretty short but has a beautiful storyline from start to finish
- Travel by night since the monsters will have trouble seeing you, and the rain will help to conceive you
