The document discusses a panel on custom map making in Minecraft. It provides an overview of the panelists and their experience creating maps that have been downloaded millions of times and used in various media. The panelists will discuss the tools and websites they use, how to add custom items to a map, what it means to be a map maker, and how successful maps require feedback, teamwork, and input from multiple disciplines. They will also discuss command blocks and why they continue creating maps. Two panelists focusing on education will discuss how they create maps to demonstrate curriculum topics and that anything is possible as long as you are willing to compromise and figure out difficult challenges.
