3''Asteroid 5251'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' adventure map.
4
5You are an astronaut whose rocketship crash-lands on a barren asteroid in the middle of space-nowhere. Some exploration reveals that the asteroid is far from empty -- it's full of the ruins of a civilization of people who mysteriously died out after some cataclysm. This one is notable for being an adventure map that's heavy on plot.
