I made some Minecrafty-looking skymaps - they're a tad chunky (in a bad way), one has a pretty bad defect in one small section of it (just rotate it out of view), but I like them for some purposes. Find them here. Here's an example: http://www.realtimerendering.com/erich/minecraft/public/chunky/CompassTower3.png

You don't have to buy them. You can just download the images.
Much smaller samples of the images
