SonicCraft is an adventure map which comes with 3 resource packs to be used with the map. The map and textures are based around the first four Sonic games for the Sega Mega Drive/ Sega Genesis (Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic and Knuckles). The map and resource pack have been in production since July 2011, and have since received over 175,000 downloads, and a huge amount of support (you're all great!). The general theme of the map is an adventure-style map with plenty of puzzles and parkour thrown in, as well as many unique items from the Sonic universe.
SonicCraft is currently not heavily under construction, but some new updates rebuilding the map from scratch, introducing new features and perhaps fixing compatibility issues in the older versions is set to release some time in the future, hopefully 2021.
Remember to read the README file for installation instructions. SonicCraft consists of a map and three resource packs, it's not just a map and it's not just a set of resource packs. You may use the resource packs whenever you want, but if you make your own Sonic map I'd prefer if you made your own resource pack - these packs are designed for SonicCraft and I'm not a huge fan of people using my work without recognition (though obviously a lot of credit has to go to those that worked hard on the original games).
I would greatly appreciate it if reported any bugs that you find in the map.

What we liked.
1. The design of all of the areas was excellent and the dungeons were brutal enough to be fun.
2. The lands became harder and harder as we played through then, but that was amazing. In ascending difficulty we found...
3. The Items and textures were pretty amazing, and we spent more than half our time fighting over who would get their favorite weapons. (We eventually decided to assign strife specibi (Sounds dumb but it worked)
4. The scope of the map was incredible and we got lost a lot... I think I ended up using a Dynmap to find the last couple denizen lairs. (We walked past Typheus' over and over again for almost 2 hours before I turned up my render distance and saw it... 8:|)
5. The ending was worth it. All of it. (Plus the bosses were amazing.) Though we had to cheat in some of the boss drops because one or two of them didn't spawn/died over a pit/were glitched in the version we were using.
6. The plot.
There were a couple of things we didn't like.... Not many though.
1. One of my co-op buddies had a fit because you didn't have the kitchen in Johns house. O_O
2. Some of the Dungeons are a NIGHTMARE to find... (But only in LoWaS)
3. While were at it, LoWaS annoyed my friend for some reason.
Warning: The following criticisms have plot spoilers. Read at your own risk.
5. We had to hack in
6. The black king just respawns forever, and it's nearly impossible to kill him without knocking him into the void.
All in all we really loved the map, and the idea of an "Alpha" Version would be amazing! also, am considering replaying the map with some other people to post on youtube... if we decide to, I'll put up a link!
