I've seen the whole map in action twice. I don't need to see it again. It's little more than a ridiculous amount of mobs to the point of bridging, peaceful, or not moving.
I really really hate using this argument, but I think this map is just too difficult for you-- which is totally fine. If you watch TJ the Obscure's playthrough, he gets through the map blind with like 3 deaths and none of the struggle that you're describing. If I actually felt like the map was as insanely difficult as you're describing then I'd obviously agree with you. I just don't personally see it, which I guess makes sense since I created it lol.
You’re exaggerating. Of course you kill things, just not everything. Also the combat is significantly different between the two versions.
And there’s no jump boosted enemies! You should try the area at least before judging it man! If you wanna see a good run through of it you can check it out on my channel, cause I don’t think you’ve really seen it in action!
Sorry you didn’t like it, but these sound like a lot of personal preference problems rather than actual problems with the map.
I think people are giving block world a really bad rep; it’s actually really really fun if you give it a chance! It’s definitely simple in design, but the constant frenzy of using the speed and jump boost spawned to avoid the ghasts is really intense.
As with the amount of spawners, it’s much easier to play this map with the goal in mind of avoiding rather than pacifying. It’s much harder when you try to kill everything rather than trying to simply avoid mobs.
Also, you played it in the wrong version and played areas in peaceful mode! However, you’re definitely right about the aesthetics, we just kinda suck at building— which is why areas like Block World and The Path exist. They’re areas that are very technically challenging with very simple aesthetic design.
It’s true though, this is definitely a map that I think me and my friend find more fun than anyone else lol. We set out to create a really technically challenging map that was fun for us to play, and in the process I think we alienated a big part of the CTM audience. Something to learn from if we ever make another map.
First off, this comment isn't constructive criticism and is pretty useless. Plus your statement of 'bland areas' and 'complaints about the late monument', while may be valid complaints, it doesn't define the map as 'bad'. If you want to play a bad CTM map, have a go at making your own, before making an account to shun people who try.
Secondly, the map overall isn't bad. While the builds aren't refined and a lot of areas have boxy or redundant design choices, fundamentally, the map is pretty good. The monument being late is NOT a bad thing, as it adds an aspect to the map in making sure that not only are you getting out of the areas with the wools, but you are also transporting them safely between intersections. As a very first CTM map, I'm excited that they finished a 16-wool map complete with genuine challenge.
Thanks man! I appreciate that you can recognize both the things we did wrong and the things we got right. In the end, we're not experts at making beautiful builds but I think we made an experience that's both fun and challenging. Means a lot to hear some positive feedback!

my friend makes a LAN server. my other friend can join, but i cant. We are all using the same connection, and i have already checked my firewall. I checked my cmd for my ipv4 address and it is the same as theirs axcept for the last two digits. When i try to join, it gives me this error code: java.net.ConnectionException: Connection refused: no further information: So I have no idea what the problem is. Plz Halp. I can wait.
