About this Mod
Sonicraft: Lively Zones is an addon that adds generation features to biomes from Sonicraft.
These can include:
- Small features like spikes, rings, etc.
- Loops
- Platforming areas based on those in the original games
- Trees and mountains
- Dungeons
These are added to make the biomes more interesting and varied, since I grew bored of Sonicraft due to many of them feeling like glorified plains (this was made pre-evolution update). Additionally, badniks are sped up and unused bosses are implemented.
