Yes that is a god apple.

Santa boss doesn't spawn

Creepers in boss room need a more powerful explosion since they cant even break a block

Strength 3 needs to be removed from brewery

Buff to santa boss fight

A little bit more difficulty for the 3rd and 4th wools

Too easy to get god apples

Thought the nausea was sufficient balance for the strength 3 potions, my bad. I do like the gold though, so I'd advise just removing the few apples around the map, replace with bread or something. But yeah, final boss fight definitely needs the most work; which is understandable since we made it ridiculously fast Perhaps drop some blast protection books earlier for the players so we can crank up the creeper blast power, since the main challenge should be the rapidly vanishing floor. Also, let's just replace the santa spawner with a command block system to make sure he appears. I think the ground level of wool #3 is fine, it's just the upper levels that could use some more mobs and variation, since right now it's just way too easy to pillar and bridge. Wool #4 could use a few more mobs in the library

Overall Comments: I began this map expecting something good. All of these awesome map makers have been making this awesome map, so it should be amazing! Right? I was half right and half wrong. The whole map worked out, I guess, as in it all kept one single theme the whole time and there wasn't any annoying trolly stuff. I liked the overall theme with the abandoned factory and detailed buildings.

Aesthetics: I loved the aesthetics of the first area. The abandoned train station and the vines and frozen ice and all the nice detail was great. There was alot of detail in the map, and it was very unique. Some areas were a bit empty. First area- the bottom was kind of bland, and the tree was so un-eroded(is that a word?) The passageway going up above the tree was very pretty. Second area- I didn't love this. Cauldrons and webs. Kind of bland imo. Not my favorite. Third area- Kind of empty at points. There weren't any visual cues pointing to the wool(but I'll talk about that later). Fourth area- The big open room was kind of bland- but when you got into the small interiors, I loved it. Pretty much, the library and the big open room were empty and bland. The dormitories were so pretty <3. Last area- I didn't love it. The fortress at the beginning was a monotone gray- pretty stereotypical build. The cave following was empty except for spawner spam. The final santa area boss fight looked cool I didn't care for the sleigh cage thing that you had to go down to find the wool. But meh. Overall- the aesthetics were neat and unique- just needed a bit less negative space.(negative? positive? idk- just less empty space)

Creativity: It was a creative map. Nice custom mobs, fancy opening sequence, neat map concept(I SAW A ZOMBIE EATING SANTA CLAUS HOLY CRAP) and yeah. It could have used a bit more oomph however. Some special concept or gimmick that helped the map at all. The blazes were just annoying and the one special concept- Santa Zombie didn't really work. But it was quite a unique map, with just a few rushed areas.

Gameplay: This is hard to comment on- because it had so much potential- but it just dragged for me. The first area was nice- crawling up a factory- with stairs somehow constructed in a tree- you knew what path to take. Loot was decent- you gave us a bit too much loot though. Too easy of an area. Also, the wool felt random- there wasn't even a path leading to the wool. Again- the bottom of the tree was useless honestly. The loot was much better following the designated path. Second area- my least favorite area. Sub-par aesthetics, annoying cobwebs, repetitive gameplay, and non-unique mobs. Honestly, it felt like you copy and pasted the same area three times and changed the loot. It wasn't difficult at all- just a waste of time. I'm sorry- just felt this area wasn't the best. Third area- I couldn't find the wool at all. There was no path going up to the wool- and no visual cue to lead you there. I eventually figured it out- but not without running around the floor of the area for a while. The mobs seemed too weak again- besides the blazes. Again- another rushed area. I feel like it's just a huge area with none of the space used. Fourth area- one of my favorite areas actually. It was a decent difficulty and you got good loot- but not overpowered loot. There was open combat, and close combat. A good mix of exterior and interior- good job. Last area- for some reason- I felt like this was lacking. I felt like you guys just wanted a hard last area, so you gave us a ton of loot to complete make the gear you previously had obsolete. You go from zombies you can one shot to super charged creepers. The mobs were all boosted by a lot- and it didn't progress fast enough. The Santa boss fight was kind of useless- I just avoided him and ran down for the wool. Also, the rainbow platforms going down to the wool were kinda useless. The cave leading to the Santa fight was also useless- just a spawner spam. Overall, the mobs and loot were executed well. However, I felt like the first 4 areas were one big area, with all the same difficulty, then the fifth area just completely increased the difficulty immensely. Needs better progression.

Overall: Above average map worth playing- with just a few kinks to work out.
