First we mine, then we craft. The first DLC pack for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Minecraft Pack, is now available.
The paid DLC, the first of six waves, adds three new racers in the form new racers, a new track, a new machine (car), and new music.
The three racers are Steve, Alex and a Creeper. The machine is predictably a minecart, and like all machines in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, can be customised. You can just use half of the cart and mix and match the front and rear body, or put on the square wheels on other machines of the same class (handling).
The track, Minecraft World, is fascinating, as it incorporates the Overworld, the Nether and the End.
Here’s the list of new Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds music added with the Minecraft Pack. None of the original C148 music is here, however. Understandably so as those aren’t something that matches the arcade kart racer’s vibe.
- Minecraft World: Intro （Arrangement of Comforting Memories）
- Minecraft World: Overworld （Arrangement of Comforting Memories, Infinite Amethyst）
- Minecraft World: Overworld: Final Lap （Arrangement of Relic）
- Minecraft World: Nether （Arrangement of Pigstep）
- Minecraft World: The End: Final Lap （Arrangement of Broken Heart of Ender）
- Comforting Memories（Original Song）
- Infinite Amethyst（Original Song）

- Relic（Original Song）
- Broken Heart of Ender（Original Song）
- Minecraft: Character Select （Arrangement of Comforting Memories）
