Sra sits upon the ruins of srentiln's first map simply titled "sren_maze", which had also made it into the hardcore set. The use of the natural cave system and devious hidden pathways that forced players to go against minecraft common sense impressed the maze admin of the time. While deemed worthy at the time, it wasn't long before course runners started finding exploits to bypass just about everything. After weeks spent like a coder debugging poorly written code, srentiln requested his course be removed from the hardcore set and focused on building Savern. | Sra sits upon the ruins of srentiln's first map simply titled "sren_maze", which had also made it into the hardcore set.

Sra's continued construction allows for the testing of new ideas in a course that is in use rather than in a course that has never been tested before. This grants a unique advantage in comparing course techniques on the fly to get the best feel for the actual difficulty of the concept. It has additionally allowed for the development of new circuits specifically for maze mechanisms. | Sra's continued construction allows for the testing of new ideas in a course that is in use rather than in a course that has never been tested before.

While Sra is a difficult course and has earned the prestige of being included in the Hardcore maze set, it has only gained an orange wool rating. While this still places it as a more difficult course, it pales in comparison to the red wool rating of Shri tra Savern. When asked what could be done to improve this rating, yeroc424 replied that it was the short length of the individual sections that held the course back the most. | While Sra is a difficult course and has earned the prestige of being included in the Hardcore maze set, it has only gained an orange wool rating.

While jokingly deemed a course that will never be completed, Sra is closing in upon the completion of its final branch additions. The goal of a red wool rating will continue to drive course improvement. Each individual section of the course will be taken and reworked to improve its length and challenge. | While jokingly deemed a course that will never be completed, Sra is closing in upon the completion of its final branch additions.

Another work for the course planned for the future is to make a copy that does not award maze points. This version of the course will be fully open choice so that anyone who wishes to experience the paths they did not get sent down. Since it is planed for this course copy to not award points, it will likely be a blue+ only course. | Another work for the course planned for the future is to make a copy that does not award maze points.
