IMPORTANT: version 2.0.0s is in active development and the FIRST ALPHA has been released on Modrinth. If you think the dimension is currently lacking in content, or just want to give feedback on the next update, please join our Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/GDNRd5yvxa. The new update branch (Spruce), planned initially for Fabric 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, will add actual progression to the dimension and expand the amount of biomes and entities.

About

Deeper and Darker is a mod that aims to enhance the Deep Dark in Minecraft. It adds many new features related to the Deep Dark and a new dimension called the Otherside.

Content

Deeper and Darker adds an entire new dimension — the Otherside — with much content to explore. Here's a list with some of the features!

  • Biomes: explore the deeplands, echoing forest, overcast columns, and blooming caverns.
  • Structure: find an ancient temple, the home of the warden! Just be cautious when breaking the ancient vases to avoid awakening an ancient lurker.
  • Blocks: over a hundred new blocks to build, including gloomslate, sculk stone, and a new wood type!
  • Items: a brand-new warden set of armor and tools, an upgrade to elytra and the awesome sculk transmitter!
  • Mobs: 8 new mobs, including a miniboss!

To enter the Otherside, kill the warden and use its heart. Play the mod to find more content and explore hidden mysteries!

Translations

We hope to make Deeper and Darker available for everyone, everywhere. This is done with the help of the community! You can help translate the mod into your language by visiting our Crowdin page!

First alpha of Deeper and Darker 2.0.0s. Note: VERY INCOMPLETE version, most sound effects are still missing and music will be present in the full 2.0.0s release. REUPLOAD: sorry for the previous version not working!

  • Lead ore: a simple implementation of lead ore which allows you to make lead armor and tools.
  • Sculk berry sprout, sculk berry, and echo farmland: sculk berry sprout can be planted on echo farmland to grow a sculk berry. A very simple crop implementation for the deep dark, more crops may come in the future.
  • Acid floes biome: a biome with an acid ocean or acid seams where the terrain is formed by floes made out of sculk basalt. The enemy found in the biome is the acid sprite, which, upon falling in acid, turns into a bubblox, an innocuous bubble that floats up and pops. Acid sprites drop an item called "fizz," which is a green fire-like crystal-like material which has various uses.
  • Sculk spruce forest: a snowy forest biome with sculk spruce trees. Looks very similar to a taiga, spawns endermen. It also has huge spikes of blocks of shadow crystal, which makes it look very hostile. Note: currently appears to have a bug where too many endermen spawn.
  • Castle: a structure from the sculk spruce forest which looks old on purpose, very liminal and contains the royal scepter, the dainty key, and the guardian upgrade smithing template. May be changed in the future, but the core inspiration is the Legacy Console castle.
  • Bloomaze: a maze structure locked with small keyholes, unlocked with a dainty key. Has a boss. Partially implemented.
  • Gloomaze: a maze structure locked with large keyholes, unlocked with a keybrand. Has a boss. Partially implemented.
  • Darklands: a biome opened to the void formed by tentacles made out of the "sculk tissue" block. This biome has various dark fountains which shine a dark beam into the sky, which deals damage and great knockback, and the dark fountain source block can be mined to get a shadow crystal, which is used to craft sunglasses, a decorative item, but will get more uses before the full release.
  • Soul of corruption: The soul of corruption can be crafted with a fizzy potion to create a potion of corruption. This potion turns regular mobs into sculk mobs. For mobs which cannot be converted and the player, it'll inflict the Darkness status effect and damage them. But this potion serves a more interesting purpose.
  • Potion of purity: you can throw on sculk mobs to revert them to normal variants.
  • Dead Man’s Chest: reinvokes items which despawned. May be improved before the full version to reduce clutter.
  • Sculk torches, campfires, lanterns: crafted with a sculk bone shard.
  • Sculk bone shard: can be sheared from the warden to craft an Otherside fire striker, the new way to enter the dimension. Now the warden no longer has to be killed, only stealthily sheared.
  • Mini structures: villager camps, watchtowers, just overall structures to enhance the environment.
  • Lush deeplands: a deeplands variation with sculk grass and tall sculk grass.

  • Overseer/Overcaster: two bosses currently not available and in development.
A minor update for v1.4. This update fixes a server crash for improperly generated Crystallized Amber blocks.

A new update after a long time! This update brings many Otherside improvements along with new blocks, items, effects, and enchantments. Some key new features include Dyeable Sculk Transmitters, an Ancient Compass to point to Ancient Temples, an improved way of obtaining Resonarium armor and tools, and new enchantments for the Soronous Staff. Sculk Transmitters have received a major update; they are now able to link to other modded containers and are no longer limited to just vanilla storage blocks. There are more blocks that have been added for more decoration and functionality, such as the new Lite block, which emits light and can be crafted into other light-emitting blocks with unique textures.

The Otherside dimension has gone through a full overhaul, with much more open spaces, uniform biome distribution, and improved natural features. Changes have been made to how a new Otherside portal is generated when traveling between dimensions, which should result in more exposed spawns rather than spawning in some cramped location. A transition screen has also been added to be shown when traveling between the Otherside and the Overworld, similar to the transition screen shown when traveling to and from the Nether.

This version is identical to Release Candidate 2 of 1.3.3-plus-b.

Introducing the Blooming Caverns! This update contains Bloom-related wood and blocks along with a new fish: the Angler Fish. These can be found in the new biome found in the Otherside called the Blooming Caverns. Additionally, Crystallized Ambers can now generate with loot inside them! A lot of issues related to Sculk Transmitters were also fixed.

This version requires owo-lib instead of YetAnotherConfigLib. We also added descriptions for our enchantments and the ability to translate biome names.
