What does Shadowlands add?
Please play the 1.20.1 version, not the several years outdated 1.16/15 versions 😭
Shadowlands is a mod which adds 4 new dimensions, each with biomes and dungeons, there's loads to explore! If 4 dimensions isn't enough consider trying Realms of Redemption as well! https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/realms-of-redemption
Shadow Forest: Gloomy, dark, shadowy dimension filled with evil spirits, and landing zones for the mysterious Doom Stars
Glowshroom Forest: Forest of glowing mushrooms, with overgrown jungles and creeper forests mixed in, ruled over by a living mushroom wizard
Vellium: Bright, sunny pastel forest, fairly peaceful looking... besides the mobs
Blood Forest: If the nether is hell then this is Extra Hell - filled with spikes, chains and saws, with huge castles dominating the landscape
