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.

Features

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!
