2D World
by ZAurel360
2D World restricts the playable world to a narrow corridor about five blocks wide, so horizontal movement is limited to a single line of travel.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, the world is compressed along its width while length stays open, so terrain stretches far in one direction and closes in on the other. Each step covers a narrow strip of ground, and choices on the path carry more weight than in an ordinary open world. The mod is built for Forge and is published for game versions 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, with the latest file, 3.5, dated 2024-04-06.
The mod runs on client and server, so a server and every player connecting to it need the mod installed. Its author, ZAurel360, lists it under Game mechanics, with Adventure and World generation as secondary categories. The author text describes an administrator role that lets a server owner watch the corridor from a wider view than the players have. The project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Narrow corridor world
Terrain is compressed to a corridor about five blocks wide, with length left open for travel.
Single-line travel
Movement along the narrow axis is limited, so each route through the world becomes a deliberate choice.
Wider admin view
Server administrators get a broader view of the world than players, so they can follow the corridor from above the players.
Forge builds for two versions
Files exist for 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, with 3.5 as the latest Forge build for 1.18.2.

Use cases
Adventure and challenge maps
The narrow layout suits maps that build around single-lane routes and forced decisions along a path.
Multiplayer servers with an admin role
A server owner can watch players moving along the corridor from a wider view while they explore.
Who it’s for: Players who want a constrained exploration experience, and server owners running a shared world where one administrator should see more of the terrain than the players do.

What the author says
Welcome to the astonishingly narrow world of the 2D World Mod! In this pixelated realm, horizons stretch infinitely in length but cruelly shrink in width. Picture yourself navigating a corridor only 5 blocks wide. It's as if reality itself has been compressed into a finer dimension, where every step matters and every…
