Alex's Progression: Over the Top!
by Alex2739
Alex's Progression: Over the Top! reworks ore generation and adds more mining and tool tiers, along with new biomes and dimensions, for Fabric.
What it does
The mod aims to improve Minecraft's progression. It adds more mining tiers and changes ore generation, so copper becomes rarer and iron appears only below deepslate. New biomes are added to the End, and a moving pale garden is part of the planned content.
Three new dimensions are included: a Void dimension below bedrock, an Aether dimension modeled loosely on the Aether mod and kept closer to vanilla, and an Abyss dimension with sculk. Additional tool tiers include enderite, obsidian and soul steel. Mod Menu is an optional dependency that adds a settings screen when installed.
Builds target 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, with version 0.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under a custom license and is not open source, though the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features

Void and Abyss dimensions
A Void dimension sits below bedrock and an Abyss dimension features sculk, both reachable as new areas to explore.
New End biomes

Who it’s for: Players who want a longer progression with more tool tiers and dimensions, and server owners who want changed ore generation. The mod is for Fabric only.
