Alia
by SzokedV
Alia is a NeoForge world generation mod for 1.21.1 that adds one moon-themed dimension to explore and three new biomes.
What it does
Players travel to the new moon-themed dimension, which is reached through the mod's own portal and holds three new biomes. The dimension is the main addition, and the biomes give it terrain and surfaces that differ from the overworld. A few building blocks and plants are also included, so the new areas can be decorated and built on.
Alia is built with shader lighting in mind. Its author notes that many worlds feel flat and bland without shaders, and the author recommends Photon, Complementary and Unbound as shader packs. The mod is for players exploring new dimensions in a single-player or multiplayer world. The author states that it is made to work alongside other mods.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and the client and server both need it. Alia is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files were first published on 2025-06-24, and the latest alpha file is dated 2025-06-27.

What the author says
Future compatibility with my other mods. Mod was made with Shaders in mind, the atmosphere might feel lacking and bland without the use of them. My personal recommendations are Photon and Complementary Unbound Minecraft Shaders.
