CAWEZ'S Mantle to Stratus
CAWEZ'S Mantle to Stratus expands the vertical Minecraft world by adding six new dimensions, three above the build limit and three below bedrock.
What it does
Travel between the new dimensions happens by building past y=320 or digging down to y=-64. Bedrock is replaced with obsidian, and the Nether and End sit between the added layers, so the standard progression is reshaped and the mod plays differently from vanilla. Nether portals are recommended to be disabled.
The mod adds 15 new biomes with their own resources, and its main aim is to replace farming with exploration. Encountered mobs and ores provide materials for iron and diamond tier tools and gear. Three bosses with unique mechanics wait after the dimensions are conquered, and they serve as an extra challenge for players who want one. The mod is compatible with Immersive Portals and its dimension stack, and a config file supports modpack integration.
It runs on Forge and NeoForge, and the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with Forge 1.3.2 for 1.20.1 and NeoForge 2.0.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest builds. The code is published, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
