Cryptic Cosmos
Cryptic Cosmos is a Forge world generation mod that adds dimensions reached through rifts, along with two new mobs.
What it does
Travel to the added dimensions works through rifts. A player explores the world to find a rift spawn and enters it to reach the other dimension. Only one of the three planned dimensions is in this release, a dimension named Makrossa, which is still a work in progress although it already contains a number of building blocks and decorations.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files exist for Minecraft 1.16.4 only, and the latest Forge build is 1.16.5-1.3.16, published on 2021-05-09 on the beta channel. The mod was first published and last updated on the same day.
The author states that the mod was built for Forge and supports Minecraft 1.16.5. Lower versions are not covered by the author's support, and the author takes no responsibility for them. Support for a later Minecraft release is not yet available from the Forge Team, and the author plans an update once a compatible version of the API is released. After that update, the 1.16.x versions will no longer be supported. Other loaders, such as Fabric Rift, are not covered by the author.
