Escape the Backrooms
by DaBlubcat
Escape the Backrooms is a Fabric world generation mod that adds five levels of the Backrooms, each with its own layout and rules, for players who explore unfamiliar spaces.
What it does
The mod adds a set of Backrooms levels to the game. Level 0 is the Lobby, which is finished. Level 1, the Habitable Zone, and Level 2, Pipe Dreams, were both added in version 0.8.0. Level 37, Sublimity, is described by the author as in early development, with only preview images published so far. The author says future updates will add more levels.
Because the mod generates world content, its levels appear as the player moves through the Backrooms. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 for Fabric only, with 11 release versions and 0.1.6 for 1.21.11 as the latest file on the beta channel, first published on 2026-01-27 and last updated on 2026-06-05. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
