Garden of Eden
by Apostasy
Garden of Eden adds eldritch horrors to a Minecraft world whose time has been frozen long past, centered on a rift in the sky.
What it does
Primarily, Garden of Eden adds the Rift, a large rotating entity that hangs in the sky above the world. The mod is built around it, and its mysteries and lies are meant to be uncovered over time rather than explained at once. Stepping too close to the Rift causes a chain to pull the player down unless a friend releases them, so players are expected to play it with others nearby.
The mod adds a command set under the rift command. Its author describes it as designed for one SMP and updated for that server, so it suits a shared survival world more than a general-purpose content pack. Garden of Eden runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with public-r1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its required dependencies are listed in the FAQ below.

What the author says
Primarily, GoE adds the Rift, a large rotating entity in the sky above your world. Stepping too close will chain you down, unless a friend can release you. Maybe more lies in the mysteries of the Rift. It's up to you to find out.
