ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5

What it does

Players who explore the Underworld find new ores and mobs in it. Limestone Ore, Hardened Amethyst Ore and Oil Vein are the mod's new resources, and the oil vein is meant to be a common source of fuel. Herobrine is part of the storyline, and a lyre instrument is said to open the realm where he lives.

Limestone, Hardened Amethyst, Emerald and Obsidian gear is included in the mod. The author describes the Hardened Amethyst and Limestone sets as stronger than Netherite. Snowberries feed several recipes and produce a roll, a pie and a flavored drink. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Forge 1.16.5 only, with a single file dated 2022-11-18, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Storyline mobs

    Custom mobs, including Herobrine-themed ones, are placed as part of an added storyline.

  2. New ores and fuel

    Limestone Ore and Hardened Amethyst Ore are added, along with Oil Vein, a resource for fuel.

  3. Tool and armor sets

    Limestone, Hardened Amethyst, Emerald and Obsidian tools and armor are added, in place of vanilla gear for those materials.

  4. Snowberry food
