Kinda Indev Hell

by asapacey2

Kinda Indev Hell changes the overworld into a permanent dark red world of lava lakes, lava-flooded caves and hostile mobs that spawn everywhere.

What it does

The mod rebuilds the overworld generation with a deliberate tone borrowed from the early Indev Hell map: perpetual darkness, a gritty crimson sky, and lava that fills lakes, oceans and rivers. Caves can be flooded with lava, and diamonds are hard to come by. Structures are affected by the new generation as well, so familiar landmarks appear in unfamiliar places.

Sky colors, fog and the sun and moon are tinted dark red through dimension types and timelines, and ambient lighting is significantly lowered. Rain and snow still occur, and hostile mobs can spawn in many more places, including during lightning. Biomes are mostly untouched, with a few odd sky and pale garden surface cave variants. Server owners should know the mod is incompatible with most datapacks that change noise settings, dimension types or the overworld, which affects nearly every world.

The server must run the mod to generate this world, while players may add it to their client for the matching sky and fog colors, so the client side is optional. Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 applies, and the mod is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt as a data pack for 26.1 – 26.3, with 26.3 as the latest version.

Key features

  1. Lava-filled overworld

    Lava forms large lakes, oceans and rivers, and caves can be flooded with lava, changing how exploration works.

  2. Perpetual darkness

    Ambient light is significantly lowered, and the sky stays dark red, creating a constant gloomy atmosphere.

  3. Hostile mob spawning

    Hostile mobs spawn across the surface and lightning can summon more of them, so travel is never safe.

  4. Reworked sky and fog

    Fog, the sun, the moon and the sky are tinted dark red through dimension types and timelines.

How it compares

Full comparison

Kinda Indev Hell is a data pack for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 26.1 – 26.3, where the server runs it and players may add it. TimeVersa: Travel Between Versions is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that both sides must run, under All rights reserved. YUNG's Better Caves is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and runs on the server alone, so it suits caves without changing the whole overworld.
