Near and Far (SCRAPPED)
by Moth500
Near and Far (SCRAPPED) is a Forge world generation mod that adds two dimensions, though only one of them, Nearlands, was implemented before development stopped.
What it does
Near and Far (SCRAPPED) was made by Moth500 for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is scrapped, so it will not receive new updates. Its only published files target Forge, and the author shared it with playtesters rather than as a finished release. TerraBlender is required, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod installed.
Nearlands is the implemented dimension. It contains three biomes: fungal fields, subtropical forest and orange cherry grove. Large orange mushrooms and darkwood trees grow there, and moth-like creatures called sporelings make their home in it, living in a symbiotic relationship with the fungi. The author notes that the Nearlands Barrens were planned but not implemented.
The mod is still in alpha, with some textures and features missing. Its Nearlands entry point is reached through a recipe that uses moonstone and stone bricks to craft a divine altar. Moonstones were planned to be found in asteroids across the Overworld, and orange mushrooms can be bred with the sporelings, but neither of those parts is implemented yet.
