Not another Backrooms mod- [LIMINAL SPACES]

by henryBRM

Not another Backrooms mod- [LIMINAL SPACES] is a NeoForge mod for 26.1.2 that builds a liminal-space experience across five levels, each with its own atmosphere and hidden secrets.

What it does

The mod takes a looser approach to the Backrooms idea than most entries in the genre. Instead of repeating the usual formula, it centers on one simple idea: an unsettling place that a player is never meant to fully map. Hallways seem to lead somewhere they should not, lights hum without end, and the walls feel strangely familiar. The author describes the content as a set of five levels, each hiding its own mysteries.

Required dependencies are CTR VCR, Iris Shaders and Sodium, so all three must be installed alongside the mod. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files exist for 26.1.2 only, and the latest NeoForge build is 1.0.0, published 2026-08-11. The code is not open source; it is licensed as All rights reserved. The author states that the project is still in development, with more levels, secrets and encounters planned for future updates.

Key features

  1. Five liminal levels

    Five separate levels, each with its own atmosphere and secrets, make up the current content.

  2. Unexplained space

    Hallways and rooms lead to places that do not make sense, and the game gives no clear answers about them.

  3. Ambient sound and lighting

    Humming lights and familiar-looking walls shape the mood the mod aims for.

  4. Ongoing development

    The author plans further levels, mechanics and strange encounters in later updates.

What the author says

You were never supposed to find this place. The lights hum endlessly. The walls feel strangely familiar. And every hallway seems to lead somewhere it shouldn't.
