Safety is Nowhere
Safety is Nowhere is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that turns the ordinary survival loop into a harder run, with a progression built around a Dimension Transmitter and the Nether portal.
What it does
Players start in an ordinary survival world, but the mod adds new content that makes everyday play harder. Game difficulty climbs over time, and the world itself becomes corrupted, with abnormalities that hint at where the danger comes from. Some rules are changed on purpose, so the player has to survive long enough before a late mistake ends the run.
Progression is gated. The Overworld, Nether and End are the only dimensions open at the start, and entering each one follows the mod's own path. Vanilla beds and furnaces are disabled, so players use the modded alternatives instead. The stated goal is to craft a Nether portal from a Dimension Transmitter.
Geckolib and Pehkui are required, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional but useful for working out what each recipe needs. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Harder survival
Difficulty increases the longer a world is played, and the mod describes its own unfairness as intentional.
Corrupted world
The world takes on corrupted areas where abnormalities can be investigated to find their source.
Gated dimensions
Only the Overworld, Nether and End are open at first, and access to them follows a set progression.
Modded replacements
Vanilla beds and furnaces are disabled, and players use modded versions in their place.
