The After
The After adds a Forge dimension themed on an afterlife, with liminal, calm and subtly unsettling surroundings for players to explore.
What it does
A new dimension sits between the familiar world and an afterlife-like space. Its four biomes and single mob give it a quiet, empty feel, and three events occur there. Three structures generate in the dimension, and two of them share an identical design while the third appears only in other dimensions. One structure is known to be used as an exit, and it has been found roughly near 0 0 in some builds, though later updates may have changed that.
The mod also adds a Cartographer trade to the Wandering Trader. Geckolib is required, so it must be installed on the same side as The After. The mod runs on the client and the server together, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, the latest being 0.1.2, released on 2025-08-19 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
