What it does

Players can explore an abandoned dimension, once used to banish criminals and since forgotten, and uncover its secrets. Throughout the dimension the mod places several new decorative blocks, among them two new wood types, Hopewood in gold and Cinder in ash-gray, and an indigo crystal modeled on amethyst. Stone and deepslate counterparts appear as Tearstone and Dense Tearstone, and a dark-gray mineral is also found there.

Further blocks include Luminous Loam, a glowing gray dirt that gives two grass-like variants, one gold-colored called Raysia and one purple called Serenochloa, and a mud-brick type. A smooth white mineral comes in several patterned forms, including a spiral pillar and a gilded version. A purple-ish cotton block grows as a crop and can be made into carpet, and sand appears in a standard variant and a blood-orange one. Obsidian bricks are crafted from Obsidian Shards, which are also used for tools and armor.

Some of these resources and equipment are made at a new Alchemy Table. The table produces new ores such as Antimony, Bismuth, Lead, Sulfur and Shatter, Alchemical Gold for upgrading gold equipment, and basic fire and poison bombs that detonate, set fire to or poison creatures within a set radius. It also produces a dye with 100 uses and a simple single-shot pistol. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its Forge files cover 1.20.1 only.
