The Between Awakens
The Between Awakens is a Forge world generation mod that adds a large set of dimensions, biomes, structures, bosses and items to Minecraft 1.19.4 and 1.20.1.
What it does
Players who explore a world with The Between Awakens find several new dimensions, bosses, biomes, plants and structures, along with more than 600 items. The content is combat and exploration oriented, and the author describes the lore additions as optional, with a story about a world that once knew gods and was later cleansed.
The mod also revamps many vanilla biomes, structures and worldgen features, so existing terrain changes once the mod is installed. Hard difficulty affects the game more than in vanilla, and some foes gain extra abilities and stronger attacks. Milk no longer removes potion effects, and pendants clear corruption more slowly. The author notes that the mod uses built-in shaders and carries a seizure warning.
The mod is published for Forge only, across 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. Latest Forge build 2.4.8 targets 1.20.1.
Key features
New dimensions and bosses
The mod adds several dimensions and a group of bosses, with more than double the number of mobs found in vanilla.
Revamped worldgen
Vanilla biomes, structures and generation features are reworked, which changes how terrain and buildings appear in new chunks.

Reworked potions and corruption
Milk no longer removes potion effects, and pendants remove corruption more slowly than in vanilla settings.
Rewritten code base
