The Middle Realm
by CMWTried
The Middle Realm adds a dimension that sits between the Overworld and the Nether, entered through a gateway that a player can open after obtaining a specific gem.
What it does
Above the Nether and below the surface, the Middle Realm dimension lies between the Overworld and the Nether. Its terrain is assembled from biomes including the ones listed in the author's notes, and rare structures such as Ruined Portals appear there with rarities matched to their Overworld versions. Players must first obtain the Gem of Neutrality before the gateway into the dimension works. The mod runs on a server only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge 1.20.1 under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
