The Upside Down
by DarkLotus781
With The Upside Down installed, a dark dimension opens beyond a portal built from Blood Stone and a chicken as the sacrifice.
What it does
The Upside Down is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds a dark dimension reached through a portal. The dimension is modeled on the Hunting Dimension that the Darkhax mods introduced, with eternal darkness, mobs that are tougher than their vanilla versions and their own loot. The portal is built from 14 blocks of light and a chicken placed on the frame, after which the blood stone sacrifice activates it.
Mobs in the dimension have double health, resist knockback and can spawn anywhere in the world. Armored and enchanted weapons they carry drop twice the vanilla loot, and the optional Reliquary integration can disable mob drops or add its own loot tables. Time spent there adds a difficulty complication, so the dimension grows harder the longer a player stays. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and Simple Burnout Torch must be installed alongside it as a required dependency.
