toxic air
by Foxardo
Toxic Air is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.18.2 in which the air below a set height slowly harms the player, so survival requires digging deep or staying near the surface.
What it does
Toxic Air changes the air underground: below Y 62, at sea level, the player takes damage over time unless protected. The design asks players to stay above that line in daylight or dig into the terrain and learn how to survive the deep dark. The mod is built for a survival playthrough and was made for a roleplay server run by its author's friends.
The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it needs it, and servers do not. Files are published for Forge only, with one build for 1.18.2: 1.0.0, released on 2023-06-14 on the beta channel. The code is under All rights reserved, which means the mod is not open source and has no public source repository on the Modrinth page.
