The Underworld
In The Underworld, players who die or travel far from home can reach a dimension of souls, bad puppers and godly priests, added by the Forge mod.
What it does
The Underworld is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a separate dimension with its own portal, mobs, priests and weapons. Souls gather there after death, and the mod builds its portals from soul sand, the way the Nether is entered. Escape from the dimension requires defeating the Bad Pupper and crafting an Orb of Resurrection from four components at a crafting table. Right clicking the orb sends the player back to the overworld at the coordinates where it was used.
Priests are summoned at an enchanting table and can sell the items needed to build a portal, while godly priest villagers trade the God Weapons. A beacon acts as a work table in the mod. Defeating the Bad Pupper, a giant evil chihuahua, is the final goal, after which a Holy Doggo respawns. The mod draws its setting and creatures from several ancient pantheons.
The Underworld runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest build is 1.1.4. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
