This mod is especially exciting because it adds a whole new dimension to the game! The original Minecraft game is fantastic by itself, but having only one other alternate dimension to go to can get a bit boring.

This new dimension has no sunlight and absolutely no mercy, don’t download this mod unless you’re a hardcore Minecraft player!
