About this Modpack



The surface is a bad place. The light from the sun is very dangerous to you.
The sun used to make things grow and be healthy. Now it is like a killer from space. Something strange happened to the sun. It made the Overworld a very bad place where everything dies when the sun is out. If you stay on the surface during the day you will die quickly from the heat.
Your story does not start in a forest or a big open area. It starts in an scary place called The Undergarden. The Undergarden is under the ground. It is full of weird plants and strange animals that glow. You are not just exploring The Undergarden you are living there because it is the place you can breathe.
Key Features
You start underground: This is not like the way of playing Minecraft. You start in The Undergarden, which's a tough and confusing place. It is hard to find wood. The stone is different. The animals that live there do not want to share their home with you.
The sun is bad for you: You can still go to the surface. You have to be very careful. If you go outside during the day the sun will hurt you badly and you will die quickly.
You have to wait for night: If you want to find things on the surface you have to wait until it is dark.. Be careful because the monsters that come out at night are very hungry and want to eat you.
You can use technology and magic: The Undergarden has special things that you can use to help you survive. You can melt down metals grow plants that glow and use machines to help you.
⚠️ Be careful:
If you hear the wind blowing from a cave that leads to the surface do not go that way. The sun is very dangerous. Will hurt you if you make a mistake.
Are you ready to dig
Beneath a Dying Sun is a very different way of playing Minecraft. It is a game that is all, about surviving in a tough world. If you like games that are challenging and exciting you will like this.
Take your pickaxe be afraid of the sun and make The Undergarden your home.
I hope you enjoy it and good luck:)
