Cryptic Cosmos
A Minecraft mod full of horrors and wonders from near and far
About this Mod
Cryptic Cosmos
Cryptic Cosmos is a Minecraft mod (1.16.5, 1.17 support planned) focused on exploring dimensions and discovering new biomes, blocks and creatures.
There are 3 planned dimensions, but currently are only working on one - The Makrossa dimension. The Makrossa dimension is still very WIP, but it already has a lot of building blocks and decoration. There are 2 new mobs so far, with more to come!
To travel to the dimensions, use /rift @p, or find a rift (which will spawn around you as you explore). Enjoy!

Disclaimer
This mod supports Minecraft version 1.16.5. All versions lower are not guaranteed to work, and we do not bear the responsibility to support them.
Minecraft 1.17 is not yet supported by the Forge Team; However, we will update Cryptic Cosmos to 1.17 once the Forge Team releases a compatible version of their API. Once the mod is updated to 1.17, all 1.16.x versions will be unsupported.
This mod was built for use with the Forge mod loader, and no other. We do not bear the responsibility to support other ones, such as Fabric or Rift.
