About this Mod
A little mod adding 4 new dimensions (plus a couple small sub dimensions) heavily inspired by other popular liminal places/aesthetics to the game, alongside new mobs, items, paintings, music discs and blocks (obviously).
Most of the relevant information about the features of the mod can actually be found through the item tooltips and advancements so be sure to look in there if you wanna learn about how some of the features work. Otherwise you can also join my Discord and just ask about stuff directly in there!
Also for ppl with photosensitivity: the mod does contain a thing with FLASHING LIGHTS, and as of the latest update there is a photosensitivity config (that hopefully works).
Music
All of the background tracks have been made by my awesome friend LudoCrypt so go check out her Bandcamp if you wanna listen to it and also go buy her music.
Most of the level discs are made by WebCreature! go check out their music on their Spotify
Feel free to use the mod in your modpacks AS LONG as there is no generative AI used in them anywhere :)

Server lagging with Places – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Places consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
