About this Mod
Shadowlands is a mod which adds 4 new dimensions, each with biomes and dungeons, there's loads to explore!
The Shadowlands dimension is a dark shadowy dimension with grey trees and black stone dungeons along with occasional red cactus forests and creeper forests, here you will find the keys to the Glowshroom Forest and Vellium dimensions.
The Glowshroom forest has glowing mushrooms everywhere, but be careful - some of them can move and are not at all welcoming to outsiders. The dimension also has strange stinging Jellyfish and Spore Mines, which will explode without warning if you go near them. And of course there are plenty of towers and dungeons to loot and explore.
The Vellium dimension is a bright sunny cheerful place - but do not be fooled - the strange yellow one-eyed beasts which inhabit it are deadly.
The Blood Forest dimension is an evil dark place, full of hostile mobs and covered in sharp spikes which without the right armor can tear apart the player, the most powerful bosses can be summoned here.
