About this Mod
This Mod aims to recreate the difficulty of old minecraft mods without changing too much of the game. The Mod takes the normal Minecraft world and adds a new biome with a huge reward if the player is able to overcome the challenges that it presents. Finally, the mod adds in natural spawns of end game mobs to ensure that no matter what, in this biome, it is one thing. Pain. This one mod will change how you play and ultimantly decide your fate in the biome. But, not all hope is lost. Within these painful biomes, lures a new crafting recipe. Can you find it and overcome the horrors?
This is an official port by the same guy who did this on cf. If you want proof? Check the link and don't bother me about it. Official Curseforge port
