About this Mod
A new dark dimension, inspired by the Hunting Dimension by Darkhax.
Build a 14 block portal, light it with the Blood Stone or by sacrificing a chicken in the portal frame.
Mobs in the Upside Down are double health, stable footed (no knockback) and spawn everywhere.
They are armored and can have enchanted weapons but they drop double loot (vanilla drops only)
By default, Simple Burnout Torch is a required dependency and is configured so torches placed in The Upside Down will burnout over time, this adds a level of complication along with the eternal darkness and tougher mobs.
If you use Reliquary, you can disable mob drops in the Reliquary config and they will be injected into the loot tables of mobs that spawn in The Upside Down.
The point of this is to give pack makers a reason to send players to The Upside Down. Reliquary drops can be very powerful when incorporated into crafting recipes.
