On the sultry Nether upon which your ardent desire for exploration has led you, your peripherals detect a strange ore with orange gems in it. Out of your desire for discovery and collection of things on all the adventures you embark on, you mine it with your half-durability iron pickaxe and keep it in your near-cluttered inventory. You called it "vulkatite".

As you continue your travels upon the nether, you see a strange broken frame of burning stone. Seeing that it's broken and incomplete, you keep track of the strange stone's appearance; after which you start to mine some more of that stone's kind in the vicinity until you had enough for fixing the broken thing. You remove the unnecessary blocks surrounding it and fix the rectangle shape it once had, using the newly acquired blocks you came to know as vulcanstone.

So you tried igniting it with your worn-out flint and steel, but nothing happened. Then you attempted to combine the vulkatite gem you mined with an ingot of iron to see if it'll be the appropriate tool to ignite the strange portal. You ignite the frame with it and are proven right. Before that, you started to think of what horrid surprises might await you on the deeper parts of the Nether, but without saying a word in your head you hastily enter the portal. But at least you're already prepared for the worst, right...?

Welcome to the Infernal Depths, crafter.


DESCRIPTION

300+ mod elements, 1 new dimension, 6 biomes, dozens of blocks, and unique entities.

This is Upon Infernal Depths, a mod that adds a new hellish dimension, which is in a sense a deeper version of the Nether we all know and love, taking a few inspirations from the Nether Update itself. This time around, it's gonna be way tougher than the good ol' Nether we've always known. Do you dare to explore the most maddening of depths for greater power and reputation (and also for the fun of it), at the cost of your sanity?


KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES

  • The Ardent Oculus' ranged attack is inaccurate and therefore keeps missing for the most part [since 1.0.0 alpha]
  • Burnstorm and Pyroculus spawn too frequently [since 1.0.0 alpha] [FIXED: snapshot 210405b]
  • Blocks from the Deep Inferno still don't sustain fire [since 1.0.0 alpha]
  • Still no naturally-generating fire similar to the Nether [since 1.0.0 alpha]
  • Giant burnshrooms float sometimes, which is very weird [since 1.0.0 beta] [FIXED: snapshot 210405b]
  • The advancement "A Hostile World" gets completed when the player enters the Nether (it's supposed to be granted by entering the Deep Inferno) [since 1.0.0 beta] [FIXED: snapshot 210405b]
  • Glungliders' durability gets quickly shredded when equipped in either mainhand or offhand, making them break easily and are thus unusable [since snapshot 210410a]

NOTES

  • Expect a few bugs ruining some of your experiences with this and/or other mod/s. If there are any bugs and/or incompatibilities I failed to catch and fix for myself,  tell me in the comments and I'll try my best to fix what can be fixed!
  • I'm open to any and all feedback & suggestions, so always feel free to express what you think of this mod in the comments, and maybe I'll keep this project alive and improving for as long as I can handle it!
  • Including this mod in your modpack is something I'll accept and appreciate, as long as you make sure to credit me! 
  • I recommend that you play this mod along with JEI for easy custom recipe viewing and AutoRegLib if you want all recipes registered immediately*
  • And try playing it along with SoundFilters and AmbientSounds 3 as well ;)

Here's a (currently kinda outdated) basic guide for this mod: https://mcreator.net/forum/66819/upon-infernal-depths-basic-guide


MISCELLANEOUS

IMPORTANT: I currently have a lot to do in online classes, so I hope you all understand if updates will come way later than expected.

UPDATE 11/08/2020

Sorry for the late upload, I was really occupied w/ online classes for the last 2 weeks or so :/

Everything's calmer though, for now.

I'm planning to change the minimum supported version of this mod to 1.15.2, and considering reworking this mod by coding everything on my own starting June 2021.

UPDATE 03/27/2021

Still no mod version updates this time (sorry if I excited you, haha), but I do have news about the current state of this mod's development.

  • I've ported and changed the minimum supported version of the mod to 1.15.2, and dropped support for 1.14.4 (1.15.2 version is still in development)
  • I've started reworking most textures
  • Next full version will be 2.0.0 instead of 1.1.0; I decided to increment the major version number coz I just ported this mod to 1.15.2 like I said (I will be changing the major version number in every update that adds/removes support for certain Minecraft versions and/or removes big mechanics in this mod)
  • As soon as I can add most of the stuff I've planned lately and develop a stable 1.15.2 version, I will consider supporting 1.16.4/1.16.5 too!

Also, thanks for 80+ downloads! ^_^

UPDATE 04/05/2021

Hi, I'm back again, and with a new snapshot version this time! The said snapshot, 210405b, is the first snapshot for a major upcoming update called "One Hell of An Update". (see what I did there?) Hope you enjoy!

(If there are some bugs I may have missed, feel free to tell me about it! I aim for this next major update to be as stable as possible, so feedback is very much appreciated.)


P.S.: Please don't ask me to backport this mod to old/obsolete versions, as I'm really focusing on newer ones. Thank you!
