Note: this mod is a work in progress. Please report any suspected bugs.

I love retro FPS games. So I thought, "what if someone did a Minecraft mod with knockoffs of things from them as mobs, dimensions etc., but also some from recent ones?" So I did that.

For those who want to see certain features early, check out the snapshots, and please report any bugs found in them so the next version can be the best it can!

A list of concept-sources can be found here, with links to various wiki pages.

Roadmap thing:
~~Alpha: terrible first release~~
~~Beta 1: actual content~~
Beta 2: Borderworld stuff
Beta 3: Inferno stuff
Beta 4: Outer Dimension
1.0: Full release
potential alternate Geckolib-compatible version (if I can be bothered to convert and animate all the models)

Known issues:

Healing Water doesn't heal (will be fixed in Beta 2)
The Technodemon's texture has a stray pixel next to the mouth (will be fixed in Beta 2)
