The Beneath [Forge] Mod Wiki starts a massive mining dimension that is based on the Deep Dark from Extra Utilities. It also adds a few new additions that did not exist in that space.
The Beneath Wiki
The mod used to be a replacement because the author had not ported the Deep Dark to 1.10.2 promptly. Now, it becomes a very configurable mining dimension.
It appears with a Teleporter block that can teleport to the dimension. There is a configurable crafting recipe that you’re able to customize or enable in the config file. Or, you can select something like CraftTweaker as an alternative.
Features
The Beneath has the following features.
A new dimension
It has a very large size.
Mobs
They have twice the health and damage.
Configurability
You can configure whether or not you can control the teleporter block in dimensions out of the Overworld. It’s possible to enable that to set down a Beneath Teleporter in the Nether. Next, pick that teleporter to move back and forth between The Beneath and the Nether.
However, it can help you carry out other operations.
A built-in JSON-based ore generator
JSON file created at the first startup with an automatic configuration. The system can turn off if you own another mod that solves ore generation.
Different modes
They’re capable of toggling the way the dimension acts in circumstances. To switch modes, restart to use and take effect.
“grue”
They spawn in dark places if you stay in the shadows for long enough. Select the config file in Grue to adjust everything there.
“darkness”
You should avoid it to defend yourself from monsters. It’s configurable for the amount of damage dealt and the amount of time between each hit.
“none”
Disables the darkness damage
Another possibility to configure
You can affect whether or not dungeons should create in the dimension and how frequent. It runs like the dungeon setting in vanilla. 0 will prevent all generations.
Creatures
They lurk in the dark and they are always ready to pull you out of the light. Grues or other mobs and/or the darkness can make you disappear whenever.
Mildly unnerving sounds
You can hear them when you are traveling through the dimension.
The Beneath Configuration in detail
You can search for various config options in The Beneath. Here is a breakdown of them.

Configurable crafting recipe for the teleporter. If you install CraftTweaker, you can make use of it instead.

Format for Items: modid:name:meta (meta is optional, and * is to define the metadata wildcard). The OreDictionary can operate, where you decide the ore name (ingotIron for Iron Ingots, stone for Stone).

Some tormenting config settings:
If you expect your players to face more difficulties through The Beneath, you can try some tweaks below.
Set the Beneath mode to “darkness”
Enable the Whitelist in Grue and add the dimension ID. You can get it as the only dimension ID or still have the Overworld ID there if you want it.
(Optional) Set the Darkness damage timer to a low value and increase the Darkness damage.
(Bonus) Add some nasty blocks to the dimension (silverfish stone is in the default oregen configuration. Nevertheless, you can have more to handle, depending on the mods you install)
So, the dimension will be harder to survive because it connects to Grue spawning and Darkness damage. With the proper tools, there might be more wicked stuff you can combine.
If you had a mod where you could deter the player from putting specific blocks in certain dimensions. You could turn on Additional Dimension Teleportation. Next, locate the teleporter in some dangerous dimensions.
The Beneath Commands
To speed up configuring process of ore generation and block decoration, test a command! It lets you reload the files on the fly instead of restarting Minecraft after changing anything.
/beneath “reloadAll” loads again both files, “reloadOres” only reloads oregen, and “reloadDeco’ just reloads blockdeco.
Ore generator format
The format for adding ores to produce inside The Beneath should not be too complex to recognize. You can see a copy of the default configuration that the mod shapes on the first run at https://github.com/Shinoow/The-Beneath/blob/master/oregen.json. Here is what the entry for an ore looks like:
{
“ore”: “minecraft:coal_ore”, //ore to generate, always “modid:name”
“oremeta”: 0, //metadata value to ask for the ore
“source”: “minecraft:stone”, //source block to take the place with the ore, always “modid:name”
“srcmeta”: 0, //metadata value to look over the source block
“veins”: 32, //vein generation frequency (higher the number, the more veins make)
“size”: 16, //,aximum amount of blocks to trigger in a single vein
“miny”: 10, //lowest Y level the ore will cause at
“maxy”: 246, //highest Y level the ore will come into being
}
A comma separates entries. There is not a limit on how many ores you can add to the file. Enter the default oregen.json if you realize something else that is not clear.
The Beneath is a mod about mobs, ores, resources, and dimensions. Get ready to visit the new dimension your way!
