🟡 Stuck_ a backrooms mod

Get lost in the noclipped reality.

⚠️ Important — Read Me First

This is my first Minecraft mod. I'm learning as I build, so expect bugs, weird behavior, and rough edges — especially during this alpha phase.

If you find an issue, please be patient and report it so I can fix it. Thanks for trying it out and supporting a beginner modder! 🙏

🟡 How to Play — IMPORTANT

When you create a new world with this mod installed, you will spawn DIRECTLY in the Backrooms — not in the Overworld.

This is intentional! The mod is designed around the feeling of waking up already lost in the noclipped reality.

If you want to leave the Backrooms and visit the Overworld, use the /backrooms command (it works both ways — teleports you between dimensions).

🎮 Alpha State — What to Expect

This mod is in early alpha. Some important things to know before playing:

🎒 Most blocks and items do NOT spawn naturally yet. They're currently only available through the Creative inventory (Backrooms tab). Natural loot generation in crates/drawers and world structures will come in future updates.

🚫 You cannot gather resources in the Backrooms. No ores, no trees, no food, no animals. The dimension is a resource dead-end — by design (it's the Backrooms after all!).

💡 Recommended: Play in Creative mode during alpha for the best experience. Survival is currently very harsh due to the resource limitations above.

🌐 If you want survival resources, use /backrooms to teleport to the Overworld and gather materials there, then come back.

🟡 About

Stuck_ a backrooms mod is a Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 mod that adds a procedurally generated Backrooms dimension inspired by the iconic Kane Pixels YouTube series.

📜 Lore — The Async Research Institute

The mod is built around an original fictional universe inspired by Kane Pixels:

1982. Lawrence Altman founds Async Research Institute in San José, California. Originally building MRI machines, the company secretly develops Project KV31 — a method to access parallel dimensions for storage and overpopulation solutions.

October 17, 1989. During Test #006, Async successfully opens a Threshold to The Complex (the Backrooms). The breach causes an earthquake, kills 63 employees, and leaves 14 missing. The Threshold cannot be closed. Disappearances worldwide rise by 4,700%.

You found their abandoned terminal. The archives are still there.

Explore the computer to uncover the full story.

🐛 Known Issues (Alpha)

VHS Tape content is currently a placeholder (TV test pattern only) — full video animations coming next release
The computer terminal GUI shows only the hotbar (no full inventory view) due to GUI size constraints
Some block models may have placement quirks (will be polished in next release)
Most blocks and items are creative-only for now — no natural generation yet
No survival viability in the Backrooms — bring resources from the Overworld via /backrooms
As this is my first mod, there may be other issues I haven't discovered yet — please report them!
