Description

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • After downloading, please replace the places mod version to 0.4.9 or higher  for the best experience.
  • Places is maintained in Modrinth, and this modpack will be available there some time later after it gets approved.
  • Also, I did not create any of the content featured in this modpack unless explicitly stated!

 

Stumble upon the backrooms dimension in Minecraft with Places and explore until you go mad. Find the exit, if you can... if you will...

Intended for multiplayer so play with your friends! Pack your stuff with Reliable Backpacks, build your on-the-go bases with Simply Tents, enjoy newer Minecraft features like Bundles with Vanilla Backport, capture the places with Exposure cameras and recover lost photos along the way…

 


 

Riding your horse across the plains while looking for a settlement, an unusual mound of dirt catches your eye. You get closer to investigate and find a wooden house in ruins. Time has eroded the traces left by the previous resident. Rummaging through the leftovers, you discover a basement, and down there is a door. 

You enter and find... a place. Bathed in fluorescent lights, stale carpet, and walls adorned in yellow wallpaper stretching to mazes of corridors and halls. The curiousity and awe wells up within you. Only until you turn back and realize — there's no leaving.
