The Purgatory (Forge)

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.17. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.17–1.17.1Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Have you ever died in Minecraft? Yes? Is it too little and simple? Well with this MCreator mod you will be able to be transported into a new dimension! Both 1.17 and 1.16.5 Versions available!

The Purgatory is the brand new dimension only accessed by dying, a dark gray and bleak place with only one way out. With a plain Purgatory biome and Deep Forest where you will find the new wood of the dimension.

If you want to get out you will need to find a rune temple which has the Earth Rune right click on the rune to go back to the overworld these aren't that common so you will be searching for a bit through the dense fog, but lurking around are some unlikely foes.

Mobs:

"Over There" Is the main statue that is found throughout the dimension however it will only chase you when you look away, too bad they're everywhere.

Ores:

Three new ores can be found they are Purgatory Metal, Purgatory Gem, and White Diamond in order from most common to rarest.

They can be used together to upgrade your pickaxe and sword (more will be added) These tools are better than netherite

That's about it but I plan on updating this down the road so stayed tuned! Please check the images for ores and recipes
