The Purgatory

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

by Franco__3003 · on CurseForge

A dimension of punishment and despair. Those who break the rules are sent here to suffer until they earn their way out — if they ever can.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge
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.

The Purgatory is a brutal new dimension where punishment becomes survival.
When a player commits a sin, or use illegal items, they are executed and sent to the Purgatory — an endless infernal prison filled with hostile creatures, red sand deserts, and an obsidian underworld.

Your only hope is to progress through the Altar of the Purgatory, crafting and offering special keys that unlock new stages of torment. Each phase brings deadlier challenges, powerful bosses, and unique resources.

Forge the Purgatory Metal, create the Purgatory Metal Pickaxe, and endure every trial until you obtain the final artifact — the Purgatory Key: Level III, your only way to escape back to the overworld.

The mod is designed for both extreme survival modpacks and multiplayer servers, where it can be used as a real prison for players who break the rules. If you are an administrator, you can send players to the Purgatory using /exile -player name-, or put the purgatory ring in their inventory using /give -player name- purgatory_ring (The second option works better for now).

To fully understand the progression, players should review the new Purgatory achievements tab, available once they enter the dimension.
This tab serves as a visual guide to the path they must follow to progress and, hopefully, escape.
