Backstory -
During the time when the Overwold and Nether had just been born, this dimension existed as little other than an empty void between worlds. Over time, energy from the Overworld seeped into it through a rift, allowing life to spread. A race of people soon populated it, led by a powerful Great Druid. He and his followers wanted to harness the power of the Nether to use as a tool. However, when they opened up a portal, the dark energies surged through uncontrolled, causing corruption to spread. The inhabitants of The Betweenlands became Wights. Some of the Great Druid's followers managed to escape to the Overworld, however over time they became mad. The Great Druid himself became The Prime Wight. Doomed to rule over an empire of decay, any humanity left in him slowly faded away. After much time had passed, a traveler found their way to the dimension. And so your story begins...
How to survive -
The air is so foul that any creature breathing it slowly decays. The realm has no day/night cycle. Clocks, maps, redstone, flint and steel, and compasses are useless here. Due to the warm and wet environment of The Betweenlands, food from other dimensions rots when traveling through the portal to this dimension, becoming
As Flint and Steel cannot operate in the dimension, there is an alternative way to creating a fire. Simply hold right-click Moss, Cave Moss, or Thorns (either placed or dropped, both block and item forms work) with an Octine Ingot to light it on fire. The ingot will cause the plant to slowly build up flame until it turns into a fire block, without consuming the ingot in the process. This is essential for getting an Infuser started.
Torches will not work here, and you will require Sulfur Torches instead. Along with that, tools from other dimensions will be diminished in effectiveness in the Betweenlands, prompting the player to use the Betweenlands tools. However, Betweenlands tools in your inventory will undergo Corrosion.
How to get there -
The Betweenlands can be accessed by creating a Portal Tree. For more information on how to access the dimension, visit the How to get there page.
Environment -
The Betweenlands revolves around a swampy-like theme. It has a randomly generated, animated green sky dotted with mysterious, hazy stars. These skies have Auroras from time to time, one of the last sparks of happiness in the dimension. The once verdant soil retains a very dead green color.
The dimension is composed of Swamplands, Patchy Islands, Coarse Islands, Sludge Plains, Deep Waters, and Marshes. The Middle Gem Ores can be found within a couple of these biomes. These biomes are crawling with very thick and uncontrolled flora and fauna, and some contain remnants of long lost civilizations in the form of Ruins and Dungeons, among other mysterious structures. There are also larger landmarks, such as the Wight Fortress.
The Lake Caverns, or Pitstone layer of The Betweenlands. There you can find Valonite Ore, and Life Crystal Ore. Or perhaps something will find you first...
The Betweenlands's main tree type is the small Weedwood Tree, although you may find gigantic ones. The dimensions also provides Sap Trees, Rubber Trees and more.
The dimension carries a whole underground system with ores such as Sulfur Ore,Slimy Bone Ore, Octine Ore, Syrmorite Ore, Valonite Ore, and Life Crystal Ore. The caves themselves are often wide and house underground flora and dripping stalactites, along with echoing cave ambiance.
There are two main locations of the Betweenlands's underground structure: The Caverns and the Lake Caverns.

COMMON ISSUES
Common issues caused by OptiFine
- My screen is totally black!
This is a common issue when OptiFine is installed.
The "Fast Render" option in OptiFine causes our shaders to not work.
To fix this problem you can either set "Fast Render" to OFF
or disable the Betweenlands shaders in the Betweenlands config. - Everything is invisible!
Newer versions of OptiFine have built-in shaders that
don't work well with our shaders. You can either disable the
Betweenlands shaders or disable the OptiFine shaders by going to the
main Minecraft directory, opening optionsshaders.txt and changingshaderPack=...
toshaderPack=OFF
. - The mod crashes on startup in 1.7.10
The 1.7.10 version of the Betweenlands is incompatible with some
OptiFine versions. TryOptiFine HD U D3
instead which should
work.
Other common issues
- The water is only yellow/brown/beige
Download the latest recommended version of Forge. - Everything is black, invisible or looks strange
If you have any other mods installed that add shaders, make sure you either
disable the shaders of those mods, or disable the Betweenlands shaders (see 1.1) - The sounds or music sometimes stop working
That's something we're still working on. If this happens to you, you
can fix it by pressing F3+T (might freeze the game for a few seconds)
instead of restarting the game. - This mod makes my game lag horribly!!1!
Try disabling the Betweenlands shaders (see 1.1). Some graphics cards,
especially integrated ones such as Intel HD Graphics, cannot handle the
shaders well.
