Description
Welcome to the Backrooms, Traveler.
It seems you have noclipped out of the bounds of reality, and into a bizarre new world. We'd like to
welcome you to the "Backrooms", an alternate dimension where the laws of physics cease to apply.

The Backrooms is an intriguing concept, one that I, along with many other people, have poured hours into exploring -- from watching YouTube videos, to delving through the depths of the Backrooms Wiki. What better way to immerse oneself further into the Backrooms than through personal experience? Although there are already some Backrooms mods out there for Minecraft, they weren't quite what I was looking for. I chose to make my own version, which blends the standard Backrooms lore from the Backrooms Wiki with some aspects of Kane Pixels' own Backrooms series. I plan to make this mod a long-term project, although I will be working on it in my spare time. This means it might not be updated frequently, but more content (e.g. new Backrooms levels and other features) will be added over time.
