The World Below

Alpha Below 1.0.0 Beta 1

First public beta release of Alpha Below for Fabric 1.20.1.

Known Bugs & Issues

• C418 music may not revert cleanly back to vanilla music when returning to the Overworld via Immersive Portals.
• The Dev House may generate with incorrectly faced interior blocks, and torches may fail to appear inside.
• Some structures may still spawn slightly under the surface.
• Pumpkin patches currently use uncarved pumpkins.
• Tint/foliage has issues for some people and not others.
• That first screenshot was a visual glitch that sometimes happens from Immersive Portals if you use it.
  • Reloading chunks or travelling back and forth again should fix it.
• Skybox bleeds in if fog isnt close enough
• If you use Immersive Portals, a lot of shader packs may give issues. BSL is recommended
• Removed Herobrine.
