Depth : Hidden World - Dive into the Ocean Depths

Discover the amazing underwater world with the Depth mod! This project was created in just three days as part of a modding competition organized by French YouTuber FuzeIII. The mod transports you to a sunken part of the ocean where ancient secrets and unusual creatures await.

Lore and Backstory

Long ago, a part of the deep ocean sank into the abyss due to an unknown force connected to the blocks of ancient structures. In those times, two species of Guardians lived in harmony - the Amber Guardians and those you already know. The reflection of the sun on the amber crystals filled the seas with energy that remained preserved within the amber. When the ocean portion collapsed, many creatures were swept into the depths, including Creepers and Turtles, who adapted to their new environment by changing their lifestyle and appearance. Somewhere there exists a passage between the buried world and ours - will you be able to find it?

New Resources and Tools

In ocean biomes, deposits of amber and platinum generate. Amber tools apply a hunger effect to enemies and automatically cook mined blocks. They are more durable than netherite but mine resources slower.

Platinum tools have durability between iron and diamond. They apply a "Deep Impact" effect to enemies, which deals additional damage to aquatic mobs and fish.

Structures and Dimensions

On beaches you can find abandoned fisherman's huts, and underground - ancient Guardian temples with a portal in the center. To activate the portal, use a Heart of the Sea with a right-click.

The new dimension consists entirely of water, volcanoes, and amber crystals, creating a unique underwater environment for exploration.

Underwater Fauna

The depths are inhabited by new creatures: The Deeper (an aquatic creeper that pulls the player toward itself and has a 50% chance to explode after death) and The Sunken (a hollow crab that detects creepers within a 16-block radius and trembles when they approach, can also be used as portable storage).

Pressure Mechanics and Survival

At depths greater than 20 blocks from the water surface, the player begins to take damage from pressure. Special equipment is required for survival.

Netherite diving suit protects against pressure but is heavy and slows swimming. Its platinum version is lighter and better suited for underwater movement.

For breathing underwater, compressed air is used. Fill the chestplate by right-clicking on an air compressor, which must be adjacent to an air block.

Transport and Boss

The submarine allows travel through the depths without being affected by currents and bubble columns, without the need for potions or wooden doors.

The main boss of the dimension is the Amber Guardian, a neutral guardian of the depths in the Depth Dungeon. To summon it, use the altar in the center of the dungeon with a nether star. The boss has three phases: neutral (regular attacks dealing 30 damage), attractive (from 200 HP, pulls the player when hit), and projectile (from 100 HP, launches crystal projectiles that damage the player's weapon). As a reward, you receive the "Mirror of Profusion" - a fun item for duplicating the item in your off-hand.
