Description

This isn't one of those typical one time use, arg, sloppy, loud and deepfried images equal scary, glazed by youtubers, teleports you to bajillions of dimensions in one second, dweller, made by some 14 yr old kid, nukes your home, instantly kills you, rushed, half assed, edgy, walking simulator, dumb jeopardy music, png entities mods. This is an adventure mod like Eternal Starlight/Twilight Forest.

Backwoods is a liminal-horror adventure mod for NeoForge. This a mod that adds new horror dimensions, hostile entities with unique behaviors, progression items, structures, and atmospheric blocks. It also introduces a mental degradation system that changes how you survive the longer you remain in the unknown. The mod aims to diversify and intensify survival through oppressive exploration, limited safety, and enemies that require awareness and timing rather than simple combat. With Backwoods, you will once again feel fear while traveling, looting, and descending into dark places, because danger is no longer just around you, it is watching you.

Logo

Backwoods is a liminal-horror adventure mod for NeoForge and Forge. Enter a decayed wooden world and navigate a network of connected dimensions: Backwoods, The Grain, The Still, The Familiar, Rotting, and Loss.

Face Woodbound entities like Splinters and their variants, stalking, pathing, and hunting through terrain. Use progression items such as fragments, draughts, geodes, and effigies to survive escalating routes and recover control.

Not one of those ARG slop, alpha version slop, jumpscare slop mods that spams your chat with obfuscated text and keeps teleporting you to 420 sahurillion dimensions within 6 or 9 seconds and has .jar in the name.
