Frequently asked questions

How do I start the Deeper and Darker Mod?
Find a Deep Dark biome and locate the ancient temple structure within it, since that's where the mod's progression begins. Bring the materials needed to activate the portal, and read the Ancient Compass guide first so you know what to look for.
How do I open the portal in Deeper and Darker?
You need to find the portal frame inside the ancient temple and activate it with the correct item, then step through to reach the Otherside dimension. See the dedicated portal guide for the exact activation steps.
How do I light the portal in Deeper and Darker?
The portal isn't lit like a Nether portal with flint and steel; it uses its own activation mechanic tied to the temple. Follow the portal guide for the specific item and interaction required.
How do I find the ancient city and temple in Deeper and Darker?
Ancient Cities generate in Deep Dark biomes below y-level 0, and the mod's temple spawns within that biome. Use the Ancient Compass to navigate toward the temple once you're in the Deep Dark.
How do I use the ancient compass?
The Ancient Compass points you toward the nearest ancient temple when you're in the Deep Dark, similar to how a lodestone compass works. It's your main navigation tool for finding the portal and structures.
How do I get warden armor and tools in Deeper and Darker?
Warden armor and tools are crafted from materials you obtain in the Otherside dimension, not from the Warden itself. You'll need to progress through the portal, gather the required drops, and craft them at a crafting table or smithing setup.
How do I survive the mobs in Deeper and Darker?
The mod adds hostile mobs like the Sculk Centipede, Sculk Leech, Stalker, and Shattered that are dangerous in the dark. Bring strong armor, light sources, and avoid triggering sculk shriekers unless you're prepared for a fight.
What are sculk transmitters used for?
Sculk Transmitters come in many colors and are used for redstone-style signaling or decoration in the Deep Dark theme. Place them and interact to send or receive signals depending on the color variant.
What do bloom blocks and gloomslate do?
Bloom blocks form a wood-like building set (planks, doors, signs, boats, etc.) native to the Otherside, while Gloomslate is a stone variant with slabs, stairs, and walls. Both are primarily decorative building materials for the mod's biomes.
Does Deeper and Darker work on Bedrock or mcpe?
Deeper and Darker is a Java Edition mod, so it does not run on Bedrock or MCPE. Bedrock players would need a separate Bedrock port or addon, which is not the same mod.
