Surviving the Otherside Dimension and Removing Darkness

Dealing with Darkness and Beds

Exploring the Otherside in Survival mode immediately applies the Darkness effect to your character. Because daylight cycles and weather do not exist between the dimension's top and bottom four-row Bedrock layers, glowing Sculk Gleam clusters on the cave roof are the only natural light source. Bring plenty of torches for navigation until you equip a Warden Helmet, which is the only way to remove the Darkness effect inside the dimension. Never try to sleep in a bed to set your respawn point here. Using a bed triggers a fiery explosion with a power of 5—stronger than TNT at power 4—and will not set your spawn.

Navigating Biomes and Hazards

Watch the ground and ceiling closely as you cross different underground biomes. In the Otherside Deeplands, thick green fog hides bone block fossils alongside ground traps like Sculk Jaws and Infested Sculk, while flying Phantoms and groups of Sculk Snappers patrol nearby. When entering the purple-fogged Echoing Forest, use the glowing purple Echo trees and Sculk Gleam as landmarks while staying alert for hostile Shattered mobs roaming the layered Echo Soil and Sculk Stone terrain.
