This page describe where to begin in the abyss. If you are lost, if you want to follow a guide in the abyss to know what you can do, this guide is for you!

The abyss is a dangerous place. There is sculk everywhere, so Wardens can appear all around. Moreover, just like in the End, you cannot respawn in the abyss yet. You can go there straight away, sneaking around, but there are better ways to survive.

To go to the Abyss for the first time in survival, you will need to find your way to the void. The only way without using glitches is to go to the End, and jump into the void.

This method teleports you in the Abyss, high in the sky, meaning you will die if you don't take any precaution. You can try to use a bucket of water or elytra to survive, but if your computer is too slow to load the world, you might die before having the chance to react. The safest way then is to use a potion of slow falling.

One way is to farm enchantments until you got enough stuff with Stealth, the new enchantment introduced with this mod. It will help a lot to be quiet all the time.

Another way is to tame local animals once in the abyss. The Noctilure is a flying mount that will enable you to reach the sky quietly. The Noctilure doesn't make any noise when it walk or fly. To tame a Noctilure, you will need to craft a Noctilure Treat. All the components to craft it are in the abyss.

To come back from the abyss, you need to have an abyss diver or a radiant staff. The easiest to get is the first. To craft it, you need glass (that you MUST bring from the overworld), pale cristal and corrupted essence. The crystals are found in the crystal biome discussed below, and the essence can be obtained from killing a Warden. You will probably want to kill the warden before going to the abyss, it would be easier to get your stuff back if you die in the overworld fighting the Warden.

When you arrive in the abyss, there are three items you should try to craft as soon as possible. First, the Abyss Diver to be able to come back safely. Second, the Crystal Resonator to be able to find your way in the abyss and locate the Crystal Temples. Third, the Wind Whisperer to learn about the lore of the abyss.

To follow the story of the abyss, you will have to find the Crystal Temples. You can craft a Crystal Resonator to guide you to each temple one after another. Each temple gives you a new piece of Jewelry that is used to summon the final boss of the dimension in the Ancient Citadel.

Each type of Temple has a different challenge.

There are four biomes in the abyss, three on the surface, and one in caves.

The most common one is the Deep Forest. You can found ancient cities at the surface in this biome, as well as cristal ruins and explorer houses. In a cristal ruin, you will always find one Radiance Cristal that are really useful to craft all sort of material that we will discuss later. Explorer Houses are very dangerous as two sculk shrieker always spawn inside. But there are also three chests that have unique loot. They are mostly similar to ancient cities, but they can also contain Deepcristal. Inside the house itself, you can found those crystals. They can be very useful as well.

White Forests are very rare. They can also hold cristal ruin, but also Sanctuary trees. They are decorative but can be very exciting to see from afar.

There is nothing to do in wastelands, it's rather difficult to progress in them, and there is almost no light. Avoid them if you can.

The biome Crystal Cave is common in the depth. Neutral crystals are generated everywhere there. This biome is interesting as it can give you those neutral cristals. They are useful only in Ancient Citadels, but you need very few of them, so you'll probably have some when you need them anyway.

There are also six variant of this biome, each one corresponding to one of the crystal types.

• Amethyst Cave
• Ruby Cave
• Citrine Cave
• Malachite Cave
• Echo Cave
• Pale Cave

They don't have anything special except that they generate their respective crystal type in large quantity. Crystal Temples always spawn above the corresponding cave.

Deep underground, you can find deep ore. They give you deep fragments, just like deepcristal. Those can be melt into deep ingots, and they can be use to craft the deepcristal armor and the abyssal scythe.

There is no ore to obtain radiance fragment, the radiance equivalent of the deep fragments. And you will need a lot of them to begin the purification.

First, you can craft a radiance catalyst. This will be your most basic tool to purify all corrupted materials. You can see the list of what you can purify in the same page. You can for instance obtain a Protector to help you fight monsters.

To follow and learn the story of the abyss, you will need to find an Ancient Citadel. They are generated in the depth, at the Liquid Corruption level which replace lava in the abyss. A map to an ancient citadel can be found in the last of the Crystal Temples, the Pale-Temple.

There lies the final boss of the dimension: the Contagion Incarnation. It has more life than any monster in all of Vanilla Minecraft, so be prepared.

You can also find a Wind Whisperer in the Hall of Glass of an Ancient Citadel or craft it. The Wind Whisperer allows you to hear the wind. From time to time, a piece of information about the story of the abyss will be displayed in the chat. All this lore is available to you in your Wind Journal once you have heard it.
