Exploring the Overworld[]

Your next step should be crafting a Gateway Key, which will allow you to enter the Abyssal Wasteland. It’s recommended that you stock up with armor and tools as well. Abyssalnite Armor and Tools can be made from coralium, which is slightly stronger than their iron counterparts.

You will then need to seek out a Darklands Mountains biome and slay enough Shadow Creatures, Shadow Monsters, and Shadow Beasts to obtain Shadow Gems which will be turned into Shards of Oblivion. To craft the Gateway Key you will need 16 gems.

Once you have the key, find a good open area to create the portal and right click the ground to open it. (It’s advised that you gather a supply of food and light sources before going through the portal. Where you’re going, those two are going to be hard to come by).

Summoning Asorah, The Fallen[]

Once the player obtains the components to craft an Altar, the first boss of AbyssalCraft, Asorah, The Fallen, may be summoned. In order to summon the boss, the Altar must be built in the wastelands using abyssal cobblestone. Assembling the altar requires a shift-right click to the center block with the second tier (abyssal wastelands) Necronomicon. Once built, Asorah can be summoned by the player performing the Ritual of the Sleeper (details in the Necronomicon).

Fighting Asorah can be tricky. During the fight,Spectral Dragons will spawn around him, allowing him to drain their life to heal his own, killing them in the process. It’s worth noting that when a Spectral Dragon dies, they explode, dealing direct damage to Asorah. When Asorah reaches half health, he will start to slowly lose health when a spectral dragon is nearby. When he reaches 25% health, however, he will once again continue to drain the life out of the dragons.

Once defeated, Asorah will drop a large amount of experience as well as the «Eye of The Abyss».

The Abyssal Wasteland[]

Upon entering the Abyssal Wasteland, you will find yourself in a world shrouded in darkness with no visible day/night cycle. You will enter the world right next to a portal leading back to the overworld in case you need to turn back. Your goal here is to find Abyssal Strongholds, which contain portals leading to the next of the mod’s dimensions: The Dreadlands.

This new dark biome comes with its own spawn list of new hostile mobs that can easily overpower unsuspecting players. Here you will encounter dangerous mobs such as Depths Ghouls, Abyssal Zombies, Spectral Dragons, and Skeleton Goliaths as well as the vanilla spawning Zombies and Skeletons. It’s strongly advised you established a small base around the portal back home before you venture out and explore.

Here are some notes on the new AbyssalCraft Mobs:

Abyssal Zombies mark vanilla Zombies with a higher attack priority, serving as a distraction, if the player needs to escape.

Depths Ghouls are taller than normal mobs and can be kept at away with spaces smaller than 3 blocks high.

Spectral Dragons, in their current build, function similarly to the Ender Dragon from the vanilla version of the game. They can fly through blocks and have brief moments of invulnerability similar to their vanilla counterpart.

The Skeleton Goliaths, despite their large 4 block high size can easily match the speed of a player if detected. Their high damage output coupled with their large amounts of health makes them a difficult foe to fight against.

Here’s some notes as you explore the dark world.

Combining 8 9-clusters of Coralium Gems with one block of Abyssal Stone creates a chunk of Coralium. Smelting this chunk will produce a Refined Coralium Ingot which is used to craft or upgrade your armor and tools into Refined Coralium.

There’s a total of 3 different types of Coralium Ore found in the wasteland. All of which craft down into Refined Coralium.

The extremely tall obsidian pillars that can be found spawning around the land has a block of diamond on their tops.

The Dreadlands[]

Once inside the Dreadlands, you’ll notice the Abyssalnite/Dreaded Abyssalnite Golems, who continuously fight each other (with the exception of the dreaded one also attacking the player). These mobs can be used as an easy way to farm huge quantities of Abyssalnite, as they drop chunks of it on death. The environment in the Dreadlands is quite desolate, but there are still mobs that spawn here (apart from the aforementioned golems). In the Dreadlands Forest biomes you can find Demon Pigs and Dread Spawns (and the golems plus the Dreadling, which has a fairly average chance of spawning in all of the various Dreadlands biomes). If you happen to stumble upon a Dreadlands Mountains biome, you should be able to find larger amounts of Dreadlings, but also Fists of Cha’garoth, Spawns of Cha’garoth and the infamous Dreadguard. The only ore you can find here are the Dreaded/Dreadlands Abyssalnite ores, which can be smelted down for more Abyssalnite Ingots. There is also a Purified Dreadlands biome (which is the opposite of the normal Dreadlands biome, since this one is covered in Abyssalnite Stone instead of Dreadstone).

Abyssal Strongholds[]

Located throughout the Abyssal Wastelands are underground fortresses known as Abyssal Strongholds. Similar to the Overworld’s Strongholds, these structures house portals to the Dreadlands and are found using Powerstone Trackers.

Functioning similarly to Eyes of Ender, Powerstone Trackers are crafted by surrounding an Eye of Ender with eight Coralium Gems. The Trackers can then be thrown into the air as they begin to float in the direction of a Stronghold. More specifically, Trackers hone in on the Dreadlands Infused Powerstone hidden away in the Abyssal Stronghold itself. The Dreadlands Infused Powerstone can only be harvested with a Refined Coralium Pickaxe or better.

Omothol[]

A endless temple city built at the very edge of sanity. The Realm of J’zahar holds the only entrance to where The Great Old Ones dwell. The Gatekeeper is always watching, and nobody leaves the final layer of the Abyss alive.

Materials

Progression

Now that you’ve arrived in Omothol, it’s time to battle J’zahar, Gatekeeper of The Abyss. This Dimension is currently incomplete, so there isn’t that much to do here apart from getting materials to craft the Abyssalnomicon.

This section will be updated when Omothol has been completed. At that point, there will be a gigantic city built upon these floating islands.

Entities

Features

• 6 new types of stone (where all but one can be turned into bricks)
• 5 new types of tools (one simply consisting of a stronger type of stone)
• 8 new types of armor (where half of them are upgraded/altered versions of the 4 base ones)
• 6 new Overworld biomes (among them a swamp, not to mention massive mountains)
• 42 new mobs (among them 4 bosses)
• A smaller breed of Shoggoths (you know, those amorphous shape-shifting abominations mentioned in the Cthulhu mythos)
• Evil animals (ever seen someone being killed by a pig? this mod has that, along with chickens and cows)
• Mobs and animals composed of antimatter (usually a good idea to keep them from colliding with their regular counterparts, because physics)
• 4 new dimensions (each more evil than the previous)
• 15 new ores, among them 3 that generate in the Overworld
• 2 new explosives (one is used a core component for the other)
• Statues representing Great Old Ones
• 17 new food items (among them flesh you probably shouldn’t eat, food on plates and MREs)
• 4 new Machines (allowing you to manipulate materials on a atomic level, or simply engrave coins)
• 2 new trees (one found in the Overworld, other found in the second dimension)
• 3 new potion effects (each in some way capable of converting an entity into another, whether it’s a plague or simply antimatter)
• 4 new enchantments (allowing you to spread plagues, or simply deal more damage to living shadows, among things)
• A new magic system (using ancient grimoires and rituals)
• A new form of energy (used in conduction with the aforementioned magic system)
• And lastly a book that keeps track on information regarding most of these things (things not directly mentioned are likely not that tied to progression, but a section for misc information is being put together for that)
• There also an API that you can interact with the mod through.

Defeating Cha’garoth[]

Once inside the Dreadstone Stronghold that holds Cha’garoth’s Lair, you will encounter multiple Dreadguards while heading to the far north end of the structure, where you will walk down a staircase until you drop down into the lair. There are 2 additional rooms within the structure, where you can find various things. When you reach the hall with fenced windows (reached after going up the staircase), Cha’garoth’s health bar will appear, and Spawns of Cha’garoth will spawn at your location as long as their master is alive. Once you’ve reached the lair, you’ll find Cha’garoth in a circular room with 2 Dreadguards (and the amount of mobs he has spawned while you were working your way towards him). If you have a bow and a large amount of arrows, the fight should be a bit easier, apart from the many minions that spawn at your location. One way to make the fight easier on your end is to have splash potions of healing (as all Dread mobs are undead), buying you time when throwing them at the enemies while healing yourself. Another method for making the fight easier is to either have the Plated Coralium Armor set or the Dreadium Samurai one (the samurai set gives you a health regen, and the Katana deals a lot of damage). Once you have defeated Cha’garoth, he will drop a Dread-plagued Gateway Key, which needs to be transmuted in order to obtain Cha’garoth’s R’lyehian Gateway Key, needed to reach the final dimension.

Dimensions

The 4 dimensions of AbyssalCraft are collectively known as The Abyss and are: The Abyssal Wastelands, the Dreadlands, Omothol and The Dark Realm.

The Abyss dimensions (excluding The Dark Realm) are accessed by Gateway Keys, which place down a portal when used. To exit the Abyss, the player will have to walk through a corresponding portal in the Abyss dimensions.

Compasses and Clocks do not work at all in the Abyss dimensions. The Abyss dimensions also do not have a day-night cycle system.

The Abyssal Wasteland

The Abyssal Wasteland is the first Abyss dimension that the player will encounter. This dimension has a bright green sky and a dark ground. The mobs Death Ghoul, Abyssal Zombie, Zombie, Skeleton, Spectral Dragon and Skeleton Goliath spawn here.

The Abyssal Wastelands spawns abyssal versions of Overworld ores. These ores spawn at the same Y-level as their corresponding Overworld ore.

Pools of Liquid Coralium generate here. The terrain is slightly mountainous plains with dark green grass. The first boss of AbyssalCraft, Asorah, The Fallen can be spawned here.

The Dreadlands

The Dreadlands is the second Abyss dimension. This dimension has a red, Nether-like sky and maroon Dreadlands Grass on the ground. The Dreaded Abyssalnite Golem, Abyssalnite Golem, Dreadling, Dread Spawn and Dreadguard are the mobs that are found in The Dreadlands.

The ores Dreaded Abyssalnite and Dreadlands Abyssalnite are found in this dimension.

The Dreadlands contain different biomes such as the Dreadlands Mountains, Purified Dreadlands and Dreadlands Forest. Dreadlands Trees are commonly seen here. The second boss, Cha’garoth, The Dreadbeast can be spawned here.

Omothol

Omothol is the third Abyss dimension. This dimension has a completely black sky and the ground is filled with dark gray colored Omothol Stone. Remnants, Omothol Ghouls, Omothol Wardens and the Minions of the Gatekeeper are the mobs that populate Omothol.

Ethaxium Ore are found in Omothol.

The terrain here is generated on sky islands, and falling into the bottom void is very easy. The terrain consists of barren mountains and plains that is nearly completely made out of Omothol Stone. The third boss, J’hazar, Gatekeeper of the Abyss can be spawned here.

The Dark Realm

The Dark Realm is the fourth and final Abyss dimension. Unlike the other Abyss dimensions, The Dark Realm is accessed by jumping off the edge of an island in Omothol. Fall damage occurs when a player enters The Dark Realm. The player can exit The Dark Realm by using a Cha’garoth’s R’lyehian Gateway Key to make a portal to Omothol.

Shadow Creature, Shadow Monster, Shadow Beast and Lesser Shoggoth populate The Dark Realm. The terrain here is completely made of dark violet colored Darkstone. The optional boss, Sacthoth, Harbinger of Doom is spawned rarely in this dimension.

Generating a new world[]

The first thing you should do after installing AbyssalCraft (as of version 1.8.4 and later) is to craft a Necronomicon. This picture shows how a Necronomicon is crafted:

This book contains the majority of the information written on this wiki page, with some extra info on materials found in the various dimensions added by the mod (and new materials found in the Overworld).

As you might suspect, AbyssalCraft adds a new overworld biome when you generate a new world with it, the biome (called «The Darklands») is made out of Darklands grass, which is a purple/indigo grass that emits nether portal particles, and other things you can easily notice inside it is the trees (leaves have a similar color to the grass) and the various generated structure scattered around the place (as of lately, the structures are quite rare). A good start when you find a Darklands biome is to locate the 2 story high buildings that looks like a wizard tower, for the simple reason that it contains a fully powered enchantment table, allowing you to quickly enchant tools/armor as you obtain them.

Reaching The Dreadlands[]

In order to reach the Dreadlands, the player must have killed Asorah, located an Abyssal Stronghold, and have a gateway key, and be in the possession of a transmutation gem. Asorah’s Dreaded Gateway Key is crafted by placing the gateway key in the center of the crafting grid, with the other 3 components around it (1 located on top of it, the other 2 on the sides in the grid). The key is used like it’s former counterpart. Right-click on the ground and a portal will be created.

One thing you should do before heading to the Dreadlands is to create a Transmutator, as it will be very useful later when it comes to experimenting with crystals produced by the Crystallizer. In order to craft it, you need 2 Refined Coralium Blocks, 1 Liquid Coralium Bucket, 1 Transmutation Gem and 5 Coralium Bricks. In order to obtain the Coralium Bricks, you need to pour Liquid Antimatter on Liquid Coralium, creating Coralium Stone. Liquid Antimatter can be found in the Coralium Infested Swamp biome, but can also be crafted if you can’t find the biome (using 1 lava bucket, 1 water bucket, 1 milk bucket and 1 liquid coralium bucket, with 5 iron ingots placed as a boat with the buckets on top of it in the crafting grid).

Mobs

AbyssalCraft introduces 40 regular mobs and 4 bosses to Minecraft.

Hostile Mobs

Some of the hostile mobs of AbyssalCraft are listed below:

• Depths Ghoul, a mob that spawns in the Darklands and the Abyss dimensions and have zombie-like behavior.

Neutral Mobs

Some of the neutral mobs of AbyssalCraft are listed below:

• Abyssalnite Golem, a mob that spawns in the Dreadlands and is hostile to Dreaded Abyssalnite Golem. If the player attacks one Abyssalnite Golem, all Abyssalnite Golems nearby become hostile to the player.
• Remnant, a mob that spawns in Omothol. A player with an Omothol Necronomicon or Abyssalnomicon can trade with it. If the player attacks one Remnant, all Remnants nearby become hostile to the player.

Elite Mobs

Elite mobs are hostile mobs that are tricky to kill. Some of the elite mobs of AbyssalCraft are listed below:

• Dreadguard, a large and powerful mob known to guard Cha’garoth’s lair.
• Spectral Dragon, a mob that spawns in the Abyssal Wasteland and behaves similarly to the Ender Dragon. It is able to phase through most materials and heals Asorah.
• Shadow Beast, the largest and strongest mob out of the Shadow Beings,
• Skeleton Goliath, a tall skeleton with a Cudgel as it’s weapon. The Skeleton Goliath spawns in the Abyssal Wasteland.
• Fist of Cha’garoth, a mob that is only spawned by Cha’garoth.

Boss Mobs

Boss mobs are the most powerful mobs in Abyssalcraft. They are listed below:

• Asorah, The Fallen, the first boss in AbyssalCraft. It spawns Spectral Dragons to heal itself. This boss is summoned in the Abyssal Wastelands.
• Cha’garoth, The Dreadbeast, the second boss in AbyssalCraft. It spawns Spawn of Cha’garoth and Fist of Cha’garoth to help itself. This boss is summoned in the Dreadlands.
• J’zahar, Gatekeeper of the Abyss, the third boss in AbyssalCraft. When J’zahar is killed, it will create a big explosion. This boss is summoned in Omothol.
• Sacthoth, Harbinger of Doom, an optional boss in AbyssalCraft. It spawns all types of Shadow beings. This boss is usually summoned in the Dark Realm, but can be summoned in other dimensions.

Anti-Mobs

When a mob or the player gets killed by Liquid Antimatter, which deals 5 points of damage every half-second upon contact, an anti version of the killed mob is generated. Anti-mobs are stronger than its normal variant, and will explode when touching the normal version of the mob.

What are templates?[]

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. ). Clicking the template name takes you to the template’s page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:

1. a subpage using {{documentation}}; or
2. the template page itself (inside «noinclude» tags); or
3. the template’s talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.

General wiki templates[]

Clear

{{clr}}, plus {{clrl}} and {{clrr}}

• This template is used to reduce the amount of non-wikicode used on pages, replacing the code . Its use should generally be avoided.
• You can use {{clr}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so the following stuff doesn’t begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
• You can also use {{clrl}} or {{clrr}} to clear only left or right floats.

{{for|<name>|<link>}}

Use at the top of articles as a simple «for x see y» template.

{{main|<main article>}}

Use at the start of a section to link to the main article on it.

Right-aligned Table of Contents

{{tocright}}

This template floats the table of contents (toc) on the right. It should only be used when absolutely necessary, to keep consistent design.

{{sandbox}}

A template that should be used to head up all Project:Sandbox pages.

{{t|<template>}}

This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.

Welcome

{{welcIP}} and {{welcome}}

• The first (with longer version «welcomeIP» for those of you who like typing more) is to welcome new non-vandalistic contributors who are «anonymous», identified only by their IP number; it encourages them to register.
• The second template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
• The above two templates are very suitable for having «subst:» prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about «how to edit».

Wikipedia

{{wikipedia}}, {{wikipedia-deleted}}

Wikipedia-related templates. Use {{wikipedia}} for articles taken directly from Wikipedia, and {{wikipedia-deleted}} for articles deleted from Wikipedia.

Biomes

AbyssalCraft introduces various biomes to the Overworld.

Darklands

Darklands is a biome with purple grass and Darklands Oak Trees. Darkstone and Abyssalnite are found under the Darklands. This is the only biome in the overworld where Abyssalnite spawns underground.

There are 4 variants of the Darklands biome: Darklands Plains, Darklands Forest, Darklands Mountains and Darklands Highland. The Darklands Plains have less trees and is flatter, the Darklands Forest have a lot more trees, the Darklands Mountains consists of Darkstone mountains, and the Darklands Highland have elevated terrain and less trees. Depths Ghoul and Abyssal Zombie spawns in all variants of the Darklands.

Staying for a prolonged amount of time will inflict temporary blindness on the player; this can be changed in the mod’s configuration file.

Coralium Infested Swamp

The Coralium Infested Swamp is a biome with teal grass and many Liquid Coralium pools. Vanilla Minecraft trees are found here, but with turquoise leaves. Liquid Antimatter pools spawn under this biome. Depths Ghoul and Abyssal Zombie spawns in the Coralium Infested Swamp.
