I don't know why, but the idea of making a hole in an end portal frame and shoving a heart of the sea into it to make the portal lead elsewhere reminds me of that "Please, don't touch anything" game
@@jericho9510 I don't really get this idea you are talking about. If it has anything to do with the shoving part, I'm pretty sure they already have plenty of ideas involving that action.
One of my favorite ambients was the scream of the Leviathan Grandgousier when it spawns in. It’s very intimidating and gives that “Oh sh*t…” feel in your bones. I also like the chomping sound effect and how the noise would dampen when you’re far away. Hearing that chomp from afar gives you a heart attack and can also be good cinematography when watching your friend get eaten like in the first video in Winsweep’s POV. That *ding* sound effect when you place the password on the thing. It sounds hella good. I can’t even describe how good it sounds.
I feel like I can actually taste the chlorine and feel the damp air in my skin in the upper levels… and then my chest tightened in the abyss level. Phenomenal ambience I was immersed the whole way through!
this video is in the same category as videos with dancing veggies for kids. same vibe i'm getting, i even forgot that i was eating ice cream. R4T, you did a great job with this mod.
god this dimension is so damn cool, i would honestly kill to write an original piece of fiction based on it someday. thank you for this video!!! the ambience and visuals are amazing
Honestly, I really hope the idea behind the “end portal frame hole” gets expanded upon. Because the idea of being able to access entirely new dimensions by placing something in said hole sounds awesome. And also, I love this Poolrooms dimension. Genuinely so cool, and I love how genuinely tense / terrifying Level 3 is / can be.
Do we know for a fact it'll even be released to the public? Some of RAT's older mods (ex. Clown Scythe) are still locked behind a paywall. Not saying that's a bad thing, but I'm just skeptical that Neverend will be released for free. If you have any proof, I'd appreciate it.
@@radi_7 RAT said it on his Twitter/X account, "seeing all this hype around Neverend really makes me want to update it and make it available publicly earlier than planned so that creators can make content on it" (on Dec 7, not sure if posting link is allowed, so no link but enough informations for you to find it)
I feel like a lot backroom/liminal space-like games fail to actually make you feel the off feeling you usually would get in liminal spaces. And despite this just being minecraft graphics, it's absolutely amazingly done. I usually don't set my expectations too high whenever I see attempts of the backrooms/liminal space in minecraft, but wow this really just- it's so so good?? I would love to see more of what you can do with these kind of ambience. I'm like on my knees, this is genuinely so cool
honestly, huge props to rat for being able to consistently make original content for so long. as a modder myself i know how much time and brains go into making mods and it's impressive how all of these mods in the videos are such high quality from the get go.
I never realized how delightful the sonar ping sound was, especially the way you have it attenuate as you move away from the scanner, and how it fades completely just as you start to transition back to the overworld. *chef kiss* masterpiece.
I still can't get over how much time you've put into this mod, I'm a sucker for good ambience. This was a delight to watch and to listen to the ambience. That made my brain produce happy chemicals. Thanks for this Rat! :3
The quality of the ambience in this dimension is insane! Getting things to sound like what you expect them to be is actually really hard, and I feel like you absolutely nailed it. Being stuck in this watery world alone, with only the sounds of your footsteps and the ambient noises for company (at least until you hit level 3), would be an absolutely alienating and surreal experience...just as it's meant to be. Combine that with the stellar visuals, and I _really_ want to see someone try to tackle this in VR. I can only imagine what kind of an experience that would be.
Absolutely great work. What I came here to comment about is the mind-meltingly satisfying cut at 11:43, tho. At first I had to make a double take to see it but the way the walkway blends between shots...
I think it would be funny if, when no one online is in the dimension or no one is in the dimension, online or offline, with an auger, it generates a new dimension with a new random seed
How this would work, probably: Detect the structure the player is currently in, then use that to repaste it around them, then regenerate the whole dimension around that spot, The player wouldn't see if anything changed until they start moving around again. Multiple players logging off in different areas will spawn in an unloaded part up the map when logging back on while being in the same room they left off on, allowing for a sort of 'lost' mechanic, if the party splits up then they'll be seperate in a likely permanent way unless if one has a way to track the other.
Gotta love the skybox of level 2 In level 1 while the pool is bit uncanny, its still bright and sunny Level 2's sunset gives you a feeling that its "closing time" and that you definitly should not be here anymore
A while ago I read a short paragraph on how music can change how something feels, like playing a clip of a shark with the jaws tune vs the song happy Ever since then I've been thinking about why the sound design of games I play was made to be like it is. I feel like the poolrooms ambience are the perfect embodiment of liminality, making it sound like you're all alone, just in some childlike dream world where everything goes nowhere and nowhere is everywhere
I know you've already spent a ton of time working on this. I think it's so epic: the ambiance on the first two levels create such a perfect atmosphere, leading into the muted underwater ambience of the third level that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's no wonder everyone was so terrified being down there. I think this effect would be intensified by having the grandgousiers gather around the radar when it's active so players know they need to run as soon as they get the coordinates.
I genuinely think this is one of the best modern dimension mods I've seen- the ambiance is incredible and it feels very contained. It's genuinely very well designed too RAT, I can't wait to be able to experience it for myself and see what else you have planned for the mod. You are amazing!
This truly is your magnum opus! Its gotta be one of the coolest Minecraft mods I've ever seen. I have a question... Are there by chance custom cave sounds? Cause just imagine how terrifying it would be walking through those liminal spaces and just hearing a clang of metal, or a skittering noise, or a splash of water... As if you aren't alone in these halls, but no matter how hard you look you will never find whatever made the noise! Also it would be so cool if the dinging noise (as seen here: 17:04) would attract all of the nearby angler fish (I forgot what they were called sadly) to that location, forcing the player to hurry away from it!
I hope you make more liminal space mods because omg I love the atmosphere! I think it would be cool to make one like this expect there's random events that can happen based on chance but it only effect small things. Things that have a logical explanation probably but due to the isolation it feels more paranormal.
there already exists a backrooms mod for minecraft, but i genuinely think r4t should make his own version with all the ambience and everything and without cheap scares. i think he could rly make u *feel* isolated in those places. and as a bonus could tie it into this pool dimension mod to have it be an alternate entrance into it of sorts
that would be neat, but from the video where he made it, it forces a shader when you load in, so he'd have to make new blocks or find someway to get everyone to use said shader/force said shader in that part of the world
@@ghostwriter5685Would still need those shaders though. Not sure if it's possible, but I like the idea. Question is, how would *you* implement it if you got the chance? Imagine you have a team of very cool coders (including rat). Doesn't seem super easy to implement in a non-intrusive way, besides maybe having parts in the ocean have remnants of it. Brainstorming for this is fun.
This mod is incredible, the ambience, the generation with no major flaws, textures, progression, design, everything is really nice! I hope you update it more and more, there is not many mods about liminal spaces or anything related to that with that awesome quality! Imagine the other liminal spaces like dream world (where you have a bunch of mountains and exactly equal houses, just like a dream), or the lost playground in the darkness, or even the Hotel with unsettling design! All of those are some ideias that fit well with this mod :D
*Feedback:* 1) On level two you should make the volume of the ambiance increase and decrease randomly, with the randomness based on the player's coordinates. (So it's always certain volume in a given spot.) This would make the player think that they're getting closer to/further from that trickling water. 2) You should give the Anglerweed Bulb item entity dynamic lighting aswell because it just seems weird that it stops glowing when the block is broken, and starts glowing again when the item is picked up. 3) 07:40 That room is awesome! The fact that you can't see what is inside the openings on the sides, and you have no way of checking is just perfect for making the player feel small and insignificant. Just like in the backrooms. 4) Make the Level 2 ambiance slightly (very slightly) muffled, when the player is wearing the diving suit. (Only the Level 2 ambiance. The Level 3 ambiance already accounts for the diving suit.) 5) This would be really over the top: but why not make the player stop seeing the block selection outline when they get to Level 3? In this level the outline contrasts heavily with the black background, and it does break the immersion a little bit. It's a reminder that you're still playing Minecraft.
Agree with most, but the whole reminder you're playing Minecraft thing.. did you forget about the HUD, you silly goose? He did say he's going to be polishing all of it and working on it more before he releases it (somewhere after content smp season 2 starts is rat's estimated release date so far, could change, you know how coding can be lol)
@@ledog9979 The reason I said that it's breaking immersion a little bit is because it's in the center of your screen, and that's where you're looking in the majority of the time. And also because it is the least necessary to be on screen: you need to be able to see your health, hunger and hotbar (he could hide the XP bar too now that I think about it), but you don't really need the selection outline, since you 1) already have the crossair, and 2) you won't be breaking blocks down there anyway. But yes, the HUD is also detracting from the experience. The Auto HUD mod can be the solution for that.
@@tyronorxy5646 Fair. I think it should stay since you have to break something at some point and use it to input codes, but cross hair is still a thing, so it all works out. Just thinking if the mod will be publicly released, just make it a setting instead of built in, and keep outlines on by default. Some people who aren't used to Minecraft might get confused. Hiding some of the HUD elements would be a good call, or having it hide itself. Rat is one of those little coders, he could definitely code it into the mod itself.
@@ledog9979 I agree that it would be best as a toggleable optional feature. I also think that people who are not used to Minecraft are not going to play with mods that change the gameplay. (At least if they aren't being trolled by their friend who's helping them install Sodium.)
@@tyronorxy5646 I mean.. it's fun. I'd do it any chance I got, and you bet I'll be terrorizing people with this mod when it comes out, so there's definitely people that are gonna need to go through that. I think this mod is gonna turn out amazing though, I'm excited to see what rat adds. More options never hurts. Side note, this has to be the most civil debate in RUclips comment section history. 80% of the time I open RUclips comment threads, it is pure brain rot.
I cannot emphasize how much I adore this mod. If there were multiple biomes (and I hadn’t spoiled myself on the mod already) then I think I could get lost wandering these corridors for hours and hours. Its so pretty, even at it’s scariest.
Horror dimension or not, this is calming and I'm going to sleep to this, wish me luck Edit: That was the weirdest dream I ever had. I haven't had a dream since almost 10 years ago-
I absolutely adore the rising tension as you go lower.The mod has such a good emotional progression from almost peaceful to absolute dread that snaps to relief once you escape
Tbh i didnt know i would complete the video to its end cuz i mostly dont like quite videos but this mod was so incredibly calming and good i absolutely loved it amazing job r4t u absolutely cooked with that mod and gl on future mods❤
Man the visuals of your liminal pools are amazing plus each level just invokes a different feeling just with the atmosphere and ambiance like level one looks like a paradise and place where everyone would want to live in because of its beauty meanwhile level three literally looks like some sort of lovecraftian world with eyes just starting at you from a distance watching you and your every move and step and with the occasionally blinking it feels like those statues are alive but they only they can do is just watch and blink nothing more then that it just really invokes that sense of being watch from a far and also with the angler weed being the only source of light along with the eyes you really just get that feeling of there’s something out there in the dark and that it’ll get you if you stray to far from the light it’ll attack you and also the pool fish being the only friendly creature with you in the liminal pools is just something plus I like how the grandgouiser looks like and angler fish and that it perfectly blends in with the angler weed at the bottom level along with the fact that the grandgouisers that we see are just juveniles and that we don’t know how big the adults are just really hammers in the thalassophobia (and that’s is why I’m never swimming in the deep parts of the pool or ocean again jk) and in my opinion thalassophobia is true horror and I like this mod for that reason and long with the ambience and visuals man you have just out done yourself with this one and that’s something I can respect and appreciate
I love Minecraft dimension mods. This is so cool. The textures and visuals are very nice. Also, the ambience is extremely nice as well. I pay attention to stuff like that too and do have to say, it sounds nice/calming.
I love this mod, i hope it gets an update soon. Sadly i cant put the beta version on my server because of how much ram it eats up, and its incompatibility with certain world gen mods. Nevertheless, i love the ambiance and also the mods ability to scare the shit out of me and to give me a sense of being hopelessly lost. Keep up the amazing work RAT!
First, Love this mod in everyway. Second, I love how even though it is so calming the splashing in the pools makes me feel like when I turn around I will just see some monster swim at me. So. Awesome!
This is the best liminal space mod for Minecraft without a doubt! I've tried my fair shar and they've always been lame. Trying to make something empty without it being boring is a terriblely hard hurdle to jump but you managed it and made one of the best liminal experiences outside of actually walking around an empty hotel. Months ago I tried to make my own liminal dimension mod and I failed giving me a much greater appreciation for you modders who make it look easy! Great job to you and the others who helped!
the sounds in the third level sound like theres something more in the water then the grandgousiers like something is watching from afar and the closer you try and get to it the further away it is and its terrifying
you should add more levels, i'd think it'd be cool, and if you dont notify the prisoners, then theyll be in a world of horror thinking it was really infinite. you could make your own minecraft backrooms thing.
I think more levels might actually harm the experience because what rat has made already has such a good build-up of somewhat calming to unnerving to scary adding more stages before or after that feels reductive
@@mechaflood2247 i mean one level could act as "oh you're ba k in the real world but your in an infinite... ocean?" like at first level 4 will be a minecraft ocea, just regular, with a few islands, and right after any of the exits it starts to turn into more poolrooms, such as, the islands are made from level 1 and 2 tiles, it turns more artificial, etc. lvl 5 could be something unerving but theres nothing there to kill you, like lvl 1 at night, with eyes, or hallucinations that dissapear when you look at them. and do more ideas for other levels. that would be the BEST way to keep a secret. and if word spreads around, there could be almost sub-levels to send them to, like a level with dirt on top, then pool tiles all below. or a water park underground, so if they do try to find out where the already trapped people are, they won't. sorry for putting an essay, just blurted some ideas.
Level Three reminds me a lot of SOMA which for anyone who doesn't know is an underwater horror game from 2015. I highly suggest giving it a try or at least a watch
yknow what could make this the perfect survival scenario? random bits of loot and supplies scattered around, with rare open spaces where players can build shelters to hide from whatever threats may exist within the pools, most likely fellow survivors
omfg I was actually wondering if the background music in all the videos I saw of this was in the game or done in post. Glad to see one just letting the creepy poolrooms be creepy poolrooms.
Ngl, you really can make it more unsettling and scary by giving the wanderers a FEELING that they're not alone in the poolrooms, when they really are. You can just throw in some scary sounds into some rooms. Some sounds like when you reach the end of the corridor and after it suddenly plays it makes you turn around ask "What was that?", or some sound when you gaze into a long dark corridor of level 2 that makes you feel that something is going to go very wrong if you walk that way, when in reality everything is normal as always. You can even add some effects to level 2 that makes it seem that something is watching you, but when you get closer, its just Liminalgea leafs hanging or light reflecting off of somewhere. Have you heard about The man from the fog? The sound of it spawning really can make you panic and even if you can't find him you know he's there and you feel scared, but if that sound plays in poolrooms its going to be even more unsettling. You panic over that sound, swear that you heard something just quietly run over that corner, but you find nothing there
I love the ambients of level 2, almost white noise to me. Not to mention the beautiful aesthetic of the few rooms with the amazing orange sunlight. (As you can see I like this mod)
it was indeed calming and I'm glad you made a video only for the ambiance. but I almost needed a new pair of pants when I remembered what was in the third level.
Ive been playing Minecraft for too long on my free time but I’m new to Minecraft videos on RUclips (building structures and small mod tutorials aside) Nvr seen something like this!! God this is AWESOME!!!
As someone who swims for sport pools at night especially when you can’t see the bottom is so scary. I remember almost freezing in fear during a meet because I was doing backstroke and the water was like 30 feet deep. Love the atmosphere. I can feel how cold the water is and the chlorine taste. Also the smell and how it burned your eyes, the fish remind me of those videos of people cleaning out pools and finding fish in them
If you haven't played it yet already, you should play Returnal. There's so much of this kind of ambiance like you made that it's basically a mystical experience in its own way
I know you made this as a prison, but it's super cool you clearly worked hard on this and it should really be revisited! *So please make a secret 4th level!*
Seeing what you've done here, I can only imagine what you could pull off using the immersive portals mod or something similar. I've seen people do some crazy nonsense with those mods. No more needing to worry about rooms fitting within logical space or directly connecting with each other.
I totally think u should continue on this mod, I feel it could be alot better with more gameplay, Also you should make Crafting Recipes for the items in the mod!
suggestion for ambience, add randomly generated distant groans from the gargantuar on level two it would add more subtle uneasiness like something's there with you (well made mod
I really enjoyed the Ambience in your video even though it was hard to hear. I originally thought you got some sample audio from online to overlay on your video but when I saw the others point of view and heard the ambience I started to think the ambience was really well made. I’d love to see you do more with this mod and maybe even trap more people in it.
God, level three makes this nightmarish dimension even worse considering how small it makes people feel, and the grandgousier's roar makes my spine tingle. Amazing work r4t, can't wait to see what the future holds. edit: NOOOOOO THE POOR POOLFISH 12:17 i liked that one ;-; i named it jimmy.
0:45 - Level One
5:03 - Level Two

Imagine the other liminal spaces like dream world (where you have a bunch of mountains and exactly equal houses, just like a dream), or the lost playground in the darkness, or even the Hotel with unsettling design! All of those are some ideias that fit well with this mod :D
*Feedback:*
1) On level two you should make the volume of the ambiance increase and decrease randomly,
with the randomness based on the player's coordinates. (So it's always certain volume in a given spot.)
This would make the player think that they're getting closer to/further from that trickling water.
2) You should give the Anglerweed Bulb item entity dynamic lighting aswell because
it just seems weird that it stops glowing when the block is broken, and starts glowing again when the item is picked up.
3) 07:40 That room is awesome! The fact that you can't see what is inside the openings on the sides, and you have no way of checking is
just perfect for making the player feel small and insignificant. Just like in the backrooms.
4) Make the Level 2 ambiance slightly (very slightly) muffled, when the player is wearing the diving suit.
(Only the Level 2 ambiance. The Level 3 ambiance already accounts for the diving suit.)
5) This would be really over the top: but why not make the player stop seeing the block selection outline
when they get to Level 3? In this level the outline contrasts heavily with the black background, and it does
break the immersion a little bit. It's a reminder that you're still playing Minecraft.
Agree with most, but the whole reminder you're playing Minecraft thing.. did you forget about the HUD, you silly goose?
He did say he's going to be polishing all of it and working on it more before he releases it (somewhere after content smp season 2 starts is rat's estimated release date so far, could change, you know how coding can be lol)
@@ledog9979 The reason I said that it's breaking immersion a little bit is because it's in the center of your screen, and that's where you're looking in the majority of the time.
And also because it is the least necessary to be on screen: you need to be able to see your health, hunger and hotbar (he could hide the XP bar too now that I think about it), but you don't really need the selection outline, since you 1) already have the crossair, and 2) you won't be breaking blocks down there anyway.
But yes, the HUD is also detracting from the experience. The Auto HUD mod can be the solution for that.
@@tyronorxy5646 Fair. I think it should stay since you have to break something at some point and use it to input codes, but cross hair is still a thing, so it all works out. Just thinking if the mod will be publicly released, just make it a setting instead of built in, and keep outlines on by default. Some people who aren't used to Minecraft might get confused.
Hiding some of the HUD elements would be a good call, or having it hide itself. Rat is one of those little coders, he could definitely code it into the mod itself.
@@ledog9979 I agree that it would be best as a toggleable optional feature.
I also think that people who are not used to Minecraft are not going to play with mods that change the gameplay. (At least if they aren't being trolled by their friend who's helping them install Sodium.)
@@tyronorxy5646 I mean.. it's fun. I'd do it any chance I got, and you bet I'll be terrorizing people with this mod when it comes out, so there's definitely people that are gonna need to go through that.
I think this mod is gonna turn out amazing though, I'm excited to see what rat adds. More options never hurts.
Side note, this has to be the most civil debate in RUclips comment section history. 80% of the time I open RUclips comment threads, it is pure brain rot.
I love the heart of the sea on the ender portal frame noisee
I cannot emphasize how much I adore this mod. If there were multiple biomes (and I hadn’t spoiled myself on the mod already) then I think I could get lost wandering these corridors for hours and hours. Its so pretty, even at it’s scariest.
Horror dimension or not, this is calming and I'm going to sleep to this, wish me luck
Edit: That was the weirdest dream I ever had.
I haven't had a dream since almost 10 years ago-
3:41 Marine Biologists collecting newly discovered life
My man literally decided to do Minecraft horror ASMR
And it's the best thing
love this, i could watch walking through these spaces for 10 hours straight. it´s so calming
I just saw the syszee video, super exited we're getting even more NeverEnd content 🎉
I have an idea, you could make the grand gousiers sit still at random intervals to make them easier to mistake for just another piece of angloweed
RAT, you have truly outdone yourself in this mod, it's incredible :0
I absolutely adore the rising tension as you go lower.The mod has such a good emotional progression from almost peaceful to absolute dread that snaps to relief once you escape
Tbh i didnt know i would complete the video to its end cuz i mostly dont like quite videos but this mod was so incredibly calming and good i absolutely loved it amazing job r4t u absolutely cooked with that mod and gl on future mods❤
This is amazing every sound feels like they all mix so well and its really nice to just have it going in the back while doing something
This video scratched a part of my brain, very calming and just really nice to listen to, 10/10 ambience
Man the visuals of your liminal pools are amazing plus each level just invokes a different feeling just with the atmosphere and ambiance like level one looks like a paradise and place where everyone would want to live in because of its beauty meanwhile level three literally looks like some sort of lovecraftian world with eyes just starting at you from a distance watching you and your every move and step and with the occasionally blinking it feels like those statues are alive but they only they can do is just watch and blink nothing more then that it just really invokes that sense of being watch from a far and also with the angler weed being the only source of light along with the eyes you really just get that feeling of there’s something out there in the dark and that it’ll get you if you stray to far from the light it’ll attack you and also the pool fish being the only friendly creature with you in the liminal pools is just something plus I like how the grandgouiser looks like and angler fish and that it perfectly blends in with the angler weed at the bottom level along with the fact that the grandgouisers that we see are just juveniles and that we don’t know how big the adults are just really hammers in the thalassophobia (and that’s is why I’m never swimming in the deep parts of the pool or ocean again jk) and in my opinion thalassophobia is true horror and I like this mod for that reason and long with the ambience and visuals man you have just out done yourself with this one and that’s something I can respect and appreciate
I love Minecraft dimension mods. This is so cool. The textures and visuals are very nice. Also, the ambience is extremely nice as well. I pay attention to stuff like that too and do have to say, it sounds nice/calming.
I love this mod, i hope it gets an update soon. Sadly i cant put the beta version on my server because of how much ram it eats up, and its incompatibility with certain world gen mods. Nevertheless, i love the ambiance and also the mods ability to scare the shit out of me and to give me a sense of being hopelessly lost. Keep up the amazing work RAT!
I'm not sure if this was a pint of inspiration or just a coincidence, but this dimension really reminds me of Neon White,
First, Love this mod in everyway. Second, I love how even though it is so calming the splashing in the pools makes me feel like when I turn around I will just see some monster swim at me. So. Awesome!
This is the best liminal space mod for Minecraft without a doubt! I've tried my fair shar and they've always been lame. Trying to make something empty without it being boring is a terriblely hard hurdle to jump but you managed it and made one of the best liminal experiences outside of actually walking around an empty hotel.
Months ago I tried to make my own liminal dimension mod and I failed giving me a much greater appreciation for you modders who make it look easy! Great job to you and the others who helped!
the sounds in the third level sound like theres something more in the water then the grandgousiers like something is watching from afar and the closer you try and get to it the further away it is and its terrifying
This would be awesome paired w the dynamic sound mod. Making it echo-y would really sell the ‘pool’ vibe!
you should add more levels, i'd think it'd be cool, and if you dont notify the prisoners, then theyll be in a world of horror thinking it was really infinite. you could make your own minecraft backrooms thing.
I think more levels might actually harm the experience because what rat has made already has such a good build-up of somewhat calming to unnerving to scary adding more stages before or after that feels reductive
@@mechaflood2247 i mean one level could act as "oh you're ba k in the real world but your in an infinite... ocean?" like at first level 4 will be a minecraft ocea, just regular, with a few islands, and right after any of the exits it starts to turn into more poolrooms, such as, the islands are made from level 1 and 2 tiles, it turns more artificial, etc. lvl 5 could be something unerving but theres nothing there to kill you, like lvl 1 at night, with eyes, or hallucinations that dissapear when you look at them. and do more ideas for other levels. that would be the BEST way to keep a secret. and if word spreads around, there could be almost sub-levels to send them to, like a level with dirt on top, then pool tiles all below. or a water park underground, so if they do try to find out where the already trapped people are, they won't. sorry for putting an essay, just blurted some ideas.
The prisoners have already escaped.
@@yahnmahn9035 well shit.
Make hatches at the bottom of the depths, perhaps?
One thing that could make this even better is the mod that models realistic sounds. Imagine the echo
Honestly the best I've seen from your channel. You really went above and beyond with this
Level Three reminds me a lot of SOMA which for anyone who doesn't know is an underwater horror game from 2015. I highly suggest giving it a try or at least a watch
live footage of rat dunking on winsweep being unable to traverse and escape dangerous, uncanny horror pocket dimensions within mere minutes
yknow what could make this the perfect survival scenario? random bits of loot and supplies scattered around, with rare open spaces where players can build shelters to hide from whatever threats may exist within the pools, most likely fellow survivors
Happy you made this video! It really showcases how much dedication you've put into it!
ah yes. my favorite "ASMR"/ambient sound: 6:25 - Drowning
omfg I was actually wondering if the background music in all the videos I saw of this was in the game or done in post. Glad to see one just letting the creepy poolrooms be creepy poolrooms.
love how it goes from being so claustrophobic to OH GOD SPACE
This is very impressive. I don't even play Minecraft but this makes me want to download it and play it. I'm a huge fan of the pool rooms. =)
Ngl, you really can make it more unsettling and scary by giving the wanderers a FEELING that they're not alone in the poolrooms, when they really are. You can just throw in some scary sounds into some rooms. Some sounds like when you reach the end of the corridor and after it suddenly plays it makes you turn around ask "What was that?", or some sound when you gaze into a long dark corridor of level 2 that makes you feel that something is going to go very wrong if you walk that way, when in reality everything is normal as always. You can even add some effects to level 2 that makes it seem that something is watching you, but when you get closer, its just Liminalgea leafs hanging or light reflecting off of somewhere.
Have you heard about The man from the fog? The sound of it spawning really can make you panic and even if you can't find him you know he's there and you feel scared, but if that sound plays in poolrooms its going to be even more unsettling. You panic over that sound, swear that you heard something just quietly run over that corner, but you find nothing there
I love the ambients of level 2, almost white noise to me. Not to mention the beautiful aesthetic of the few rooms with the amazing orange sunlight. (As you can see I like this mod)
Your first video was so good I had to rewatch it like 3 times! 😭
When you make a great ass mod but it turn out to be a great asmr video.
Anyways, great job!! Love your stuff!
it was indeed calming and I'm glad you made a video only for the ambiance. but I almost needed a new pair of pants when I remembered what was in the third level.
when I did sound design in college, this is the type of audio i liked to look at. Honestly the audio was 9 out of 10. truly soothing to the ears. :)
you made this dimension perfectly, I would have just gave up playing as soon as i got to the abyss. Terrifying
11:44 is the cleanest transition I've ever seen. Well done rat
Please do more of these ambiance walks, it’s so relaxing for someone with anxiety like me.
Ive been playing Minecraft for too long on my free time but I’m new to Minecraft videos on RUclips (building structures and small mod tutorials aside) Nvr seen something like this!! God this is AWESOME!!!
Yeaaaa, my computer doesn’t have the specs to run neverend with the shaders, so this video is greatly appreciated!!!!
As someone who swims for sport pools at night especially when you can’t see the bottom is so scary. I remember almost freezing in fear during a meet because I was doing backstroke and the water was like 30 feet deep. Love the atmosphere. I can feel how cold the water is and the chlorine taste. Also the smell and how it burned your eyes, the fish remind me of those videos of people cleaning out pools and finding fish in them
This feels both like a mod and not a mod. Im very excited to play the polished version when its completed
Merci pour cette vidéo, c'est exactement ce que j'esperais voir sur ce mod. T'es trop fort R4t
If you haven't played it yet already, you should play Returnal. There's so much of this kind of ambiance like you made that it's basically a mystical experience in its own way
Keep the great work!
Kab=panic
Rat=calm
Normal rats live in sewers
Dotor4t lives in liminal pools
I forgot to take my pill today so I was feeling anxious but this video made me calm down a little, thank you.
Omg, why aren’t there anymore of these videos on RUclips!?
*SOMEONE!! GIVE. ME. MORE.*
I watch your video on our main channel and I didn't realise that this mode is sooo calm and it makes me feel better
Imagine having an origins smp with this mod the unlimited possibilities merlings and other aquatic origins would get
I feel like a million dollars after the calming video and am really tired now.
I know you made this as a prison, but it's super cool you clearly worked hard on this and it should really be revisited!
*So please make a secret 4th level!*
Seeing what you've done here, I can only imagine what you could pull off using the immersive portals mod or something similar.
I've seen people do some crazy nonsense with those mods.
No more needing to worry about rooms fitting within logical space or directly connecting with each other.
I totally think u should continue on this mod, I feel it could be alot better with more gameplay, Also you should make Crafting Recipes for the items in the mod!
Thank for this video it gived me alot of ideas for my backrooms levels build!
You know its a good day when Rat uploads :3 love the vid
suggestion for ambience, add randomly generated distant groans from the gargantuar on level two
it would add more subtle uneasiness like something's there with you
(well made mod
When you got to the waterfall room i could smell the chlorine
I really enjoyed the Ambience in your video even though it was hard to hear.
I originally thought you got some sample audio from online to overlay on your video but when I saw the others point of view and heard the ambience I started to think the ambience was really well made.
I’d love to see you do more with this mod and maybe even trap more people in it.
God, level three makes this nightmarish dimension even worse considering how small it makes people feel, and the grandgousier's roar makes my spine tingle. Amazing work r4t, can't wait to see what the future holds. edit: NOOOOOO THE POOR POOLFISH 12:17 i liked that one ;-; i named it jimmy.
The amount of times this ambiance has helped me fall asleep is incredible
15:05 You can clearly see that even rat started panicking when it turned out that there is more of them
This video is so cool, its like horror asmr and I kind of love it.
missed opportinity to have halls of just the "glass" that shows the never ending horizon of water and the sun above with no pool tile blocks or water.
