DeepDarkDimDungeons in FTB StoneBlock 4

DeepDarkDimDungeons is part of the pack's mod list. This pack ships version 1.0.1 of the mod, built for Minecraft 1.21.1.^[1]

Its place in progression is the one thing the pack files confirm. The mod's Deep Dark Catalyst shows up in a quest in the World Engine Tier 4 chapter, so you meet the mod in the later, world-engine part of the questline.^[2]

That quest, "An Ancient Portal" quest, has three tasks: a structure task, handing in the Deep Dark Catalyst, and handing in an Soul Cage. It unlocks only after two earlier quests are complete.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't say how the Deep Dark Catalyst is obtained, what the mod's dungeons contain, or how its dimension works. Check in-game or the quest itself before relying on any of that.

Here's the honest picture: the only thing I can confirm about DeepDarkDimDungeons in this pack is where it sits in the quest book. So this is a short section, and I'm not going to guess at the rest.^[2]

Where the mod shows up in the quests

The mod appears in the World Engine tier 4 quest chapter. The quest "An Ancient Portal" quest has a structure task, an item task for the Deep Dark Catalyst, and an item task for Soul Cage.^[2]

That quest comes after "Meet The Ancient" quest and "Ancient Meet" quest in the chapter, so work through those first instead of jumping straight to the catalyst.^[2]

What to aim for, in order

1. Finish the two quests that come before the catalyst quest in the chapter.^[2]
2. Get hold of the Deep Dark Catalyst, since it is one of the quest's item tasks.^[2]
3. Get the Soulcage, which is the other item the quest asks for.^[2]
4. Complete the structure task in the same quest.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no recipe that produces the Deep Dark Catalyst, so there is no recipe block. They also do not show what the structure task needs, what the dungeons look like, or what the catalyst does. Check the quest in game for those details.

There isn't much I can confirm about how DeepDarkDimDungeons works under the hood in this pack, so this section stays short on purpose. The only thing the sources spell out is one config option.^[3]

In this pack, enableDeepDarkPortals is set to true, so the mod's Deep Dark portals are enabled.^[3]

Unverified Nothing is confirmed about how the portals are built or activated, what the dungeon dimension contains, or whether the mod has machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item handling. The sources include no guidebook, documentation, item descriptions or recipes for this mod, so I can't describe those systems.

This mod only shows up once, in the pack's quest book, so the progression story is short. It sits in the Tier 4 chapter of the World Engine questline, which means you won't meet it until fairly late in your run.^[2]

The Tier 4 quest

The mod's quest is "An Ancient Portal" quest. It has no title in the quest book. It unlocks only after you finish two other quests in the same chapter, so you can't jump straight to it.^[2]

The quest has three tasks. You need a structure task, you need to hand in a Deep Dark Catalyst, and you need to hand in a Soul Cage.^[2]

What the sources don't confirm

Unverified The sources don't say which structure the structure task refers to, and they don't show how to get the Deep Dark Catalyst. No in-pack recipe for it is available, so this guide doesn't describe a way to craft it. The mod also has no other tiers or quests that can be confirmed.

The pack data shows one place where DeepDarkDimDungeons connects with other mods: the Deep Dark Catalyst. It shows up in a pack-added World Engine recipe and in a World Engine quest.^[2][4]

The Deep Dark Catalyst recipe

The pack adds its own Custom Machinery recipe for the World Engine that involves the Deep Dark Catalyst, vanilla Sculk and an Infused Enderpearl. That links this mod to vanilla Minecraft and to RFTools Base.^[4]

The World Engine quest

The catalyst also appears in the quest chapter for World Engine Tier 4. Quest "An Ancient Portal" quest asks for a structure task, the Deep Dark Catalyst and an Soul Cage. It comes after two earlier quests in that chapter.^[2]

In this pack, the mod shows up in one quest, in the World Engine Tier 4 chapter. It's a short section, because that's the only place the sources show the mod being used.^[2]

The quest "An Ancient Portal" quest has no title in the quest file. It has three tasks: a structure task, handing in the Deep Dark Catalyst, and handing in the Soul Cage.^[2]

For order, this quest comes after two other quests in the quest data, so you need to finish both before it unlocks. The tasks are listed in the order structure, Deep Dark Catalyst, then Soul Cage, but the sources don't say whether you have to do them in that order.^[2]

Unverified The quest file doesn't say which structure the structure task asks for, and it doesn't name the two quests that unlock this one or say what they ask for. Check the quest book in-game for those details.

The only config file this pack ships for the mod is the common config, and it holds a single option you can look at: enableDeepDarkPortals. This pack sets it to true.^[3]

• File: config/deepdarkdimdungeons-common.toml^[3]
• Option: enableDeepDarkPortals = true^[3]

Unverified I couldn't confirm the mod's own default for this option, so I can't say whether the pack changed it. I also couldn't confirm any other detail about what the option does beyond its name, so check the in-game behavior before relying on it.
