Beneath the Wetlands

!(https://images2.imgbox.com/75/95/cmjtfq6m_o.png) >Have you ever had nightmares of vast ancient swamps waiting and calling? And of strange machines moving beneath their surface? Gigantic rusty gears, pistons and pipes. Wandering blue lights that lure strangers into the mire. The atrocious amalgam of living metal and rotting plants... ## About <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/z0j8H5Puzkk" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> <br></br> **Beneath the Wetlands** is a Fabric vanilla-style mod created by the **Birchfolks** team and inspired by a creepypasta. It focuses on expanding the content related to swamp biomes. The mod adds new mobs, blocks, items and structures. **BtW** is under development and more features will come in the future. (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) and (https://modrinth.com/mod/geckolib) are required. **BtW** is compatible with world-generation mods, even those that add new biomes (for the structures to generate in them, names of these biomes must be put manually in the config file). Currently **BtW** supports the following languages: <center> English | Polish | Russian | Ukrainian </center> <br> Since the translations may not be 100% and we aim to add more languages, we are seeking for community help. If you want to translate the mod into your language, feel free to contact us on Discord.
