This datapack adds the deeper dark dimension, a new dimension consisting of sculk covered caverns filled with treasure and danger. The dimension adds new loot, new game mechanics, unique items, blocks, many advancements, new structures, enchantments and more.
The Deeper Dark Dimension
The Deeper Dark is the new dimension this datapack adds, and is where most of the datapack's content is found. To enter the deeper dark, you must stand on reinforced deepslate in the portal structure in the center of an ancient city while holding an echo shard. Particles will appear showing you can enter. You can step into the portal and will be transported into the deeper dark. Once you enter the deeper dark, you will need to find another reinforced deepslate and hold your now-enchanted echo shard to leave. Just don't spawn the warden, because if there is a warden nearby, you cannot leave the dimension until it despawns or gets far enough away.
Biomes
Deeper Dark
The deeper dark biome is the main biome and most common biome in the dimension. It is very similar to the deep dark in the overworld, but with a few key differences. It has more sculk, fossils that contain diamonds, blue fog, sculk traps, and ancient villages. All overworld ores will spawn here, including emerald ore. All other biomes in the deeper dark are variants of this biome except the deep oasis.

Deeper Dark Cavern
The deeper dark cavern biome is almost identical to the deeper dark main biome except instead of small caves, the biome is a large cavern, and the only structures are ancient fortresses.

The Volcanic Caverns
The volcanic caverns biome has basalt pillars, lava, magma blocks, gravel, tuff, and ancient debris. It is very similar to the basalt delta biome in the nether. At the center of the biome is a lava river/ravine.

The Amethyst Mines
The amethyst mines biome is covered in amethyst, calcite, and smooth basalt. On top of amethyst blocks, you can find calibrated sculk sensors. Since they are on top of amethyst blocks they will signal to other sensors and shriekers, and even cause chain reactions, but sculk sensors and shriekers spawn less frequently in this biome. Various mining suplies can be found around the biome. The only structure here is the amethyst mineshaft.

The Deep Oasis
The deep oasis is a calm sculk-free biome that spawns at the top of tall caves. Many plants live here, and giant vines hang down from the ceiling. sniffers and their plants will spawn here in sniffer nests; geode shaped caves made of moss and coarse dirt. Underneath this biome there are more shriekers than elsewhere in the deeper dark. No structures spawn in this biome. Credit to peA_sh0ter for helping me design this biome.

The Ancient Dark
The ancient dark is the original home of the sculk. The biome is a large cavernous biome, with thin pillars and ledges. It is surrounded on all sides by an Obsidian Barrier The terrain has been completely converted to sculk several blocks deep and bone block stick up from the from the ground and hang down from the ceiling. The bottom of the biome has lava lakes with soul sand beaches. The biome has red fog and red-tinted water. The sculk in this biome is more advanced. In the ancient dark, sculk is also touch-sensitive. Touching any type of sculk alerts the biome and starts spawning wardens. Unique sculk blocks spawn here with unique abilities. This biome is extremely dangerous. The only structures here are laboratories.
