# ~~`the_backrooms`~~ > *If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms* I set off some AI agents to explore how to write level generation plugins. After a few days, I came back to this. They did things I didn't ask for. There's levels and levels, and some of the levels have... things in them. The agents say there is a way to escape, but I don't believe them. !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/lobby-shaders.png) | | | | |---|---|---| | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/lobby.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/habitable.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/pipeworks.png) | | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/poolrooms.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/disc_11.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/library.png) | | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/corrupted.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/poolrooms-2.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/far.png) | | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/glowstone.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/gold.png) | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/twilight.png) | --- # Plugin Info (warning: spoilers) This is an in-development survival horror plugin inspired by the (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Backrooms) and minecraft "lore". It adds 11 unique levels, with more to come. Suggestions are welcome. Players are pulled out of normal gameplay through various triggers and dropped into a series of procedurally generated liminal levels. Each level has its own world generator, atmosphere, entities, and exit conditions. The plugin tracks per-player state, escalates difficulty over time, and includes a custom advancement tree. # NOTE: **THIS SOFTWARE IS IN PRE-ALPHA AND PROVIDED AS-IS** **SERIOUSLY, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR WORLD!** Jokes aside, this plugin may break your saves. I suggest using it on a fresh server and letting players discover things for themselves. it comes with an advancements system to give some hints and guidance. Feedback on the difficulty would be appreciated. !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/advancements.png) ## Levels All level parameters (generation, events, entities, exits) are configurable in `levels/level_*.yml`. | Level | Name | Screenshot | Description | Entry | Exit | |-------|------|------------|-------------|-------|------| | 0 | The Lobby | !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/def9a2a4/backrooms/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/lobby.png) | Infinite office space corridors lit by ochre froglights.
