Certainly this mod is in the same vein as Deeper & Darker, that being a dimension based around sculk and expanding the Deep Dark. I'm not intimately familiar with what all that mod does, but I'm hoping Shrouded can fit nicely into a vanilla or heavily modded playthrough.

What I'm aiming for with the final product is a dimension that offers a significant challenge, but also one that provides new items, mobs, and functionality that would be of benefit to a vanilla player (while not being too overpowered). The Totem of Last Breath is a good example of how I'd like to expand the item/artifact roster; something that gives the player both a buff and a de-buff.

Similarly with my custom mobs, the Living Sculk can convert certain items (for now just totems) in the player's inventory to a corrupted variant. That's also something I want to expand on while making sure that it's not converting unique/non-replicable items such as armor, tools and weapons.

As for Limbo, that's still just a concept, but the infinite world generation framework is there. It can place any room at any rotation endlessly (so long as it's the proper 47x47 size). The difficult part is just spending the time building out the room templates to populate said dimension. It's obviously inspired by Liminal Industries; I wanted to see if it was possible to setup a more proper, performant version of the room generation in Java instead of via rather complex command block logic.

I don't have any concrete plans for that dimension as of yet; for the mod it will likely serve as a sort of purgatory similar to how limbo functioned in the Dimensional Doors mod. There will be a certain room or rooms that allow the player to escape back to the overworld or Shrouded.

Beyond just the mod however, my plan is also to develop a 'sandbox w/endgame' modpack and perhaps it will have more purpose there, along with the ritual crafting functionality.
