Deeper and Darker: Reaching and Surviving the Otherside
Deeper and Darker expands the Deep Dark and adds a whole new dimension, the Otherside. This guide covers how to get there and the materials you will gather.
The Otherside
The mod's centerpiece is the Otherside, a new dimension full of sculk-themed content to explore. Reaching it revolves around the Ancient Compass, crafted from four 
Warden Carapace and a Compass — carapace that comes from the Deep Dark's guardian, tying the trip to the Warden itself.
Otherside stone and ores
Underground you will mine two dark stones, 
Gloomslate and 
Sculk Stone, each carrying its own ore variants. Their ores smelt normally — a 
Gloomslate Iron Ore or 
Sculk Stone Iron Ore blasts into an Iron Ingot — and if you have Create installed, its crushing wheels double the yield, turning a diamond ore into three Diamond.
Wood and building
The dimension has its own woods, 
Bloom Planks from a 
Blooming Stem and echo wood, giving full plank, stair, slab, door and sign sets for building in the Otherside's palette. From here, the next steps are the two smithing-upgraded gear lines — Resonarium and Warden — each covered in its own guide.
