# Abyss Section

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Abyss is still in development. What is on this page exists in the mod today, but it changes a lot from one version to the next and there is no normal way to get there yet.
{% endhint %}

The Abyss is the third part of the mod: a dimension at the bottom of the sea, dark, deep and full of things that were never meant to see a submarine. It is the reason the rest of the mod exists. Your hull has to hold if you want to come back up.

## The dimension

* It is 768 blocks deep, always at night, with almost no light. Beds and respawn anchors do not work.
* Its sea floor is covered with lianas that sway and react to what passes through them.
* **Geothermal vents** dot the bottom. Hot water rises from them, and the plume of a vent under water gives you back air if you swim right above it (up to 4 blocks over the vent). Remember where they are.
* Around the vents you find:
  * **Magma Flow**, which glows in the dark and burns anything that walks on it. Sneak to cross it safely. Out of the water, it also sets you on fire.
  * **Burning Sand**, which keeps smoking.
  * **Burning Wood**, a charred log that works like any other log.

Operators can reach the Abyss with `/submarine abyss`.

## Creatures

| Creature               | What it does                                                               |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Amphistium**         | A small fish that swims in schools. Harmless.                              |
| **Magmatic Snail**     | Crawls around the vents and flees when hit.                                |
| **Giant Isopod**       | Hunts Drowned and Guardians. Hurt one and the whole group comes after you. |
| **Abyssal Cuttlefish** | Spits a cloud of ink when threatened and hurts what is around it.          |
| **Cookiecutter Shark** | Small, but it charges players and latches on to bite.                      |
| **Pelican Eel**        | A long eel with a huge mouth, made of several segments.                    |

All of them have a spawn egg in creative mode.
