Our notes on Backrooms: Found Footage

What sets it apart

This pack packages the Minecraft Backrooms Found Footage mod, a Backrooms-themed project, together with supporting mods. The project page calls it a more stable version of the mod with some gameplay changes, though it does not list them.

Entry works by a method the page explains: get buried under a block such as sand or gravel in a new world, and you end up in the Backrooms. The wiki home mentions Level 0 and the Poolrooms.

Beyond the main mod, the list has voice chat, a ping wheel, camera and HUD tweaks, and a mod that adds horror messages.

Who it suits

People who like Backrooms-style liminal spaces and want a ready install on Minecraft 1.20.1. The tags are adventure and multiplayer.

Anyone unsure about the tone should read the wiki first, since the project page says little about content.

Before you install

The pack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. The page warns that the main mod does not support performance mods like Sodium, OptiFine or Vulkan renderers, which can cause trouble on weaker PCs. That is the author’s warning, and no FPS figures are published.

The wiki states that jumping is disabled. The project page and the wiki home give different default keys for the flashlight (F versus R), and the wiki says it documents version 1.0.2 while listing 1.1.0 as current, so check your in-game controls.

No RAM recommendation is published.

Playing with friends

Modrinth marks the pack as optional on both client and server. The wiki recommends the Essential mod for easy world sharing and says other players may be unable to join voice chat, and that downgrading Simple Voice Chat to 2.5.36 was the only fix it tested.

Dedicated servers and Aternos are said to work, with setup help offered through the project’s Discord. On Aternos the wiki says the voice chat port may need changing. A downloadable server pack is not documented.
