Endgame sky dimension for Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 (NeoForge).
Upfall adds a dimension of floating islands above a cloud sea, stuck at dusk. Gravity changes from place to place: updrafts, upward waterfalls, inverted islands you can walk under. It is meant to be reached after the Wither and the End, and adds two gear tiers past netherite, machines, structures with puzzles and a boss.
Recipes show up in JEI (both versions) and EMI (1.21.1) when installed. English and French.
Install GuideME (optional) to get the Sky Almanac, a book covering progression, biomes, creatures, structures, materials, machines and blocks.
- You get one the first time you join a world.
- Lost it? Craft another one from a Book and a Feather.
- Right-click it to open the guide.
Without GuideME the mod works the same, there is just no in-game guide.
- Craft Halo Frames (Netherite Ingot, Purpur Blocks, Light Blue Stained Glass; makes 8).
- Craft a Skyward Key (Nether Star, Elytra, Feathers).
- Build a frame like a Nether portal (4x5 up to 23x23) above Y 200 in the Overworld and use the key on it.
The return portal is always built on an island. Falling into the void sends you back above the Overworld with Slow Falling.
The rare Gilded Ridge is the only source of Levitite.
Across the dimension: Updraft Vents lift you to higher islands, Upfall Cascades flow upward, and gas caves inside the islands are filled with Veil Gas, an invisible gas that hurts without a mask.
Drifting Ruins and Inverted Observatories hold the Nimbusite and Levitite smithing templates.

| Mistjelly: drifts in the cloud sea, stings when hit. | Skygrazer: passive herd animal, breedable. |
Also: Loftkin (traders of the Cloud Hamlets) and Skyray (passive manta ray).
It wakes when the fourth Fold Socket of the Tilted Reliquary is filled. Attacks include sideways pushes, lift-and-slam, boomerang tail segments, dives and a breath that cages you in lattice. Drops the Fold Anchor, the Fold Heart and Fold Shards.

| Nimbusite (tier 1): smithed from netherite. Full set: -75% fall damage. | Levitite (tier 2): smithed from Nimbusite. Full set: no fall damage, double jump, glide. |
- Enchantments: Skywalker (faster in Mist), Uplifted (faster updrafts), Cloudsight (clear vision in Mist), Jumpstart (higher jumps, Levitite boots).
- Quantum Pedestal: adds up to two upgrades per Levitite piece (dodge chance, knockback immunity, bouncing on Mist, double ore mining, shared wounds, death rewind, and more). You have to keep watching the pedestal until the incantation finishes.
- Utility items: Updraft Compass, Nimbus Flask (emergency cloud platform), Rewinding Hourglass, Gravity Sceptre, Fold Anchor, Zipline Handle and Rope.
Kairite Ore pulses; mine it at its glow peak for a Kairite Gear, otherwise you get dust. Gears power the machines, built at the smithing table from blueprints:
- Pneumatic Pipes: travel (or send items) from entrance to exit.
- Gearlift: elevator between gearlifts in the same column.
- Void Tether: catches items falling into the void.
- Rewinder: slowly repairs a tool.
- Hastening Gear: speeds up a furnace or nearby crops.
- Phase Watch: shows the current Chronospire phase.
Some things only move while nobody looks at them: Flicker Shard Clusters jump around the gas cave walls, the Shifting Vault chest relocates, the Quantum Pedestal collapses if you look away. Light or a held light source keeps them still.
