The Backrooms is a Minecraft Backrooms addon for Bedrock from MintStudios. It adds a new dimension of endless yellow corridors, a parking-structure level, three custom entities and a portal built from crying obsidian. It is made for survival play, and it works on Bedrock only.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.21.100 to 26.30.
What it adds
- An infinite Backrooms dimension that generates without limit horizontally but stays shallow vertically, with repetitive layouts built to get you lost.
- Level 0, with yellow patterned walls, damp carpet and buzzing fluorescent lights.
- Level 1, a huge concrete parking structure with low visibility and echoing sound.
- Transitional zones between the levels, which behave like biomes that feel wrong and shift their layouts.
- Three entities. The Smiler is aggressive and drops rare loot, the Duller is slower and drops crafting materials, and the Hound completes the set.
- An Enemy Detector you craft to sense nearby entities, which reacts to distance and matters most in Level 1.
- Loot hidden in rooms and placed in dangerous areas, from basic supplies to survival resources.
Entering the Backrooms
Build a portal in the shape of a Nether portal from crying obsidian and light it with flint and steel. The portal blocks change their look, and a diamond pickaxe can still break them. Nothing promises a way back once you step through.
How to install The Backrooms
The file is a single .mcaddon, so opening it with Minecraft imports both packs. Switch on the Behavior Pack and the Resource Pack in a new world's settings. If the import fails, the guide to fixing add-ons that will not work covers the usual causes, and the Bedrock add-on install guide covers the basics.
The trade-off is scope. Two levels and three entities make a compact horror add-on, and more levels, smarter AI and deeper survival mechanics are only planned.

Build a portal shaped like a Nether portal out of crying obsidian, then light it with flint and steel. The portal blocks change their appearance once active. A diamond pickaxe can still break them, and the addon gives no promise that you can return.
