Match the loader and dependencies to your file
The author project was checked October 2, 2026. Its current files include 26.3 Fabric and 26.2 Fabric release 1.1.1, plus 1.21.1 NeoForge release 1.1.0. Select the exact file before checking dependencies; the project-wide loader list combines different branches.
- 26.2 Fabric: Fabric Loader 0.19.3+, Fabric API and GeckoLib 5.5.3+. LambDynamicLights 4.12.2+ is optional.
- 1.21.1 NeoForge: NeoForge 21.1.62+ and GeckoLib 4.6.6+.
- 1.20.1 Forge: Forge 47.2.0+ and GeckoLib 4.4.9+.
- 26.3 Fabric: a current file is listed, but a complete branch-specific dependency list was not established by the reviewed description. Check that file's requirements; do not copy the 26.2 combination.
Where do I download it?
Use Mielon's The Sift on CurseForge, project 1691925. The author describes it as a personal interpretation of the trailers, with its own creatures and rules.
The creator's page has the downloads, file requirements, and changelog. We haven't installed or tested this mod.
Does it use Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge?
As of October 2, 2026, the project lists Minecraft 26.3, 26.2, 1.21.1, and 1.20.1, with Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge files. Open the file page to check which loader it supports for your Minecraft version.
- Make a separate profile for the modded game.
- Match the file's Minecraft version and loader, then install its required libraries.
- Launch a new world first and check that the mod loads.
- Back up your main save before opening it with the mod.
If the game crashes or the portal stays closed
- Game will not start: save the first error; check the file, Minecraft version, loader and required libraries together.
- Special portal blocks are missing: confirm the mod loaded in this profile before rebuilding.
- Blocks exist but the portal does not respond: check the awakening step, note settings and playback order against your release.
- Updating an established world: keep the pre-update backup and test the new combination in a separate profile first.
Opening the Ancient City portal
SirColor's separate showcase has an entrance chapter at 0:42. The creator documents a sound-based sequence using special blocks and notes. Match the instructions to your installed mod release before trying it.
Missing a block from the tutorial? Check that the mod loaded, then look for version or dependency errors in the launcher. Keep a backup before adding or removing mods that change world generation.
Looking for a creature from the video?
SirColor groups the mod's creatures in the chapter starting at 5:04. Use it as a visual reference alongside the creator's notes for your version. The showcase also uses shaders and other mods, so your game may look different.
Which equipment belongs to this mod?
The equipment chapter starts at 6:51. It covers this fan mod, so don't use it as a Dungeons II loot list. Check recipes in your installed release before spending materials; we haven't tested this build.
Can I install it on Bedrock?
These Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge downloads are Java mods. They won't load as Bedrock add-ons on a phone, console, or Bedrock PC installation.
For the official Bedrock dimension, you're waiting for the 2027 update. This project is a separate fan-made version.
