1. INFORMATION ON THE MAP
************************************************************************
This map lets you experience the horror of being stuck in the Backrooms, level 0, the lobby.
A seemingly endless maze of empty rooms and hallways with tacky yellow wallpaper.
The maze has more than 250 rooms, and could take several hours to explore. There are not a
lot of entities, and the danger level is rather low. The light level is high enough that you can
generally see where you are going. (Beware of the darker areas.) This map is about exploring
and experiencing the setting rather than fighting. (Don't try fighting entities you encounter.
It is not likely to go well.)
Here and there you will encounter redstone tricks and traps. They mostly mess with your head
and try to annoy you, frustrate you, or scare you rather than try to kill you.
When exploring a labyrinth, a good rule to follow is choosing in advance either left or right,
and then always turning that direction when you come to an intersection, unless you recognize that
you have been to the spot before and are going in circles.
There is no way to beat this map. No escape. No real ending. That is sort of the point of
the Backrooms. If you end up there, you are not coming back.

2. RULES FOR THIS MAP
************************************************************************
(1) Play in Adventure Mode.
(2) It is best to stay on the hard difficulty setting at all times.
(3) The Brightness setting in Options > Video Settings should be set to default.
************************************************************************
3. INSTALLATION
************************************************************************
Use on Minecraft version 1.21.1. You should use this version rather than a different one, because
otherwise things may not work.
This map does not use a custom texture pack, so you do not have to do anything to install it or
select it.
Use 7-Zip to extract the downloaded Minecraft map to your .minecraft\saves directory.
For example, here is the file path on my PC with Windows 10:
C:\Users\(YourUserName)\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves
So after you install, it will look like this:
C:\Users\(YourUserName)\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves\Stuck in the Backrooms
But what if you can't find it?
This directory may be hidden and invisible on your computer. Once you find it, create a desktop
shortcut to it for future use.
To find it, you may have to do something like this:
Press the Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt) + R, and enter %appdata% into the box.
Click OK and find the ".minecraft" folder. Find the "saves" folder inside it.
