Poolroom Echo

Quickstart

1. Find The Poolrooms biome — it generates naturally in the Overworld as a sprawling liminal maze of tiled floors and damp yellow walls lit by flickering fluorescent panels.
2. Run /poolrooms kit to grab starter gear before diving in.
3. Use /poolrooms enter or right-click an Echo Locator to begin a timed run. You'll be teleported into the maze.
4. Navigate the procedurally generated rooms, avoid the Poolrooms Stalker, and find the Echo Core block. Right-click it to escape and win.
5. A successful escape rewards you with an Echo Key. Check your progress any time with /poolrooms status, or bail out with /poolrooms reset.

Overview

Poolroom Echo adds The Poolrooms — a liminal, backrooms-inspired biome — directly into your Overworld. It features a fully themed aesthetic (pool tiles, damp yellow walls, fluorescent panels) along with a structured timed-escape challenge, a unique hostile mob, and a handful of special items. It's part exploration biome, part survival puzzle.

How To Use

Commands

Starting a Run

You can trigger a run in two ways:

• Type /poolrooms enter
• Right-click with the Echo Locator item

Both methods teleport you into the maze and start the timer.

Winning

Locate the Echo Core block within the maze and right-click it. A successful escape:

• Cleans up the run area
• Removes session-spawned mobs
• Awards you an Echo Key

Failing or Resetting

If the run times out or you use /poolrooms reset, the session is cleaned up and no Echo Key is awarded.

Abilities And Mechanics

Poolrooms Stalker

The Stalker is a powerful zombie-class monster with boosted stats:

• Does not burn in sunlight — it won't die if somehow exposed.
• Does not convert to a Drowned in water.
• Plays an ambient sound on hit — a subtle audio cue when it lands an attack.
• Spawns naturally only inside The Poolrooms biome; also appears during timed runs.
• Can be summoned anywhere using the Poolrooms Stalker Spawn Egg.

Session Tracking

When a run is active, all mobs spawned by the session (including Drowned and Slimes in timed runs) are tracked. They are fully removed when the run ends — whether by escape, timeout, or reset.

Progression And Strategy

• Use /poolrooms kit before your first run to avoid being caught unprepared.
• Drowned and Slimes actively spawn during timed runs alongside the Stalker — manage crowds carefully.
• The Stalker has a long follow range (34 blocks), so putting distance between you and it is not as effective as it would be against standard mobs.
• The Echo Core is rare within the maze — systematic exploration beats random searching.
• Collect Poolroom Tiles, Damp Yellow Walls, and Fluorescent Panels by mining them in the biome; all drop themselves and make excellent liminal-themed building blocks.
• Echo Keys are only earned on a clean escape — don't reset unless absolutely necessary.
