Puucraft Backrooms

The Puucraft Backrooms, commonly known as the Puurooms, is a massive and randomly segmented empty room maze located in Puucraft. It is impossible to get in unless you got teleported in, or were punished by staff. It is based off of the real life counterpart, The Backrooms, a post on 4chan in 2019.

"If you're not careful and noclip out of Puucraft in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Puurooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist wool, the madness of mono-sandstone, the endless background noise of glowstone at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately 750,000 square meters of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you see someone's nametag nearby, because they sure as hell have seen yours."

The Puurooms consists of 750,000 walk-able blocks, which is about the same scale as Brixworth's protection claim. The full room of the maze is coated with bedrock to prevent anyone from breaking in or out.

Only about 1% of the Puurooms are mapped, and consists of several levels.

Players inside the maze are unable to chat and use commands.

There is a phenomenon in it where at any given moment, a player can get teleported anywhere in the Puurooms. Whether it is 50 blocks away from where you were, the entire opposite side, or a completely different level. It is also possible that certain areas and rooms get blocked off, resulting in some areas to become inaccessible. The music disc 13 will also play.

Levels

Level 1 (The Puurooms)

Known as just The Puurooms, it consists of 250,000 walkable blocks, sandstone walls, yellow wool carpet, and a snowblock/glowstone ceiling. Most players that end up in this level will first start out here. It features some special rooms such as the library, furnace room, a pool room and the bread room. There are also several obsidian blocks with levers on top of them. However, it is unknown if these do anything. Level 1 also consists of many small corridors, and many big rooms. Only about 4% of Level 1 has been mapped.

Level 2 (Poolrooms)

Known as Poolcore or the Poolrooms consists of another 250,000 walkable blocks. Unlike level 1, level 2 is much more open. However, it is more difficult to navigate as players have to swim through the level. The water is only 1 block deep, so it is impossible for players to escape by drowning. The Poolrooms feature some staircases leading to different rooms of the Puurooms, or even different levels. Despite what we know, 0% of the Poolrooms have been mapped. The only 2 ways to enter The Poolrooms is to take the Fun Purple Tunnel from Level 1, or get teleported.

Level 3 (The Basement)

The level's appearance is in the name. 250,000 walkable blocks of a basement made of stone, cobblestone, and occasionally mossy cobble. The level is not very open, similar to Level 1. And the level is dimly lit, but mobs do not spawn. There is very little information about this level, and the only 2 ways to exit this level is to find The Hole which is a hole that takes you back to Level 1, or to get teleported to Level 1 or Level 2. 0% of Level 3 has been mapped.

Level 4 (Factory)

This level is very unknown, and appears to be taking place in a newer version of Minecraft, as it contains walls made of iron bars throughout the level. The level is built out of stone floors, brick/iron bar walls, and a stone slab/glowstone ceiling. The overall size of this level is unknown, but based on the similar style to Level 1, it can be assumed that this level is about the same size, if not larger. The only known way to enter this level is to take an elevator from Level 1.

Level 5 (Office)

This level, along with Level 4 is very unknown. The overall theme of this level appears to be similar to that of an office building, containing bright walls made of clay and quartz, and is very open, unlike Level 1 and Level 3, containing only a few pillars and walls. This level also contains windows, however when looking out these windows, the only thing that can be seen is bright, blue void. Based on the found footage, this level seems to be smaller compared to the other levels, but this is unknown. The only known way to enter this level is to walk down an extremely long hallway from Level 4.

Level 6 (Palace)

This level, along with Levels 4 and 5, is very unknown. The overall theme of this level appears to be some sort of palace or cathedral, with walls made out of sandstone, and grand floors made of wood and what is assumed to be concrete. There is also many chandeliers made of fence and lanterns. Because of this, it is confirmed that certain levels are in different versions. This level is brightly lit, but it seems quite closed off, with very few large, open rooms. Most of the level appears to contain hallways. This level, based on its closed off style, similar to Levels 1, 3, and 4 can be assumed that it is very large. The only known way to enter this level is by taking a dark, stone stair well from Level 5.

Level 7 (Ocean)

This level, is the least known level out of all the discovered levels. It appears to be a massive, water filled level, containing only water and sky. As nothing but water can be seen across the horizon, it is assumed that this level is the largest level discovered yet. However, this is not confirmed. Based on found footage, it is unknown if there are any forms of landmass. The only known way to enter is level, is by glitching through the floor in Level 6, however it may be possible that you can enter this level in all of the other levels.

Lost Players

It is assumed that every player that has once entered the Puucraft Backrooms, has eventually left.

However, the only player who is known to still be stuck in the Puurooms, is Florx_Lord (Florx). Florx was last seen on July 29th, 2022, and has not left the game since. He is unable to chat with anybody, and is unable to leave the game, or get kicked/banned from the moderators. His current playtime is 3,250 hours. The only know we know that Florx is trapped in the Puurooms is through a camcorder found in a ditch near the town of Bluemont. The camcorder's film contained video filmed by Florx, and the video contains 4 new levels, never seen before.

Lore

Found Footage

On July 29th, 2022, a camcorder near the town of Bluemont was discovered in a small dirt ditch. When the film was developed and started, a 7 minute and 36 second long video started to play, recorded by Florx_Lord. The video contains no audio, however, subtitles were enabled during the recording, allowing us to hear who we assume Florx talking, as well as some eerie and disturbing background audio.

During the recording, around a minute in, Florx takes a turn into a dark corridor, that is dimly lit by redstone torches. After walking around, Florx finds an elevator. (This location has never been documented or seen by the builders.)

Surprisingly, the elevator did work, and it ended up taking Florx to an entirely, new, and unknown level, containing a stone floor, brick walls, and occasionally walls made of iron bars. However, iron bars were added in Beta 1.8.

After walking around for a long time, Florx finds an iron door that leads to an extremely long hallway, made out of quartz and clay block walls. The hallway eventually leads to an office building style room and contains windows that view out to nothing. According to the subtitles, jet noises from an airplane can be heard. After wandering around, Florx finds another door that leads to a stairwell.

When Florx exits the stairwell, he is found to be in a massive mansion/cathedral style building containing modern blocks such as lanterns, and what is assumed to be concrete blocks.

Florx, after walking around for a while, fell through one of the floors, and ended up in a massive water/ocean style level, featuring nothing but water surrounding him. Then, the recording ended.

When the footage was shown to TBoneX07 and bluecrafter07, neither of them recognized any of the levels, other than the very beginning of the video.

Exiting the Puurooms

When players get into the puurooms, they will eventually get out. As it happens, the player get teleported to what would be just another room in the Puurooms. However, upon wandering for a few moments, the player turned and saw the Overworld down a hallway. As they walked out of the hallway into the Overworld outside and turned around to see the hallway, it was just a cliffside. No sign of the Puurooms whatsoever.

Escape

So far, there is only one way to exit the Puurooms, and that way is to get teleported into a position where you can get back out.

Longest Stay Inside

The record amount of time from being teleported into the Puurooms to escaping it is TheXLMinecrafter, who spent from January 3rd 2023 to January 13th 2023 inside.

The previous record holder was MauveTheHunter, who spent from July 26th 2022 to August 3rd 2022 trapped inside.
