How to download Minecraft Backrooms map?

Backrooms is a popular term in the Minecraft community. It is essentially an endless map of different rooms where you can feel extremely eerie. The liminal space will creep up on you along with occasional sightings of mysterious creatures and unexpected encounters. There are several ways to download a map of these creepy rooms and explore what they hold.

The Backrooms originated from a thread posted on the 4chan website on 12th of May 2019, where an anonymous user asked for others to post disquieting images that just felt weird and eerie. The first photo depicting the Backrooms was uploaded, presenting a slightly tilted image of a yellow-colored hallway.

From there, many modders and map creators have uploaded their own versions of backrooms.
