* The "Library" easter egg dimension in the AprilFools infinity update is a shout out to ''Literature/TheLibraryOfBabel''; both feature infinitely expansive libraries that contain an infinite number of books, full of every single possible combination of characters that fit within the books' length -- and most of which is complete gibberish.

* The paintings in the game are pixellated recreations of works by the artist [[https://zetterstrand.com/ Kristoffer Zetterstrand]], who also did the ''Minecraft'' versions. Some examples:
** Three of the paintings are screenshots of ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' maps. Two of them are of Aztec and captured from outside the map's boundaries, while the third is a normal shot of a bomb site on Dust 2.
** The first 2-tall-by-1-wide painting is Caspar David Friedrich's ''Wanderer above the Sea of Fog''.
** A slightly less-recurring topic is [[VideoGame/KingsQuest King Graham]], as one painting shows him by himself on a black background while another shows him viewing himself in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest''.
** One of the larger paintings features a duel between two fighters from the game ''International Karate+'', and a second features one of the characters holding the finger of a giant hand.
** Another of the larger paintings features instead the [=100m=] level from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''.
** One of the paintings portrays [[VideoGame/GrimFandango Mean Midget]] sitting in what appears to be a large paper boat.

* The End is one big one to Xen from ''VideoGame/HalfLife1''. To wit, the game sees you travel through a portal to [[https://imgur.com/a/Yabum another dimension]] (using components stolen from the inhabitants of said dimension), where you fight the FinalBoss in the form of a giant flying monster with psychic abilities who launches highly damaging purple spherical projectiles at you, and who draws power from various crystals in its chamber to heal. It can't be beaten until they're destroyed. The creature goes up in a huge explosion with lasers shooting out of its body when it is killed, its death teleports the player character to another area where a mysterious otherworldly being rants at them, and it is implied that the monster had enslaved the inhabitants of the dimension you find it in.[[note]]The Achievement for beating the Enderdragon is called "Free The End."[[/note]] Also, the dimension has primitive, OrganicTechnology based cities built into it, but seemingly exists as a bunch of rocky floating islands in a void that can only form any kind of society because the inhabitants have the ability to teleport.
