Creative Dimension

Adds a special flat-world dimension designed for creative mode that can be safely used in survival worlds.

Main Concept

Survival players often want to pre-design their buildings or ideas in creative mode before implementing them in the main world. Creative Dimension solves this problem by providing the ability to create portals in your survival world that teleport players to a special creative dimension.

When transitioning between dimensions, all character characteristics are preserved: inventory (including ender chest), experience, health, game mode, and effects. Everything is restored when returning to the normal dimension. This allows testing ideas with friends and continuing to play survival on a vanilla server.

This datapack can also be used in single player.

Installation Features

⚠️ Important note: This datapack uses world generation features that Mojang considers experimental. Installation is simple, but removal requires additional steps.

After placing the datapack in your world's /datapacks folder, you need to completely restart the server or world in single player. A normal reload via /reload will not be sufficient for proper installation.

How to Enter the Creative Dimension

After installing the datapack, you can create a new type of block - the Pot'al. The crafting recipe:

You can plant vegetation in this pot that will grow into a Creative Portal. Various plants are suitable: oak saplings, birch saplings, dark oak saplings, warped and crimson fungi.

Each plant creates a portal of its unique appearance.

View portal variants

After planting the vegetation, a short animation plays, after which the portal is ready for use. To teleport, stand in the center of the portal (where the light block is located).

How to Return from the Creative Dimension

To return to the normal world, you need to drink a slow falling potion or throw it at yourself. The main thing is to get this effect. After a few seconds, automatic teleportation back will occur.

Portal Configuration and Disabling

In creative portals, only one block matters - the light block in the center. All other blocks can be modified to customize the portal's design.

Removing the light block disables the corresponding portal. After that, you can remove the rest of the structure.

Datapack Removal

Since Creative Dimension affects world generation, its removal requires technical knowledge. You can watch the corresponding part of the official video for precise step-by-step guidance.

First, make sure no player is in the creative dimension and no one left the server while being there.

The datapack includes an automatic removal process to clean up its content (except for world generation content). Running the command:

/function pk_cr_di:cmd/uninstall

will remove all pot'als from each dimension, disable all creative portals, and remove all scores and storage associated with the datapack.

If you want to completely remove the datapack from the world, you will additionally need to delete the pk_cr_di folder from the /dimensions folder and clear dimension references in the level.dat file using NBTExplorer.

Reporting Issues

If you encounter problems with the datapack, it is recommended to provide the following information:

• Minecraft version
• Version of the datapack used
• Use of modified versions (Forge, Paper, Spigot)
• List of other datapacks
• Clear description of the problem and how to reproduce it
• Video or screenshots if necessary
