Dimensional Doors - Gates to Other Dimensions
Dimensional Doors is a port for Minecraft 1.12+ of the original development by Stevenrs11, which was maintained up to version 1.6.4. This addon provides access to amazing interdimensional gates leading to pocket dimensions with diverse landscapes - from intricate mazes to treasure vaults and deadly traps.
Embark on an exciting journey through parallel realities, but be cautious: one mistake could lead you to the mysterious Limbo dimension, from which escape won't be easy!
Types of Gates
Oak Dimensional Doors: Simple to craft but limited in capabilities. In dungeons, they typically return to the previous pocket dimension, but sometimes can return to the original dimension.
Iron Dimensional Doors: Create new empty pocket dimensions - black voids where you can build anything: from a small house to an entire city!
Quartz Dimensional Doors: Similar to iron ones, but all such gates lead to the player's personal pocket dimension.
Gold Dimensional Doors: Expensive to craft but worth the cost. Provide access to dungeons filled with treasures, puzzles, and traps.
Unstable Dimensional Doors: Crafted using an Eye of Ender instead of an Ender Pearl. Randomly lead to rifts or other doors.
Through NBT data, any door can be configured to create a specific type of rift when placed.
Spatial Rifts
Rifts are fractal tears in the fabric of reality. They form when dimensional doors are destroyed. To pass through a rift, you can place a door on it or use a rift blade.
Rifts naturally grow over time. For controlling their growth, a rift stabilizer (stops growth) and rift remover (closes oversized rifts) are used.
Tools and Weapons
Rift Signature: Creates a pair of interconnected rifts
Stabilized Rift Signature: First use binds to a location, subsequent uses create rifts leading to that point
Rift Blade: Teleports attacked entities several blocks away. Right-clicking on a rift allows entry without using a door
Dungeons and Dimensions
Dungeons are special pocket dimensions filled with treasures, puzzles, and traps. They can be accessed through rare gateway structures in the world or by using gold dimensional doors.
Fabric of Reality: Black blocks that absorb light. Can be replaced with other blocks or mined with silk touch. Have various variations - altered fabric (colored versions), ancient fabric (indestructible black material), and eternal fluid (helps escape from Limbo).
Limbo: A dark, foggy dimension with monoliths, where players who died or tried to cheat the system in dungeons end up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I catch fire when leaving a pocket dimension? A: This is a vanilla game bug, fixed in versions 1.17+
Q: When entering Limbo, I lose all my items. Is this intended? A: In the current version, the only way to enter Limbo is by provoking a monolith. Losing items upon death with keepInventory turned off is standard game behavior.
Q: How to change the spawn rate of dungeon gateways? A: Gateway generation, like other world generation, is now configured through datapacks.
