🌌 Custom Dimensions: The Multiverse Engine

Custom Dimensions is a high-performance, fully server-side mod that lets administrators create an infinite multiverse of custom worlds — no client mods required. Players connect with vanilla Minecraft and experience seamless portal travel, custom dimensions, and immersive particle effects.

Available for 1.21.x (Yarn), 26.1x, and 26.2.x (Mojmap).

Features

🔄 Automatic Two-Way Portal Linking

Step through any custom gateway and the mod instantly creates a return portal at your destination using the same frame material. UUID-based PlayerOrigin tracking sends you back to your exact entry point — never get lost.

🧊 Smart Frame Ignition

Right-click any face of the frame block. The mod scans all 6 adjacent positions and falls back to a 7×7×7 bounding-box search if needed. Supports both configurable default frame blocks (crying obsidian → Overworld, obsidian → Nether, iron block → End) and custom igniter items per portal.

📐 Coordinate Scaling

Portals support configurable scale (via /portal link or config). Create Nether-style 1:8 links, 1:1 overworld connections, or any custom ratio (0.001–1000.0).

🕳️ Void-Safe Placement

Portals work in void dimensions — automatically placed at sea level or 10 blocks above the void floor.

🌈 Immersive Particles

Source zones emit colored portal particles. Target portals also emit matching frame block particles — so both sides glow with your custom RGB color and light level.

🚫 No Duplicate Portals

A 5-block radius check on every teleport reuses existing portals instead of creating new ones.

Configuration

Auto-generated at config/multiverse_config.json:

{
  "frameOverworld": "minecraft:crying_obsidian",
  "frameNether": "minecraft:obsidian",
  "frameEnd": "minecraft:iron_block"

Set which frame blocks create portals to vanilla dimensions without needing a custom igniter.

Portal links are persisted in config/portal_links.json.
