ModernSpace

🌌 ModernSpace

ModernSpace brings personal, fully customizable pocket dimensions to modern Minecraft (Forge 1.20.1).

It is a dedicated Forge 1.20.1 port and modern remaster of the legendary PersonalSpace mod from GregTech: New Horizons.

Craft a portal, place it down to launch the in-game world editor, design your private realm—flat terrain layers, biomes, sky colors, weather, daylight cycles, streets and urban building lots—and step right into your isolated pocket dimension.

💡 Why ModernSpace?

• 🏠 Lag-Free Private Bases: Move heavy machinery, complex automation, and sprawling multiblock setups into dedicated runtime dimensions, eliminating tick lag and FPS drops in the Overworld.
• 📐 Urban Planning & Plot Grids: The built-in streets and lots system provides crisp, configurable grid lines for factory plots, clean base layouts, and multiplayer claims.
• ⚡ Zero Data Pack Hassles: Dimensions are created dynamically at runtime via Infiniverse—no server restarts, dimension registration configs, or data pack reloads required.
• 🛡️ Faithful to GTNH: Preserves original chunk generator algorithms, widget designs, and preset strings, seamlessly converted to modern Minecraft registry IDs and tags.

✨ Features

🌀 Personal Space Portal & Portable Links

• Altar Gateway: Crafted with obsidian and eyes of ender surrounding a diamond block.
• Instant Creation: Placing an unlinked portal directly opens the in-game World Editor GUI.
• Portable Link Memory: Breaking an active portal safely keeps its dimensional destination stored inside the item. Relocate your portal anywhere in the world without losing access to your dimension!
• Automatic Return: Finalizing your settings generates the runtime dimension and automatically spawns and links the return portal.

🎨 In-Game World Editor GUI

• Multi-Layer Terrain Builder: Configure dimension floor layers block-by-block (Bedrock, Stone, Dirt, Grass, or any modded block) with customizable layer heights, search bar, and presets.
• Atmosphere & Visual Controls:
  • Customizable sky color via RGB picker.
  • Toggles for clouds, stars, and weather states.
  • Daylight cycle control: normal 24h cycle, eternal daytime, or eternal night.
• Biome & Vegetation Control: Pick any registered biome and toggle natural tree and flora generation.
• Generation Lock: Terrain generation is safely locked once initialized to prevent chunk corruption. Server operators can grant one redesign via /pspace allow-worldgen-change. Visual options (sky, clouds) can be re-tuned at any time.

📐 Streets & Lots Grid System

• Divides your flat world into an organized urban grid of building lots separated by roads.
• Configurable street widths, lot sizes, and custom road/border blocks (concrete, stone, asphalt, etc.).
• Optional center marker block to easily pinpoint the spawn origin.

⚡ Tech Mod & GregTech CEu Modern Integration

• Solar Power Compatibility (gtceuSolarPanels): GregTech CEu Modern solar panels, solar covers, and solar boilers detect sunlight and generate power inside personal spaces (enabled by default).
• Wildcard Block Rules: Server configs support path globs (e.g., gtceu:*_casing, antiblocksrechiseled:*, #forge:stone).
• Safe Full-Cube Validation: Wildcard block rules automatically validate and restrict to solid full-cube blocks to prevent rendering glitches and server crashes.
• Out-of-the-Box Mod Support: Built-in support for GTCEu decorative blocks, GTCEu lamps, GTO ABS casings, and AntiBlocks Rechiseled.

🎮 Quick Start Guide

1. Craft the Portal: Craft the Personal Space Portal using obsidian and eyes of ender around a diamond block.
2. Place & Configure: Place the portal block down on the ground. The interactive World Editor GUI will automatically open.
3. Choose Your Realm: Pick a preset (e.g. Void, Garden, Mining) or tailor your layers, sky color, biome, and lots.
4. Step Through: Save your settings and walk into the portal to enter your private pocket dimension!
