Riftbound

Riftbound is a Minecraft Java 1.21.1 NeoForge mod that lets you cut holes through reality using the Void Dagger and enter your own personal pocket dimension.

Instead of simply teleporting the player, the Void Dagger tears open a temporary Void Point: a physical rift in the world that players can walk through.

On the other side is a space carved out of the Void itself.

The Void Dagger

The Void Dagger is the heart of Riftbound.

Right-clicking with the dagger opens a Void Point in front of you. The rift remains open temporarily, allowing you or nearby players to physically walk through it.

Using a Void Point refreshes its lifetime, making two-way travel easy without leaving permanent portals scattered around the world.

The dagger includes its own custom model and inventory icon and is designed to feel like an actual artifact rather than a simple teleportation tool.

Pocket Dimensions

Every player receives their own personal pocket dimension.

These pockets exist separately from the normal Minecraft world and can be used for things such as:

• Storage rooms
• Hidden bases
• Private building areas
• Staging areas
• Server utility spaces
• Whatever questionable Void experiments you decide to perform

Pocket dimensions are intentionally contained rather than being another infinite dimension.

Server owners can configure the size of each pocket depending on how much building space they want players to have.

Protective barriers, a roof, and Void safety systems help prevent players from accidentally escaping the pocket or being permanently lost beneath it.

Multiplayer

Riftbound is built with multiplayer in mind.

While each pocket dimension belongs to a specific player, Void Points are physical portals. If another player reaches your rift before it closes, they can follow you through.

This means pocket dimensions behave like actual locations rather than private menus or invisible teleport commands.

Portal behavior is handled server-side to keep travel consistent and safer on multiplayer servers.

Features

• Void Dagger with a custom 3D model and inventory icon
• Physical Void Points that players walk through
• Personal pocket dimensions for every player
• Multiplayer support
• Other players can follow you through active Void Points
• Configurable pocket dimension sizes
• Custom Void floor blocks
• Barrier walls and roof boundaries
• Void fall protection and recovery systems
• Bright pocket visibility without requiring Night Vision
• Temporary portals instead of permanent portal structures
• Portal lifetime refresh when used
• Server-authoritative portal and dimension behavior

Lore

Long before players learned how to build portals, the Void was already listening.

It existed between dimensions as a silent pressure, a place where distance, light, and direction barely mattered. Most people only brushed against it in dreams, within the End, or during the final second before falling forever.

The Void Dagger is forged from things that were never meant to belong together: echoes, obsidian that still remembers crying, netherite, blaze fire, Ender sight, and the impossible gravity of a Nether Star.

When swung, it does not open a door.

It cuts a wound.

For a few moments, that wound remains open.

Step through, and you enter a pocket carved directly from the Void itself.

Riftbound is a Minecraft Java 1.21.1 NeoForge mod about cutting holes through reality with the Void Dagger.

The dagger does not simply teleport you. It tears open a temporary Void Point, a physical rift that links the world around you to a personal pocket dimension hidden beyond normal space.

• Multiplayer support so other players can follow through open Void Points

Void Dagger

The Void Dagger is the core of Riftbound.

Right-clicking it opens a Void Point in front of the player. The portal stays open briefly, then begins closing unless someone walks through it. Each use resets the timer, allowing smooth two-way travel without leaving permanent portals behind.

Pocket Dimensions

Every player has their own pocket dimension space.

By default, the pocket is small and contained, making it useful for storage, staging areas, hidden rooms, or private builds. Server admins can configure the pocket size depending on how large they want these spaces to become.

The pocket is surrounded by protective boundaries, with a roof above the platform and safety logic to stop players from being lost to the void.

Multiplayer

Riftbound is designed for multiplayer servers.

A pocket belongs to its owner, but open Void Points can allow other players to follow through. This makes pockets feel like real spaces instead of locked menus or fake teleport destinations.
