🍌 Preview 26.20.26

[brittle current]

I also noticed that it keeps the dimensions color so when you are in the end for example and get tp to the custom dim it keeps the end color

HAHA Ik

[muted kindle]

oooo

So that's what happens if you delete your dimension while in it and reload all

[toxic estuary]

Wait...default spawn dimension...implies we can change it.

[chrome crypt]

My preferred string coercion is (''+arg)

[muted kindle]

And it says {if set}

👀

LETS GO

[wise tundra]

You know a cool usecase for these? Proceedurely generated instanced dungeons.

[floral ginkgo]

Type script or Java script?

[finite shuttle]

Can I start posting "the vaguepost king" after every changelog

[muted kindle]

JS

[brittle current]

JS

[floral ginkgo]

Nice

[toxic estuary]

After every changelog or...after every line?

[idle hedge]

thats js

[graceful ridge]

this is cool

[toxic estuary]

Ugh, cobweb dithering.

[idle hedge]

wait so is it just a blank dimension for now

[toxic estuary]

Yes. Should check the pins.

[muted kindle]

OMG

[chrome crypt]

Speedrun to make the Aether Mod starts ... now

[muted kindle]

When you re-add the dimension, EVERYTHING IS SAVED

[toxic estuary]

Sorry, cease and desist.

[old pulsar]

[chrome crypt]

Just call it the Neither Dimension

[errant tree]

could you send me the world file

Im curious how its stored

[umbral trout]

blue

[fresh terrace]

oh god

[errant tree]

why are some world blue and some arent??

[umbral trout]

IDK

[toxic estuary]

Oh cool, types are out.

[floral ginkgo]

Nice

[candid stirrup]

What did you use to tint out things?

[umbral trout]

nothing

i just rejoined

then it was all blue

[candid stirrup]

I had hopes

[fresh terrace]

The blue dimension of death

[umbral trout]

the thing is IDK how to script, all i do is make new stuff and well thats it, no scripting, i cant get myself to learn 😭

[candid stirrup]

Well

[toxic estuary]

No better time to learn.

[candid stirrup]

Yeah

[umbral trout]

i tried for years

[candid stirrup]

Who is making Oether?

Doether

Faether

Neither

[errant tree]

thank uuu

[errant tree]

down under

[muted kindle]

np!

[shell leaf]

So it's just set to minimum of -512 already? Nice to know...

[shell leaf]

Yeah, noticed this earlier.. happy to see that's in

[umbral trout]

i didnt know there was a reload all

[toxic estuary]

What happens if pack B added the dimension.

[fathom tundra]

can't wait to actually be able to do
custom biomes in these
Artemis 2 got me all excited and i'm thinking about trying my hand at doing a spacey addon lol

[muted kindle]

wdym?
Like 1 pack adds the dimension and then another tries to use it?

[idle hedge]

i know what im doing

[fathom tundra]

:o

[idle hedge]

the same thing you just said

[fathom tundra]

ah cool lol

[muted kindle]

oooo wait. Sulfur caves and custom dimensions 👀

[idle hedge]

totally just not because you just reminded me of it

[toxic estuary]

I presume yall are using playerDimensionChange to add the blocks?

[ivory beacon]

Sulfur Dimension confirmed?

[muted kindle]

Some are using tickingAreaManager

[finite shuttle]

The player is coming!! Oh no guys the player is here! Hurry and initialize your rooms, oh no they're here!

[toxic estuary]

True!

[magic prairie]

I would prob depend on structure queing personally (not great if your doing anything biger than a chunk)

[muted kindle]

Depends if you're doing a dungeon or random gen

Some are using the tickingArea for noise generation

[idle hedge]

probably just going to do that

[errant tree]

whats the custom dimension name?

[muted kindle]

dma:test1

[stark moth]

webs? spider dimension? NO THANK YOU

[muted kindle]

And the other is dma:test2

[shell leaf]

Anyone able to take a look at #1067535608660107284 message and tell me why my command isn't working?

[errant tree]

sadly not

[errant tree]

thank uuuu

[toxic estuary]

Is day night cycle per dimension?

[idle hedge]

what happens if you remove the addon and add it back, it should save right

[errant tree]

its global

[idle hedge]

or probably not

[toxic estuary]

Ugh.

NERD

[muted kindle]

Oof

[errant tree]

sorry mister big man, I know my internals

[errant tree]

according to @muted kindle it seems to store them

[muted kindle]

I don't know about removing an add-on

[idle hedge]

good

[idle hedge]

...

[errant tree]

I mean, if you can fully reload it seems to be stored somewhere

[muted kindle]

But it saves the dimension level data if you remove the dimension from the startup

[errant tree]

so it saves it

oh well im diggin

[idle hedge]

good

[graceful ridge]

No worries, It is the internet dimension

[muted kindle]

I guess. I'm kinda thinking that somehow they're saving it with internal per-add-on shenanigans, but now that I say it it sounds dumb

[idle hedge]

thats worse...

[muted kindle]

Wait, ooo so if it's saved to the level data, then if I undeclare it in 1 add-on and do the same name in another add-on, it should reappear

👀

[errant tree]

I wonder if you could yk to some degree recreate the old infinite dimension april fools snapshot

[muted kindle]

Wait

is it 58079 dimensions per add-on or world? the limit

🤔

[idle hedge]

world.

[muted kindle]

Damn

Oh well

😆

[idle hedge]

according to @shell leaf

and the message is pinged

so yeah

[idle hedge]

time to add 58079 planets

[graceful ridge]

uh

[umbral trout]

bugrock moment

[umbral trout]

backrooms levels

[muted kindle]

Man, adding the whole solar system alone would be insane

[idle hedge]

you dont even need dimensions for that

but why not

[errant tree]

make it a mod and add rockets build out of vanilla blocks

[idle hedge]

lol

[umbral trout]

i made a backrooms mod but ive been waiting for custom dimensions because the backrooms will just be in your overworld which could be annoying

[idle hedge]

ohhh, i was thinking more of a adventure map

[muted kindle]

Also, you can indeed do stuff across add-ons with dimensions

[idle hedge]

yeah you are right

[umbral trout]

no, addon

[idle hedge]

was

[muted kindle]

The teleport works, so that's great!

[idle hedge]

thinking more of like some no man sky type thing

but that would be cool too

[muted kindle]

Oooo Yeah

That would indeed be cool

And very possible now!

Plus, you could divide each world up into like 100kx100k areas per dimension!

So you could go even bigger

Man

[idle hedge]

i just have no terrain generation in scripts at all

so uh

there goes my dreams

[graceful ridge]

con have one if it still work

[muted kindle]

or even 500kx500k, and you'll have literally nearly infinite "worlds" at that point

[muted kindle]

@toxic estuary I believe this is what you were asking earlier about the Pack B thing. It works cross add-ons

[errant tree]

@toxic estuary I WAS WRONG

[muted kindle]

👀

[idle hedge]

wrong about what

[errant tree]

it seems like custom dimensions can have individual times of day

[muted kindle]

oooooo

[idle hedge]

sick, infinite night for space

[graceful ridge]

weather too?

[muted kindle]

Ooo, weather too

Yep

confirmed

[toxic estuary]

event.target.teleport(
{ x: 0, y: 64, z: 8 },
{ dimension: world.getDimension('smokey:void') },
);

Keeps TP'ing the target at x8,z8

[muted kindle]

In my overworld it's raining

In my custom dimension it's day

[toxic estuary]

Unless of course the entity wanders around before the player teleports?

[lethal radish]

DID I READ IT RIGHT? CUSTOM DIMENSIONS!?

[chrome crypt]

no, you did not. go back to bed

[idle hedge]

nope

[muted kindle]

Huh, interesting

[lethal radish]

[umbral trout]

its just a late april fools joke

[lethal radish]

oh

[idle hedge]

yeah late april fools, sadly.

they sure got me.

[umbral trout]

me too

[toxic estuary]

Death penalty.

[lethal radish]

I got bamboozled

[toxic estuary]

Uhhh...my OW is night time though?

[idle hedge]

can you pause the daylight cycle there

[muted kindle]

I'll check

[idle hedge]

without affecting the other dimensions

[muted kindle]

I don't think so

[errant tree]

tldr:

• there's a new DimensionNameIdTable key that maps the identifier to a numeric id, for example dma:test1 to id 1000 so that they can be looked up easily
• there's also a new digp (prolly dimension index group prefix) key that creates a two-level spatial index mapping chunk coordinates to actor storage buckets in actorprefix
• there's also a new WorldClocks that stores per dimension time values
• and probably some other stuff...

[muted kindle]

the gamerule works across dimensions

[worn orbit]

I have been summoned.

I just saw bedrock is getting custom dimensions

[muted kindle]

Yes

Oh wait, there's daylock

[fresh terrace]

its a big day

[stark moth]

There is a bug with custom dimensions right now where their sky lighting won't update after being created.

[muted kindle]

Ah I see

[idle hedge]

yeah thought so, because how the command works... I guess ill just keep setting the time in the dimension to night overtime

[worn orbit]

Aether bedrock port about to be crazy

[muted kindle]

Oh, dayslock is completely different, lol

[idle hedge]

a real one would be cool

[muted kindle]

Yeah

[idle hedge]

instead of stolen aether stuff slipping through the cracks in the marketplace

damn that situation was bad

[errant tree]

lce had it before bedrock 💔

[idle surge]

This was not how I expected custom dimensions to drop

[worn orbit]

Crazy

[idle surge]

Especially the registration being through scripting

[idle hedge]

I was expecting it.

[muted kindle]

Ok nice, it does correctly give you the dimension ID

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({dimension})=> {
    console.log(dimension.id);
    
})```

[idle hedge]

like as soon as we got custom components and stuff I was like "hm, custom dimension registery"

[muted kindle]

I like the scripting registry

[idle surge]

It's very weird compared to like literally everything else we've had

[errant tree]

bit sad that they start at 1000 tbh

[idle hedge]

well everything is being implemented to scripts now

[muted kindle]

Yeah

[idle hedge]

soon mob spawning

[idle surge]

That's not how that works

[idle hedge]

what

[finite shuttle]

Is digp new? I thought that was for digest
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/actorstorage?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[idle surge]

They're not implementing everything in scripting

[muted kindle]

Wait, so if dimensions start at 1000, that means the number of the 58079registered dimension is indexed at 59082?

[idle hedge]

well i didnt literally mean everything dude

[errant tree]

nvm Im a little stupid

[idle surge]

Scripting makes sense for stuff that involves a lot of logic not for static stuff like this

[idle hedge]

am I the one doing this?

lol

[muted kindle]

there's also a new WorldClocks that stores per dimension time values
Huh, with the /time set command it's changing the time of all dimensions 😔

[idle surge]

You said you were expecting it, I explained why I wasn't

[errant tree]

someone tell smokey I was right indeed, ig its not read yet

[idle hedge]

yeah and then you wanted to lecture me or something

[muted kindle]

@toxic estuary

Bad news, Lucy was right

😔

[errant tree]

poor guy being pinged all day 😭

[muted kindle]

😂

[finite shuttle]

The fact that bedrock is actually porting the world clocks of all random things java data-drove lately I feel like has some significance for future content

[idle hedge]

what about the time apis

[toxic estuary]

Isnt world clocks je only?

[muted kindle]

Lucy got that from the level data file, right?

[idle hedge]

wait a min, the time apis are not on the dimension class

welp, maybe we need to wait for new time apis for the dimension class

[chrome crypt]

Could be neat if they were introducing a new overworld-like dimension with a separate time cycle

[graceful ridge]

creating a portal registration system is more complicated than i thought

[muted kindle]

Ummm wait

Ocean Biome?

[toxic estuary]

Yes, the default biome for the overworld.

[ivory beacon]

Would make sense given that, with VV being a thing, you want new dimensions to have global lights.

[muted kindle]

Ahhh

[brisk marlin]

does it support multiple custom biomes?

[muted kindle]

Not yet

[candid stirrup]

Has someone tried NBT editing custom dimensions

[muted kindle]

Ooo @errant tree

Sounds like a job for you 🤣

Lucy has looked into the level file and found some new neat stuff, but didn't say anything else 😔

[toxic estuary]

Huh, kill e somehow kills the wither in the OW. Is the chunk lazy loaded or something?

[muted kindle]

Huhhh

Spawn chunks?

[errant tree]

probably just incorrect dimension tracking ig

[mild heart]

afaik, changing dimensions will load the area u left for atleast a bit

[candid stirrup]

Traveling between dimensions always let the previous dimension loaded for a while

[mild heart]

just from my experience i think thats how it has gone usually

[chrome crypt]

/kill doesn't respect dimension boundaries. Might be related to that Nether portal change where chunks in the previous dimension are kept loaded briefly?

[muted kindle]

Oh yeah, if it's the same as nether and end, that makes sense

That's how chunk loaders are made in vanilla usually

[mild heart]

does anybody have like a blank mcaddon for testing the dimension stuff i am so lazy 🥺

[errant tree]

I mean there's not much to edit- the level file just stores dimensions data such as entities, blocks- time and stuff.. there are no config regarding dimension properties

[idle hedge]

the creator channel video has sample code.

[mild heart]

woe

ohh the minecraft one?

let me have a look ty

[idle hedge]

I think thats the game we are developing addons for

[mild heart]

:p

sorry

[idle hedge]

/j

nah im kidding

late "/j"

lol

[obtuse basin]

Is this actually custom dimensions or am I dreaming

[umbral trout]

late april fools

[chrome crypt]

snap back to reality

[obtuse basin]

Lol

[muted kindle]

Oh, there goes gravity

[idle hedge]

I forgot the next lyrics

[muted kindle]

"choke"

But he so mad that he won't give up that easily

[obtuse basin]

Ok when's The Aether mod coming to bedrock?

[toxic estuary]

Shitty ass domain expansion LMAO

[errant tree]

wha

[idle hedge]

huh

[lime sedge]

I just hope it won't be constrained to actual overworld biomes. I've wanted to do something for a while where difficulty starts off easy in the spawn location and gradually increases the further out you get, and that's just not possible atm

[umbral trout]

aint no way

[toxic estuary]

😭 Shitty ass domain Im telling you

[indigo moat]

Custom anime cutscenes

[shell leaf]

So when do we get immersive portals? 🤣 💀

[sand cosmos]

The day we get custom shaders

[toxic estuary]

Im so motivated to improve this domain expansion.

[coral abyss]

I'm making a little lib that makes it much easier to register dimensions

currently registers the dimension and a teleport command to the dimension

planning on adding a enum for being able to choose a few world types like void ect. idk how far this can go with this phase 1

[graceful ridge]

@idle hedge this is what i am talking about, i am at 831 lines of code and this is nowhere near finished (this include everything being customizable)
honestly, i am hooping we get a way to register portals

[idle hedge]

I see

maybe you can figure it out and then post a template, that would be helpful

[graceful ridge]

idk about that
probably not

[idle hedge]

lol

[graceful ridge]

would be easier to just have a hardcoded size

[leaden dragon]

Is this feature already supporting spawn rules, can we spawn mobs in the new dimensions?

[dusty crater]

Damn

[toxic estuary]

@inland sphinx , I know I say this all the time, but seriously, give thanks to the proper teams that worked on all the features that have been delivered so far. You guys have been killing it and I think the Community morale has improved to the point we are now excited for every preview because, custom dimensions out of the left field is insane. You guys have truly made the Bedrock ecosystem a viable option to make UGC.

[dusty crater]

This is fire

[coral abyss]

thank you mojangsters!

[clear mesa]

Why does mctools.dev allow me to make a "gravity block"?

Since when could we replicate sand 😭

[toxic estuary]

What...code did it output?

[indigo pier]

Can you create dimensions at will?

So like have a separate dimension for each player.

[clear mesa]

only on start up.

[toxic estuary]

No. Not dynamically in-game. It's registered in the same area as custom components and commands.

[indigo pier]

Okay. 👍

[clear mesa]

Just minecraft:gravity. I'm digging a little deeper

[toxic estuary]

What others suggested is you create 100 dimensions and assign each player a tag for that dimension.

[brittle current]

I hope we can disable this annoying portal sound

[clear mesa]

Yeah I don't think the component actually exists. Gonna try run it anyway

[indigo pier]

I was thinking for a storage area type Add-On you could have a room generate on a grid infinitely and assign room numbers based off something.

[toxic estuary]

Yeah. Just override the vanilla sound definitions.

[toxic estuary]

Yeah, that could work.

[brittle current]

Yeah but like without doing that

[toxic estuary]

It just all depends on how many players.

[brittle current]

or maybe custom sound for each dimension

[toxic estuary]

Custom loading screens would be PEAK.

[indigo pier]

Indeed

[toxic estuary]

I will say, the instaneous transfer is insane.

I know it's because it's a void world but still.

[leaden dragon]

I dont understand too much the part of the player being able to teleport to the dimension

is it able thorough blocks?

[clear mesa]

to what?

oh you mean like, registering a custom portal block

[leaden dragon]

to teleport players to dimension

[clear mesa]

no, but you can teleport them directly from the scripting API

[toxic estuary]

WAIT

This obviously mean entityintersectwithblock custom component.

[clear mesa]

Couldn't we just check the player's AABB against the world?

[toxic estuary]

Ugh, constant ticking on the scripting's end.

[brittle current]

Does the dimension change event work with the custom dimensions?

[clear mesa]

ye

[toxic estuary]

Here's my code:

[graceful ridge]

we will need the block AABB too for it to be precise

[clear mesa]

fair. We do need a selection/collision box component

[toxic estuary]

I rather have the engine handle that for me then do my own logic.

[graceful ridge]

but i guess working with custom blocks, that can be hardcoded

[clear mesa]

Honestly, fair enough

An actual portal component would make sense

[lime sedge]

Why not just check if the player is standing inside of the portal block

[clear mesa]

since we have no way of fully making the effect anyway

[toxic estuary]

Effect being?

[clear mesa]

the player nausea swirl and the fading portal texture

[toxic estuary]

Nausea swirl can be handled so can the camera fade. I thought you meant the end portal and the particles.

[clear mesa]

I mean something like the nether portal

[chrome crypt]

Any replication we do will not quite be exact

[clear mesa]

And I mean more like vanilla. Without needing to give the player actual nausea

That's why a builtin portal component would make sense

[toxic estuary]

It is interesting the sulfur potent gives nausea instead just visually.

[graceful ridge]

that goes for the portal structure itself, just handling all the cases is a headache, including making stuff persist

[toxic estuary]

Persistent?

[graceful ridge]

what portal is linked to what and stuff related to it

[toxic estuary]

Dynamic properties! Block dynamic properties! leveldb manipulation!

[clear mesa]

I guarantee you that they'll only make block dynamic properties for block actors

[toxic estuary]

Throw tomatoes at this user.

[clear mesa]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[graceful ridge]

would be funny trying to make a portal using multi block

[toxic estuary]

Despair.

[clear mesa]

that one pocket dimension mod comes to mind

[floral ginkgo]

Portal opens like a door

[idle hedge]

i was going to say that earlier

[clear mesa]

the one with the iron door and the abyss

[idle hedge]

lol

[floral ginkgo]

Like from monsters inc

[toxic estuary]

Portable zoo

[graceful ridge]

not a bad idea tbh

[muted kindle]

Yes, kinda like a pocket dimension.
You could also tag people a certain number and if they use a command let's say, then they get teleported to a dimension called storage:dimension at specific coordinates depending on their tag maybe?

[toxic estuary]

Add-on whose namespace is storage.

[muted kindle]

Yes. I couldn't come up with a proper namespace 😅

And didn't think of namespace until now...

[graceful ridge]

namespace:dimension

[ocean dust]

first

[muted kindle]

Yes

[ocean dust]

will this finally fix visual chunk glitching when changing worlds at the same coords?

[tribal palm]

How

[candid stirrup]

math

[abstract urchin]

Alright, what did I miss?

[toxic estuary]

Shitty domain expansion.

[floral ginkgo]

I got a F in math in one year

[candid stirrup]

I love math

sometimes

[floral ginkgo]

I hate math

bane of my existence outside of Java script

[finite shuttle]

You put a barrel with items inside and the items hold your dynamic properties 😁

[floral ginkgo]

I program java because I'm in FRC yet can't program javascript

[graceful ridge]

once they namespace the dimension names in /execute in thats when we'll know that they are putting custom dimensions in that command

They did the same with biomes and structures in /locate before adding the custom versions

/place works

[distant cypress]

Does rtx work fine in custom dimensions?

[clear mesa]

I know anyone here is unlikely to have use it, but is anyone else having problems saving the name of an addon edited using npx mct edit

[floral ginkgo]

ill test rq

[distant cypress]

Tysm

[floral ginkgo]

i need a rtx pack in preview

I don't even have one on it yet

[distant cypress]

try myyyy pack....

[floral ginkgo]

which one

I just downloaded cat rtx

[distant cypress]

:<

[floral ginkgo]

i don't know which one is yours

[distant cypress]

Lightning path rtx, but anyways, you can use any. I just need to make sure rtx is fine with custom dimensions

[vivid tinsel]

any idea when this will become stable? Also, is there a point in me learning it while its not stable? i haven’t done much world gen, but nothing stops me

[floral ginkgo]

Preview won't even let me turn rtx on itr seems

It won't even let me turn it on anymore

the options is always grey

[distant cypress]

Why don't you turn on "allow in-game graphics mode switching"?

[floral ginkgo]

in the settings

[floral ginkgo]

I have it on but don't know what key it is

the ";" doesn't change it like I heard

[distant cypress]

Do you have any other resource packs opened? Are you in editor mode or not?

[floral ginkgo]

I'm gonna try yours

[floral ginkgo]

I had my own on

my own rsource pack

[distant cypress]

Are you in editor mode?

[floral ginkgo]

no

[distant cypress]

I think you need only to leave rtx rp so it works fine.

[floral ginkgo]

ill try that

one sec

well it works now

"working" might be a stretch

chunks were too low nvm

it looks fine

[clear mesa]

Anyone knows how this works?

[leaden dragon]

What version it needs to work?

[distant cypress]

Yayy it works, tysm for testing.

[floral ginkgo]

custom dimensions?

[floral ginkgo]

np

[floral ginkgo]

except redstone torches it seems

[muted kindle]

Sexy time

[distant cypress]

Redstone torches have some issues with material, it is normal.

[floral ginkgo]

ah

[distant cypress]

The only thing i can do is to use blockshapes

[leaden dragon]

Yes

[floral ginkgo]

26.20.26

this preview

[distant cypress]

If Mojang ever asked me, what to do: add custom dimensions or make RTX update. I would probably choose RTX update without thinking!!!!

[quick crypt]

Now we need the Offhand support asap

[leaden dragon]

Ok

[abstract urchin]

It's so cool that potted blocks now support texture variations.

[muted kindle]

Hmm, are sulfur cubes meant to not be spawnable on peaceful?

[sinful tide]

It would be cool to do this for custom mobs, preventing them from spawning in the peaceful.

[muted kindle]

Ig, but sulfur cubes aren't hostile, so idk why they're blocked by peaceful

[toxic estuary]

They are.

[muted kindle]

Huhh

[toxic estuary]

"spawn_category": "monster"
"population_control": "monster"

[muted kindle]

Interesting

[toxic estuary]

Mob Spawning experiment when 😩

[muted kindle]

Are they passive until hit? Or how do they work?

[toxic estuary]

No, they're passive but they're under the monster category.

[muted kindle]

Oh I see

[sinful tide]

That alone says he's a monster; they don't even have a monster family.

[sinful tide]

So this is intentional? That's really cool.

[abstract urchin]

Oh, yeah, I probably should've clarified that those are the same block.

[abstract urchin]

Gonna poke at entity version upgrades later.

glad dimension is with script

does that mean its dynamic

or only startup

[gaunt pond]

Yes. This was originally meant to fix an issue with item visual being used with material variations but we realized that we could also get it working with things like potted blocks. Happy accident 🥳

[muted kindle]

Only startup

[glossy jewel]

Are you guys already aware about custom nether biomes being broken by chance? (If not the bug report is in my name)

[toxic estuary]

Wrong team haha.

[glossy jewel]

Listen i can hope alright

Maybe theyll send a message or somethin

😭

"Do not fix MCPE-236399 as it will give hapiness to Sir Rel"

can someone test if beds work in custom dimensions, i am getting my brain flooded with the "before beds questions"

[muted kindle]

haha. Yeah 2 secs

[graceful ridge]

huh

[sinful tide]

And night?

[graceful ridge]

do you respawn there

[muted kindle]

Nope

It does however set it to daytime when you do sleep

[graceful ridge]

hopefully that will be configurable

[muted kindle]

It only makes sense that it will be later on

Sending video clip now

[graceful ridge]

yeah

thanks

[sinful tide]

I hope it will be possible to configure it better with JSON.

[muted kindle]

Uh oh. Goontaro is typing. What did we do

👀

[clear mesa]

👀

[gaunt pond]

We looked at https://report.bugs.mojang.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/6/MCPE-236399 and couldn't repro with the world provided. It looks like in the provided behavior pack the nether dimension was deleted so when we went there it was just void. When we tried to take the custom biome on a new world and use it, things seemed to work fine? If you can give us a better world/steps to try let us know.

[clear mesa]

I bet he thinks this is funny. Our reaction to him just typing

[graceful ridge]

idk, but we definitely need some kinda of config
daylight cycle toggle
how long is a day
what weather can happen there (maybe even custom ones)
is liquid placeable there
....

[gaunt pond]

Nah I had an actual response was just trying to get the info right 😂

[toxic estuary]

Liquid placeable is biome specific if I recall.

At least in terms of water drying up.

[clear mesa]

So we could technically make it so water actually dries up in the desert?

[glossy jewel]

Bet, ill get back to you in a hot minute, i need to make a behavior pack

[toxic estuary]

It...does though? I'm not sure what the question is.

[muted kindle]

Sent to #1469419316226162688 so Cioscaa can maybe update the pack when he's free

[toxic estuary]

Or am I thinking of sponges.

[clear mesa]

you're thinking of sponges

I meant placing water down with a bucket

[muted kindle]

That just sounds like a beforePlayerPlace thing 😅

[cinder bay]

Wait how?

[muted kindle]

Then get the biome, or biome tag

[toxic estuary]

I mean...it is because you can do /fill water

[clear mesa]

It's not just the water bucket. breaking ice won't cause water to appear either

[muted kindle]

I mean, you could also have a custom desert biome in the custom dimension with the tag of "hell" or whatever the nether uses to dry up water

Unless the drying-up of water is hardcoded to the dimension

[clear mesa]

anything can be datadriven if you try hard enough

[graceful ridge]

liquid speed maybe

[gaunt pond]

material instance component + material variations + embedded visual

[cinder bay]

Ohhh

Its completely random then

[toxic estuary]

Is it random per placement?

Or does it follow the grid random?

[muted kindle]

Liquid speed does sound nice, but that just sounds like a lagfest with trying to update so much more liquids per how many ticks

[graceful ridge]

that already happens with vanilla dimensions

[toxic estuary]

Vanilla handles liquids pretty fine.

Look at Lava and Water.

[graceful ridge]

not if there is a lot of flowing ones

[muted kindle]

Yeah, I meant the flowing ones

[toxic estuary]

In terms of performance? I've no issues.

[clear mesa]

Minecraft doesn't process all block ticks at once so there isn't any issues there

[toxic estuary]

Shoutout farms.

[graceful ridge]

they slow down, performance is not impacted

[clear mesa]

100 queued ticks per chunk if I'm not mistaken

[toxic estuary]

Correct!

[muted kindle]

Holy

[toxic estuary]

That information was forced onto me against my will.

[muted kindle]

lol

I guess 100 queued isn't too bad

[clear mesa]

I learnt it while researching how Bedtock redstone works

[clear mesa]

Java on the other hand has a global cap of 65536

Regardless of chunks

[muted kindle]

That makes sense xD

[toxic estuary]

Easier to make update surpressors.

[gaunt pond]

It follows the same thing as random offset, where it is randomized based off block position. Meaning if you place a block in a pot at the same position it will always result in the same one.

[toxic estuary]

Sadness.

I wanted to abuse the mechanic to make pseudo paintings.

[clear mesa]

Tbf it makes sense

[clear mesa]

lol

[graceful ridge]

lol, i guess i need to offset my house one block to have different variant next to the window

[vivid tinsel]

Dimensions and than Custom liquids?

[clear mesa]

dimensions then block actors

[muted kindle]

They'll probably be a long ways away xD

But maybe...

[toxic estuary]

They just released custom dimensions. At this point. Bet on everything.

https://klipy.com/gifs/michael-cera-mollys-game-1

[glossy jewel]

okay so the Nether Biome bug doesnt always happen (which is why it wasnt noticed by yall)

and if it doesnt, you gotta just make a world and try again (from my experience, the lower the "amount" is in the replace_biomes component, the more likely this happens)

[clear mesa]

beautiful

[toxic estuary]

Nah, you hand placed that.

[glossy jewel]

😭

[clear mesa]

are you gonna let him diss you like that?

[gaunt pond]

You said a hot minute but it was 20 minutes. Is that still hot?

[sinful tide]

Looks good for me

[gaunt pond]

(Looking at this, no promises ofc on timings on anything)

[muted kindle]

Absolutely burning to the touch

[glossy jewel]

in my defense i was in bed at the time of talking about nether biomes 😭

[toxic estuary]

🗣️ Under 30 minutes or its free.

[clear mesa]

Pay up

[woeful sparrow]

Is anyone having issues with loading into a custom dimension with a resource pack equipped? Behavior only works fine, and the Lava Chicken Add-On works fine, but if I add a custom rp (even just manifest & texts files) to my world, it slows down until it eventually kicks me

[toxic estuary]

Nope, used an RP to add sounds. Worked.

[glossy jewel]

how in the heck could i do all that in 20 min 😭

[glossy jewel]

(bit of extra info, but the ratio of the triangles is dependant on how large the "amount" is in replace_biomes as well)

i probably couldve got this done in 15min, but my computer is slow and it doesnt always happen so i had to rely on RNG

[sinful tide]

I think custom dimensions doesn't have an invisible bedrock lol

[sinful tide]

The block limit is also of different interest.

[toxic estuary]

It's -512 to 512

[sinful tide]

Yes, larger than the overworld, very interesting.

[flat raft]

wait so same works on how you paste those structures as how you would do it in jigsaw right ?

[floral ginkgo]

I’m planning to test jigsaws in the custom dimensions i have in the near future

[flat raft]

So this isint jigsaw ?

[toxic estuary]

What is there to test?

[sinful tide]

Does the game understand which biome the dimension belongs to?

[modest mountain]

It's early work, Probably not yet

[toxic estuary]

What do you mean?

[sinful tide]

Does he understand that the entire dimension has a plains biome? Because it would be strange to think of a world without any biomes.

[sinful tide]

Or perhaps the ocean, since that's the default biome.

[mighty sand]

custom dimensions?? wth did i miss

lmao

[hollow river]

Aether when?

[wise tundra]

I wonder if any team will secure a partnership with the aether team.

[hollow river]

doubtful tbh

[sinful tide]

When it becomes possible to create a world generation

[hollow river]

"technically" possible just not efficient

[sinful tide]

It's very heavy.

[ebon moss]

I just got the news and I need someone to confirm if im dreaming or not

Are custom dimensions going to be a thing

[toxic estuary]

You're dreaming.

Wake up!

[leaden ice]

yep , techincally they are a thing now in the latest beta but you can only make custom void dimensions

[ebon moss]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-wake-up-wakey-wakey-awaken-gif-26734899

[ebon moss]

You mean stuff like the end

[leaden ice]

ya without the islands, since world gen for custom dimensions is not a thing YET

[ebon moss]

Hopefully it can be expanded upon for more than that

Like how java has it

But then again its still a new thing

[leaden ice]

yaaa

[toxic estuary]

Ugh.

This is like...what they wanted wolves to be.

@finite shuttle thoughts?

[abstract urchin]

Works pretty good but queue_command doesn't do anything. I'm guessing the caller is getting lost on upgrades, but I'm not observing any kind of "transformation" occurring. Also, it's not despawning the entity or anything like that.

[abstract urchin]

What did you want it to be?

[toxic estuary]

I want entity permutations back tbh.

I am curious.

If I had an entity v0 and it hasn't been loaded and the addon has a v10 of that entity, does it incrementally upgrade fro 0-1,1-2 or straight from 0 to 10.

[abstract urchin]

Goes through each one

[toxic estuary]

I can't think of any tbh. It's far better than what wolves did.

[abstract urchin]

I can't wait for them to put this on blocks.

[toxic estuary]

Since blocks don't have CGs, I can only presume you mean directly add/remove components?

[abstract urchin]

It would just be a remapping of states/traits.

[toxic estuary]

Isn't...that just a block remapper rather than specifically upgrades.

That is a way yeah. I never thought about that. I always assumed it just be a separate JSON file.

"upgrades": {
  "namespace:property_a": {
    "namespace:property_b": [false, true]
  }
}

For example I guess?

[abstract urchin]

Not sure yet. I'd have to think about it. But it doesn't matter now because we probably won't see this in forever.

[sinful tide]

First time I've seen vanilla mcstructure files instead of nbt files.

[floral ginkgo]

structure sets do not seem to work in custom dimensions

[finite shuttle]

Upgrading pre-existing objects in the world is an essential capability for add-ons. I'm glad it's being given first-class support and attention, although I personally won't use it (since I don't make add-ons). This is much better than the ad-hoc q.had_component_group / is_updated actor properties/environment sensor hacks vanilla entities used.
Java's data fixers are beautiful because they can fix serialized data before it's ever loaded, so the actual object definitions never need to care about upgrading themselves. Of course, they're not user-facing and likely never will be. It makes sense that the model would be a little different with that requirement, so with that in mind I have no major complaints for this addition as it appears and I approve it.

[sinful tide]

That's perfectly normal; Jigsaw never had an option to choose the dimension, only the biome tag.

[floral ginkgo]

I had assumed since the ocean biome seemed to be the one in custom dimensions I would be able to use that tag to generate it

[woeful frigate]

how to make a jigsaw spawn inside a custom dimension or just a block to stand? i didnt get it in the documentation

[floral ginkgo]

We don't seem to have that ability rn

[sinful tide]

And placeJigsawStructure?

Don't work?

[floral ginkgo]

/place works compelty fine in custom dimensions

[sinful tide]

The api

[floral ginkgo]

I would assume the scripting api would the same

I don't see why it wouldn't

[sinful tide]

Perhaps he wouldn't identify the custom dimension.

[woeful frigate]

even the stand block? i just want a way to be on ground in the dimension

[floral ginkgo]

there is no ground in the dimension

its a void

I set the test jigsaw to force place at y100 with no surface projection

otherwise /place does fine

test structure works fine, the structure set isn't it seems however

I did seem to crash the game by placing a structure with terrain matching pieces however

[sinful tide]

Really

[floral ginkgo]

didn't work

[sinful tide]

Yes, it's likely that any generation of structure is disabled.

[floral ginkgo]

yeah

could probably create debug dimension with this

[brittle gate]

WHERE

[shell leaf]

They just misread something. No custom chests just yet.. 🥹

[brittle gate]

NOOOOOOOO

Got my hopes up 😭

Anyway

Ive seen that you can interact with an item to teleport you to the dimension

[shell leaf]

I think block containers are in the works though. It’s been mentioned in the “What’s next” on the docs page for updates. Hopefully soon 🙏

[brittle gate]

I'm waiting for someone to port the nameless deity

With their garden as a dimension

Its actually just a garden

Im hoping we get it 🙏

[shell leaf]

Are dimensions not unregistered once created?

I've been having an issue with a custom command I made for changing dimension where it said that the Dimension ID was invalid. This was on the same world I created the dimension limit on. I thought it was an issue with my command but upon creating a new world, the command worked just fine.

If this is the case, being able to delete or at least clear up unused dimensions would be a nice additional feature.

[ivory beacon]

how would this be done?

When should the game decide to clear up dimensions

I think players should be able to manually clear dimension data in-game.

[shell leaf]

I was about to say just when they're no longer being registered but I guess that would be bad if you accidentally take the pack off and whatever.

[ivory beacon]

or like, in the world screen

[ivory beacon]

yeah.

You can accidentally disable a pack, or you can have a pack get disabled by itself sometimes even.

You really wouldn't want to lose all your progress in a custom dimension from that happening

I do agree that we need a way to clear unused dimensions, but the process needs to be manual.

i think an add-on should be able to unregister its own dimensions though

so you could make temporary dimensions.

[shell leaf]

Yeah, I was thinking of something just like event.dimensionRegistry.unregisterCustomDimension('custom:test') but you might forget the name of a dimension that you made.

[ivory beacon]

but that also requires registering at runtime

[shell leaf]

So yeah, having a screen somewhere or something else would be nice to manage them.

I guess just when making servers/realms be careful with names you pick.

Just going back to when servers were made on Realms would be fun to try and go back to with custom dimensions now. Just set up 11 pre-existing dimensions and load/unload player data for things like Skyblock Islands or Prison Mines, etc.

It'll definitely be cool to see what people come up with for Servers and Add-Ons.

[ivory beacon]

add a button to file management

[shell leaf]

That was fast! It looks good though, it would be a smart place to put it if it was added.

[ivory beacon]

this should take you to a menu where you have:

• a list of packs that add dimensions.
  • in each pack, every dimension in that pack. You could press on the individual dimensions, or the whole folder
• a button that says "clear unused dimensions". This would remove dimensions from ANY packs not applied to the world.
• a button that says "clear selected dimensions". This would remove dimensions you selected yourself.

that way, if 1 pack has say, 53000 dimensions, you don't need to delete each one manually, you can clear the entire folder

[shell leaf]

What do you do if that pack doesn't exist anywhere on the system? How might Mojang go about displaying it in the list.. just "Unknown Add-On" or something along those lines?

[ivory beacon]

without deleting dimensions from pack 2 that has 4 dimensions that you want to keep

[ivory beacon]

pack namespace

[shell leaf]

Imagine it tries loading 53,000 buttons like in pack cache to select each one to delete.. 🤣 💀

[ivory beacon]

yeah i assume for this it'd be dropdowns.

so by default it's JUST the folders

with a number of dimensions next to them

and dropdown button

This is sort of what i'm imagining the dimension management menu would look like

[shell leaf]

Damn, you actually cooking..

[modest mountain]

Good

[ivory beacon]

i guess the one thing missing here that i could see being good is like, it should say whether a dimension is from any currently applied packs or not.

so you don't clear unused stuff when you can't see what isn't used

[mild heart]

tbf the way i assume it would go is if you load a world with a custom dimension, and said dimension is not registered by any enabled addon, it will be deleted

thats how it is with items and stuff like that

[ivory beacon]

yeah but as discussed a bit earlier, that is problematic.

The game doesn't just delete blocks, it replaces them with unknown blocks.

so now imagine you have a world where you built a lot of stuff in a custom dimension, and then either you accidentally unselect the add-on that adds it, or something breaks and the add-on unselects itself as has happened to me a few times.

[mild heart]

im not saying i want it to be like that i just expect it to be tbh

[ivory beacon]

i mean, if there's any time to give feedback on how it should work, it's now.

custom dimensions are in an extremely early state and presumably nothing about them is final. Plus, we don't even HAVE a dimension de-registering system yet as far as i know, but that is something that we will need to have.

[mild heart]

wait so, as of rn, if you remove the addon, the dimension stays?

[ivory beacon]

i'm unsure, testing that now.

[mild heart]

ahh ok

[ivory beacon]

yes.

[mild heart]

thats really interesting

[ivory beacon]

it will load you into the overworld if the pack is missing

[leaden ice]

going to the dimension that no longer exists 🔥

[mild heart]

ohh i see

[ivory beacon]

but you can remove a pack, add it back and the dimension comes back with your saved data

[mild heart]

ohh i see i see

[leaden ice]

ooooooo

[mild heart]

nice

[ivory beacon]

So, i built this little pool in the sky lounge dimension from the mojang example ones. I deleted the pack while in this dimension, it sent me to the overworld. I added the pack back, and the pool stayed.

this is good. It means the game doesn't just destroy your progress because you accidentally removed the wrong add-on

[mild heart]

yess

thats rlly good to have

[mild heart]

interesting

[ivory beacon]

here's what happens when you remove a pack while in custom dimension

[leaden ice]

that's so smart

[ivory beacon]

as for this UI, i think it'd be good if we could also reset the Nether and the End like we could on legacy console.

that way this button isn't just out of place for people not using custom dimensions

[shell leaf]

When I first saw this testing out removing dimensions, what caught my eye was the (if set), we can't currently set default dimensions right?

Unless it means when you set spawns in other vanilla dimensions like the nether and end.

[ivory beacon]

I assume it means "If you set default spawn in custom dimension that exists, we'll send you there. If not, it'll go overworld."

like, you can have multiple packs with dimensions

so just because the one you're currently in is gone doesn't mean the one with world spawn is gone.

[shell leaf]

Well currently if you set your spawn with a bed and die you get sent to the overworld. I would assume the behavior is the same currently if a dimension is removed while you're inside of it.

Because it says default spawn dimension but that default could be any of lets say 300 dimensions.

Oh world spawn... right.

[ivory beacon]

yeah.

[shell leaf]

🤦

That's probably what it would be then.

[ivory beacon]

yes

we need a dimensions forum in scripting.

[mild heart]

it seems the dimension bounds of custom dimensions are Y -512 to Y 512

[ivory beacon]

yeah theyre quite tall!

:3

[mild heart]

wild tbh

i assume it will be customisable tho given thats like, the one thing we can edit in dimension.json files

[ivory beacon]

I assume they'll let us set custom min and max height later.

makes sense to set it to max until that's here.

[mild heart]

ye

clouds are so small from down here

[ivory beacon]

A custom dimension with 1024 height that actually uses all of it could be very interesting

[mild heart]

yeaa that would be insane

[ivory beacon]

Imagine a dimension that's many layers deep
Or a city dimension with these giant skyscrapers and underground areas

[mild heart]

yess it would be so exciting

[shell leaf]

I would assume it's due to performance that they decided to use void as the pre-template for custom dimensions. Though I guess that really does allow for anything to be made going forward instead of having to define it as a void in the dimensions folder which is nice. Also the fact that -512, 512 is the default is great!

[ivory beacon]

Also, since this is as tall as some legacy console worlds are wide, you can have a full sideways world

[mild heart]

omg yes

[shell leaf]

Do you think they'll ever allow us to have dimensional bounds for x and z for creating worlds like legacy?

It would be nice to set hard limit world sizes instead of having to implement our own via scripting.

[ivory beacon]

Yeah

[brittle gate]

The miners dimension is waiting for a port now lol

[ivory beacon]

Expecting a full Aether port by the end of the week

[sharp steppe]

I'll have to revisit this idea now

#1304655342285881374 message

[muted kindle]

It has an ocean biome

[muted kindle]

That's what I'm hoping. Otherwise it'd just get to so much bloat if people kept exploring multiple infinite dimensions

So a lot of people would want custom dimensional bounds

[spark night]

im still waiting for them to add support for features and feature_rules or just natural terrain gen

[muted kindle]

That'll come later

[ivory beacon]

🥔

how potateful.

[muted kindle]

I hope they update that add-on to add the dimension when it comes to stable

But I doubt it though since it's old

[toxic estuary]

An April Fools add-on that Mojang commissioned...

[ivory beacon]

I doubt it, but they did update it to bundles of bravery

Adding a potato bundle

Don't think its been updated since though

But it would be nice to have past joke dimensions as an addon

[raw umbra]

🥔 potato

[sinful tide]

Yea

Fast fishing...ome day youll make sense.

using scripting for it is not the way to go anyway, looking forward to custom biomes in custom dimensions

▶ Play video

vxTwitter / fixvx · Apr 9, 2026, 2:53 PM

[proud ermine]

A setBiome() function would be cool

[abstract urchin]

I wonder what the most immediate use case of this version of custom dimensions is. Structures? I guess noise-based biomes is a bit much.

[muted kindle]

How did you get the sky to be red?

[muted kindle]

Structures mostly imo

[graceful ridge]

crimson forest fog

[muted kindle]

I don't see how that'd work tbh

I think the setting of biomes should be fully JSON only

[muted kindle]

How do you set it?

[muted kindle]

Oh fair enough

A nice workaround

[graceful ridge]

yeah

[idle hedge]

we need client side dimension customization lol

like biomes

but this works ig

[muted kindle]

I honestly love what I've seen people do with custom biomes through features and structures in the overworld when biomes weren't possible

I wonder how well they could do it now in custom dimensions

[proud ermine]

Like a fill command, just get two positions and then set biome to that biome for that volume

[muted kindle]

Even without anything native

[idle hedge]

or well, I guess we can wait until we can generate custom biomes in the custom dimension and then add the fog through the biome there.

[muted kindle]

I guess, but the amount of variables and other stuff you'd need to set for that

And it'd also need to go into a new startup event

Which, I do see them adding more startup events, but idk how likely something like that is

[idle hedge]

theres a command on java that just fills biomes.

it can just be like that.

[muted kindle]

Maybe it's more likely than I think due to them adding dimensions with startup Scripting events

Since they did that, I wouldn't be so surpised if they did more with scripting related to world-gen ig

I still don't get why they didn't do it through the dimension folders.
If any Mojangsters are able to say why, please tell us 🙏 😭

[toxic estuary]

good episode

[calm wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/benedict-cumberbatch-doctor-strange-dr-strange-butterfly-space-gif-24974706

[toxic estuary]

Unironically this was my first demo.

Not house but Domain Expansion.

[idle hedge]

aw man

[muted kindle]

I wonder, what if someone did tickingAreaManager calls to namespace:custom_dimension1 equivalent co-ordinates as the players' in the overworld, so whenever a player moves to a different chunk, it makes a new tickingArea for a few seconds to load in generation from the custom dimension?

[toxic estuary]

I did that.

[muted kindle]

How intensive was it on the game?

Or is tickingAreaManager calls not too bad?

[toxic estuary]

It's not intensive because of my PC Build, but you do need to unload the previous one because eventually you'll reach the limit. Though tbf, I did one chunk at a time and ran it every 20 ticks. My scuffed code didn't take into account elytra though.

[muted kindle]

Ah, haha yeah Elytra would definitely break it

Or when someone activates a portal, it makes a tickingArea just in the area of the portal maybe even 20 chunk or more distance, just to preload the area.
So that way it doesn't need to generate so many chunks that might never be explored

[muted kindle]

For example, this ^

[toxic estuary]

Chunk generation for a void world isn't bad.

Plus it doesn't write to disk unless you modify the chunk so it ain't half bad.

[muted kindle]

Oh, I thought it wrote to disk. Ok that's a whole lot better than I thought lol

[toxic estuary]

No, Bedrock made this change a while ago like years that chunks are only saved to disk if it's modified.

Save for structures generating.

[muted kindle]

Wait, sorry, I meant like when generating noise or terrain for the other-side in the dimension, that would be changing terrain, no?

Or does that not count as editing terrain in the game's code?

[toxic estuary]

Oh yeah, that writes to disk.

[muted kindle]

Yeah, that's what I mean

[graceful ridge]

In my example it is very intensive
You can notice in part of the video particles not spawning from breaking blocks and items slowly falling

[muted kindle]

Ok, so it would be better to maybe just do it in a radius from where a portal is constructed. So then you don't need to save too much area and change too much of the dimension's terrain that might never be explored by the player there

[toxic estuary]

What does this mean?

[muted kindle]

When completing a portal, have the function return a boolean.
That then gets passed into another function that preloads/generates the terrain on the other side of the portal up to a certain radius with noise or structures

Ofc this is just for now when there isn't any biome or natural generation within the dimensions

So it's only a short-lived idea

Just for experimentation

[toxic estuary]

I wouldn't call 6-12 months a short lived idea. Unless of course Mojang wants to surprise us in 3 months.

[muted kindle]

Haha fair 😅

[toxic estuary]

Hell, custom biomes took so long to stabilise.

[muted kindle]

The only problem with my idea that I see, is that you'd then have to load chunks farther away chunks in the dimension when the player is in it

[muted kindle]

And the nether ones are still kinda broken atm

[graceful ridge]

As far as optimization go i did also prioritize chunks in view direction
Anyway this is really scuffed, and we should stay away from making it a standard lol

[toxic estuary]

I doubt they can stabilise custom dimensions with terrain gen in less than 6 months.

[ivory beacon]

i think they may stabilize them without it first so any packs that just want to use them for dungeons or boss arenas or other smaller scale dimensions can do it.

[toxic estuary]

That's what I suspect as well.

That should take less than 3 months.

[muted kindle]

I mean, if they have custom biomes mostly fixed, I don't see how they won't use most of that already combined with features and modify the code a little bit to make it work on custom dimensions

[toxic estuary]

Unless of course...the thing happens.

[muted kindle]

The thing?

[ivory beacon]

[muted kindle]

That is if the code doesn't need to be re-written a lot

[toxic estuary]

Random Bedrock dev after their build failed to compile.

[muted kindle]

🥲

👀

[ivory beacon]

idk whether i'm more excited for 26.4 deep dark dimension, or for the custom dimensions tbh.

(im still speculating they do it in 26.4)

[graceful ridge]

Huh

Oh

[ivory beacon]

speculation based on dungeons 2

[toxic estuary]

The thing by the way is Microsoft layoffs.

Deep Dark might never come to Minecraft. It depends on whether they put the story that the dimension got more or less destroyed or not in Dungeons 2 imo

[toxic estuary]

Buddy...

The Deep Dark is already in MC.

[muted kindle]

I mean the dimension

[ivory beacon]

i don't see why they'd put the portal in the main game, with a unique portal frame block, if they had no intention for it.

[muted kindle]

Not the biome

[graceful ridge]

Did they ever bring something from there pther games to the main one

[ivory beacon]

the portals always spawn 100% in-tact, too.

[ivory beacon]

pillagers, piglins, allays

[muted kindle]

Yeah, but I mean look at Minecraft Legends

[ivory beacon]

they were planned for spin-offs first

but the updates were just developed faster

so main game got them before the spin-off

[muted kindle]

It could all be considered "lost" or "ancient" and mightn't make it into the main game

[toxic estuary]

Yes, Dungeons introduced Illagers while Legends introduced Piglins.

[graceful ridge]

Hmm

[muted kindle]

But yeah, Illagers and Piglins were the main focus of those games, and it seems the deep dark dimension is the focus of Dungeons 2, so maybe

[graceful ridge]

Welp, might be just warden like mobs

[muted kindle]

Plus, with a bit of focus on custom dimensions stuff, it kinda does make me think a possible new vanilla dimension is coming

[ivory beacon]

I don't think they'd have made reinforced deepslate something you can't obtain or move in survival, and that takes VERY long to break, without a larger plan for it in the main game.

[ivory beacon]

and i don't think they'd reveal the dimension for the main game before dungeons 2 releases, because that'd just be bad marketing.

[muted kindle]

Especially with how Dungeons has the Deep Dark

[ivory beacon]

why throw away the hype of showing the new dimension in the spin-off first?

[muted kindle]

Like I do get why you're so hyped about the possibility, but it's not concrete that we're getting it. So I'm not going to be too hopeful atm

[toxic estuary]

Money.

[ivory beacon]

that is true. I just think there's a good chance it'll happen.

[ivory beacon]

no thats my point. There's more money to be made if they reveal the dimension in Dungeons 2.

you get people to buy the spin-off to see what's through the portal

and THEN you reveal it's coming to the main game

[toxic estuary]

Poor phrasing on your end.

[ivory beacon]

i think it makes sense with my previous message but sure.

[lime sedge]

I don't think showing the deep dark as a dimension for a trailer would generate more money than the announcement itself

[muted kindle]

If they want people to play Dungeons 2 and explore the Deep Dark dimension there, then they would get a lot more people to play Dungeons 2 just to see the Deep Dark if it isn't in Minecraft

So it would make sense for them to hold out for a long time financially before bringing the Deep Dark to Minecraft after Dungeons 2 (if they ever do so)

[lime sedge]

The Deep Dark is not a cash cow lmao

[ivory beacon]

the portal is

[proud ermine]

The wellspring will be quite refreshing to see regardless if it's a cash cow

Super excited for dungeons 2

[muted kindle]

Wellspring?

I honestly can't wait for Dungeons 2

[proud ermine]

It's a name I've seen thrown around for the sculk dimension. Something to do with the legends well of fate

[abstract urchin]

Conspiracy: Mojang withheld work on dimensions so they could get to the Warden Dimension before Partners.

[sand cosmos]

Could be used for one of those pocket dimension add-ons, where you get a limited space to build or store something

[lime sedge]

only problem is you need to pretty much make as many dimensions as you would assume players on your world on startup.

Or you use a world dynamic property and create a queue that only gets ran when a player requests to make their own dimension, then only create it when the world reloads

[finite shuttle]

Reminds me of the hacks we used to do in java before macros to get per-player bossbars from a big pre-registered pool

[lime sedge]

Actually, that seems stupid. If it's limited space you only need 1 dimension and can just create a plot system 😭

[brittle gate]

Just teleport them to a thousand blocks each

Have a set value of the room

Make players be able to expand to only a max number

Make unbreakable blocks the replace themselves when broken with creative

Boom

Although the addons that use /tp might break it tho

Can you sleep in these new dimensions?

[lime sedge]

mmmm I'd make a plot system but I know at the speed I work at that now that it's been mentioned someone here is going to do it before I even open up a world

[placid mulch]

A question for those who have already tried custom dimensions: is it necessary to restart the world to register a dimension?

[brittle gate]

Or do you just go boom

[brittle gate]

I dont think so

[lime sedge]

yes, it's restricted to startup event

[placid mulch]

Damn

[brittle gate]

Oh damn

Oh wait

You meant registering a dimension

[placid mulch]

It would be great if it didn't need to restart; I was thinking about the multi-world plugin.

[brittle gate]

/reload?

[placid mulch]

Yeah

[brittle gate]

Why tho

[placid mulch]

/reload all

[brittle gate]

Is it like creating dimensions in real time?

[placid mulch]

Yep

[brittle gate]

Why not have a set amount for now?

Like 100 or something

[placid mulch]

Ou

Nice idea

[lime sedge]

That doesn't make sense

[brittle gate]

Its not like some player is unemployed enough to run out of dimensions

[placid mulch]

XDDD

[brittle gate]

Although ticking area is limited to 10 chunks only right?

[placid mulch]

Mm

[brittle gate]

Man i just want the mining dimension ported to bedrock already

[clever vale]

can i make a void only dimensions? i wanna put the spawn for the smps there then use /execute for Dimension selecting when useing a rtp scriptevent

[brittle gate]

The dimension IS void itself

[lime sedge]

Dimensions are void only right now

[clever vale]

oooooh

[brittle gate]

Wait a minute

ISLANDS

[clever vale]

can i import a build into it?

[brittle gate]

SKY FACTORY 4

[brittle gate]

Yes

[brittle gate]

SSUNDEE

[placid mulch]

Sky block

[clever vale]

so a huge 5k X 5k spawn in its on dimension

[brittle gate]

sky factory 4 islands like the old days 🥀

[placid mulch]

Or skywars server

[brittle gate]

Wait @lime sedge can you import structures on custom dimensions?

[clever vale]

a creative mode dimension for smps like realms and stuff 0-0

[brittle gate]

Like using /structure?

[lime sedge]

yes

[clever vale]

the possibilities all infinite

HAHAHAHA

[brittle gate]

I just want a few stuff man

[placid mulch]

Yea

[brittle gate]

Nameless deity garden
Mining dimension from java
Sky factory 4

[clever vale]

if only it was in the base game not beta 🥀

[brittle gate]

Only a few months

Maybe like a few weeks

Although beta apis are probably needed

[clever vale]

man i wish i can code... i wanna break this to its limit ;w;

[lime sedge]

there's never a wrong time to learn

[clever vale]

true but idk where to start or even how

[brittle gate]

Javascript?
