'''Dimensions''' are [[Minecraft:JSON]] files located in [[Minecraft:data pack]]s that define dimensions for the game. New dimensions added can be accessed by using commands, like {{cmd|/execute in <dimension> run teleport <coordinates>}}.

== Usage ==
Dimensions are stored as [[Minecraft:JSON]] files within a data pack, at the path <code>data/<namespace>/dimension/<name>.json</code>. Alternatively, a [[Minecraft:Custom world preset]] can be used to customize all dimensions in a world. Dimensions stored separately override the dimension set in the selected world preset. This allows datapacks to only override a single dimension while keeping the other dimensions untouched. However, the user-selected world preset then doesn't have an impact on the given dimension.

== JSON format ==
<div class="treeview">
When stored as separate dimensions, they follow the following syntax:
* {{nbt|compound}} The root tag.
** {{nbt|string|type}}: {{json ref|dimension type}}. Can be preset <code>overworld</code>, <code>the_nether</code>, <code>the_end</code>, <code>overworld_caves</code>, or a custom dimension type
** {{nbt|compound|generator}}: Generation settings used for that dimension.
*** {{nbt|string|type}}: The [[#Generator types|generator]] type as [[Minecraft:resource location]]. One of <code>noise</code>, <code>flat</code>, or <code>debug</code>.
*** Additional fields of the generator, described below.
</div>

== Generator types ==

=== debug ===
The generator type used when selecting [[Minecraft:debug mode]] in the world creation menu. This generator has no additional fields.

=== flat ===
The generator type used for [[Minecraft:superflat]] worlds.
<div class="treeview">
* Additional fields:
** {{Nbt|compound|settings}}: Superflat settings.
*** {{nbt inherit/flat generator settings}}
</div>

=== noise ===
The generator used in all the default [[Minecraft:dimension]]s.
<div class="treeview">
* Additional fields:
** {{Nbt|string}}{{Nbt|compound|settings}}: {{json ref|noise settings|inline=1}} — Settings for the noise generator.
** {{nbt|compound|biome_source}}: Settings determining the biome layout.
*** {{nbt|string|type}}: The [[#Biome sources|biome source]] type as a [[Minecraft:resource location]].
*** Additional fields of the biome source, described below.
</div>

== Biome sources ==

=== checkerboard ===
The checkerboard biome source places biomes in a checkerboard pattern.
<div class="treeview">
* Additional fields:
** {{nbt|string}}{{nbt|list|biomes}}: {{json ref/biome|tag=1}}
** {{nbt|int|scale}}: Optional. Value between 0 and 62 that defaults to 2. Determines the size of the checkerboard grid. A scale of 0 means each cell of the grid is one chunk wide. Doubles each time the scale increases.
</div>

=== fixed ===
The fixed biome source, also called [[Minecraft:single biome]], uses one specified biome everywhere.
<div class="treeview">
* Additional fields:
** {{nbt|string|biome}}: {{json ref/biome}} — The single biome to use.
</div>

=== multi_noise ===
<div class="treeview">
* Additional fields:
** {{nbt|string|preset}}: A reference to a [[#Multi noise parameter list|parameter list]]. The default parameter lists are <code>overworld</code> and <code>nether</code>.
* Or:
** {{nbt|list|biomes}}: List of biome parameters points. Needs at least one entry. Biomes can appear in more than one parameter point.
*** {{nbt|compound}}: A parameter point.
**** {{nbt|string|biome}}: {{json ref/biome}} — The biome used at this parameter point.
**** {{nbt|compound|parameters}}: The parameters of this entry
***** {{Nbt inherit/parameter point}}
</div>

=== the_end ===
The biome source used for [[Minecraft:the End]] dimension. This biome source has no additional fields.

== Multi noise parameter list ==
A multi-noise biome source parameter list is stored as [[Minecraft:JSON]] files within a data pack, at the path <code>data/<namespace>/worldgen/multi_noise_biome_source_parameter_list/<name>.json</code>. It is used to avoid changing world preset files when adding new biomes to experimental data packs.

The syntax is as follows:
<div class="treeview">
** {{nbt|string|preset}}: A reference to a hardcoded parameter list preset. The available presets are <code>overworld</code> and <code>nether</code>.
