For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]]. |
Dimensions are parallel worlds within a Minecraft world characterized by a way of generation, biomes and structures, and other things unique to one dimension. Each dimension is its own separate 3D space, not affecting other dimensions. Players can explore and discover various dimensions in Minecraft, typically through the use of portals. Players can also make custom dimensions to explore in Minecraft.Template:OnlyTemplate:Upcoming
The daylight cycle and weather may work differently or not exist in different dimensions, as well as respawn points (such as Minecraft:beds and respawn anchors).
Overworld
Template:Main The Overworld is the primary dimension in Minecraft. It has a wide variety of unique Minecraft:biomes to explore, and is easily the most diverse of the dimensions. Players typically spend most of their time in this dimension.
Unique features of the Overworld include:
- Sleeping in a bed skips the night and sets spawn point (explodes when used in other dimensions).
- The most biomes of any dimension.
- Surface and underground biomes.
- Oceans containing Minecraft:water.
- The most amount of Minecraft:ores.
- Many naturally generated structures.
- The most types of Minecraft:mobs.
- A daylight cycle.
- Weather.
- A total vertical height of 384 blocks, as opposed to 256 blocks for other dimensions.
The Nether
Template:Main The Nether (known as DIM-1 in the files) is a hot dimension where Minecraft:lava flows equivalent to water's flow characteristics. It is so hot that Minecraft:water evaporates and wet sponges dry out the instant they are Template:Control. The ground mainly consists of Minecraft:netherrack, but soul sand covers the surface of soul sand valleys, and the basalt deltas consist of Minecraft:basalt and Minecraft:blackstone. A player can go to the Nether by entering a Nether portal in the Minecraft:Overworld. In most biomes, hostile mobs spawn and attack players, although in the warped forest only endermen spawn who don't attack players unless provoked.
Unique features of the Nether include:
- Using a respawn anchor sets spawn point and consumes a charge should death occur (explodes when used in other dimensions).
- Oceans containing lava.
- 1 block pockets of lava
- Cave-like terrain.
- Nether quartz ore, Nether gold ore, and ancient debris.
- A ceiling of Minecraft:bedrock.
- Huge fungi in the crimson forests and warped forests.
- Fog color shifts for certain biomes.
- Minecraft:Piglins to barter with.
- Bastion remnants guarded by piglin brutes.
- Nether fortresses guarded by wither skeletons and blazes.
The End
Template:Main The End (known as DIM1 in the files) is a space-like dimension with floating End stone islands, accessible with an Minecraft:End portal in a stronghold. In its center, there is a large lone island on which the ender dragon fight takes place; the outer islands are about a thousand blocks of void away from it. The End is a barren environment, but it is the place where some of the most unique and useful items in the game can be obtained, such as the Minecraft:elytra or shulker boxes.
Unique features of the End include:
- Almost no bedrock.
- Direct access to the void.
- Fire burning indefinitely on Minecraft:bedrock.
- End crystals igniting the block they're placed on fire.
- Floating islands of End stone.
- No ores.
- End flashes.
- End cities guarded by shulkers.
- End gateways to access the outer islands.
- One of the main Minecraft:bosses in the game, the ender dragon.
Custom dimensions
Template:Exclusive
Template:In development
Template:Main
Using data packs, it is possible to create custom dimensions and dimension types that have different Minecraft:biomes, world generation and properties from the regular dimensions.Template:Only Using add-ons, it is possible to create custom dimensions hwever, currently it is only possible to control scripts and there is no world generation, each custom dimension is similar to the Minecraft:overworld but without any generation, and the height limit is extended, having a minimum height of -552, allowing blocks up to -512, and a maximum block height of 512.Template:Only
Unimplemented dimensions
Sky Dimension
Template:Main The sky dimension was a scrapped dimension that would have contained floating land masses and was planned to be added in the Adventure Update. Eventually, the code for the sky dimension was repurposed for Minecraft:The End instead.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
Dream Dimension
Template:Main In a Twitch livestream, the developers briefly mentioned the idea of a "dream dimension" that would be exclusive to Minecraft:Pocket Edition.<ref>Template:Twl</ref>
Joke dimensions
Template:Expand section In multiple April Fools updates, new joke dimensions have been added for those updates only.
Infinite dimensions
Template:Main
In the joke snapshot 20w14∞, about 2.1 billion (2^31) dimensions were added. These only existed in 20w14∞ and these changes were not kept in later snapshots. There were also several easter egg dimensions, each having their own unique feature, including the ant dimension, the sponge dimension, the library dimension, the bridges dimension, the isolation dimension, the slime dimension, and the skygrid dimension. The other dimensions were completely random.
The Moon
Template:Main
In 23w13a or b, there is a dimension called Minecraft:the Moon. The Moon dimension is primarily made of Minecraft:cheese and features a mob called the moon cow. The Moon also features lunar bases which expand into a tree-like structure when activated.
Potato Dimension
Template:Main
In 24w14potato, the Potato dimension was added. It is similar to the unused Sky dimension, and features many potato-themed mobs, blocks, structures, and a boss.
