How to make a custom dimension in minecraft | MCreator Minecraft modding tutorial

Hello today we are i’m going to show you how to make a new dimension in minecraft for building or if you just want to make a mod so first we’re getting mc creator if you don’t know how to do that you can download it from this website i’ll put down in the description

Mccreator.net snapshots make sure it’s a snapshot because there’s a lot of bugs in the non-snapshots or and sometimes and they won’t go in 1.16.5 as we may want it so you go ahead and download this one 2021.1b12313 download it and if and then once you install it

You can go back and then you click click new workspace select where you want it display name and your mod id and all the other stuff you can also get plugins for mcm creator and then you could get fabric mods or spigot mods or just make data packs

But let’s do um a forge mod so let me type in forge mod i don’t know what i’m doing then create a new workspace and then it’ll give you this thing that says hang on we’re almost there you just exit out of that and here and while setting up gradle project

If it says there’s an error um then you could just go into the files and delete the gradle folder of this project because that probably means it’s an outdated gradle that happened a lot with all the older versions of m creator which is why i’m suggesting you to get the snapshot version

So uh we just wait for this to finish i’ll come back when it’s finished okay so now it’s finished we will examine this by going to workspace so we have all these elements let’s just add an element this is all there’s all these elements fuel function gui

Game rule music disc and like there’s pretty much everything that normal mod could add so let’s just go ahead and find dimension right here or you could click d on your keyboard let’s click it enter dimension name um sky island dimension this isn’t the actual name of the dimension well it might be

But um you want you can’t have any capitals or characters that doesn’t like and do not use any existing names of an item like dirt coal diamond don’t use one of those so then now you’ve got this thing you’ve got the normal nether and the ends i’ll put on the screen what

Each of them look like when they’re in the their dimension and i would like an end like gen here because it makes a lot of different islands so the main filler block or the block that most of them are in um you just you know search up what you want

Stuff like that and then i’m gonna make it air so it’s just nothing you just void all the way then if you have fluid like the over world this is the block the fluid is going to be in again i’m going to select air oh and for this one i’m actually

Going to avoid air for both of these because void air is actually different than no more air so um because void air will kill you i think i’m not sure you can test it out yourself biomes in this dimension this would choose like what blocks are in it i usually just choose

Void right here because that just means there’s nothing besides the base generation of here and if you’ve got the main filler block here that means you have nothing there sky fog color override if you have enabled dense fog or just sky color you select this i’m going to select a um

Pinkish color yeah this color and then sleep attempt you can have deny which just doesn’t allow them to sleep bed explodes like the nether or the end and then allow i’ll have a lao or i’ll just have bed explo um deny because i’m um also i just don’t want them sleeping in this

Biome has skylight source if you wanted like the nether Um what yeah like skylight does not like another dimension basically you do not want a skylight source because there would be blocks above you and sky skylight source does not go through this you want to have ambient light light source there so i want a skylight source in my dimension

But not an ambient light source and can play with spawn here yes because if i want them to i also set them to allow because this would be like the dimension that they can build in imitate over world this is like mob spawning stuff like that

And does water vaporize um if you want it like the nether where water vaporizes you can start like that with dense fog so now we go to the actual portal what do you want it out of you guys like this to a custom block that you’ve made

Or any block i’ll make mine out of glass um portal flame i’m gonna make it just a normal explosion or um yeah i’m gonna select one of these i’m gonna have lava as mine you just like the sound file right here i’m gonna have it as um

Ambient cave um and real far why not um so like play by the pro randomly when active so that might get annoying you might want to select something that you know you don’t exactly want to hear that much so this is where you can select the luminance of the portal frame block

How’s that mine to zero and then here you can select your dimension portal igniter so i just say um test portal ignitor so and then we can select which one you put it you can also have it in a um custom tab if you’ve made one and then here we want a texture

So let’s go ahead and go back to workspace go down here to resources create new texture and create texture you can fill up this transparency if you wanna make your other one color like transparency i’ll make your own one with no template color you want the background to be just

A base color template which is what i’ll be using i can add a template of something and then you just has no layer which means that you create the layers how you want it so i’m going to go ahead and make mine like this with 16×16 i’m gonna make it like that

And then let me just make something real quick okay so i have my basic item texture you can make it however complex you want press save this texture item and i will call him portal egg knighter or whatever you want to call it so you go to back to the skyline dimension tab

Go to your portal igniter item texture and that’s what it’s going to look like you can add a custom crafting recipe later if you would like that now you’ve got your portal block texture again let’s go ahead and make a custom block texture if you want it of course

And um i’ll just make mine yeah you can import a texture or create one you can even create one from in here so i’ll just have the fill with templates again so i can make it a little bit easier and then have this base block and again

I’ll get back to you when i’m done making this okay so i’ve got my basic texture down you save this texture i i’m pretty sure is other so you can do on portal block press okay go back to here oh never mind i did that wrong

You um we’ll save it as this time and then block portal item texture do that and then go ahead and select it here you can have some extra things triggers you’ve got these random triggers you want but for simplicity say cow leave that as it is save mod element we

Can exit out of these because they’re already saved go here skyline dimension so you can export it right here if you want to or to test it you click this green play button up here wait for it to stir it up it will run a different

Minecraft and your name will be dev but you cannot connect to any servers this way because you’re technically in offline mode in minecraft so let’s just wait okay we have it all sorted um all up so you know if you even try to go in here you’ve got the amp creator testing

Server but sometimes it says can’t connect a server but it will not allow you to connect to any other servers since you’re attaching me in offline mode right now to go single player create a new world um testing world let’s just create a new world and then we can set

Up oh and it also says using experimental settings the experiment experimental setting right here is new dimensions because that was like pretty much just added into minecraft we’re into like forage modding it’s still a little buggy so if you don’t if like don’t use this on a world you’ve

Got a ton of progress on before creating a backup so you know let’s just grab glass as we need and then i put it in tools here’s our test photo igniter it’s not it doesn’t work the same as flattened steel but as you can see it’s right here

Let’s you know put make it right here okay we have this let’s light it it’s got this says you should select a particle that isn’t exactly as much as this and also you can make the texture a little more seamless but see once you exit in it i’ve got my ambient

Light as pink and then here’s your dimension i’ll do dimension it can look however you want it can be as unique as you want or it can just be like a new overworld that’s just like if one world gets too popular you can just make yourself a mod

Only as it also has this ambient noise that is absolutely freaky and i hate it well then that will be all for this video see you guys in the next video
