I added a Portal Dimension in Minecraft 1.19 | New in Town: Dimensions

Hello there Ken nukarob here welcome back to another new in town Dev diary today we’re going to be taking a look at some of the new content in new in town Dimensions which has just now been updated to Minecraft version 1.19 at long last that’s right you can finally

Enjoy new in town Dimensions alongside new in Town’s latest update to fortified updates for Minecraft version 1.19 and above it’s been a long time coming I want to thank you guys for the patience let’s go ahead not waste any more time and start getting into the in-between

And some of the new portal logic that’s been uh edited behind the scenes so right now we are of course in the mayor’s office this is where typically new in town Dimensions is going to begin for most players this is where you get the books for the fleet manifest

Excavation list for later on and with a recipe for the mysterious portal is uh you can still as always access the in-between Dimension by killing a phantom with a spectral Arrow which is represented here in the mayor’s office as well but this building still serves as the primary bridge between new and

Town proper and the dimensions expansion pack let’s go ahead and build Our Mysterious portal here and still the same as always we are going to get some Invaders coming in I’ve gone ahead and disabled it for this uh you know demonstration but typically for illagers are going to spawn when you

Uh build your mysterious portal or when you spawn it by killing a phantom um but because I didn’t want to waste any time I’ve disabled it for this demonstration we get our portal here the portal to the in between Nexus of Worlds both the mayor’s office and the portal

Are able to be built without the expansions uh data pack without the dimension expansion pack so that’s why you have a sign here and in the office for you to download if you so choose you can just click this here and be able to access that and download that if you

Don’t already have it if you do have it of course then you can go ahead in survival mode and access the in-between by stepping into the water this works exactly the same as it always has but the portalogic has been significantly improved you’ll see here for one we actually spawned right here

On the ground instead of up in a tree you can still spawn in a tree but if there is a portal nearby then it’s going to try and drop you off at that portal on that existing portal and much more reliably there were times before that it

Could bug out a little bit and you’d end up with portals on top of portals on top of portals but just for demonstration I’m going to step through this portal again and then back again and we’ll see that very reliably we are able to have the same portal BR entry point

Without creating a new one over top of it you’ll see here no uh no clipping of a second portal trying to replace this one so we are now in the in between all the dimensions have undergone pretty significant changes um this is due to the changes that were

Done to Minecraft Terrain in general ooh it’s very bright sorry um in uh you know 1.18.2 and then of course furthermore in 1.19 which is why this update has taken so long so today we’re going to be going over all of the changes that have come to the in between

As a result that I’ve had to make to allow for this update most of them in the in between are going to be honestly pretty minor but let’s go ahead and hop over to the Gap here the sky here and see generally the terrain is a little

Bit less flat the old in between was definitely very level whereas now you’re going to get a lot more of these dips a lot more these smaller islands that might be a little bit lower still not going to get very many higher that is something that I can still control but

It’s going to feel a little more like a traditional Skylands than it used to we also have fewer bios and some new biomes so first off I’m sure you’ve already noticed we’ve got over here this bright pink biome Forest you know Reds and bright vibrant greens this is the

Cherry woods so this biome is replacing the Woolen Woods mostly for visual distinction the Woolen Woods or I’m sorry not the long ones that’s the Woolen Woods over there the wooded Hills most of that is visual distinction the wooded Hills were more vibrant than the Woolen woods but they didn’t live up to

Their name they were not necessarily more uh hilly than the Woolen woods so there wasn’t a lot of point in keeping them the Cherry Woods are much more visually distinct they do have the brighter green grass but now these much more Stark Reds and bright pinks and rods hanging from the leaves beautiful

Enchanting kind of forest as the whole in between is an ought to be um so that now just much more visually distinct by I’m still enchanting but for different reasons this biome does feature frogs as well as of course these fancy mangrove trees made of stripped Mangrove logs and of course these pink

Uh leaves up here other than the visual distinction there’s no functional difference between any of the biomes here in the in between with one exception being the battlefield still but you can still get in between portals naturally spawning here if you’re not familiar with new in town dimensions and the in-between of course

Due to the amount of time it’s been since it’s been available for an updated version here in the in between this is basically as the sign at beginning set the Nexus of Worlds so here in the in between much easier to tell if we come over this way portals naturally spawn so

You’ve got your portal that you entered from that’s going to be your way back to the Overworld back to your town but then you’ve got naturally generating portals here they spawn in all biomes a little bit easier to find them here in the sparkling Glacier which is more or less

Unchanged perhaps just a little more consistent with the the amount of ice that is visible compared to Basalt just a little bit sticking out unfortunately but uh yeah this is how you’re gonna be able to access all the other dimensions by finding these naturally spawning

Portals none of them will take it to the Overworld they will all take you to some of the other three dimensions that new in town Dimensions adds we’re not going to be going through them right now though this is just about the in between um so of course we’ve still got portals

Generating quite a bit you can find them a little more easily with the command you can actually search them now thanks to Minecraft adding this ability so we can do locate structure knit dim if we do in between we can search for portals I have send command feedback turned off

But you would normally get a little text message to take you to the closest portal if you so chose now of course it’s worth noting that that isn’t always going to work because sometimes portals can spawn in the sky and when that happens they get deleted but Minecraft

Still recognizes that as a valid portal site unfortunately not a real way at all to stop that but still going to be generally reliable there’s enough land around that if you’re trying to use the effect or use the command outside of a very large Sky section like this you’re

Going to pretty reliably be able to find a portal now of course you can use a very similar command in order to find ruined towns as we’ve done here those still of course will generate in the in between here we have a very convenient one a very well

Hidden you know tucked down in this Cliff lots of heavy Forest around it to kind of obscure it but the guard Tower still gives it away these are basically exactly the same as they used to be you’ve got the wagon which will always spawn and then up to four other sites

That can spawn with varying degrees of loot this is a farm plot ruins doesn’t have anything and then the guard Tower is well empty doesn’t have anything doesn’t even have ladders for you to climb up the wagon will generally have a chest not always it can spawn without it that’s intentional

Um if you haven’t been aware though something that was added in uh a couple updates ago I think the last update um which didn’t have really a video for uh now in the ruined towns you can find these settlers journals this is Settlers Journal number four um and there are seven I believe

Settlers journals in fact if we collect this uh they have advancements associated with them so if we take a look at our advancements here go to new in town up here you see we have startling Foe for finding air building uh a portal we’ve discovered a ruined

Town and we have one of seven of this uh twisted turn advancement uh which is achieved for uncovering the complete history of the illagers here in the in between so if you collect all seven of the settlers journals you get a good idea of what the illagers were doing

Here in these ruined towns and why they’re ruined um do we happen to be quite near a battlefield now so we’ll check out this biome next um this biome as well is largely Unchained still has the sky coloration changes that come with it but of course

Since I have shaders on uh that’s much much less obvious uh but this is supposed to be a very very sad very dark uh biome we’ve got Graves all over the place wither roses uh and in this biome we can also find war machines uh the ruins of the tyrants uh prior invasions

Looks like we may not be able to find one here in this biome uh they’re a little bit more rare now since all the structures have been separated so it used to be basically portals and war machines and ruined towns were all the same structure that just generated

Differently but now they are they are different structures they all have different spawning conditions so one machine’s going to be a little bit more rare same with ruined towns but you can still find them here in the battlefield uh just no not in any other biomes now you’ll notice here we’ve got the

Battlefield and then we transition pretty much straight away to Woolen Woods uh we’ve got Cherry Woods over here and transition once again pretty much right away oh look at that ruined Town very fun uh into a sparkling Glacier so we have removed the beach biome and the outskirts bio in addition

To that wooded Hills biome largely because they uh they weren’t very useful um they didn’t they used to be there for kind of transitionary biomes that’s something that’s been removed from a lot of Dimensions is these biomes that serve basically just to transition You from

One biome to another but with a lot of the the changes to terrain those became much less necessary and here in the in between I would say it was no exception so Beach and outskirts have been removed um but in exchange we get these beautiful cherry woods and much more

Consistent portal and ruined town and War Machine spawning that you can reliably find with structures um that is pretty much all that’s new in the in-between uh we talked of course about the the small changes to the terrain but this Dimension was much less affected than Dimensions like the uh

Buried ocean and primordial desert which we’ll take a look at in later videos um I do hope that you’ve enjoyed taking a look at the the new in between at least as as similar as it is and I hope that you’ll stick around to see uh in

Future videos the changes to the other dimensions to seafarers and to excavators that we’ll be taking a look at of course if you can’t wait for those videos these uh changes are all publicly available now you can go play new in town Dimensions right now by following

The link in the description and you can enjoy it in 1.19 alongside the newest new in town update the Fortified update which also uh was just recently released changes to castles to walls and lets you upgrade some sights so lots of exciting stuff in both data packs I hope you guys

Will check it out thanks for watching I will see you guys later
