Additional Dimensions
by compactdisk
Additional Dimensions gives a world several extra dimensions, each themed on one material, with a portal igniter crafted for each one.
What it does
Each added dimension is named for a material: dirt, wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond, emerald and TNT. Players reach one through a portal lit with an igniter, and each igniter is crafted from its own resources. The author describes the set as some useful dimensions with full resources behind them.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2 only, and the single release is 1.0.0. Client and server both need it, so a multiplayer server and every player must install it. Additional Dimensions is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its public links cover the issue tracker only.
Key features
Dirt dimension

Crafted portal igniters

Full resources
The dimensions come with their own resources, so the set is more than a list of empty worlds.
