Cataclysm Dimension
by _p1nero
Cataclysm Dimension is a Forge and NeoForge world generation mod that places each boss structure from a companion Cataclysm mod into its own dimension, with unusual terrain around them.
What it does
Each boss structure from the companion Cataclysm mod is assigned to a separate dimension. Every dimension spawns one structure, placed at coordinates (0, 0). The surrounding terrain is built to look distinct from the overworld, so each dimension has its own setting for the boss structure it holds.
A default entry point is included so players can reach the dimensions without extra setup. Modpack authors can turn that entry off and supply their own method of travel. A config option keeps the original generation of the structures in the overworld, and another enables randomized placement. Placement can also be changed through a datapack.
The mod needs both the server and each player to run it, because the dimensions and their structures are generated on the server and must be loaded on the client. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is covered by All rights reserved.
Key features
One structure per dimension
Each Cataclysm structure is placed in its own dimension rather than the overworld, so the boss sites stay separate.
Fixed spawn position
Structures spawn at (0, 0) in their dimension by default, and a custom placement type can be added for this purpose.
Optional random placement
A config option lets structures spawn at random positions, and a datapack can replace the placement type instead.
Keep original generation
A config option keeps the structures in their original overworld places alongside the new dimensions.
Shader dimension setup
Shader users can add the dimension identifiers to the dimension.properties file so the nether-like lighting applies to them.

Use cases
Modpack entry points
Modpack authors can disable the default entry and build their own route into each dimension.
Adventure maps
Each dimension works as a separate destination for exploring the Cataclysm bosses in a single world.
Who it’s for: Players who already use a companion Cataclysm boss mod and want its structures placed in dedicated dimensions, and modpack authors who need control over how those dimensions are entered.
