Dimension Shift
by Nachtwind1
Dimension Shift lets a player keep a second dimension that mirrors the overworld at the same coordinates, and switch between the two with a button press.
What it does
The mod adds a new dimension that is an exact replica of the overworld, so one location can serve as two homes in two separate worlds. A hotkey, which players can customize, switches between the two dimensions. A command, canshiftdim, controls whether a given player is allowed to shift dimensions at all, which lets server owners decide who may use the feature.
Dimension Shift also adds a new resource to collect. Alternative Diamonds are found only in the Alternative Dimension, and a gamerule called spawnAlternativeDiamonds turns their generation on or off. The author describes the mod as offering room for exploration and resource gathering beyond what the base game provides.
The mod runs on Forge only, for game versions 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1 and 1.5.0 as the latest file. It is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It works with normal map generation made using MCreator, and the author notes that other map types are not supported.
