DimensionalLayers
by hohserg
DimensionalLayers lets a world built on CubicChunks be split into dimensions that each stack several generation layers, configured per layer on Forge for 1.12.2.
What it does
Each dimension in a DimensionalLayers world can be given its own set of layers, and the settings of every layer can be chosen separately. A configuration can be saved as a preset and reused, so the same layer layout can appear in more than one dimension. Players who want a specific mix of terrain in each dimension set the layers up before generating the world.
The mod needs Cleanroom Relauncher, CubicChunks and HookLib to run, and Forge is the only loader it targets. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files cover 1.12.2 only, and the latest is 5.5, published 2026-03-10 on the beta channel. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Per-dimension layers
Dimensions can be generated with a chosen number of layers, each one with its own settings.
Layer presets
Layer configurations can be saved as presets and applied to other dimensions, so setups stay consistent.
Long first load
The first time a world is entered it can take about 5 minutes to finish generating, so players should expect a wait.
Pre-generation advice
The author suggests a pre-generation tool such as WorldBorder or CCPregen to generate the map ahead of play.

What the author says
It's possible to configure what dimension will be at what layer, some settings per layer, and save preset. First entering the world may take ~5 mins, so don't worry, just wait.
