DimLib
by qouteall
DimLib, a Fabric library by qouteall, lets other mods and server operators create, clone, remove and inspect dimensions while the game is running.
What it does
Dimensions can be added at runtime from a preset or as a copy of an existing one, such as the overworld, with its dimension type and chunk generator carried over. Cloning through the dims command copies the dimension type and world generator, and the option to clone blocks and entities is described as an extra step. Removing a dimension is possible on a running server, and a delete command clears its saved world data. Dimension details, including the dimension type ID and chunk generator configuration, can be shown with a command.
DimLib exposes a DimensionAPI class for other mods to call, and its javadoc is the reference for those methods. Its client side keeps dimension information in sync when dimensions change, and it updates command completion so newly created dimension IDs appear as suggestions. A config option can suppress the Worlds using Experimental Settings warning, which some users want to disable. The mod depends on Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, across the 1.20.4 and 1.21.1 game versions. It is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
