Exotic Worlds(Toroidal World)
by Anyttng
Exotic Worlds lets a new world wrap around itself, so a player who walks far enough in one direction comes back to the start.
What it does
The mod places a shape choice on the world-creation screen. Where a finite world would end in a cut-off cliff or a barrier, the edge here is not felt at all.
The Nether and the End can follow the chosen shape, scaled relative to the Overworld with their own size. Shapes range from a torus, where both horizontal axes loop, to a cylinder, where only one axis loops and the other continues as in vanilla. Server owners can also set the shape in server.properties with a single line, using five sizes from tiny to huge, or follow a full walkthrough for custom sizes on a dedicated server.
Exotic Worlds runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge. Files cover the game versions 1.21.1 – 26.3, with the latest build for 26.3, released under a custom license and not open source. Sodium, Iris, JourneyMap, Xaero's maps and Distant Horizons are named by the author as companions and are not required.
Key features
Looping terrain
Terrain noise repeats across the world's edge, so biomes and structures continue past it.
World Shape option
A shape choice on the world-creation screen sets whether the world is a torus or a cylinder, and its size in chunks.
Scaled Nether and End
The Nether and End follow the chosen shape and are scaled relative to the Overworld, with their own size.
Server setup by one line
A single level-type entry in server.properties creates a shaped world, with five sizes available.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Running a multiplayer server
Server owners can run a survival server where players never reach a border, and each one can keep walking in the same direction.
Long walks and exploration
Players sailing or flying across the world can pass the far side and arrive back where they started after several laps.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a world without an edge, and players who explore large maps and want terrain that continues across the world's limits.

What the author says
Walk around the world. The world has a finite size and no edge: cross the border on one side and you walk in from the opposite side, with no barrier, no teleport and nothing to see where you crossed. Or run an SMP where nobody can outrun anybody forever. How it does that, in short: how it works.
