JABV : Just A Big Void
by prototype-xk
JABV adds a non-craftable gateway block that opens into a void dimension, where each block travelled in the Overworld maps to 100 blocks in the void, a 1:100 ratio.
What it does
Placing a gateway block builds a 3x3 obsidian platform around it, with the portal block raised above the platform. The portal block cannot be crafted, so a player has to find or receive it through other means, which suits modpacks that lock progression behind items. The void dimension keeps a standard day and night cycle and has precipitation, and its biome is registered with 100% humidity, so weather and humidity-based systems behave as they would in a normal world.
The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with a single file, 1.0.0, released on 2026-05-21. Both the server and every player need it, because the dimension and portal exist on each side. JABV is not open source, and its code is under All rights reserved. Its biome is set to be compatible with GregTech systems that rely on humidity.
