mineDimension
mineDimension sends players into a separate mining dimension, so they can gather ores without cutting into the overworld they share.
What it does
The mod adds a custom mining dimension that players enter to gather resources. Ores are generated only there, so a player can dig without breaking the terrain of the main world. The Vortexite ore appears in the overworld, next to bedrock, and the mod supports the forge:ores tag for ore generation.
On a server, the mod lets owners keep the overworld from being griefed by players who would otherwise dig through it for ore. Players reach the dimension through its own entry, and the ores there are the reason to go. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed.
