Mining Dimension
by Tallons
Mining Dimension lets players craft a portal staff and portal frame to open a new dimension built around mining, with custom ores and gems.
What it does
Crafting a portal frame and a portal staff opens a custom portal to a new dimension. The dimension is laid out like the overworld, with its own ores, gems and an ore totem, so mining there is the main activity. Players build the frame, activate it with the staff and travel between the two worlds through the portal.
Stone, cobblestone and bricks can be crafted in new forms, and copper blocks and glowstone can be compressed into denser storage blocks. Those materials suit storage builds and crafting setups. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Mining Dimension runs on Forge only and is published as a single file for 1.19.2, released 2023-10-14 on the beta channel. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Custom dimension portal
A portal frame crafted from custom materials activates into a new dimension, reached from the overworld.
Portal staff
A crafted staff is used to create and open the portal to the mining dimension.
Custom ores and gems
The dimension generates its own ore and gem types, along with an ore totem and DensOre generation.
Compressed storage blocks
Copper blocks and glowstone can be compressed into denser blocks, and stone, cobblestone and bricks gain craftable variants.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Mining trips
Players can leave the overworld for a dedicated mining area and return through the portal when the trip is done.
Compact storage
Compressed copper and glowstone blocks reduce the space needed to keep bulk materials.
Who it’s for: Players who want a mining-focused dimension added to a survival world, and server owners who want a shared mining area. The mod needs Forge and must be installed on the server and on every client.
How it compares
No Dimension is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is open source under the MIT License for Fabric and Forge across 1.19.3 – 1.20.4. XLands is client-side only, runs on 1.19.2 and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Mining Dimension needs both sides, so every player has to install it.
