Sliders technology
by michelmuscle
Sliders technology is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that lets players travel to parallel dimensions through timed vortexes, inspired by the 1990s TV series Sliders.
What it does
Sliders technology brings the dimensional-exploration idea of the television series to Minecraft. Each dimension shares the same year and the same Earth, but differs in its rules. Some are populated only by cats, some are bleak realities where the Overworld has fallen to the Nether, and others run time at a different pace.
Crafting follows a progression inspired by Mekanism, and most recipes use Mekanism resources, so the technology is not accessible too early in a playthrough. The mod requires Mekanism. Immersive Portals is optional and is strongly recommended, since it lets the mod reproduce the vortex effect; the author notes that Immersive Portals has several incompatibilities, and that Per Dimension Game Rules and Patchouli are also optional but strongly recommended. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Forge 1.0.6 for 1.20.1 is the latest file, published 2026-01-17, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Random dimensional travel
A functional timer opens a vortex to a random destination among many custom dimensions, each with a predetermined duration.
Tier-based dimensions
Custom dimensions follow a tier system with spawn probabilities, and some grant bonuses while others apply dangerous penalties.
Overheating timers
Using a timer too often overheats it and forces a wait before the dice can be rolled again.
Upgradable timers
A newly built timer starts out erratic, and upgrades make it far more efficient over time.
Multiplayer utility blocks
Utility blocks are designed for shared play, and vortexes can spontaneously open so other explorers may pass through.
