Starting Dimension

by jmane2026

Starting Dimension lets a server owner choose the dimension where new players spawn, and the dimension where players are sent after death.

What it does

The mod is a utility for NeoForge modpack developers who want a custom world to be the place players start in. It creates the folder structures a custom dimension needs and includes templates for the dimension and its dimension type. The dimension name, the dimension type file and the dimension JSON must match, and the config file startingdimension-common.toml sets the properties that control the spawn. Global Packs is required: on first boot the mod generates the required data pack inside the global packs folder.

The spawn can be placed roughly, and the respawn can be kept away from the spawn point even when a player has set one. A netherlike dimension can be set as the place players are forced to after death, regardless of their spawn. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Its files are released under the All rights reserved license, which is not an open source license.

Key features

  1. Custom starting dimension

  3. Death dimension

  4. Included templates

    Templates for a dimension and its dimension type are shipped, with an example dimension named Frozen Wasteland.
