The Glitch World
by ZhiMeow
The Glitch World, a Fabric world generation mod for 1.21.8, adds a Glitch dimension that players reach through a portal built from a Glitch block.
What it does
Players build a portal in the shape of a Nether portal frame, light it with a Glitch block and step through into the Glitch dimension. The dimension holds vanilla structures and resources to explore and collect. Only the client needs the mod to be installed; a server may run it as well, but it is not required. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric on 1.21.8 only.
