Vanilla World
by mahmudindev
Vanilla World keeps the original Overworld, Nether and End as separate dimensions that other world generation datapacks do not change.
What it does
Players who want unmodified vanilla terrain alongside a heavily modded world can use the dimensions this mod adds. They sit beside the standard ones and keep the original Overworld, Nether and End generation, so datapacks that rewrite biomes and terrain leave them untouched. Vanilla Biomes and a Vanilla Terrain Generation option are included, and a datapack alternative portal with an obsidian frame and a coarse dirt corner is available to reach them.
The mod depends on Dimension Fixer, Dimension Link, Fabric API and World Portal, so each of those must be installed first. It runs on the server only; players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 0.0.2 for 1.20.1 as the latest build, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. Reported bugs and compatibility issues are tracked there, and the author notes that fixes are made through GitHub. Support for 1.20.1 has been dropped in favor of newer builds.
