I don't know where to put this, but each book found in an end ship actually contains a proper sentence if you look at the .dat files. for example one of the books says restore Minecraft 3D: Lost Floppies --86.160.122.173 16:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

also does anyone know what is happening at 1:00 in the mojang announcement video --86.160.122.173 16:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

It looks like a simulation of Langton's Ant. It has been made in Minecraft before, maybe it's a hidden biome in this snapshot? --68.38.115.97 16:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

The ant block can be found at the origin of the 'ant' dimension, can confirm it's a simulation of Langton's Ant after observing it for 11,000 steps (it produces the same design as the wikipedia design) 75.102.129.72 17:31, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

A block called Cursor was added, it just flashes black and green without any other uses of which I am aware. --109.66.27.128 16:48, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

I got the antblock to move, you place it on a black concrete path between white concreate --86.160.122.173 16:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Have any of you noticed how in certain dimensions, blocks fade into different colors in a pattern? Could this be the environmental storytelling mentioned in the minecraft.net blog post? --86.160.122.173 17:44, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Notable books list
There should be a separate section for a list of notable books. Some that have been found so far are 'fleet', 'ant', 'library', 'retro', 'sponge', 'shapes', and 'busy'. Jakbyte (talk) 18:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

'content' and 'llama' also lead to unique dimensions. --KamekSans (talk) 18:34, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Addendum: Xisumavoid has included a list of most/all notable dimensions in his most recent video. they are as follows:

ant, basic, blacklight, blue, brand, bridges, busy, chess, colors, content, credits, custom, darkness, decay, fleet, gallery, green, holes, isolation, library, llama, message, missing, notes, nothing, origin, patterns, perfection, pillars, red, retro, rooms, shapes, slime, spiral, sponge, terminal, tunnels, wall, zones --KamekSans (talk) 18:41, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Doing '/warp america' once says that the command failed, and doing it again will crash the game. Jakbyte (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

I actually made a website where u can list all interesting dimenstions u find plz dont ban me Diamonddemon669 (talk) 11:12, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I also made a list in the comments on the second youtube video on the main page for this snapshot

I will copy it here


 * "corona" - huge lava lake next to birch forest
 * "minecraft" - bedrock flatworld
 * "hello" - pumpkins, concrete, slime, end style obsidian pillars
 * "dab" - door sounds, multicolored end ships everywhere
 * "DiamondDemon" - end ships, with a dark shader
 * "diamond" - end ships littered with starter chests
 * "code" - A dimension that repeatedly plays the "Mojang" sound effect that occurs during this snapshot's loading screen and contains jigsaw blocks. This dimension is very laggy when generating and likely to crash the game.
 * "freedom" - A dimension resembling the nether but with grass blocks and flowers overlaying everything.
 * "praw" - "Warp" backwards; similar to the "freedom" dimension except the netherrack is replaced with TNT. It seems that naturally generated redstone ore can cause the TNT to explode on it's own and induce game-breaking lag.
 * "end" - desert biome, mushroom biome with carpet-spruce trees hostile mobs spawn every second
 * "2020" - end gateways and soul sand everywhere
 * "april fools" - snow biome, ghasts, end gateways
 * "emerald" - warped soil everywhere, islands made of one random block

"dump" dimension
Somebody is insistng that "dump" is one of the easter egg dimensions because it contains ant blocks. To me, it just looks like this dimension coincidentally and randomly had ant blocks in it as the dimension does not appear to have any other unusual features.

Is the "dump" dimension one of the 42 hard-coded ones? If not, I don't think it should not be put under the Easter egg dimensions heading, if mentioned at all Diwtbgyg (talk) 00:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * no, the "dump" dimension isn't the only one with naturally generating ant blocks, the ant blocks have also been found in the "bananas" dimension.--68.20.13.0 02:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Stabby McStabface
Why are we assuming it's related to Boaty McBoatface? This was a meme a good 15 years previous to that. It's like saying "mickey dees" is a reference to a mcdonalds commercial, despite the fact that it took the company 25 years to reference the slang that the public had been using since the 80s at least. Or like a 14 year old hearing The Weekend use a phrase and just assuming he invented it. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.67.123.123 (talk). Please sign your posts with 23:22, 1 April 2020

Passphrase Dimension
Hi everyone. After reading this article and finding the dimension with the passphrase (the one with the Jurassic Park reference), I've been intrigued on the passphrase. So, naturally, I started digging around in Minecraft's code when I came across the "last page" code in the snapshot jar. It contains a function which decrypts some bytes and a string (presumably the one we warp to the world with) and I've been trying to decode this string. Has anyone else here attempted to check out what's going on? - 68.104.12.124 08:20, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Could you post the function? Ripstikerpro (talk) 09:16, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Me again. Here's the link. https://gist.github.com/snekery/dc214d48612ce907e8b5db8d9f293ab5 This code just uses standard Java libraries. 68.104.12.124 09:45, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

What is the new advancement's actual name?
Hello,

In this April Fools' snapshot, they added a new advancement for visiting one billion of the dimensions. But what is the name? Is it called "You're Almost There," or "Almost There"? Also, which letters are capitalized? If you know, please say what the advancement's correct title is. Thank you! --Purpur4 (talk) 21:57, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * It's "Almost there". -PancakeIdentity (talk) 22:01, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Is the "there" capitalized? --Purpur4 (talk) 23:20, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * No. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 03:25, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

is there 44th easter egg dimension?
since the 43 dimension requires you to enter a passphrase, what happens when you enter the correct one? does it bring you to a new dimension that is completely different? also, since mojang had said there's 42 crackable easter egg dimensions, there might be more dimensions that might take us longer to find. --194.182.85.21 00:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

I've checked the decompiled source code, and I can confirm that there are only 43 special-cased dimensions, plus three for the Nether, Overworld and the End. For anyone who wants to independently verify, see cgu.class for the former and cgv.class for the latter. 217.96.204.87 01:44, 3 April 2020 (UTC)


 * An easier way to check is just looking at DimensionGenerator.java. But yes, there's only 43 total. The easily cracked ones from that file and the encrypted one. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 03:25, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Elder guardian effect

More easter-eggs?
https://twitter.com/0x00716f62/status/1245420291620327424 Talks about there being 42 crackable ones, it also speaks of at least 2 hints. (both being found already) does this mean there are at least more than 44 dimensions?--86.88.201.242 10:29, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

The two hints were about 2 of the 42 crackable dimensions (specifically "library" and "notes") --194.182.85.21 16:47, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Retro dimension Easter egg
In the retro Easter egg dimension I found that at the coordinates, -78 / 97 / 16, there is a symbol made out of lime green concrete. This appears to be the logo of the tech company, Apple. However, this was not noted in the main article of 20w14infinite. EDIT: Probably a coincidence. --Oekkio (talk) 23:42, 3 April 2020 (UTC) --Oekkio (talk) 23:45, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Is there a page with a list of interesting dimensions?
Not Easter egg dimensions, just interesting ones. For instance, I know someone who escaped /warp t, which is a very interesting dimension imo. 69.245.68.75 00:23, 3 April 2020 (UTC) =

Buffet Worlds
Under the biome section, the page says this:

Biomes that are discovered by player through the changed portals are added to the list of biomes when creating a buffet world, including _generated:id biomes.

If I entered a dimension with random biomes and then attempted to create a buffet world, none of the random biomes appear in the menu, even if I try to use the re-create option for the world with custom dimensions.

Should this text be removed?

Page title
Only the JSON file calls it "20w14infinite"; in-game it says "20w14~" in the window title (I can't remember the name on the menu screen); and Minecraft.net says 20w14&infin;. So, which title should this page have?  Nixinova  T</b> </b> C</b> </b> 03:00, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm in favor of moving it to 20w14&infin; as well, shall we have a strawpoll ? --Ripstikerpro (talk) 19:29, 15 April 2020 (UTC)


 * We don't hold polls when making decisions like these; instead we usually discuss it on talk pages and try to come to a consensus (where the arguments/concerns supporting the "vote" are taken into account, unlike a poll). – Sonicwave talk  19:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)


 * So far, no one has objected. I think we should wait 2-3 more days and if there are no counter-arguments then the we move this page to 20w14∞. Torch.gif TheTNT 1500 Soul Torch.gif 20:43, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Brute-forced list of dimensions and their warp strings
I made a brute force dimension searching program a while ago and someone suggested I post the results here, as someone could find them useful. Here's a pastebin with a list of warp strings that generate dimensions with low IDs, including 0, 1, and 2; high IDs; single letter warps; and collisions for "special" dimensions: https://pastebin.com/Bi5UBb0X

This confirms that dimensions 0, 1, and 2 correspond to the nether, overworld, and the end, respectively, and that 2147483647 is a normal generated dimension. 217.96.219.55 20:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Style of generation section incorrect (superflat doesn't exist; no mixing)
The "Style of Generation" section of the page makes the claim that four generator styles exist, and they can be mixed based on biome. Both of these claims are wrong. I have reverse engineered the dimension generation code shortly after the update was released, and there only exist three possible generators: The Overworld, the Nether and the End (or skylands;  ). You can verify that the "superflat" type does not exist by going into dimensions that are supposedly superflat and doing a /debugdim command. They will all be using Overworld generation. The seemingly superflat biomes generate because there is a 1 in 5 chance that the default fluid will be replaced with a random solid block instead of water or lava. You will find that the superflat biomes are actually all vanilla ocean biomes. Some interesting examples would be the magma block ocean in the warp  or the target block ocean in the warp. Fluid blocks can also be replaced with nether generation, see  for example, where the default solid block is diamond, and the default fluid is netherite blocks. This is not possible for end biomes, as no fluid generates there at all (outside of biome decorators and structures).

Regarding mixing generation types per biome: Since the generator style is specified for the entire dimension, this should be enough to disprove that part. I believe people were confused because they saw vanilla ocean biomes with an unusual default fluid block next to crazy generated biomes, or possibly by not noticing they've been warped above the nether ceiling (for example, in the dimension with warp, the Nether ceiling is covered in snow, which gives the impression that the world is superflat). 217.96.184.40 00:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
