Dimension

Dimensions are accessible realms within a Minecraft world characterized by a way of generation, biomes and structures, and other things unique to one dimension. Players can explore and discover various dimensions in Minecraft, typically through the use of portals. With the addition of data packs, players can make custom dimensions to explore in Minecraft.
