Dimensions are JSON files located in data packs that define new dimensions for the game. These dimensions can be accessed with /execute in <dimension> run teleport <coordinates>. Any dimensions are loaded once the world is opened, not on reload; so any change or addition to the file require the world to be restarted to apply, and not just running /reload.
Usage
New dimensions are stored as JSON files within a datapack, at the path data/minecraft/dimension/<namespace>/<name>.json[until JE 1.16.2] data/<namespace>/dimension/<name>.json[upcoming: JE 1.16.2].
Dimension syntax
- The root tag.
- type: The namespaced ID of the dimension type. Can also point to a hardcoded dimension type, but hardcoded ones may only be used once, while custom ones can be reused.
- generator: Generation settings used for that dimension.
- type (string): The ID of the generator.
minecraft:followed byflat,noiseordebug. - Other compounds (see below)
- type (string): The ID of the generator.
Generator types
- type: The ID of the genarator. One of
noise,flat, ordebug.- If type is
minecraft:noise, additional fields are as follows:
- If type is
- settings: The noise settings used in this generator. Can be set to an ID of noise settings, or a object of noise_settings.
- biome_source: Settings dictating which biomes and biome shapes.
- type: The type of biome generation. One of
multi_noise,fixed,checkerboard, orthe_end.- If
typeis multi_noise(3D biome generation used in the nether, and in the overworld in snapshot 21w37a and after.) , additional fields are as follows:
- If
- preset: (mutually exclusive with biomes) An ID or an object of a multi-noise biome source parameter list.
- biomes: (mutually exclusive with preset) (Cannot be empty) A parameter list of biomes, including their IDs and target noise parameters.
- : A biome and its properties.
- biome: The biome ID. A single biome ID may be repeated several times with different parameters.
- parameters: Represent optimal intervals for where the biome should be placed. These values do not affect the generation of terrain within biomes, instead, they only affect where the game chooses to place biomes. Thinking of a six-dimensional space, in the space these intervals are defined for biomes. If the six parameters at a location based on the noise router in noise settings fall into an interval, the corresponding biome is generated here. If the six parameters at a location do not fall into a defined biome interval in this list, it uses the closest biome interval to the 6D parameter point, in order to form a transition between biomes. Parameter combinations should be unique in the biomes list.
- Noise parameter for biome (See Biome for usages of each parameter in vanilla game)
- If
typeis the_end(Biome generation used in the end with biomeminecraft:the_endin the center and other end biomes around) , no additional field. - If
typeis fixed(single biome) , additional fields are as follows:
- : A biome and its properties.
- biome: The ID of the single biome to generate.
- If
typeis checkerboard(A biome generation in which biomes are square (or close to square) and repeat along the diagonals) , additional fields are as follows:
- If
- biomes: A list of biomes that repeat along the diagonals. Can be a ID of biome or a tag of biome, or a list of biome IDs.
- scale: (optional, defaults to 2) Value between 0 and 62 (both inclusive). Determines the size of the squares on an exponential scale.
- If type is
minecraft:debug(used for Debug world generation) , no additional fields. - If type is
minecraft:flat(used for Superflat world generation) , additional fields are as follows:
- type: The type of biome generation. One of
- settings: Superflat settings.
- Flat generation settings
- type: The ID of the genarator. One of
Dimension type syntax
- The root
- Custom dimension/Data

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.
== Usage ==
The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.
A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].
It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].
