'''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 [[portal]]s. With the addition of [[data pack]]s, players can make [[custom dimension]]s to explore in ''Minecraft''.{{only|java}}

The [[daylight cycle]] and [[weather]] may work differently or not exist in different dimensions, as well as respawn points (such as [[bed]]s and [[respawn anchor]]s).

== Overworld ==
[[File:1.18 terrain.png|alt=|thumb|A Cliffs and [[Ocean]] biome in the Overworld.]]
The {{EnvLink|Overworld}} is the primary dimension in ''Minecraft''. It has a wide variety of unique [[biome]]s to explore, and is easily the most diverse of the dimensions. Players will typically spend most of their time in this dimension.

Unique features of the Overworld include:

* Sleeping in a [[bed]] skips the night and sets spawn point (explodes when used in other dimensions).
* The most biomes of any dimension.
* Surface and underground biomes.
* [[Ocean]]s containing [[water]].
* The most amount of [[ore]]s.
* Many naturally [[generated structures]].
* The most types of [[mob]]s.
* A [[daylight cycle]].
* [[Weather]].
* A total [[altitude|vertical height]] of 384 blocks, as opposed to 256 blocks for other dimensions.

== The Nether ==

{{EnvLink|The Nether}} is a dimension containing oceans of [[lava]]. The ground consists of mainly [[netherrack]] and is typically considered the underworld of the game. Entering a {{EnvLink|nether portal}} from the [[Overworld]] will take the player to this dimension. Despite the hostile nature of the dimension, there are still times of peace, though these are few and far between.

Unique features of the Nether include:

* Chaotic, messy, dangerous, cave-like terrain.
* [[Huge fungus|Huge fungi]].
* An ocean of [[lava]].
* A ceiling of [[bedrock]].
* Special ores.
* [[Piglin|PigIins]] to [[bartering|barter]] with.
* [[Bastion remnant]]s and [[Nether fortress]]es.
* Increased travel speed.
* Using a charged [[respawn anchor]] sets spawn point (explodes when used in other dimensions).
* Can't place [[water]] without a [[cauldron]].

== The End ==

{{EnvLink|The End}} is a space-like dimension with floating [[end stone]] islands, accessible with an {{EnvLink|end portal}} in a {{EnvLink|stronghold}}. It is typically considered the opposite of the Nether. The End is a barren environment, but it is the only place where some of the most unique and useful items in the game can be obtained, such as the [[elytra]] or [[shulker box]]es.

Unique features of the end include:

* Almost no bedrock.
* Direct access to the [[void]].
* Floating islands of [[end stone]].
* [[End City|End cities]].
* One of the bosses in the game, the [[ender dragon]].

=== Custom dimensions ===
* {{EnvLink|Custom}} - The dimension definitions in [[custom]] worlds.
* The [[custom dimension|dimension]] and [[dimension type]] folders of [[data pack]]s.

=== Unimplemented dimensions ===
* {{EnvLink|Sky Dimension}} - The unimplemented dimension that would have contained floating land masses and was planned to be added in the [[Adventure Update]].
* [[Bedrock Edition mentioned features|Dream Dimension]] - A briefly mentioned unimplemented then-Pocket Edition-exclusive dimension.

=== Joke Dimensions ===
In joke snapshot [[20w14∞]], about 2.14 billion (2^31) dimensions were added. These only existed in 20w14∞ and were not kept in later snapshots. There were also several easter egg dimensions, each having their own unique feature. The other dimensions were completely random.

In [[23w13a_or_b]], there is a dimension called [[the Moon]]. It is accessed by launching yourself high enough{{Expand section}}
