[1.7.2] create dimensions midgame

[Jacky2611]

Is there anywhere a tutorial on how to create a dimension after the init? (Like mystcraft age books)

[Alesimula]

i didn't understand if you want to do something particular or just create a dimension from zero (to hero)

[Jacky2611]

Basically i want to add a item that players can use to create their own dimensions, like in mystcraft.

So create a dimension like you would at any other time.  There's a function for nextAvailableDim, but you'll have to look for it.  Check the DimensionManager.

 

If you don't know how to create a dimension at all, then you need to take baby steps and start simply.

nextaAvailableDim sounds good...

But the last time i coded a dimension (was before i learned java, version 1.3 or 1.4) i had to register something like a dimension id. Do i still have to register that?

[Draco18s]

Yeah.  You do.

 

nextAvailableDim just tells you what dimID is available.

So item and block ids are auto created and dimensionIds are not???

And is there any way (without external save file) to load the new dimensions in the init at a reboot?

I don't know.  I haven't delved into the mysteries of dimensions personally, I just know a handful of tangential operations that come up when using them.
