Hey all! I am making a mod and it adds a new dimension. I have been looking for a tutorial on how to do this with the new Forge 4.x (1.3.2).

 

If anyone could point me towards a tutorial or source to a mod that adds a new dimension I would really appreciate it.

 

I have been debating on decompiling Twilight Forest to see how they did it, but I don't want to worry about complex code that is obfuscated.

 

Thanks!

In your @Mod file, in your load method, you can start with registering your dimension:

 

DimensionManager.registerProviderType(DimensionID 1 = overworld 0 = nether -1 = end or something, YourWorldProvider.class, shouldAlwaysbeLoaded true/false);

DimensionManager.registerDimension(DimensionID, DimensionID);

 

For your worldprovider class just copy worldproviderhell and change a few things, you also have to make a new chunkprovider, worldchunkmanager, your portal block, how it starts, your teleporter. i think that's it. Just see in the already existing files how minecraft did it, and in your portalblock class,  in the onEntityCollidedWithBlock method use this:

var6.timeUntilPortal = 10;

var6.mcServer.getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(var6, DimensionID, new YourTeleporter());

For teleporting to your dimension. I think that should work for you

thanks i'll use that method insead of DimensionAPI as it doesn't work very well atm

i copied the BlockPortal class renamed it and changed the blocks to mine but i can't find the var6 your talking about.

 

public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, Entity par5Entity) {
    if(par5Entity.ridingEntity == null && par5Entity.riddenByEntity == null) {
        par5Entity.setInPortal();
    }
}

Thank you laifsjo! I will try what you said when I get home from school tonight!

DimensionManager.registerProviderType(DimensionID 1 = overworld 0 = nether -1 = end or something, YourWorldProvider.class, shouldAlwaysbeLoaded true/false);

What...

DimensionManager.registerDimension(DimensionID, DimensionID);

What...

 

What do i put in my onEntityCollidedWithBlock because there is not a 'var6' anywhere in that method

Found the 'var6' he was on about, it was EntityPlayer and MinecraftServer, you can't use the methods he's on about because they are not static, i would make them static but i do not want to edit base files. does anyone know a different way to make it use my teleporter class and not the default one
