how many dimensions can one add to minecraft? is there a limit? is there a point where too many can become an issue (obviously HD space wise)

if that is the issue is it possible to make a world cap in your dimensions, IE the world only generates to x - 10,000 to + 10,000 z - 10,000 to +10,000 or something to combat that issue ? because i need to create 100 different and separate world types (sort of like biomes but they cannot be linked in the same world)

1. How many dimensions can one add to minecraft?

From: package net.minecraftforge.common.DimensionManager

private static Hashtable<Integer, Integer> dimensions = new Hashtable<Integer, Integer>();

 

So the answer is - a reasonable amount of dimensions.

 

2. Is there a limit?

3. Is there a point where too many can become an issue?

 

Read 1 - "reasonable amount". So probably 100 won't be a problem.

 

4.  Is it possible to make a world cap in your dimensions?

 

If you mean trimming - then yes. BUT I would rather go with events on that - consider using PlayerEvent to keep player inside given boundaries. And if you are asking about making an "edge of the world" where if player comes he will just fall to void - then You will have to use some Chunk event (there is one in which you could set world beyond some x/y to always be 0 (air).

There might be better one, but ths would work too

@SubscribeEvent
public void populateChunk(PopulateChunkEvent.Pre event)

 

5. I need to create 100 different and separate world types.

i want to begin by saying this is definitely the highlight of my morning hahaha!!! that made me laugh quite a bit reading this

 

thanks that answered pretty much all of my questions

 

and by world cap a point where a player couldnt travel any further is the best idea thanks! i can achieve that easily enough

 

i was only thinking about making a sort of world cap because a multiplayer server + 100 dimensions could = some serious hard drive space used up for world saves... cause all servers have those people who travel to X - 10000000 to build a house if that happens on every dimensions it could use a lot of space

 

to answer your question to why i need 100 dimensions - http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Aincrad
