[1.15.2] Reference another dimension's world for render.

[nanorover59]

So a bit of backstory here.

A while ago I wrote an experimental mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 that could take a bunch of blocks from the world, put them in a dimension registered during runtime, and then render these blocks while they are in the new dimension as a non-entity object in the original world that can be moved around, rotated, or even scaled. I call these non-entity objects "sub-worlds".

Yesterday I began updating this mod to work with Minecraft 1.15.2 and have encountered an immense amount of broken features.

 

One critical component of the sub-world rendering class that I have not been able to find a replacement for, is a line of code that references another dimension's world instance from the client. Previously this was done as follows :

int id = <The sub-world's dimension ID>;
World subWorld = DimensionManager.getWorld(id);

However, due to the way dimensions are handled now, this and many other internal mechanics of the mod no longer work.

 

Does anyone know what the equivalent for the above code would be in Minecraft 1.15.2?

Note that the FakeWorld I create there doesn't exist, doesn't save, and is basically there just to hold some tileentities so that container UIs update properly. It is likely insufficient for your needs.

 

Oh, and registration:

And all code may be out of date, I haven't poked at it on 1.15 yet.

Ok, thanks!

I will try implementing something like that. Although it might be a while until I have fixed enough of my mod's code for it to run.
