get ModDimension as DimensionType

[bibouche_]

Hi, I am currently trying to make a block that teleports the player in my custom dimension, and I runned into an issue. Indeed, for my player.changeDimension(), I need a DimensionType, and with my DefferedRegistrer I can just get a ModDimension, so I wanted to know if there is a way to get it as a DimensionType, otherwise it's quiet annoying as I can't make it to work

Thanks

Have you tried using player.changeDimension(yourdimensionclass.yourdimension.get())

I am not very familiar with dimensions yet, but I believe that that should work...

My dimension class extends Dimension, but when I get it with DefferedRegister, it returns a ModDimension, not a DimensionType, and that's the point

Have you tried using you biome provider?

Hmm nope, I haven’y tried that, however I am not sure if I can get a dimension with biome provider 😕

`DimensionManager.registerOrGetDimension(ResourceLocation,ModDimension,PacketBuffer,boolean)` returns a DimensionType.

Ok, that seems decent, I’m gonna try to do this this afternoon, Ima tell you if it works

It crahses my game as soon as it execute that line of code, it may be because I don't know what to put as "PacketBuffer data" 😅, have you got any piece of idea ?

Here is the line that make it crash :

player.changeDimension(DimensionManager.registerOrGetDimension(DimensionInit.ORES_DIM.getId(), DimensionInit.ORES_DIM.get(), null, true);

You need to register the dimension during the event, like this:

@SubscribeEvent
public static void dimReg(RegisterDimensionsEvent event) {
  while (sky() == null);
}
public static DimensionType sky() {
  ModDimension sky = SKY_DIM.get();
  return DimensionManager.registerOrGetDimension(sky.getRegistryName(), sky, null, true);
}

Ok, I got that, but it it still not working 😅, plus I don't understand the interest of the while( sky() == null);
