The Vibe & The Sundering:

🌍The Vibe & The Sundering are brand-new dimensions and alternative overworlds that introduce many new biomes, including overworld structures and the stronghold! Getting there may sound tedious, but is quite simple. First, you'll need just 1 Lodestone and a 3x3 Polished Deepslate frame around the Lodestone for The Vibe. For The Sundering, you'll also need a Lodestone in the middle, but a 3x3 Netherrack frame around it. A visual example is shown here:

The Vibe gateway visual example.

Enter The Vibe/The Sundering by standing on top of the Lodestone for 3 seconds. Once you've entered either dimension, a gateway will also spawn on the other side.

⚠️ The Vibe & The Sundering are still very new features that are built on experimental features in Minecraft. Expect some issues when entering either dimension.
