What it adds

  • A void dimension (empty air) - /voiddim. Always lands you at a fixed spawn point.
  • A flat dimension (granite floor) - /flatdim. Returns you to your last position there.
  • A streaming dimension - /streamdim. Demonstrates opt-in streaming worldgen: chunks generate on demand as you walk, with no fixed region edge.
  • A vault dimension (0.3.0) - /vaultdim. Demonstrates the per-dimension separate inventory: your overworld items wait safely while you are inside, and the vault inventory is returned on re-entry.
  • /overworlddim - travels back to the overworld, to your last position.
  • /sendtestitem (0.3.0) - spawns a test item entity at your position and teleports it to the flat dimension, demonstrating the non-player entity transit API.
  • /sendtestblock (0.4.0) - teleports the block you are looking at (with its BlockEntity contents) to the flat dimension. Place a chest, put items in it, look at it, run the command, then check it under /flatdim at the announced coordinates.
  • /createtempdim and /destroytempdim (0.4.1) - create and destroy an ephemeral dimension at runtime, demonstrating the ephemeral lifecycle and the Destroyed signal that companions (like Chart) react to.
  • The sample also subscribes to the 0.4.0 PlayerArriving and EntityChangedDimension events and logs them to the server console, so the new transit lifecycle is observable in-game.
  • A simple portal block built on Manifold's PortalBlockBase.

For developers

Read the source as a copy-paste starting point for your own dimension mod: samples/ManifoldSample. It covers registering dimensions, picking a spawn behavior, opting into streaming worldgen, opting into a separate per-dimension inventory, registering chat commands via DimensionCommandBuilder, calling TeleportEntity and TeleportBlock, and subscribing to the transit events.

Compatibility

Vintage Story 1.21+. Universal. MIT licensed. Requires Manifold 0.4.0 or later.
