The Unknown Dimension

Please see the Portal page for info on how to construct the portal and take you to the Unknown Dimension.

The Unknown Dimension is a flat land. No mobs spawn. By default there is a 1 in 2000 chance that a tree will generate in each chunk. This value can be changed in the values.cfg file.

in Minecraft 1.14 and later:

The Unknown Dimension doesn't exist yet. A Void Crystal spawns in the frame of the portal.

in Minecraft 1.12 and earlier:

Mining the tree causes an Unknown Technology to appear. When you pick up the Unknown Technology item you are teleported back to the Overworld.

You can't leave this dimension until you die or collect a Void Crystal. By default the dimension ID number is -20189. This can be changed in the config if this number conflicts with the ID number of another dimension.

History:

Date: Version: Change:
February 19, 2019 2019-0

The Unknown Dimension has existed since the first release, however I didn't program it correctly, and as a result, players often fell to their death upon entering.

November 29, 2019 v1.2

Changed the Unknown Dimension's default ID from -89 to -20189.

January 24, 2020 v1.2.2

This was the first version that was available for Minecraft 1.14. To speed up development, the Unknown Dimension was temporarily removed.

July 1, 2020 v1.3

Added a config option to "Disable the Unknown Dimension". This prevents players from teleporting to the Unknown Dimension, and instead spawns 2 Unknown Technology items inside the frame of the Portal.

July 26, 2021 v1.4
  • You no longer get an Unknown Technology item from the Unknown Dimension. Instead you get a Void Crystal.
  • Changed the default chance a tree generates in the Unknown Dimension from 1/500 to 1/2000.
