How To Make A Sky World In Minecraft

This page describes content that exists just in outdated versions of Java Edition.

The Sky Dimension was revised to create The End.

The Sky Dimension, or but the "Heaven", was a planned dimension in Minecraft, intended to be the reverse of the Nether. Using datapacks, a role player tin can generate a partial recreation of the original concept.

History [ ]

In Indev, there was a map type chosen "Floating". It generated floating islands full of terrain based on the World Theme.

The Sky Dimension was first appear when Notch tweeted a picture of the dimension. It was probably made to exist like a "heaven," because the Under was considered to be like a hell. The Sky Dimension was non completely confirmed until Notch released an update via Twitter stating: "And because PC Gamer fabricated such a big bargain of the Sky Dimension, I gauge I'll have to cease information technology. Consider it confirmed."^[1]

In a live webcast on the Swedish gaming site feber.se Notch revealed that the Sky Dimension would "probably be a dream world" and that when "you get to bed in that location is a sure chance that you lot become dragged into the dream globe instead. Then y'all will be able to practise it on purpose subsequently on."

The Sky Dimension was originally planned for the Adventure Update, simply Notch put it on hold until the Under was more fun.^[2]

"It didn't work so well considering of how light is calculated," Jeb explained. "The Sky Dimension originally had this superlative down light that the Overworld has, so you lot get like shadows in caves and such. But performance wise, it didn't work - information technology was extremely wearisome. So we removed the sunday – now everything is evenly lit unless yous've got a torch."^[3]

And so the original concept of the Heaven Dimension was afterwards rebranded as "The Stop,"^[4] a night place fittingly referred to as the "terminate of the game," home to the endermen and the ender dragon, and a total conversion of the original thought.

Notch tweeted much later that a different "Skylands" dimension probably was still in the making. This version, completely split up from the End, was set to supervene upon the original idea.^[five] Still, Jeb later stated that returning the Sky Dimension was not planned and therefore is unlikely to exist done.^[vi] ^[vii]

From Java Edition i.13, to Java Edition ane.17.1, it was possible to partially recreate the Sky Dimension through the Buffet world type. This was done by choosing the "Floating Islands" world generation pick (globe type after 1.16) and picking whatsoever Overworld biome (any type of Woods, Plains, Swamp, or Jungle) as the World Terrain choice. This created a partial recreation of what the Sky dimension might have looked like. However, the "Floating Islands" world type was removed in one.18.

Modern-enabled version [ ]

Code for a epitome of the Sky Dimension exists in Beta i.6, 1.7 and 1.8. Essentially, the just thing preventing it from being fully functional is the absence of a means of generating it and getting there. Using various mods, it is possible to access this currently unfinished version of the Sky Dimension.

The Sky Dimension can be accessed by modifying wr.course in beta ane.half-dozen.vi, xa.class in beta ane.7.iii, and acz.class in beta ane.eight.ane.

In this version of the Sky Dimension, the buildup of the world blocks-wise is very much like the Overworld, merely information technology is e'er midday and it does not rain or snow (though cloud embrace does appear every bit if it were raining). Like in the Overworld, there are oak trees, flowers, springs, lakes, and caves, and you can also notice pumpkins, mushrooms, dungeons, iron, coal, and gold. Although uncommon, it is too possible to find sugar cane, redstone, lapis lazuli, and more rarely diamond. The only mobs that spawn in the heaven dimension are chickens; no other mobs (including hostile ones and squid) spawn, except for monsters spawned past spawners in dungeons. Snowfall generates on surfaces higher up a certain altitude, similarly to mountain biomes, however, in that location is no weather condition in the Heaven Dimension, so this snow is not renewable. Below the islands of the Sky Dimension is nothing but the Void and a layer of clouds.

Bugs [ ]

Originally, the Heaven Dimension was hidden inside the region 0 (Overworld) code. However, starting in Beta one.9 Pre-release 3, it was given its own region: Region 2, with Region 1 beingness the Under. However, Sky Dimension chunks stopped spawning within its region, they would generate in the Overworld on Multiplayer servers. This is most probable due to an issue with map generation and saving causing Heaven Dimension chunks to save over Overworld chunks rather than beingness made in their own, split up map files similar the Nether does. If a world with Sky Dimension chunks is brought from multiplayer to singleplayer, the area of the chunks will always be Plains biome, even if snowfall generated naturally on the basis.

Trivia [ ]

The Sky Dimension is an inversion of The Under, where every bit the latter is basically a big cavern with monsters and a massive open space within, the former are peaceful floating islands spawn surrounded by open space. The Nether may also be idea of as being a hell with The Sky Dimension beingness a heaven; although the hazards present in each dimension are similar, falling from the sky dimension is just as lethal equally falling from a cliff into the lava ocean in the Nether.
The Sky Dimension, similar to the Under, has weather disabled. This is probable explained by the fact that it is above the clouds.
Far Lands do generate in the Sky Dimension, just the way they generate looks completely dissimilar to the Overworld Far Lands.^[8] ^[9]
