Stargate: Wellspring, a The Sift Dimension

Stargate brings dimensional travel through ancient gates to Fabric. Find an address, place it on a gate's control panel and step into one of eight kinds of worlds, among them Wellspring, a fan-made take on the Sift, the fourth dimension Mojang announced at Minecraft LIVE for 2027. Each hostile world has one danger, and vanilla potions and armour are all you need to face it. Stargate is built on Worlds, so every gate world is a real vanilla level with its own time, weather and game rules.

Wellspring Coral meadows, white willow forests, a pale-teal desert and rose mesas under a sky that drifts from turquoise to peach to navy. Lilac ichor burns and drains experience: bring Fire Resistance or a Chorus Fruit. Blubs, villages, ancient cities and five new blocks. A fan-made take on the Sift, not Mojang's dimension.

Floating Islands Islands above a sea of clouds, with waterfalls off their edges and roots beneath. Colossal heart trees glow at night around an amethyst heart, tended by gentle Mossy Guardians in a grove where no monsters spawn. Now and then a Golden Skyfall turns the sky gold. Falls between islands are slowed.

Melted A molten world with no sky, dark-red fog, drifting ash and embers, and more blazes and magma cubes than the Nether. You catch fire without Fire Resistance.

Dark A shadow realm where darkness never lifts and endermen roam. Night Vision keeps the dark away.

• Frozen. Endless snow that slows you, and blizzards that freeze anyone caught outside. Leather boots or Frost Walker handle the snow; shelter or a piece of leather armour keeps the cold out.
• Ocean. An endless sea where the pressure slows your mining. Water Breathing stops it; Aqua Affinity and Depth Strider soften it.
• Desert. Vast dunes and badlands under a sun that makes you hungry. Each piece of gold armour helps, and a full set keeps you cool.
• Tropics. A lush tropical paradise, the one world without a hazard.

Gates can also lead to ordinary Overworld- and Nether-style worlds. Visit all eight kinds for the Galaxy Brain advancement.

1. Find a gate. Each world has only a couple. Craft a Stargate Eye from an Ender Pearl and a Shulker Shell and throw it like an Eye of Ender, or run /locate structure #stargate:stargate.
2. Get an address. Stargate Address Books wait in the loot of ancient cities, desert pyramids, jungle temples and pillager outposts. Some hold the address of the world you are in, to share or to dial home; others lead somewhere new. A route book keeps several addresses, and the page you leave open is the one you dial.
3. Dial. Place the book on the gate's control panel. Sounds and particles tell you whether it worked and, if not, why. The first trip to a new world takes a moment while it generates.
4. Step through. Every gate glows in its destination's colour, with particles that hint at what waits on the other side, and the chest beside it is stocked for that world. Eat a Chorus Fruit while looking at an open gate up to 32 blocks away to jump straight through it.

Redstone, maps and compasses Redstone pulses when a gate opens, a traveller arrives or a page turns; a comparator reads the page. Power the panel to lock the gate both ways. A filled map marks the gate; a compass points back to it. Advancements for every world, Chorus Fruit travel and more.

Game rule and admin commands

• /gamerule stargate:stargate-debug-address-generation true makes panels dial random valid addresses instead of reading books, for testing.
• /stargate debug givebook origin|remote|addresses [count] gives address books, and /stargate debug createworld <name> <kind> creates a gate world of a chosen kind.
