About this Mod
VerseWorks: Write into the Universe
VerseWorks is a new dimension-builder that lets you craft custom worlds through writing. Instead of just hopping through a portal, you’ll be gathering raw "verses" and using them to define the parameters of a new reality.
The Core Loop
Everything starts underground. Keep an eye out for Mystical Crystals. Breaking these yields Hyper Dust and Verses. You’ll need the dust for the fuel and the verses to tell the world-gen what you’re looking for.
Cauldron Rituals
You don't need a fancy table for this, just a lit cauldron full of water.
Preparing your way back: Dropping 32 Hyper Dust and a piece of paper into the cauldron creates an Unlinked Hyperbook. Right-click it anywhere to set your "return point." It becomes a Linked Hyperbook, which is basically your only way home once you've crossed over.
Creating a New Dimension: Drop in 32 Hyper Dust, any verses, and a Signed Book.
- The title of the signed book becomes the name of the world.
- The actual text inside the book influences the seed.
- Pro-tip: Toss in some dye during the ritual if you want to change the Hyperbook's title color.
Stability & Corruption
Building a world isn't always safe. If you use too few verses, the "logic" of the dimension starts to break down.
- Corruption: Low-verse rituals result in high randomness and physical world corruption.
- Anti-Verses: Look for these specifically to block certain corruptions from spawning.
- Stable World Verses: These are rare but will essentially "lock" the dimension's physics to prevent rot.
- The Dimensional Analyzer: Craft this (Compass in the center, Diamond on top, Hyper Dust on the sides) to scan for hidden dangers. If you place a Hyperbook on a lectern and lightning strikes, consider that a warning: the world is "dangerous."
Navigation
Once your Hyperbook is ready, place it on a Lectern. Right-clicking the book will start the teleportation sequence. Don't forget to pack a spare Lectern and your Linked Hyperbook (set to the Overworld) or you might get stranded in your own creation.
FAQ & Technical Notes
- Fabric Support? No.
- Backports? No plans for older versions.
- Bugs? This is a side project I'm picking up after a long break from the Minecraft scene. It’s experimental and probably a bit buggy. I’m aiming for updates every week or two as my schedule allows. Use it at your own risk—back up your saves.
