Adding an additional dimension to Mindcrack server

[Blazstyn]

I am wondering how (if at all) I could get my server to generate an additional dimension (with the same generation as the Overworld) on a FTB Mindcrack server.

Is it possible? Better yet, is it possible without client-side mods? I would like to avoid using Mystcraft, for example.

The reason I want to have this happen is to avoid the so-called 'Scorched Earth' effect, where players pick clean large sections of the explored map within the first 48 hours. It is processor intensive to render further map distances, and the server lags, so I have implemented a world border.

The server is running under MCMA, it is a Forge service (not Bukkitforge) with FTB and Mytown, aPerf, PEX for dependencies, and MW. Average load is 15 players.

Any suggestions? If you need extra info, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I would like to know how to do this too. I would like to have multiple worlds to separate certain things but they all seem to be the 'overworld' instead of 'spawn', 'resource', etc.

Have you actually managed to get the game to generate these additional worlds? Can you warp to them?

You could try bukkitForge and try multiverse plugin. But...

I didn't have much luck with bukkitForge, many things didn't do what they we're suppose to be doing. For example. World would set a border, but teleport people into solid rock when they hit the border. I could not adjust the border, to change one I had to delete all and re do.

Also when i had a bukkit server(Tekkit) multiverse didn't play nicely. Broke deployers, bunch of railcraft stuff and ee2 transmutation tablets.

Mystcraft is the way to go if you want to add dimension. - However, worth noting that you can't add mystcraft to a minecraft server. I had issues when I tried. Better to go direwolf20 and add gregtech.

Thanks for the tips - I did not enjoy my time experimenting with bukkitforge, but as the server is up now and working I can try to get it sorted again.

I will look at Multiverse. Players are enjoying MindCrack.

To update: Multiverse does not work. It allows new worlds to generate, using MCPC+.

But after some time, the chunks around the Multiverse worlds are unloaded or purged, and players become stuck.
This is a pretty big bug - I don't know how to fix. See this thread.
