Basically, you can use a python script to change the save file for a server. Change a player's dimension from 0 to -1, and you end up in the nether. Change it to +1, and you end up in the new sky dimension.
As far as I know, no one has found how to build a portal legitimately yet.
Um this has always been in the game since he had the feature for how to generate your world. Way way back in indev.
Halloween update last year added the second dimension (the Nether). The third dimension (whatever this is called) has just been added in 1.9 PR3.
Here's a picture of a server startup screen in 1.9 PR3:
As you can clearly see, it is generating terrain for 3 worlds, which is definitely something new. No one has found out how to get to that 3rd world legitimately yet, but when you do, you'll find terrain like I show in the first post.
This is actually (mostly) not new. Notch had been working on it a while back but decided it was too boring and abandoned it. I think it is new, though, that you can actually access it in a normal game client.
I'm betting this is an incomplete version of what's to come. It doesn't look different from the normal world like the Nether does; it's just floating land so far.
The floatiness of it all is kind of cool. But it looks very bland. You have to take a portal to find this junk?
I agree. I think the Aether mod is considerably more interesting, partially just because it has new dirt, new grass, and new stone.
I really hope this isn't the final product.
I don't know if a portal exists to take you to this realm. No one has figured that part out yet. It's probably related to the crystal-like blocks people have found in dungeons, but nothing is confirmed yet.

You're right that it looks very similar to what he showed before. Since it now exists in the actual jars, I think we have to assume that either it is planned to be released in 1.9, or that Jeb merely forgot to remove it before putting out the .jar (ie. similar to the glass pillars for debugging above strongholds)
That was a different terrain generator. And it doesnt' really have so much with this tbh :tongue.gif:
indeed, but THESE skylands HAVE been in the game for a while.
they weren't generated normally but could be, they're still not accessible so I don't see how this is any different.

There are effectively coded into the game now, not fully implemented, but no longer leftover scraps of code.
Kind of like how cauldrons were in 1.9pre2, yeah...

so finished products that were removed at the last instant? no, skylands aren't 'complete' but they are as complete as they were, all that has changed is that servers generate one at the beginning, from what I see the actual generation is identical.
What is it with some of you, and your feeling that your own level of attention to the forums should be the standard everything is measured by.
you're able to read if a feature is new, it's not hard, search doesn't work here but you could have tried the wiki, or google, this is old news, one doesn't come here to see old news.
Well, for one, the OP never said anything about the dimension being new, and second, he merely stated something that you could do with it now that you couldn't do before. I don't understand where all this argument is stemming from.
REGARDLESS of when this was added (because it's been kind of irrelevant as we couldn't get to them) I hope they're a bit more exciting than this when they're fully implemented.

In other words the sky dimension is very close to working, and will almost certainly be part of the 1.9 update.

So what. It was new to me.
