A sky dimension is a good idea. But is should be made as an anti-Nether realm. Incentive would be similar to why we go to the Nether. New resources and a new challenge.
Though a few ideas are interesting, there are a few objections I have to this:
-Adding a "story" to Minecraft is a bit of a turnoff. Minecraft isn't supposed to have any sort of lore behind it; the Player's supposed to create their own story as they progress through the game. Adding a few ruins to the End wouldn't hurt, though.
-With the new movements, I'm a bit skeptical. Though climbing up ledges would be useful, what if you were falling hundreds of blocks, but instead of landing on a narrow platform and dying, you could instead grab its ledge, preventing fall damage? I think that limitations should be made for when you can and can't climb ledges.
-Adding dash/dodge mechanics seems very unnecessary. As AThingWithAThing said, we can sort of already do this.
-We can pick up chickens now. So... is it exclusive to chickens, or are we able to lift any sort of other small mob? Also, being able to float down by holding a Chicken seems like it's better off remaining in Legend of Zelda, and not in Minecraft.
However, a few other parts of the idea are interesting, such as new swimming mechanics (but how do these new mechanics work?), and adding a less "dark" variant of the End. About the only thing you have to do now is cut the "lore" part out, and give us more details. Are there any exclusive mobs to this new Sky dimension? Is there any purpose to visiting this dimension, due to the lack of an Ender Dragon? It's interesting, but I can't give support until you fill us in on the details.

Why do I have to wait so long to repost a better version of someone's suggestion. We've had an influx of suggestions about this dimension lately. Everyone seems to be presenting it in a bad fashion- ways that don't get support. I'm sorry for the boasting and intentions but I aspire to knock out everyone's negative rebuttals. This only has a few good points in it. Unfortunately grabbing ledges is too specific for minecraft- this is a world where everything is compacted into 1x1 meter sized voxels. It seems inappropriate to interact with small fractions of blocks based on the games history. Tiny support (pretty much no support).
Minecraft will never and should never have a story to it. That would be 9 kinds of lame. And we wouldn't need a new dimension just to do that, and the dimension you presented is a bit... mod-ish.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

It was posted on March 31 Swedish time. Think that's an April Fools?
Maybe they took in account that it would be April Fools in other parts of the world? Regardless, that's a retarded idea for a big update.

I find possible for that to be true but remember that is was posted on March 31 so it might be a big update and maybe not. Most April Fools updates are smaller.

Mojang decided that april fools would be better the day before april 1st because it is less expected.
This is a new dimension, right? Then if I fall down, WHY DO I GET BACK TO THE OVERWORLD? Is there some dimensional gateway? or is this simply a bunch of floating islands? WE ALREADY HAVE THOSE BRUH.

Time zones exist, what may be March 31st could be April 1st elsewhere.
I was aware of that but I was confused because some people indicated that it didn't happen to them- assuming they are telling the truth- basically making me draw the idea it all wasn't cut and clean. So I was contemplating whether or not there were other factors involved. I mean for whatever reason I had thought that they wouldn't celebrate until Sweden was April 1st. But they put out the trendy 'update' and I was just very confused on what was happening and for what reason.
Though a few ideas are interesting, there are a few objections I have to this:
-Adding a "story" to Minecraft is a bit of a turnoff. Minecraft isn't supposed to have any sort of lore behind it; the Player's supposed to create their own story as they progress through the game. Adding a few ruins to the End wouldn't hurt, though.
Well, there is no need to add a 'story' per-se. The player can still create their own imagined narrative much in the same way I created it in the OP.
The Sky dimension would basically be a reward for beating the game, hence why the necessary item to reach the Sky dimension would only exist in the end.
As the Sky dimension would have its own biomes, the player could choose to live there.
-With the new movements, I'm a bit skeptical. Though climbing up ledges would be useful, what if you were falling hundreds of blocks, but
instead of landing on a narrow platform and dying, you could instead grab its ledge, preventing fall damage? I think that limitations should
be made for when you can and can't climb ledges.
That would certainly be possible
-Adding dash/dodge mechanics seems very unnecessary. As AThingWithAThing said, we can sort of already do this.
Sort of the thing is not really the thing though, is it? If you try to strafe normally to evade an attack, the enemy can still track you and hit you so strafing is basically useless in close quarters. Whereas if you could pop a dodge to avoid a sword slash, or do a quick dash towards an enemy in order to crit them or knock em back when you have your shield out then it makes combat a little more interesting.
-We can pick up chickens now. So... is it exclusive to chickens, or are we able to lift any
sort of other small mob? Also, being able to float down by holding a Chicken seems like it's better off remaining in Legend of Zelda, and not
in Minecraft.
Chickens would be the only mob that would make sense to carry. Though I imagine being able to carry and throw other small animals (ie: cats, bunnies) would be a little useful although certainly a bit too slapstick.
How would one dodge? Please give us some more detail!
Dodging would be done by double tapping the strafe keys. It would cause a player to rapidly jump to the side by a couple of blocks. It would have a cooldown of a few seconds to prevent players from spamming it.
Dashing would cause a player to jump forward by a few blocks (about 3 or 4), a lot like a full speed sprinting jump, except with a bit more velocity. It could impart the ability of the player to score a critical hit or it could be used to knock a player back if the shield is held out while dashing. Like the dodge, the dash/lunge would have a few seconds of cooldown, preventing players from using it for getting around too quickly. I'm not sure how this would be implemented in the keys, since double tapping the forward key is used for sprinting already and dashing/lunging when you meant to simply sprint could be a problem.
Swimming would be implemented by holding 'shift' while in the water. The player's body would become aligned in the direction they're looking at and they could swim underwater more fluidly (for example, diving and rising much faster) by looking at something they want to swim towards and simply holding W.
Minecraft has an empty storyline. This is the whole factor that lets everybody be at FULL LIBERTY TO CREATE THEIR OWN.
Don't take that away.
That's not the plan. I simply made up that scenario to express on player's idea of why that thing might be there. Ie: there's a logical reason why something in the game exists. Without exposition (ie: books) a player is free to make up their own story and that's how it should be.
-whatever-
A sky dimension is a good idea. But is should be made as an anti-Nether realm. Incentive would be similar to why we go to the Nether. New resources and a new challenge.

From the post that was made just today I don't think that will happen to be 1.10. It's possibly going to be the Trendy Update.
I'm pretty sure that's an April Fools joke.

No its not.
And your idea is garbage.
Absolutely no support to any sky dimension or aether ideas ever for all of eternity.
Oh no, not you again.
Praise be to Spode.
I guess you are right. I also looked through the code for that update. Says the id for the update is 1.9-aprilfools.
I was aware of that but I was confused because some people indicated that it didn't happen to them- assuming they are telling the truth- basically making me draw the idea it all wasn't cut and clean.
