The Sift: Experience
Step through a portal hidden in an Ancient City and explore a strange dimension of pink hills, pale weeping forests, red canyons, and glowing fungal fields. It is home to creatures that live nowhere else, bosses guarding pieces of legendary armor, and a world that changes with the tides.
Getting In and Out
- Find an Ancient City and its big reinforced deepslate frame.
- Stand near the frame with a jukebox and play Music Disc 5. The frame fills with a portal.
- Step in and you land on solid ground near the centre of the Sift.
- You can also use
/sift:travel at any time.
- Use
/sift:find to locate the nearest biome, boss arena or landmark.
- The only way home is a Rift. A glowing orange, cross-shaped Rift tears open a few blocks ahead of you every couple of minutes and stays open for about 2 minutes. Walk into it to go home. If you miss it, wait for the next one.
