The Mining Dimension — The Ultimate AFK Mining Dimension
A flat, perfectly safe, mob-free mining dimension for 1.20.1 (Forge). Dig endlessly without caves, mobs, lava, or darkness. AFK-mining has never been this easy!**
✨ Features
- 🌞 **Eternal day, permanent clear sky** — no day/night cycle, no rain, no snow
+
- 💡 **Full brightness everywhere** — `ambient_light` maxed, even deep underground
+
- 🚫 **Zero mob spawns** — no monsters, no silverfish, no animals, guaranteed
+
- 🗻 **Perfectly flat terrain** — no caves, no ravines, no lava lakes, no water, no holes
+
- 🪨 **Strict ore layers** — overworld ores only in stone, nether ores only in netherrack, never mixed
+
- 💎 **Dense ore clusters** — high-density veins in big clumps, way more than vanilla
+
- ⛏️ **Diamonds concentrated deep**, **ancient debris in huge clusters**
+
- 🛡️ **3-second invulnerability** on teleport — no fall/suffocation damage
+
- 🔁 **Two-way portal system** — sneaking + right-click crying obsidian to travel both ways
+
- 🏡 **Return to your exact portal** — persistent pairing, the overworld never spawns extra obsidian
+
- 🌱 **Plains-style surface** — Y64 grass block, 3 flat layers, plant trees and place machines
+
- 🧱 **Bedrock floor** — never dig into the void
+
- ⚙️ **Fully compatible** — pickaxes, Efficiency enchant, quarry machines, TNT blasting all work

🎮 How to Use
+
+
1. Place a **Crying Obsidian** block in the overworld
+
2. **Sneak + Right-click** it with **empty hands**
+
3. You teleport to the mining dimension at the **same X/Z**, standing on the surface (Y64)
+
4. A **return portal** (crying obsidian) is automatically placed next to you — sneak + right-click it to go home
+
5. Return to the **exact same crying obsidian** you used to enter — no lost coordinates, no extra obsidian piling up
+
+
💀 **Died in the mining dimension?** You respawn back in the overworld at your portal.

+

❓ FAQ
+
+
**Q: Do I need to bring materials to come back?**
+
A: No! A crying obsidian return portal is automatically generated next to you.
+
+
**Q: Will the overworld get covered in obsidian?**
+
A: No. The overworld never generates obsidian — you always return to the one you placed.
+
+
**Q: Can I bring a quarry / auto-miner / use TNT?**
+
A: Yes! Everything works — vanilla pickaxes, Efficiency, quarry machines, TNT.
+
+
**Q: Is the world stable for AFK?**
+
A: Yes. Chunk generation is deterministic and never resets while you are away.
