The V0id Dimension

Mine a strange new ore in the End, build a portal, and step into The Void: a glitched, broken copy of your Overworld. The sky is dark purple and streaked with errors, the sun is a black hole, the water has turned blue and black, and everything you know about mobs is backwards. Cows hunt you. Zombies don't care you exist.

Requires: Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader and Fabric API.

How to get to The Void

1. Find Abyssite in the End

Abyssite Ore is found in end stone all over the End, about as rarely as diamonds. Mine it with a diamond pickaxe or better to get 1–3 Abyssite (Fortune gives more).

2. Make 4 Blocks of Abyssite

Craft 9 Abyssite into 1 Block of Abyssite. The portal needs 4 blocks (36 Abyssite).

3. Get protected before you go

The Void erases unprotected players in about 10 seconds. You need one of these:

• Potion of Void Protection: brew an Awkward Potion with Abyssite. It lasts 10 minutes. Add gunpowder for a splash potion, then dragon's breath for a lingering one.
• A full set of Abyssite armor: it protects you for as long as you're wearing all four pieces.

4. Build the portal

Lay the 4 Blocks of Abyssite flat on the ground in a plus shape around a 1×1 hole:

    A
  A . A
    A

Then place a Block of Amethyst into the hole. It turns into a Void Portal, and a purple beacon beam shoots up out of it for 3 seconds. Jump in!

The portal works in the Overworld, the Nether or the End, and takes you to the same coordinates in The Void.

5. Getting home

A return portal is built where you arrive. Step into it to go back to the Overworld.

The other way in

Jump off the End. Falling into the void below the End doesn't kill you any more: you drop out of The Void's sky instead, and float down with Slow Falling. There's no portal home waiting for you, so bring 4 Abyssite Blocks and a Block of Amethyst to build your own. Get protected first!

You can't set your spawn in The Void (beds and respawn anchors don't work there), so if you die, you wake up back home.

What's waiting in The Void

• Same land, wrong world. The terrain matches your Overworld at the same coordinates, but under a dark purple sky full of glitch streaks, with a black hole where the sun should be and a whole solar system of square, sun-style planets orbiting it, passing in front of it and disappearing behind it. There is no day and night there: the black hole gives off almost no light, so it is always dark. Bring torches.
• Low gravity. You jump about 2.5 blocks high, drift slowly back down, and can fall 8 blocks without getting hurt.
• Glitch Fluid instead of water. Broken blue-and-black water, with a shimmer of light across still pools, that works like the real thing (fish and squid live in it, it puts out fire), and gives you Fire Resistance that lasts 30 seconds after you get out. You can pick it up in a bucket.
• Corrupted blocks. Patches of corrupted grass, dirt, stone, sand, logs and leaves, on the surface and underground. Every kind of tree has its own glitched log and leaves. The corruption is ragged holes into the starry space of an End portal, spreading from block to block.
• Everything is backwards. Passive mobs (cows, pigs, sheep, villagers...) chase you and attack. Hostile mobs (zombies, skeletons, creepers...) completely ignore you. Neutral mobs (wolves, bees, endermen, iron golems, llamas, pandas, goats) and your tamed pets behave normally.
• Zombies, skeletons and other undead don't burn in daylight, and wardens never get angry at you.
• The Glitch. A broken, hovering mob that spawns all over The Void (and nowhere else), above ground and in caves, and the one monster there that still wants you dead. It stutter-teleports around, sometimes skips away when you hit it, and one hit in four rubber-bands you a few blocks away. Drops experience and sometimes Abyssite, and very rarely (1 in 700) its own Glitch Head.
• Boss arenas. Rare round arenas of blackstone and gilded blackstone, ringed with blackstone spikes, hidden across The Void's land. Summon the Glitch King in one (see below).

The Glitch King

The boss of The Void. A Glitch three times the size, with 400 health, a glitched boss bar and its own music.

Summoning it

1. Find a boss arena in The Void.
2. On the arena's gold middle, build a plus of blocks on the floor: a Block of Abyssite in the centre, and a block of diamond, netherite, emerald and iron around it (one of each, any order).
3. Place a Glitch Head on top of the Abyssite.

       Diamond
Netherite  Abyssite  Emerald
        Iron

The blocks are used up, and the king boots up for 3 seconds. It's too big for the arena's gates, so it stays inside with you.

Watch its head

Its head floats on the left, in the middle or on the right, and where it is tells you what's coming. Every 10 seconds (every 5 once it's below half health) the head jumps to a new spot, and a second later the king starts a new move:

• Head on the right: it throws glitch balls at you (3 hearts and the Void effect). Punch them back to hurt it!
• Head in the middle: it calls in Glitches to help.
• Head on the left: it leaps around, and every landing sends a shockwave ring along the ground. Jump over it, or take 4 hearts and get thrown.

Up close it punches for 6 hearts and gives the Void effect, whatever its head is doing.

The reward

One random Abyssite tool with enchantments past the normal limits: think Sharpness VII–XI, Efficiency VI–X, Fortune IV–VI, Unbreaking up to X, and sometimes something odd, like Wind Burst on a sword. Plus 50 experience.

Glitch Head

A rare drop (1 in 700) when you kill a Glitch. It works like a zombie head: put it on the ground or a wall (its eyes glow in the dark), wear it so Glitches only notice you from half as far away, or put it on a note block to play the Glitch's sound. And it's what summons the Glitch King.

Glitched mobs

Every passive mob that ends up in The Void gets corrupted: torn textures, magenta and cyan streaks, patches of missing texture, and a new name ("Glitched Cow", "Glitched Farmer"...).

• They stay glitched if you bring them home, and their babies are glitched too.
• Glitched mobs attack you anywhere, not just in The Void. Tamed pets and the mount you're riding stay on your side.
• Glitched happy ghasts keep their distance and shoot ice balls. They hit as hard as a ghast's fireball, freeze you and slow you down. Punch one to send it flying back!
• All 28 passive mobs have their own Glitched Spawn Egg in the Void Dimension creative tab.
• The glitched look is made from your own game's textures, so it works with your resource packs.

Abyssite gear

Crafted from Abyssite and sticks in the same shapes as diamond gear. It sits between diamond and netherite, except that every Abyssite tool hits 1 harder than its netherite version. It can be enchanted, repaired with Abyssite, and trimmed. Wearing all four armor pieces protects you from The Void.

The Abyssite Sword gives anything it hits the Void effect for 3 seconds (1 heart of damage a second). The Void's own mobs, the Glitch and glitched mobs, are immune, and so is anyone with Void protection.

Attack damage: Abyssite sword 9, pickaxe 7, axe 11, shovel 7.5, hoe 2 (netherite: 8, 6, 10, 6.5, 1).

Void Aspect enchantment

A new sword enchantment, like Fire Aspect but with the Void. Anything you hit gets the Void effect for 3 seconds at level I, 5 at level II and 7 at level III. The same mobs are immune as with the Abyssite Sword. Find it at the enchanting table, from librarians and in loot chests; it works on any sword, Abyssite included.

Tips

• Your first trip is the dangerous one: bring a few Potions of Void Protection, then use what you find to finish your Abyssite armor.
• Bring your wolves: tamed pets stay on your side in The Void, and you'll want the help.
• Grab a bucket of Glitch Fluid: a quick dip gives Fire Resistance, handy for your next Nether trip.
• Going for the Glitch King? Bring a bow or a shield for the glitch balls, and keep an eye on its head.
