Toroidal World

Circumnavigate the world — walk, sail or fly past the border and come out on the far side. No walls, no teleports, one seamless world

Toroidal World

Walk around the world. The world has a finite size and no edge: cross the border on one side and you walk in from the opposite side — no barrier, no teleport, no visible seam. Go around the world on foot, or run an SMP where nobody can outrun anybody forever.

What it does

  • Adds a World Shape option to the world-creation screen: pick Toroidal and set the world size per axis, in chunks.
  • Terrain is genuinely periodic — the noise itself wraps, so mountains, biomes and structures continue across the seam instead of hitting a mirrored wall or a cut-off cliff.
  • The game keeps working across the seam, not just the blocks: mob AI and pathfinding, projectiles and explosions, sounds and particles, compasses and lodestones, villages and raids, distance-based advancements — they all treat the world as round.
  • The Nether and the End are toroidal too — the Nether scaled relative to the overworld, the End with its own size.

Dedicated servers

One line in server.properties creates a toroidal world: level-type=toroidal_world:medium, with five sizes — tiny, small, medium, large, huge. Custom sizes and the full walkthrough are in the dedicated server guide.

Compatibility

Runs on NeoForge and Fabric.

Supported

Partially supported

  • LOD mods (Distant Horizons, Voxy) — distant terrain is not wrapped across the seam yet.

Before you download

  • The world shape is chosen at world creation — an existing vanilla world cannot be converted into a toroidal one (or back).
  • The mod is pre-1.0: world compatibility between mod versions is not guaranteed until 1.0.
