About
Vertically Stacked Dimensions gives worlds a greater effective vertical range by arranging existing dimensions in a configurable stack, with portals at their top and bottom boundaries taking players and other entities into the next dimension. The default setup places the Nether beneath the Overworld, but other available dimensions can be included and ordered to create different vertical layouts. Its transition portals mimic whether the first two blocks beyond the portal are solid, allowing players to break or place blocks through the boundary and helping them move through without immediately falling back. The mod also offers configurable world-generation tools: custom block layers with fading or noise-shaped transitions, height-specific block replacement, Nether-like terrain at chosen heights, and dimension-specific ore generation with selectable distributions. In the default example, the usually empty upper half of the Nether becomes a large underground cave with a water lake, while vanilla ores are generated there and diamond generation in the Overworld is disabled. When supported ores are available from other mods, the upper Nether can also generate copper, tin, aluminium, nickel, silver, lead, platinum and uranium, with their concentrations varying by height. Craftable Interdimensional Pipes can be installed in transition portals to connect adjacent inventories, fluid stores and energy stores across dimensions for machinery, provided the far-side chunk is loaded.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for Minecraft 1.12.2. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
