Beyond Dimensions Mod
Beyond Dimensions is a mod focused on storage systems and utilities. It introduces a "Dimensional Network" - a universal system for storing items, fluids, FE energy, experience, Mekanism chemicals, Ars Nouveau sources, Botania mana, and Industrial Foregoing souls. The system combines enormous capacity with high performance and a user-friendly interface capable of meeting storage needs of virtually any scale.
Getting Started
To begin, you'll need to defeat the Wither or obtain a Nether Star by any other means. Craft it into an Unstable Space-Time Fragment and carry it in your inventory for one hour to transform it into a Stable Space-Time Fragment. Use this fragment to craft a Dimensional Network Generator and activate it to create your own network. Then simply press the hotkey (default 'O') to open the storage interface.
Storage System Features
Capacity: The storage operates at maximum capacity by default. It can hold up to 2.1 billion different resource types, with each type capable of storing up to 2^63^-1 units (maximum value for Java long type). The number of slots, maximum capacity per resource type, and expansion methods can be configured using KubeJS.
Performance: The system has undergone thorough optimization. Testing shows excellent results both when connected to AE2 and when using this mod alone.
Multiplayer: The system creates separate networks for each player based on permission settings. One network can be shared by multiple players. Shared access is also possible through item-form terminals.
User Interface
Intuitive Interface: Follows the interaction logic of popular storage mods like AE2 and RS, ensuring comfortable user experience.
- Built-in crafting grid
- Multiple search modes: simple text search by names, descriptions OR mod IDs; # prefix for strict description search; @ prefix for strict mod ID search
- Customizable number of displayed item rows
- Various sorting options: by storage time, quantity, name, mod ID
Universal Slot System: Every slot in all the mod's interfaces supports quick operations with all resource types. Right-clicking a slot while holding a container allows quick resource transfer between storage and container (chests, shulker boxes, backpacks, etc.), including fluids, chemicals, and even energy.
Automation and Utilities
The mod adds various blocks and items for automation, most of which support redstone control and can interact with other modifications:
- Dimensional Network Pathway: Provides full access to storage contents for connection through pipes, hoppers, AE2/RS Storage Buses, Sophisticated Backpack unload upgrades
- Network Energy Pathway: Similar to the regular pathway but specializes in FE energy transfer. Has an interface displaying current power flow. Supports "Eject Mode" with transmission up to 2.1 billion FE per tick
- Network Interface: Similar to AE2 ME Interface. Has "Pattern Slots" and "Storage Slots." Automatically transfers resources between network and patterns. Supports eject mode
- Net Pump: Actively pulls resources from adjacent containers and places them into the network. Filter slots support blacklist and whitelist modes
- Net Hopper: Collects dropped items and even flowing fluids within a certain area, sending them directly to the network. Operating range adjustable from 2 blocks to a whole chunk
- Net Furnace: Allows setting recipes for automatic smelting with resource extraction from network. Supports FE energy and lava as fuel
- Net Feeder: Automatically feeds the player when hunger drops below the set threshold, using marked food from the network
- Net Magnet: Portable version of the Net Hopper with increased operation frequency. Can be equipped in Curios slot
- Main-hand Item Quick Transfer: Middle-click any block to instantly extract a stack of the same item type from the network. Shift+middle-click puts the item back
