Stargate

Travel between dimensions through ancient stargates. Find an address, place it on a gate's control panel, and step into a whole new world.

New in 1.9: Wellspring, a Sift-like dimension

Dial a gate and step into Wellspring, a world inspired by the Sift, the fourth dimension Mojang announced at Minecraft LIVE.

• A world unlike the Overworld. Coral-pink meadows under a turquoise sky, rose and teal meadows, forests of white willows, a pale-teal desert with steel-blue cliffs, and tall rose-coloured mesas.
• Tides instead of plain day and night. The sky drifts from turquoise to peach to deep navy over the course of a day.
• Ichor. Wellspring's lilac rivers, lakes and seas burn you and drain your experience. Bring Fire Resistance, or eat Chorus Fruit for a quick dose of it.
• The blub. A glowing, rabbit-like critter that lives in the meadows and willow forests.
• Five new blocks to collect: Wellspring Soil, Wellspring Stone, Wellspring Shell, Wellspring Willow Leaves and Wellspring Willow Moss.
• Familiar landmarks. Villages, desert pyramids, jungle temples, ancient cities, pillager outposts, woodland mansions and shipwrecks still turn up.
• Easy to spot. Gates that lead to Wellspring glow coral pink.

Wellspring is an unofficial, fan-made take on the Sift. It isn't the dimension Mojang plans to add to Minecraft in 2027.

## Features

Dimensional travel

• Address system: every destination has its own stargate address.
• Stargate network: open linked gates between worlds and walk back and forth.
• Route books: keep several addresses in one book and turn the page to dial a different world.
• Destination colours: every gate glows in its destination's colour, with particles that hint at what waits on the other side.
• Chorus Fruit shortcut: eat Chorus Fruit while looking at an active gate up to 32 blocks away to jump straight through it.

Eight kinds of worlds

• Wellspring (new): a Sift-like dimension of coral meadows, white willows and burning ichor.
• Ocean: an endless water world.
• Tropics: a lush tropical paradise.
• Desert: vast dunes and badlands under a scorching sun.
• Floating Islands: islands drifting high in the sky.
• Frozen: a frozen wasteland in perpetual winter.
• Dark: a shadow realm where darkness never lifts.
• Melted: a molten world of lava and volcanic heat.

Gates can also lead to ordinary Overworld- and Nether-style worlds.

Dimensional hazards

Each hostile world has its own danger, and vanilla gear lets you prepare for it:

• Melted: you catch fire. Bring Fire Resistance.
• Dark: darkness closes in. Night Vision keeps it away.
• Frozen: snow slows you down. Leather boots or Frost Walker help.
• Ocean: water pressure slows your mining. Water Breathing protects you; Aqua Affinity and Depth Strider soften it.
• Desert: the daytime heat makes you hungry. Gold armour keeps you cool.
• Wellspring: ichor water burns. Bring Fire Resistance.

Control panel and redstone

• Clear sounds and particles tell you whether dialing worked, and why it didn't.
• Redstone pulses when a gate opens, when a traveller arrives, and when you turn a page.
• A comparator reads the current book page.
• Power a panel with redstone to lock its gate.
• Use a filled map on a panel to mark the gate, or a compass to point back to it.

And more

• Every gate has a supply chest stocked for the world it stands in.
• A full set of advancements, including Galaxy Brain for visiting all eight kinds of world.

How to play

Finding a stargate

Each world has only a couple of naturally generated stargates. Craft a Stargate Eye from an Ender Pearl and a Shulker Shell, throw it like an Eye of Ender, and follow it.

You can also use /locate structure #stargate:stargate.

Dialing

1. Find a Stargate Address Book in the loot of ancient cities, desert pyramids, jungle temples or pillager outposts.
2. Place the book on the gate's Stargate Control Panel.
3. Wait for the gate to open. The first trip to a new world can take a moment while it generates.

Some books hold the address of the world you are in, so you can share it or dial home; others point to a different world.

Game rules

• stargate:stargate-debug-address-generation (default false): control panels dial random valid test addresses instead of reading books. Useful for testing.

/gamerule stargate:stargate-debug-address-generation true
