# Basics
\nAdds a new Sky Islands Dimension that has overworld biomes, structures and features. <\/p>\n
_Not a 1 to 1 match with the overworld as ocean and river biomes have been replaced with other biomes since they don’t work so well in a sky islands setting_.<\/p>\n
Terrablender biomes place and function in this dimension too!<\/p>\n
## Important Info
\nThere is no built-in way to get to the dimension in survival mode! I recommend using the Datapack Portals mod to make a custom datapack portal that takes you to this dimension.<\/p>\n
The Dimension’s namespace is “skydim:overworld”.<\/p>\n
You can use the execute command to get there without Datapack Portals.<\/p>\n
**I highly recommend a datapack that extends the world height** since the top of the skylands is about at default build limit! If the datapack extends the overworld height, it will also work on this dimension.<\/p>\n
Weather works normally but the weather command can only be executed in the default overworld! Time and Weather sync with the Default overworld.<\/p>\n
**It can get very dark in the lower parts of this dimension** and due to how the dimension works, lower layers won’t usually have features placed on them. Bring torches and prepare to fight lots of monsters.<\/p>\n
## Usage in Modpacks
\nYou are more than welcome to use this datapack\/mod in your modpacks, **just credit me if the modpack is public!**
\nA Note for Modpack Authors: You might have to configure some of your mods to have them accept this as an overworld-like dimension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
