is there dimension scaling between the Aether and Overworld? (like how the Nether is 8 times smaller than the Overworld)
Jack PapelTeam00:02
Yup, the scaling is 10
FwuffyPetsOwO~00:07
which way?
Jack PapelTeam00:07
I believe the same way as the nether's
So 10 blocks in the aether is 100 in the overworld
FwuffyPetsOwO~00:08
I see
where is the scaling defined? (I was making my own dimension and I want it to scale but I don't know how)

It's really simple using CustomPortalAPI

It's not technically defined in terms of the dimension, but in terms of the portals

The nether portal has the scale factor, not the nether

Here's what our code looks like:

CustomPortalBuilder.beginPortal()
        .frameBlock(Blocks.GLOWSTONE)
        .customPortalBlock(AetherBlocks.BLUE_PORTAL)
        .destDimID(Aether.locate(Aether.MOD_ID))
        .tintColor(55, 89, 195)
        .lightWithWater()
        .onlyLightInOverworld()
        .registerInPortalAmbienceSound(player -> new CPASoundEventData(AetherSoundEvents.BLOCK_AETHER_PORTAL_TRIGGER, player.getRandom().nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F, 0.25F))
        .registerPostTPPortalAmbience(player -> new CPASoundEventData(AetherSoundEvents.BLOCK_AETHER_PORTAL_TRAVEL, player.getRandom().nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F, 0.25F))
        .registerPortal();

Er, actually wait a second

FwuffyPetsOwO~00:13
yea I was about to say, there's nothing there that defines the portal scaling ...
Jack PapelTeam00:16
Oh, it actually is defined in terms of the dimension
in data/[mod_id]/dimension_type/[dimension].json(edited)
FwuffyPetsOwO~00:18
oh I see
I'll go look at that then
is it this line: "coordinate_scale": 10.0
Jack PapelTeam00:22
Yup
