    Minecraft is great with all the different biomes. But sometimes I wanted to build in a single biome world without starting a new save, and not always the same single biome. Sometimes I wanted to hang around in the rainforest biome, or the desert biome, etc. Flying all over the map to find large enough biomes and travel to/from them is a time consuming pain. But luckily with the addition of custom biomes, it is now much easier.

    This datapack adds a dimension for each vanilla biome.
    79 vanilla biomes, 79 different dimensions. Now you can start a save on a normally generated map and still experience playing on any number of single biome worlds without starting a new save. No mods needed and no custom content in this datapack, so it is a very small download.

    Download the datapack and put it in %appdata%/Roaming/.minecraft/saves/(save)/datapacks
    Seems to work fine being added to existing saves, toss it in, load the save, and the command to teleport works fine.

    To travel to one of the dimensions, use the command Execute in (dimension, see below) run tp ~ ~ ~
    For example: Execute in vbd:giant_spruce_taiga_hills run tp ~ ~ ~ to go to the dimension containing nothing but the Giant Spruce Taiga Hills biome.
    ~ ~ ~ will put you at the same cords in the new dimension as your current position, so best to use creative mode so you wont die if you get teleported into a mountain or a tree. Or could get really high up first, but then fall damage is a risk. Using 0 250 0 will put you in the center of the map at an elevation of 250 blocks above bedrock.

    To get back home use minecraft:overworld

    Some notes:
    The only difference between 'End Barrens', 'End Highlands', 'End Midlands' is the fauna so I gave them each a unique seed, the rest of the dimensions use the same seed as your overworld.
    The 'Small End Islands' dimension wont spawn as small floating islands like the biome creates in the actual End.
    'The Void' dimension wont be an an empty void. The biome generates a stone landscape.
    ALL these dimensions contain their biome specific mobs, including an Ender Dragon in the 'The End' dimension

    Future stuff:
    Eventually I might make the datapack clear out the area you teleport into to eliminate getting teleported into a block, or add custom portals to build to go to each dimension, but don't hold your breathe. My knowledge with this kind of programming is virtually 0 so it took me over 6 hours and looking at numerous other datapacks just to figure out how to make these custom dimensions which are nothing but setting them to a single biome.
    I would also like to make a dimension for each vanilla block where the entire landscape is nothing but that block, but that's further off then the custom portals.
    Might make biome specific dimensions for various biome packs as well, like biomes o plenty, etc, if their creators are ok with me doing so.


    Compatibilities:

    This datapack just creates dimensions set to use single vanilla biomes, so any mods changing the appearance of vanilla biomes will probably effect the appearance of the biomes in these dimensions as well.


    Feel free to use this on any servers.

    I wish you'd have solved the transportation differently... this whole cheats-enabled use a command to travel so vanilla counter-like to me. Quite alien. I'd have gone for an in-game mechanics or having a unique looking portal pre-generate at spawn for each biome. Would've looked so much more cooler and faithful to vanilla. But nevertheless it works. Thanks for sharing!

    Looks really good! I'm only seeing dimensions "badlands" through "crimson_forest", though.

    That is odd, alphabetically those two wouldn't even be next to each other in the listing. Are you using other mods that change things? I'm not using anything else on my game, and I'm only on 1.16.2, so no clue how it acts on snapshots. (Range in the details is just because planet minecraft made me have a range)

    Yep, if you have cheats enabled, hit / and type in the command, it will teleport you to a separate dimension like the nether, but with a single biome. To get back, use the command again but with minecraft:overworld.
