Silken Dynasty Dimension

Quickstart

1. When you first join a world with this mod, you automatically receive a starter kit: 16 Red Silk Textile blocks, 16 Jade Silk Textile blocks, and 1 Enchanted Flint and Steel.
2. Build a 4-wide × 5-tall portal frame using your Red and Jade Silk Textile blocks (the interior will be 2×3).
3. Hold the Enchanted Flint and Steel in your main hand and use it on any block in the frame to ignite the portal.
4. Step inside the glowing portal interior — keep the Enchanted Flint and Steel in your main hand — and you'll be transported to the Silken Dynasty realm.
5. To return home, step into the return portal already waiting in the realm (again holding the Enchanted Flint and Steel).

Overview

Silken Dynasty Dimension adds a hand-crafted Chinese-inspired pocket realm reachable through a custom textile portal. Inside you'll find themed terrain, pre-built structures (a Silken Dynasty village and a towering Jade Pagoda Temple), peaceful wildlife, friendly traders, and hostile guardians — all with their own loot.

• Silken Dynasty Village — a populated settlement with Silk Merchant Villagers to trade with
• Jade Pagoda Temple — a large multi-tier pagoda landmark to explore and loot

How To Use

Building the Portal Frame

Arrange Red Silk Textile and/or Jade Silk Textile blocks into a 4-block-wide by 5-block-tall hollow rectangle (like a Nether portal, but larger). You may mix both textile types freely. Leave the 2×3 interior empty.

Igniting the Portal

Craft the Enchanted Flint and Steel, hold it in your main hand, and use it (right-click / tap) on any block in the frame. A message will confirm ignition and the interior fills with glowing portal blocks.

Traveling

Stand inside the active portal while holding the Enchanted Flint and Steel in your main hand. You will be teleported to the Silken Dynasty realm with a brief slow-falling effect. A return portal is already built near the realm's spawn point — step into it (while holding the Enchanted Flint and Steel) to go back to your original overworld location.

Note: There is a short cooldown between portal uses to prevent accidental rapid teleportation.

Crafting And Obtaining

Red Silk Textile

Yields 8 blocks per craft.

Jade Silk Textile

Enchanted Flint and Steel

All three recipes are crafted at a Crafting Table. Textile blocks and the Enchanted Flint and Steel are also included in the automatic starter kit given to each player on first join.

Abilities And Mechanics

Jade Panda

• Passive; panics when attacked.
• Tempted and bred with bamboo.
• Drops: bamboo (common) or Jade Silk Textile (rare).
• Spawn Egg: Jade Panda Spawn Egg

Silk Merchant Villager

• Friendly NPC found inside Silken Dynasty villages.
• Offers trades — interact with them to browse available goods.

Portal Rules

• The Enchanted Flint and Steel must be in your main hand both to ignite the frame and to travel through an active portal.
• Your overworld location is saved automatically; returning through the realm's portal brings you back to exactly where you left.
• Portal blocks cannot be destroyed by explosions and break almost instantly by hand if you need to reset the frame.

Progression And Strategy

1. Use the starter kit immediately — you get enough textile blocks to build your first portal right away along with a ready-made Enchanted Flint and Steel.
2. Craft more textile blocks before entering if you want extra building materials in the realm; both recipes are cheap and yield 8 at a time.
3. Avoid Terracotta Guards on arrival — come armed, or sprint past them toward the Silken Dynasty village to trade first.
4. Trade with Silk Merchants for unique goods; keep some emeralds on hand.
5. Breed Jade Pandas with bamboo (plenty found in the realm) for a chance at extra Jade Silk Textile drops.
6. Explore the Jade Pagoda Temple for unique loot — it's a large structure, so bring torches and supplies.
7. The Enchanted Flint and Steel has 128 durability — craft a spare before long dungeon runs so you're never stranded in the realm.
