Would you ever release this as a mod on forge? I love using it with mods but for some reason dimension mods dont work with this datapack on my world.

Thanks. If you like this concept you should check out the modpacks TERRAFIRMACRAFT and SEVTECH:AGES. While terrafirmacraft technically is a single mod, it changes the whole experience of the game to the same degree as the latter.
