Welcome!

Welcome to The Fields of Dimensions Expansion Pack Project:
The Fields of Dimensions Expansion Project (FoD for short) is one of the biggest mods known to have been in the works for Minecraft. This mod blends all of the swashbuckling adventures of an RPG game with the infinite creativity one can get from Minecraft.
The Ender dragon having been killed, you come to notice that the Ender has changed and that Endermen have gained sentience. Through the knowledge that this ancient race gives you you discover that you are not alone as you once thought, for indeed there are many mysterious worlds in the deepness of the Void.
This Expansion Pack adds new weapons, ores, utensils, portals, mobs, blocks and basically reshapes the way Minecraft works without changing the joy of being original. Everything can be approached with any tactic you want!
The FoD - The Next Step in Minecraft Evolution

As of this moment, the Pack is still a Project. Therefore we need artists and coders. Fan art and skins are more than welcome and suggestions are what we are fueled by!

"All Dem Dimensions" , a similar mod, has initiated contact with us, so if you wish to talk to them about anything, here is our shared chat: http://mcdimensions.blogspot.com/

GUI's !

Our brand new member Eridani has gone to work and brought home the Bacon:

The Quest Received GUI:

Inline images 1

At the top of the Gui, the name of the Quest will be shown, with a thumbnail, this would be shown as an "Achievement Get!", notifying a new quest.  A Description or dialogue will be shown on the bottom, which will be in turn shown when you right-click on the giver of the quest, you can scroll the description. At the side slots, there will be the rewards that you will get from the Quest.

Purifier GUI:


















 By Eridani with help from Luancat2

Instead of crafting, the Purifier breaks down blocks. Let's say that you mistakenly made a regular fence instead of a fence door, in Minecraft there is no way of reversing your blunder. However, with the purifier you can turn it back into six sticks! The purifier also enables you to smelt ores that were impossible to smelt before!  (Mod-added ores)
It also has hidden secrets. . .


A.D.D. Chat

Our companions at A.D.D. and I have been talking about our mods and their similarities. We have reached a friendly accord, and here is a chat where you can talk to them if you so wish!

A Tale Worth Telling: Summary

     Steve awakes in the World. Hungry and unable to remember. Flashes of light blind him as he gets up, and a vague memory of a Book cracks through his maimed memory. This world is unknown to him... or is it?  He senses something similar in here... something he yearns for.
     Steve shakes his drowsiness and sets off into the clear vast Overworld... yes... that's what it's called; Overwold. The Sun shines upon him as he discovers large virgin forests of deep oak wood. The lumber falls as he cracks it with his mighty fists.
     He experiments, molding the lumber into shapes and sizes, until he reaches the perfection of the Workbench. Through many yeas, and countless trial and errors, he has learned how to make mighty weapons and strong building... forgetting how he came and the memory of the Book.
     That is, until he found it. Never had he seen buildings not made by his own hand, nor had he seen books not written by his own pen. It was a vast underground building, made from old cracked stone bricks, a testament to an ancient race.
     The corridors twisted and turned, inhabited by evil worms and creatures that lurked i the obscure places of the Stronghold. He felt something within him as he approached a large open room. He peered through a high opening in the wall. Beneath him he saw a starry sky, moving like rippling water when a fish swims under it. But he also saw the Ender Guard.
     He wore a large piece of armor, underneath he only saw two glowing purple eyes, filled with blood lust. Steve had not encountered such a creature before, for it was unique to these buildings. He jumped, ready to  smite him o the head, but the creature leaped to the side, making a jab at Steve's collarbone. Steve quickly side-stepped, thrusting his blade forward as the Guard strode toward him, opening his armor ad dropping his entrails on the ground. He had been defeated.
     Somehow Steve knew what to do next. He rushed into the portal, appearing into the next side of it.
    
* * * * * 
     A large beating of wings blared, making him nearly deaf. All around him there were Ender Men, he was hopelessly outnumbered. His eyes evaded theirs. He could see a large Dragon soaring in the sky, barely visible against the dark contrast. 
     It lunged at him.
     Steve raised his sword and tried o pierce the Dragon's scales, to which only a mere few broke off and scattered the ground. The repetitive attacks and his weak counter attacks left him heaving. However, when all seemed lost the Dragon lunged, wings tucked and eyes victorious. Steve could only lift his sword above his head for a while, so he calculated, and thrust it above. 
     There was a blinding light and Steve felt rejuvenated as experience filled his veins, rushing into his muscles and intoxicating his system with victory. He opened his eyes and felt something clutching at him, he had been deprived of his sword and the Ender Men clutched at him with their hands, but now something was different. Their eyes had turned a beautiful green. They ported him away into a small town underneath the ground.

* * * * *  
     They offered him food and told him their story. How they had once thrived, and that a creature called the Berrsch Gruan had driven them into the Ender. Some others had gone into the Nether. They told him of how a Great Evil was taking all the Universes and making all Sentient Beings into slaves. 
     They gave him a book, called the Book of Lore, which they said would guide him. He was special. It was said that a Different would come and liberate them, and he was here.
     The Ender Men showed him a way into another World called Skyr, although it had many names during all of its history. It had been called Eterika, or Anemos, maybe even Aeria in its old times. They told him that in there, he would find he who would give him his quests, and drive him to his Fate: To liberate the Field of Dimensions.

On The Rafu'In

     This excerpt was taken from the book of Durnag the Druid, burnt at the stake for writing of Dark Magics and Forbidden History.
     "It is believed that during the time that Nether-Men were sealed in the Nether and that their long transformation into Blazes began, that some proved to have gained a foothold of themselves. Their minds had survived the transformation, but their bodies had become scarred and disfigured. They chose to hide themselves in between the folds of cloth, and called themselves the Rafu'In. Meaning the Hunters in the early Blazick language native to the Nether.
     "Seeking for a culprit for what had happened to them, they looked unto those alongside themselves. They were determined to kill all those who they were determined had brought them to the Nether, the Blazes, now so far from their regular form that they could be killed with no remorse. They wandered in the Endless Wastelands, seeking out those who had succumbed to the changes, slaughtering them and tossing their bodies wherever it seemed fit."
     "It was once said that the Rafu'In were good, and wanted to go back to the Overworld. But each time they killed more of the Blazes, they only became more self-centered and blood-thirsty. Through many generations and horrible acts of brutality, the Rafu'In had become native to the Nether. Concentrating on killing anything they could. They hid behind their cloaks, shrouded from the glowing light of the magma."
     "Their swords shone with the souls of the creatures they had taken, and their eyes gleamed with the pleasure of seeing the world burn. In this powerful but corruptible form, Deploro reached out to them, promising them bounty and all the killing they would desire, only if they would take care of an object."
     Drunag the Druid finishes his short legend there. It is believed that the object he talked about was the Vesseil Orb, briefly mentioned in the Chapters of Osgriand the Great, by the same author.

Gelidus Inferos

The "ice world" has been named! It is now Gelidus Inferos, which means Cold Underworld/Hell in Latin. Do you guys like this new name? Would you rather a different one? Let us know!


"A universe of ice and cold, great caverns and mountains of old,
Ancient castles and fortresses made of quartz litter the scape like huge gems,
the barrows under nigh hold icy horrors and ghost warriors wearing crystal helms,
The behemoth awaits in his cavern, for a foolish hero to try to rid the curse.
The rest is up to you.." - Varrgie

Skyr Stone

Skyr Stone is Done! Skyr Stone is what the skyre Portal is going to be made of!
