World Dimension Loader (WDL) 1.4.1-beta3 - Public Beta Candidate
Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge 47.4.22 / Java 17
Mod ID: worlddimensionloader

1. What WDL does
WDL imports COPIES of existing Minecraft worlds as configurable WDL-managed Dimensions and connects them with configurable Gates. Keep the original source worlds separate and backed up.

2. What this beta adds
Use the WDL Workbench to create and edit Dimensions, create and edit Gates, and change supported Common settings in-game. Dimension editing includes General, Runtime, Destination, Player, Environment, Time Limit, Inventory and Travel. Gate editing includes Destination, General, Frame, Activation and Costs.

3. Workbench access
ID: worlddimensionloader:wdl_workbench
There is no survival crafting recipe. Obtain it from the WDL Creative tab. The server checks that the player is in Creative mode and has permission level 2 or higher before allowing administration.

4. Important beta3 behavior
Dimension definitions cannot be deleted from the Workbench in 1.4.1-beta3. This is intentional. Gate definition deletion remains available with confirmation and dependency checks. If a world was previously used with beta1 and still contains a pending Dimension-delete plan, beta3 keeps the recovery data so it can be finalized safely on startup or inspected/cancelled with the recovery commands.

5. Safety
Back up config/worlddimensionloader/, WDL_custom_dimensions/, the Minecraft save and the original source worlds before administrative changes. WDL definition and recovery operations do not delete the physical WDL Dimension/world data or configured source-world data. If the Workbench reports that data changed, Refresh and retry from the current server state instead of forcing an old edit.

6. Manual configuration
The files remain under config/worlddimensionloader/: common.toml, dimensions.toml and gates.toml. Use the Config Guide for exact keys. Manual editing is an advanced, backup-first path.

7. Stable vs beta
1.4.1-beta3 is a beta candidate. WDL 1.4.0 remains the public stable release until a separate stable promotion occurs.
