Sliders technology

Discord server for bug/request/ideas: https://discord.gg/UzfJBbE7pc

“What if you could travel to parallel worlds? The same year, the same Earth, only different dimensions.”

Slidersmod brings back the dimensional-exploration concept from the 90s TV series Sliders.
This mod adds the iconic timers from the show into Minecraft, along with a set of blocks and gameplay mechanics designed to stay fully Minecraft-friendly!
You’ll be able to explore completely random destinations — each with their own perks and dangers — for a duration you decide. Whether you take the risk is entirely up to you!

REQUIRED MOD :

– Mekanism 

RECOMMENDED MODS 

–  Immersive portals (= lot of incompatibilities with Immersive portal, especially Securitycraft !) -> Without this mod, vortex cannot render any depth effect ! 

– In control ! (= without this mod, you cannot have custom mob spawning into parallel worlds) 

– Per Dimension Game Rules (= without this mod, you cannot have custom rules into parallels dimensions) 

– Patchouli

These 4 mods are actually REQUIRED BUT next update will make them optionnal 

Mod Content

• Immersive Portals integration

The mod leverages Immersive Portals to reproduce a vortex effect as cool as the one from the series!

• Crafting progression inspired by Mekanism

Most recipes are built around Mekanism resources, ensuring the Sliders technology isn’t accessible too early in your playthrough.

• Multiple custom dimensions

Featuring a tier-based dimension system with spawn probabilities:

– dimensions populated only by cats,

– dystopian worlds where the Nether has conquered the Overworld,

– worlds where time flows differently,

– post-apocalyptic landscapes,

…and more!

Some dimensions apply bonuses or dangerous penalties to the player — explore carefully! Every dimensions are detailes into the book’s mod ingame, if you don’t want to spoil yourself ! 

• Functional and damaged timers

A working timer allows you to explore a random destination among many custom dimensions for a predetermined duration.
But if you try to force an early return, you’ll damage your timer, sending you into uncontrollable jumps with random durations and random worlds!

• Overheat system

Use your timer too frequently and it will overheat, forcing you to wait before rolling the dimensional dice again.

• Upgrade system

A freshly crafted timer is unstable and unpredictable — upgrades can make it far more efficient:

– reduced cooldown,

– reduced overheat probability,

– increased exploration time,

– access to exotic high-tier dimensions,

… and more!

If you want to spoil yourself about dimensions: 

• Four types of timers

Each with its own vortex style and special abilities:

– Original Timer — the standard model.

– Egyptian Timer — can track previously opened vortexes.

– Exodus Timer — can store explored locations and return to them later.

– Logan Timer — targets the Overworld exclusively (upgraded versions allow increasingly precise landing points).

• Multiplayer-friendly utility blocks

To make the experience richer in multiplayer:

– Quantum Recall Station — open a return vortex on a previously marked player.

– Proto-synchronizer — share exploration destinations with other players.

• Raid system

Vortexes may spontaneously open and let through various “explorers”: villagers, wardens, or even your doppelgänger…
Sometimes it’s an opportunity to get a timer the “easy” way !
