Subaru stairs

Subaru Stairs

Climb any staircase in any dimension and the world shifts green — a rising tint, glowing
particles, and looping ambient music kick in for as long as you’re on the stairs. Head deep
enough and you’ll find a portal to an entirely new dimension: an endless, circular tower with
a walkable spiral staircase stretching almost to the engine’s height limit.

Features**

Stair climb effect

• World tint shifts green (true multiply-blend, not a flat overlay) while standing on any StairsBlock, in any dimension
• Thin, upward-drifting light-streak particles
• Looping ambient music
• All three toggleable independently in the settings menu

The Tower dimension

• A circular tower generated at the engine’s practical height ceiling for 1.20.1 (min_y=-2032, height=4064)
• A continuous, gapless spiral staircase built from smooth stone slabs
• Solid stone-brick outer wall, open central shaft, sand floor at the very base
• A stone-brick roof near the top, with the final stretch of stairs removed before it
• A little surprise waiting at the very top step — you’ll have to climb all the way up to see it

Portals

• Build a rectangular stone-brick frame (any size from 1×1 up to 8×8, just like a Nether portal) and light it with flint and steel to open a way into the tower
• A green-recolored portal effect, modeled directly on the vanilla Nether portal
• Stepping back through the tower’s return portal drops you exactly where you entered — dimension, position, and facing — offset one block clear of the portal so you don’t get pulled straight back in
• A pre-lit return portal is already waiting at the base of the tower

Extras

• Instant respawn — no death screen
• A player death sound, randomly picked from two variants (50/50)
• A settings menu (pause-menu button + hotkey) for Music / Particles / Green Tint, saved to config/subaru_tower.json

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API

How to enter the tower

Build a rectangular frame out of stone bricks and light the inside with flint and steel,
exactly like a Nether portal. No commands or special items needed.

Version 0.1.1

Fixed

Worlds created with 0.1.0 could fail to load with “Errors in currently selected data packs prevented the world from loading”, and Safe Mode didn’t help. The tower dimension wasn’t saved correctly, which corrupted the world data.
The portal no longer teleports you after several brief touches. The delay now resets when you step out.
The green tint no longer gets stuck on the screen after leaving a world while standing on stairs.
A corrupted subaru_tower.json config no longer crashes the game on startup. Defaults are used instead.
Fixed a possible crash when other code queried block columns in the tower dimension.
Improved

Faster tower dimension generation: chunks outside the tower are skipped.
Important

Worlds created with 0.1.0 that already show the error can’t be repaired by this update. Please create a new world or restore a backup.
