#New Items and Blocks

This page will briefly describe all of the new items and blocks added by Dimensional Dungeons.

Bell of Secrets

The Bell of Secrets is a handy item to have on your hotbar in a dimensional dungeon. When used in most rooms it will play a short two note chime. However if the room contains a chest then an extended 8 note chime will play! This is your cue to search the room more thoroughly for a secret chest. This extended chime will play from the direction of the chest itself so you might be able to locate the chest by using stereo sound.

Homeward Pearl

The Homeward Pearl is a consumable item that can only be used once. When used inside of a dungeon it will instantly teleport you back to the entrance, exactly like when you first entered. This item cannot be used outside of the dungeon dimension.

Key Inscribing Station

The Key Inscribing Station is primarily a tool for modpack developers and a convenience item for most players. It can be used in place of an End Portal Frame for activating all types of keys. This might be important if your world lacks end portals! (Such as a skyblock.) In case the Key Inscribing Station is required don't forget to add a custom crafting recipe for it. Because otherwise the Key Inscribing Station is only available as loot inside the dungeons themselves.

The Key Inscribing Station has 3 stages of damage, just like an anvil. The chance of a Key Inscribing Station becoming damaged upon use is configurable, but defaults to 100%. This means that each Key Inscribing Station is useful for 3 keys.

Modpack developers might want to do something clever, such as give the Damaged Key Inscribing Station a 100% chance to break, but give the regular version a 0% chance to break, and give each of them a different way to be acquired. The choice is yours.

Personal Dimension Key

The Personal Dimension Key is the key to your own personal pocket dimension! This type of key opens a special portal to an 8x8 chunk (128 block square) island in a void world where you are free to build whatever you like. This dimension is separate from the dungeon dimension so rules about block protection do not apply.

Which void island a key will lead to is determined at the moment the Blank Personal Dimension Key is activated. Specifically, it will lead to the pocket dimension of the player that activated it. So if you lose your key, don't worry, you can make another and your island will still be there. It's almost like an Ender Chest but for your whole base!

Teleporter Hub Keys

The Teleporter Hub Key is a powerful reward exclusive to advanced dungeons. (Unless your modpack has changed this of course.) Think of teleporter hubs as one-room dungeons, with no mobs or treasure, and 8 entrances.

When you first enter a teleporter hub you'll see 8 doors (including the one behind you) and 7 other keyholes with 7 other keys inside them. Any portal frames that you put those keys into will lead to those exact doors. And remember you can build portal frames anywhere: in your personal pocket dimension, in a friend's base, at a stronghold, and even in the outer end islands! Now you can connect up to 8 remote locations with a handy shortcut!

Teleporter Hub Keys are unique and unreplaceable so do not lose them. But you can always find more Blank Teleporter Hub Keys in advanced dungeons which will lead to fresh hubs if you need more.
