 Description   

Installing a a datapack that adds a new custom dimension and running a command such as

/execute in <dimension> run tp @p ~ ~ ~

results in the error "Unknown dimension '<dimension>'". However, that'll successfully teleport the player in both singleplayer and a Vanilla 1.16.1 server.

I've attached a minimal datapack that adds the dimension "custom:test" for easy testing.

I found a plugin that works for 1.16.3, it allows custom dimensions in Spigot by managing them as separate worlds, and functions to tp to them work perfectly: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/1-16-custom-dimensions.83731/

This bug destroies any biomes / dimensions added by datapacks completely.

I know this is still an experimental function, but Spigot should support every Vanilla functions right?

@md_5 But would it hurt anyone if you would add support for custom dimensions and biomes?
It would just be beneficial for most people.

I know they decided that since it's still in an experimental phase, but I think it's one of the cooler features of 1.16, and really hope the devs do not just ignore it

Read the 1.16 release notes, vanilla dimensions are nit intended to be supported.
