Choosing the Right Dimensional Door for Bases and Exploration

Setting Up a Safe Pocket Base

Placing any dimensional door creates a rift and opens a swirling portal to another space, or you can find naturally generated gateways inside small Overworld structures. If you want to build a secure base away from Overworld hazards, choose between two safe door types:

• Iron Dimensional Door: Placing and entering this door generates a brand-new, empty pocket dimension. Inside, you will find a dark void made of the Fabric of Reality where you can safely build anything you want.
• Quartz Dimensional Door: This door always connects to your own personal, private pocket dimension. Only you can enter this space, making it ideal for storing your most valuable chests and workstations.

Exploring Dungeons and Random Destinations

When you are ready to look for loot or travel unpredictably, craft and place one of the exploration doors:

• Gold Dimensional Door: Leads into pre-built Dungeon Pockets. These range from simple hallways to complex mazes, puzzle rooms, and treasure chambers.
• Unstable Dimensional Door: Instead of creating a predictable pocket, stepping through this door teleports you to a random existing rift or another dimensional door.
