How to Get Started with Your First Hoverboard and Rifts
Finding the Riftwright
To begin exploring dimensions on a hoverboard, you must first locate the Riftwright's Home in the Overworld. Search the terrain until you find this structure, where you will meet an NPC called the Riftwright. Interact with the Riftwright to obtain your very first starter board, the Default Drifter. This base model grants basic hover mechanics, allowing you to float smoothly across ground obstacles as you prepare for dimensional travel.
Entering Dimensions and Returning
Beside the Riftwright's Home, you will find an active time Rift. Jump directly into the Rift to transport yourself to the mod's new dimensions.
- Be Prepared Before Jumping: Ensure your inventory is stocked with weapons and supplies before stepping in.
- No Automatic Exit: Unlike Nether or End portals, a return portal does not spawn behind you when you step into a dimension.
- Locate a Return Rift: To get back home to the Overworld, you must explore the dimension until you find an active Return Rift.
- Bring Back Materials: Safe passage through a Return Rift allows you to take any gathered dimension loot directly back to the Riftwright.
