The Porcelain

The Porcelain is a feature of the Bityard Datapack that provides a custom pocket dimension where players can freely use Creative Mode.

Accessing


To access the Porcelain for the first time, players must visit a special pedestal in Spawn.

Upon leaving the Porcelain, players will have a Porcelain item in their inventory which can then also be used to subsequently access the Porcelain from anywhere in the Overworld.

In order to access the Porcelain, players must ensure that their inventory is completely empty, aside from the Porcelain item that they are using. Players will instead see a warning appear if their inventory is not empty.

Players will see an obfuscated warning message appear if they attempt to use a Porcelain item while in the Nether or the End.

When players are in the Porcelain, anchors appear at the coordinates in both the Porcelain and the Overworld at where they entered. The Porcelain anchor appears as a player-sized cloud of End Rod particles, while the Overworld anchor appears as a Porcelain item standing on the ground with frothing End Rod particles erupting from its rim. Overworld anchors force load the chunk that they are created in.

Players can exit the Porcelain in numerous ways:
 * By using a Porcelain item.
 * By moving more than 7 chunks away from their anchor. Players that are about to exceed this limit receive a warning message and Blindness for a brief duration.
 * By moving below y level 0 or above y level 256.

When players exit the Porcelain, they return to the location of their Overworld anchor where they had originally entered. Their anchors then disappear. If for some reason a valid anchor in the Overworld cannot be found, a warning message will appear and players will instead be spread within 8 chunks from their coordinates in the Overworld.

Players' entire inventory and potion effects are cleared upon exiting the Porcelain, then given one Porcelain item.

Traits
Most items and blocks function the same way as they do in the Overworld, with a few exceptions:


 * Certain items are instantly removed from players' inventories:
 * Ender Chest
 * Bottle of Enchanting
 * Ender Pearl
 * Any consumable item
 * Both Beds and Respawn Anchors explode when used in the Porcelain

Environment
The Porcelain appears as a flat, empty, shimmering white plane.

Biomes
The Porcelain is comprised of a single biome named Porcelain.

Advancements
Upon entering the Porcelain, players are granted the "The Porcelain" advancement under the Bityard tab.

Issues

 * It is possible to use Creative Mode to cheese Advancements while in the Porcelain. Advancements are not checked or managed whatsoever between entering or exiting.
 * It is possible that multiple players' anchors in the Porcelain could force each other to exit if they are within a certain range from each other.
 * The fact that anchors in the Overworld force load chunks along with the amount of runnable commands per anchor can potentially damage performance when many players are in the Porcelain.
