Riftbound is a Minecraft Java 1.21.1 NeoForge mod that lets you cut holes through reality using the Void Dagger and enter your own personal pocket dimension.
Instead of simply teleporting the player, the Void Dagger tears open a temporary Void Point: a physical rift in the world that players can walk through.
On the other side is a space carved out of the Void itself.
The Void Dagger is the heart of Riftbound.
Right-clicking with the dagger opens a Void Point in front of you. The rift remains open temporarily, allowing you or nearby players to physically walk through it.
Using a Void Point refreshes its lifetime, making two-way travel easy without leaving permanent portals scattered around the world.
The dagger includes its own custom model and inventory icon and is designed to feel like an actual artifact rather than a simple teleportation tool.
Every player receives their own personal pocket dimension.
These pockets exist separately from the normal Minecraft world and can be used for things such as:
Pocket dimensions are intentionally contained rather than being another infinite dimension.
Server owners can configure the size of each pocket depending on how much building space they want players to have.
Protective barriers, a roof, and Void safety systems help prevent players from accidentally escaping the pocket or being permanently lost beneath it.
Riftbound is built with multiplayer in mind.
While each pocket dimension belongs to a specific player, Void Points are physical portals. If another player reaches your rift before it closes, they can follow you through.
This means pocket dimensions behave like actual locations rather than private menus or invisible teleport commands.
Portal behavior is handled server-side to keep travel consistent and safer on multiplayer servers.
Long before players learned how to build portals, the Void was already listening.
It existed between dimensions as a silent pressure, a place where distance, light, and direction barely mattered. Most people only brushed against it in dreams, within the End, or during the final second before falling forever.
The Void Dagger is forged from things that were never meant to belong together: echoes, obsidian that still remembers crying, netherite, blaze fire, Ender sight, and the impossible gravity of a Nether Star.
When swung, it does not open a door.
It cuts a wound.
For a few moments, that wound remains open.
Step through, and you enter a pocket carved directly from the Void itself.
