Notes
- Available since 0.1.8 / Protocol 40. Both client and server must update together.
- Server-side only. See Character dimensions for the complete scope, transition rules and character-creator example.
- Dimension 0 is the default; the ordinary streaming distance still applies. World objects, doors, gates and items remain shared.
- Use these exact lower-camel names; there is no client-side setter.
- Getters do not grant mutation permission or change visibility. A valid dimension can be 0; test explicitly against false for missing entities.
