Gamemode 4D
Gamemode 4D was a public server owned by Accidental Games. It was designed to give fans of Gamemode 4 an open server to play and experience a taste of what there is to offer (all modules used on server will be listed below). This server was the fourth iteration (Public Server IV), opened on November 10, 2017, and closed on October 29, 2018.
This server was the fourth iteration, but it was the first official GM4 server to be fully public, as all previous servers had a whitelist with an application form.

Getting Started on Gamemode 4D
When first spawning in Gamemode 4D, the player would spawn randomly in Landings. They would have a book in their inventory that explains to have to craft a Mandala (in a normal crafting table). The Mandala would allow players to travel to different dimensions. While holding the Mandala in Landings, right clicking the particles would take the player to the Overworld.

Vanilla Dimensions
There were several differences between the normal dimensions of Minecraft and the dimensions of Gamemode 4D. The Overworld, Nether, and End had been tweaked to make the survival experience more difficult.
Overworld
In this version of the overworld, there were many different characteristic than the vanilla Overworld. The bedrock layer was raised, less ore types could be found, and villagers were void from this world. Additionally, the 2 other vanilla dimensions (Nether and End) could not be accessed through this overworld. >Read More<
Nether
The Nether could not be accessed through the Overworld. To reach the Nether, a portal could be built at the very bottom area of Lower Caves. Portals in the Nether had to be below a certain height to properly activate.
The End
The End could not be accessed through the Overworld. To reach the End, a player had to use an End Portal found on the Moon.
