Different "Dimensions" / Other worlds

I don't think anyone suggested this in the past, and I thought maybe a place to discuss this (and put bounties) would be a good start. # Problem The Minetest world is pretty big for the average player, right? 31 kilometers in 6 directions is enough for at least singleplayer, and most multiplayer servers, apparently. However, even then, you have a server that is just too big, or a player who wants to explore a pretty big area. Now, with only one "dimension", the current "Overworld", you already have enough space to last a good long time, but if you added mods like the nether mod, or anything else that adds a new space that is supposed to be "far away", then you run into problems. For example, lets say I made a new dimension, and put it at around -30000. That seems to be far down enough. To get it, you need to mine a lot of diamonds to make a portal. Except, if you are one of those players who needs a lot of room (Or you just really love the colour of stone) you may mine all the way down to -30000. Then no matter how many diamonds you may have mined, you have reached the diamond dimension. Sure, I could use a bedrock-like block to stop people, but now we've lost 1000 layers downward of our world to a diamond dimension. Besides that, if I need any more space for my dimension, I need to take more room. Besides that, if I wanted to make a dimension like the Moon, and I want to make sure every player has a certain sky texture applied to them, I would need to check every so many
