+/**
+ * After removing a dimension mod or a dimension datapack, Minecraft may fail to enter
+ * the world, because it fails to deserialize the chunk generator of the custom dimensions in file {@code level.dat}
+ * This mixin will remove the custom dimensions from the nbt tag, so the deserializer and DFU cannot see custom
+ * dimensions and won't cause errors.
+ * The custom dimensions will be re-added later.
+ *
+ * <p>This Mixin changes a vanilla behavior that is deemed as a bug (MC-197860). In vanilla, the custom dimension
+ * is not removed after uninstalling the dimension datapack.
+ * This makes custom dimensions non-removable. Most players don't want this behavior.
+ * With this Mixin, custom dimensions will be removed when its datapack is removed.
