Please read the FAQ before posting an issue!

Installation

Custom Portals is a Fabric mod. To use this mod, you will first need to install Fabric. You will also need the Fabric API. For versions prior to the release for 1. 18. 1, you will also need the Cardinal Components API.

Navigate to your .minecraft folder and place the .jar file you downloaded, along with the .jar for the Fabric API & Cardinal Components API, into the "mods" folder. Launch Minecraft, and the mod should be installed.

 

Getting Started

To construct portals, you will need to craft portal catalysts. These are crafted with four ender pearls, four eyes of ender, and any dye, like so:

 

 

Once you have your portal catalysts, you'll want to build frames for your portals out of the block of your choice. The frames can be any size and shape (for versions before 3. 2. 0, they must be rectangular).

When you're done, right click on the inside of the frame with your portal catalyst, and the portal will activate. Do the same where you want the other portal to be. If both of your portals are made out of the same materials and are within range, they will automatically link to each other and you will be able to travel between them. Portals that are linked will have an animated, lit-up texture and emit particles. By default, you will spawn in the center of your portal. You can change your portal's spawn position by shift-right-clicking the portal block you want to set it to with an empty hand.

 

Applying a redstone signal to a portal now turns it off!

Want to make portals that are only one way? Want to turn your portal off when you're not using it so that mobs don't wander in? Versions for Minecraft 1. 19 and above allow you to do so with redstone!
